April 16, 2022 18:00 - 9 minutes - 6.86 MB

Hello darlings!  This week I got told that people "miss my voice".. to say that made my lil heart skip a beat.. because I know I have been quiet, more reserved ..just trying to get by. AND THATS OKAY.. To hear that makes ones heart light a little bit, because showing up for others was something that lit me up.. and i think I forgot you HAVE TO SHOW UP FOR YOU FIRST .. before you can show up for anyone.. or that pursuit of happiness.. will be JUST THAT. the pursuit, but now settling..no actu...

February 02, 2022 11:00 - 11 minutes - 8.22 MB

Coming off of last weeks episode, I bring a little feels to trusting the process. This week we remind ourselves that we are human & emotions come in and out just like the tides. Through whatever chapter, stage or area of life we are in .. parent or not we're in a perpetual juggle of trusting the universe & being drake (aka in my feels.) Its not always meant to be easy, but it sure as shit will be worth it.  So it is my hope that you always remember .. it is okay to be fully supported by the...

December 05, 2021 23:00 - 10 minutes - 7.08 MB

This episode I go into how this past fall/last 6 months have been the busiest since pre pandemic. And how being busy eventually leads to exhaustion... And THIS IS  the status quo of society... YUP, thats right our society deems exhaustion as a status symbol.  I jump into why this has been happening, & how we can change this going into 2022.  Lets change the status symbol of what is accepted, we SHOULD NOT lead ourselves into the brink of exhaustion & deem that okay. xoxo rooting for you

Savoring that Beyonce energy

September 07, 2021 00:00 - 8 minutes - 5.75 MB

IMM BACKKKK!!!! This episode we dive into why I needed to take a little mama break.  MY word for this year was SAVOR- and I found that end of July came & I felt pressure.. I felt overwhelmed & tbh I felt like I needed to just sit on the beach alone.  So I did exactly that. I savored the rest of summer with my family & I regrouped to bring you guys the best I could! Not just my mama bears but all my ladies.  So stick around this fall will be a lot of fun.  I'm here always rooting for you. xo...

If you only focus on the should, it won't be no good

July 19, 2021 07:00 - 22 minutes - 15.4 MB

In today's episode, I talk about doing less, I bring up Kate Northrup's book Do Less. I squirrel about motherhood & I dig deep into why we as a society are soooo fixated on what we "should" be or look like or act like or feel like or do. And frankly, I just cannot take it anymore.  Because the moral of the story is if you only focus on the SHOULD darling it won't be no GOOD.

Slow seasons are really just soul finding seasons

July 12, 2021 09:00 - 13 minutes - 9.65 MB

In today's episode, we talk about the societal need for us to constantly be performing and achieving in order to feel as if we can't ever "take-off" or "be off." As an enneagram 7, I unpack what that looks like for me, as I have been going through something similar. I talk about an amazing friend from across the ponds podcast Charge your Core by Suzie Bell and how her recent episode got my wheels turning. This episode is a fun squirrely pivot towards onward things for the podcast!

June 28, 2021 09:00 - 8 minutes - 5.92 MB

Life is so short, and as soon as we realize once we stop living up to what other people expect of us.. we will realize we were perfectly happy and content where we are than where they thought we should be. DO YOU SIS. rooting for you the whole way.

In today's episode, we talk about the what if's and how they could be robbing you of happiness. What if happiness is letting go of what you thought your life should look like...and embracing where you are & just how special it is!

Mercury is in haterade, put yo seat belts on

June 04, 2021 09:00 - 10 minutes - 7.59 MB

In today's episode, my computer almost blows up - Mercury Retrograde & eclipse szn has things going awry.. so what does that mean? we get a very squirrel-ish episode on the seasons of pivot & how to navigate it. We are a high school musical here, and all in this together. So no matter what season we are in - it's okay to redo, reevaluate & realign. Trust me, things are always clearer on the other side of rest & rejuvenation. xoxo may the retrograde be forever in your favor

May 14, 2021 21:47 - 17 minutes - 12.4 MB

Today's episode we talk morning routines & how they help bring magic into our lives. Setting ourselves up for success starts the night before with good night sleep..

But to be productive, happy and successful it starts in those first few hours of the day. Lets make it magical. xoxo

Limiting Beliefs are for the birds

May 07, 2021 09:00 - 21 minutes - 14.8 MB

In today's episode, we talk about the stories that aren't serving us any longer... aka our limiting beliefs. The story we tell ourselves about how capable we are of whatever it is that we set our minds to THATS YOUR LIMITING BELIEF. Limiting Beliefs can be sneaky AF because they get into our belief system without us even realizing it. And then it's years later and we take a long hard look and we realize none of what we've been telling ourselves is ACTUALLY TRUE. we're in this together girl ...

Hype Girl: YOU CAN!

April 30, 2021 09:00 - 7 minutes - 4.94 MB

In today's episode, I squirrel a little but we talk about believing in ourselves. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS EVER. After the year of pivot we learned resilience, we gained gratitude & appreciation. We are worthy and capable. YOU CAN. do anything, be anything & acquire anything that you want in life. The girl you are meant to be is on the other side of fear, you just have to believe in yourself

March 26, 2021 09:00 - 12 minutes - 8.41 MB

In today's episode, we talk about being old. We talk about dropping the mic. & I go into how rare unicorns are actually female adult friends. It's about being comfortable in your skin.

I manifested that my wavelength was the same as a person I admire...BOOM.) SO let's dive in... Our energy is what makes the universe go round, we are all on a frequency. This...

The Mental Health Of Moms

March 05, 2021 10:00 - 17 minutes - 11.8 MB

Let's talk mental health this week y'all! But this week, we are going into the mental health of moms. Not that my singleton/married no kid lady friends don't need a mental health check-in too.. this episode just isn't directed at you. { wait your turn ;) } That being said, all women's mental health matters. But in the last year.. literally, it's the beginning of March. So for ONE WHOLE YEAR now, we have had to balance situations and tribulations that no mothers have ever had to balance...

A little chaos, a little coparenting

February 19, 2021 10:00 - 17 minutes - 11.8 MB

In today's episode, we are talking coparenting! If this is something that you deal with personally then you are in the right place!! Please stick around because I would love to hear your thoughts!

In today's episode, we talk about mental health. In hopes that talking about it, can help end the stigma. We talk about how it looks for some people & things that can help. But mostly, we talk about WHY it's okay, to not be okay. For my own mental health, I try journaling, manifesting with the moon, self-care & gratitude EVERY DAY. It sounds silly, but even on my most anxious days - it makes a difference.
