Money Doesn’t Buy Happiness Is Bull Sh*t

February 23, 2024 05:00 - 14 minutes - 10.1 MB

Alright, before you go hating on me for the title, hear me out.  I 100% believe that happiness is found in health, love, faith, etc.  But, can we all agree that money helps a bit too?  Whether we are talking about bills that basically every adult human has coming in monthly, or the extra costs of things like self care, wine and dining, or a vacation, money helps pay for those things, and therefore reduces our stress around it, and therefore helps us be happier.  So yes, I said it. The sa...

February 14, 2024 08:00 - 1 hour - 57.4 MB

Ever wondered why getting your hair done is so spendy? Or why it’s so frowned upon to cancel on your stylist?  This episode is a fun interview with my friend and Salon Teas owner, Paige Teas, giving us an overview of the behind the scenes costs of being a hair stylist, the many reasons a last minute cancellation is less than ideal, plus some quick tips on hair do’s and don’ts! 

Be Unapologetically, Uniquely YOU!

February 07, 2024 08:00 - 17 minutes - 12.1 MB

It’s so easy to look in the mirror and pick ourselves apart.  It’s so easy to compare ourselves to the cool girl, the skinny girl, the pretty girl, or even the girl we see online that is clearly using a filter or has been photoshopped.  But think about it - while you’re busy judging yourself, 99.9% of other people are NOT judging you.  They don’t notice or definitely don’t care about the zit on your face, the 5lbs you want to lose, the bad hair day you’re having, the not so funny joke you...

Let’s Try To Be A Little Bit More “Unbothered”

January 31, 2024 08:00 - 18 minutes - 12.6 MB

At dinner with the besties the other night, in the midst of catching up, laughing, and venting, one of them said “We need to be more unbothered.”  She had recently read a post on Facebook by a girl named Kristen Joy Martin about becoming an “unbothered” person, and she sent it to us.  While I think I need this tattooed on my forearm to remind myself to be unbothered in the MANY moments I find myself bothered, such as at a red light, a messy house, an unanswered text, etc., it’s a great poi...

“Our Dermatology Questions Answered - Interview with Kari Knight”

January 24, 2024 08:00 - 1 hour - 55.5 MB

Our face is like our brand, and a lot of us women strive for it to be in the best shape possible. But how do we get there?  There’s Botox and Dysport, but what’s the difference? How much is it? Is it safe?  There’s filler, but again, how much is it? Is it safe?  There’s SO many different skin care products, but which one is best and most affordable?  All of those questions answered and SO much more goodness in this episode interviewing the fabulous Kari Knight, owner of Knight Dermatolog...

Girlfriend, YOU are a rockstar!

January 17, 2024 08:00 - 13 minutes - 9.6 MB

As women, we have to navigate A LOT in life. A significant other, a mom, a friend, a family member, having a career, a grocery getter, a bill payer, a calendar organizer, etc. - some of us are ALL of those things. And if no one else has told you lately, let me tell you LOUD AND CLEAR - Girlfriend, you are an absolute rockstar. And don’t you ever forget it! 

Future You Is Made Now

January 10, 2024 08:00 - 17 minutes - 12.4 MB

Think about future you and what you want that girl’s life to look and feel like. What could present you do to make that happen? For instance, future Tana wants to get rid of some flab and not have my back hurt when I’m bathing my daughter. So present Tana should probably stop be lazy and start getting some daily exercise in.  Truly, take a minute to think about future you. Whether that’s 6 months from now, 1 year from now, 3 years from now. What does her life look and feel like? What action...

It’s 2024 & WE’RE BAAAAACK

January 03, 2024 08:00 - 25 minutes - 17.7 MB

How has it been 6 months since the last episode?  LIFE. IS. NUTS.  This quick episode is an update on life with hubs & I, and my 1,000,000 excuses why it’s been so long since the last episode (with a side of some recognition from the hubs as to why my excuses are valid).  But, here we are. The One Girl To Another podcast is back (and tumblers are on the way).  2024, we’re coming for ya!

