Drawing from my experiences, I'll explore the delicate balance between caring for our children and rediscovering ourselves. Plus, I have a secret antidote...

May 17, 2023 09:00 - 19 minutes - 13.7 MBMom guilt is the absolute WORST, we can all agree on that. But what about self-guilt?

How can we get rid of these feelings of guilt and come up with a better conversation to have with ourselves? In this episode, I dive into exactly WHY we tend to hyper-fixate on the negative (as well as why negative memories, ...

May 10, 2023 10:00 - 36 minutes - 25.3 MBI know exactly how it feels to get trapped in the time suck that is running a household and trying to do all the things only to get to the end of the day and feel like you didn’t accomplish a single thing but somehow your brain is fried and your body is exhausted. Then the mom guilt starts, you know there were parts of your day you could have spent more efficiently so you start beating yourself up over what you “should” have done and how you “could have spent your time” and now you’ll never ...
022. Spring clean your thoughts with this process
May 03, 2023 10:00 - 19 minutes - 13.2 MBAs I’m sure you’ve experienced- our thoughts are incredibly powerful. When we’re good they can allow us to dream, to set goals, and to be thoughtful, sincere, and brilliant. When we’re not doing so great our thoughts can be destructive, tearing us down and making us feel small and hopeless, they can spiral out of control and burn bridges. The energy spent in negative thought spirals can zap us of our energy and motivation and make us irritable and angry. In this episode we are going through...

March 22, 2023 09:00 - 28 minutes - 19.4 MBIn this episode, I am interviewing one of my dearest friends from South Devon, UK! Katie Mills is an incredible wife, daughter, sister, auntie (to more sweet babies than I can even count), dog mom to Ernie and Doris, friend, nurse, and home gardening enthusiast (I'd like to say pro or expert, but she's also incredibly humble so I'll say she's “very skilled”) In this episode, Katie and I are talking about how she and her husband Tom (also an amazing human) got started with their garden eve...
019. Starting a mini farm from scratch + mushroom farming with Jordan Vuong of Moonrise Mini Farm
March 15, 2023 10:00 - 45 minutes - 31.1 MBWe know that gardening would be good for our mental and physical health and that it's a great hobby pretty much year-round. To be totally honest, I don't think any of us like the idea of solely depending on other people to provide us with food, either. If you were nodding along with me as you read those first two sentences, this is the episode for you. In this episode, I am interviewing a dear friend of mine from New Mexico named Jordan Vuong. She and her husband Kevin are Michigan-Orego...
018. My SECRET to beating bad weather burnout
March 01, 2023 15:00 - 32 minutes - 22.7 MBWhile we may have overcome or skated past the dreaded "SAD" (Seasonal Affective Disorder, or seasonal depression) we may not be feeling great mentally or emotionally. Is it pretty gray and gloomy, maybe rainy or snowy where you live pretty much all fall and winter long, with very few sunshine breaks in between? It can be so hard to stay upbeat and not feel bummed out and totally over the gloom, even if you're happy with your life, routines, and environment. I like to call this: bad weath...
017. How to become an "outside mom" and enjoy outdoor play with your kids
February 22, 2023 21:00 - 23 minutes - 16.3 MBFor years I have been asking myself: Why do Europeans seem to live so much better than us? Why does the weather not seem to faze them quite so much as it deters us in America? And I have made it my mission to find the answers. A huge difference between Europeans- specifically those who live in Great Britain and Ireland- and those of us in the states, is our mentalities regarding the weather. Here in the states, we are more likely to use inclement weather as an excuse for not going outside-...

015. 10x Your Productivity with Seasonal Living
February 08, 2023 10:00 - 31 minutes - 22 MBIt's being said that February is the worst month in the whole year for seasonal depression, lack of motivation, and self-confidence. Makes sense, considering most people abandon their resolutions by February 1st and usually get pretty self-loathing afterward. And for those who don’t subscribe to resolutions, we still can’t escape the winter funk either because somehow winter has lasted 87 months with at least 2 more months of cold, gray weather in our future, even with it being the shortest ...

November 14, 2022 18:00 - 24 minutes - 16.9 MBA couple of years ago I was stuck in a vicious cycle of overwhelm, constant guilt, and discontentment with myself. I needed to make a change that would allow me more simplicity, peace, and joy in the life I already had.

Today we are going to be diving into what seasonal living actually is, and how it is my number one secret to k...

July 06, 2022 14:00 - 14 minutes - 9.81 MBWhen it comes to your inner dialogue and the way you are thinking and speaking: how kind are you being to your food and too yourself? The thing about toxic speech around food is that it’s never about the food itself. It’s not even about us EATING the food. It’s about how we have been conditioned to see “good” food and “bad” food, and “healthy” behaviors as well as unhealthy ones. In this episode we are diving into toxic things we say about ourselves and the food that nourishes our bodies,...

001. Your relationship with food and your picky eater
June 15, 2022 12:00 - 24 minutes - 17.1 MBThere is so much shame around food and eating. Food is a gift and it’s meant to not only nourish our bodies- which are also gifts- but give us energy to do the things that we need and want to do. There are all of these food-related buzz words that create so much grief and turmoil inside of us like “clean” “whole” “processed” “organic” “real” “junk” “healthy” “good” “bad”. If these terms are creating so much turmoil inside of us, how do you think our little minds are feeling while they watch ...