Social Media - The Highlight Reel

June 21, 2023 07:00 - 15 minutes - 10.9 MB

Girl, if you’re anything like me when you scroll social media, you find yourself comparing yourself to others and how perfect their life is, how pretty they are, how successful they are, etc.  But, we have to keep in mind, pretty much no one posts the shit of their life on social media. It’s literally a highlight reel of people’s lives. This podcast is bringing you real life. Even the shitty parts of life. The parts that I believe we all experience, but don’t really talk about. This podcas...

Feeling A Bit Psycho? Girl, You’re Normal!

June 16, 2023 06:00 - 20 minutes - 13.9 MB

Y’all, it’s been a hard week for multiple different reasons. So much so that I took a half day from work today to get some things done so I could stop feeling so overwhelmed. While it did help, I still felt PSYCHO. What 34 year old woman has to leave work so they don’t have a mental breakdown? PICK ME! And guess what? I’m kind of proud of myself for recognizing that tightness in my chest and doing me for a few hours. And, I think it’s NORMAL for that to happen once in a while. I’M normal. YO...

You Never Know What’s Going On Behind The Scenes

June 07, 2023 10:00 - 17 minutes - 11.9 MB

You know those times when someone is over the top happy or really freaking cranky, and we are so quick to judge? Do you ever stop and wonder what life is like for them behind the scenes? Maybe that happy person is really drowning in depression. Maybe that cranky person is having a terrible day for whatever reason. Instead of being so quick to judge, perhaps we can pause and realize maybe we aren’t seeing the full picture, and give them a little grace. 

“Don’t Let One Rock Chip Ruin Your Mood”

May 31, 2023 07:00 - 14 minutes - 10.1 MB

Within two days I got two rock chips in my windshield. Insert brand new windshield and first drive with it, and I got hit with ANOTHER rock.  While it didn’t leave a chip that I could tell, I know for damn sure I would’ve let it ruin my mood for the entirety of the day. But, why? Over a rock chip?  In the grand scheme of things, if a rock chip is the worst of my day, things are pretty damn good. 

No One Can Tell You How YOU Feel!

May 25, 2023 05:00 - 16 minutes - 11.4 MB

Today I’m getting really passionate about letting yourself feel ALL the feels, and not letting ANYONE tell you your feelings aren’t valid. No one gets to tell you how you should feel or that how you feel isn’t right, and I challenge you to stand up for yourself if someone does. They’re YOUR feelings to feel, so feel them, girl.

A Mother’s Day/Bestie Talk Sesh w/ Jena Bos

May 17, 2023 07:00 - 30 minutes - 21.2 MB

Mother’s Day turned into making one of my best friends into my OGTA shirt making b*tch, as well as the next guest on the OGTA podcast.  Basically just a talk sesh between two besties, Jena and I talk about how we became friends from the womb, and about all things #momlife - her being a boy mom, and myself being a girl mom. 

Life Is Mother Fing BUSY

May 11, 2023 07:00 - 16 minutes - 11.5 MB

Alright friends, podcast days are officially changing to Wednesdays! Because, welllll, life!  How do you navigate life as a mom of 2 in sports, a wife, a full time employee plus running a side business, having a husband who works full time and is running a side business, and then just regular life things?!  You just do.  And it’s stressful.  And it’s normal.  And someday we’ll look back and realize these were the best days of lives, I’m sure.  But today, it’s stressful, and you’re norm...

You ARE Enough

May 02, 2023 07:00 - 18 minutes - 12.9 MB

After a weekend with the girls, I’ve looked at photos that should be memories and hated them because I don’t look “skinny enough”. After a night of argument with my daughter, I’m going to bed thinking “I’m not a good enough mom” After draining days at work and all of the running around in the evenings, I think “I’m not being enough for my husband.”  And the list of how I’m “not enough” goes on and on. But, we are our own worst critic. It’s probably normal to have these thoughts, and in t...

A Little Life Update with Hubs

April 26, 2023 03:00 - 25 minutes - 17.6 MB

Ok, but where have I been?  Chase and I dive into some things of the big life updates that have happened during my hiatus.  And now, with the least ideal podcast recording setting ever, I’m back. And a new studio is on the way! 

YOUR GIRL IS BAAAACK!

April 18, 2023 07:00 - 9 minutes - 6.76 MB

I went on a bit of a hiatus (ok, more like a BIG hiatus), but I’m BACK! And I’m not going anywhere anytime soon. I have a long list of topics coming at you weekly, and would love your suggestions for new topics and guests! I’m SO excited to be back on this journey with you! Xoxo 

Can We Just NOT With Shitty Social Media Posts?!

January 18, 2022 08:00 - 40 minutes - 28 MB

Social media is one of the main roots of bullying, no matter your age. Hubs hit a curb in lots of snow and “timmmmberrrr” went the truck and camper into the ditch. Lucky for us, there was zero damage. But there was a keyboard troll who decided to post photos of it a week later in our local community group for no other reason that I can think of than to get laughs at Hubs’ expense. Lucky for the keyboard troll that Hubs doesn’t care what other people think of him. But, can we just NOT wit...

Life Update + Dedicating 2022 to What Makes YOU Happy!

January 11, 2022 08:00 - 22 minutes - 15.2 MB

It’s been a couple of months and this girl hasn’t been in the right mindset to record a podcast or do anything super productive to be honest. I’ve let all things life consume me in a negative way. But it’s a new year and I’m dedicating 2022 to doing what makes ME happy, which will ultimately benefit everyone and everything around me. You in, girlfriend?! Cheers to 2022 & YOU!

#Mom Life - The Second Child

November 10, 2021 00:30 - 17 minutes - 12.1 MB

Hey mamas of two - Is your second child a whole different person than your first? In my experience and in most cases that other fellow mamas have shared with me, the second child is WAY more of a handful! Just know you’re not alone, because my second child, while equally as fabulous as my first child, is 100% more ornery (and 100% my payback)! Enjoy a few hilarious (and trying) stories about my sweet 3 year old, Hilynn, and DM your stories to @onegirl_toanother if you can relate!

An OGTA Podcast Update

October 26, 2021 20:32 - 19 minutes - 13.6 MB

“You know what is best for you. You’re the only one living your life.” is a quote that I heard recently on a podcast that I listen to. Between that and the support of The OGTA Podcast Tech Dude (aka my husband), I’ve decided to not force an episode every Tuesday. Episodes will be released when there is something on my heart that I feel will be relatable and worth listening to. Please check the @onegirl_toanother Instagram stories to cast your vote on the frequency of the podcast episodes...

Highly Active Brains = Less Sex Drive = ME!

October 12, 2021 07:00 - 20 minutes - 14.4 MB

I am listening to a book on Audible right now, “Everybody Fights” by Penn & Kim Holderness, a book on marriage. It is a GREAT book that I highly recommend. It is funny and light hearted and I’ve connected on SO many levels. But, they say, when things are better in the bedroom, they are better outside of the bedroom. I beg to differ because … They also say “Highly active brains have less of a sex drive”. Girlfriend, is your brain CONSTANTLY on? Like 24/7. Even when your head hits the pi...

Girlfriend, PUT. YOUR. PHONE. AWAY.

September 28, 2021 22:57 - 13 minutes - 9.15 MB

More and more lately I have caught myself and others around me with our attention on our phones rather than giving that attention to the people that we are with and/or the tasks that we are doing. So, I challenge both myself and you to put our phones away. Hell, take off your watch that pings you with notifications if you need to. Just unplug and be present where your feet are.

Don’t Be A Judgmental A-hole - Interview With My Mama

September 21, 2021 07:00 - 19 minutes - 13.3 MB

Today, I have one of the most kind-hearted, genuine people as a guest - my mom. She’s lived through some shit (as we all have) that she has been judged on by people who she should’ve been able to count on to be there for her and by people who didn’t know the whole story. And more notably, by people who call themselves Catholic, Christian, etc, and that go to church every Sunday. We are all entitled to our religious beliefs and what we believe is right or wrong, but we aren’t entitled to ju...

Feeling Defeated? Me too, girl. You're Normal.

September 14, 2021 20:52 - 22 minutes - 15.8 MB

In today's episode, I come to you from a real, raw and honest feeling of feeling defeated as of late.  Just down in the dumps, can't catch a break, feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders.   And with the way of the world today and all of the other things that are on our plates as girls, I have a hunch that you might be feeling a bit like this too.  So, I wanted to share my own real life situations and let you know that you are NOT alone.   Please know that I am always there for y...

You Won’t Be Everyone’s Cup of Tea, but I’m Sure You’re Plenty of People’s Shot of Whisky

September 07, 2021 21:58 - 11 minutes - 8.23 MB

Feeling & sounding like crap today from a dang head cold (no, it’s not Rona - been there, done that), I almost didn’t record a podcast to spare you all the annoyance of my manly, nasally voice. And then I checked my Instagram and saw that I lost 3 followers in the last few days and I was feeling even more crappy. Then I realized something - why am I letting anyone other than myself dictate what I do, how I act, how I sound, etc? I’m not going to NOT record a podcast because I have a co...

Life, Love, Stress & Setbacks - Another Interview with Mr. Ainsworth

August 31, 2021 07:00 - 37 minutes - 25.5 MB

A late night, last minute podcast episode with my husband and the OGTA podcast editor, Chase Ainsworth. We cover recent struggles in our marriage, political views and how your social media post or comment do not change a damn thing, our kids starting school, and not being ashamed of needing marriage counseling refreshers. To the dude who I say a million times in the podcast “I could kill you” and he says it right back to me, I love you more than life itself. Regardless of my harmless thr...

There Is No Such Thing As “Right” Timing!

August 24, 2021 23:44 - 20 minutes - 31 MB

No matter we try to plan for, life will always throw us curve balls. From having a baby or starting a business to having sex with your partner or having a hard conversation, there is literally no such thing as “right” timing. I’m sure you’ll relate with your own life, but tale my real life examples in this podcast to prove it even further.

Navigating Anxiety With Therapy & Other Techniques

August 17, 2021 20:22 - 30 minutes - 21 MB

In episode 32, a friend and I discuss how we have dealt with our own experiences with anxiety by visiting our doctors and finding a medication that works for us. Today I have a guest, Jessica Huntington, who is a long time friend of mine, a teammate on the basketball court for many years, a fellow college basketball player, a basketball coach at several levels, and a teacher.  Jessica shares her experience with anxiety and how therapy and different techniques have helped her deal with it...

Your Body, Your Choice. That's The Way It Should Be.

August 10, 2021 22:15 - 17 minutes - 11.8 MB

Following WA States governors mandate on 8/9/21 that WA State residents in certain fields will be required to get the COVID vaccine, I'm speaking out on behalf of ALL WA State residents.  I am not a political person in the slightest bit, but a person in a position of power should NOT be able to tell us what we HAVE to do with OUR bodies.  Period. Your Body, Your Choice.  

Anxiety From 2 Different Women’s Views

August 03, 2021 07:00 - 48 minutes - 33.2 MB

Today I have guest, Jennifer Brown, who is a wife, a mom of 3 & a business owner. As a person who was there during the Las Vegas shooting at Mandalay Bay in 2017, she shares her experience with the anxiety she struggles with. I also share my experience with anxiety/depression from a totally different view. Girlfriend, just know that if you feel off, you’re not alone. And there is no shame in getting help, whether it is medication, counseling, or whatever it may be.

Stuck Between ‘I Need To Save Money’ and ‘YOLO’

July 27, 2021 07:00 - 15 minutes - 10.6 MB

Girlfriend, if you are financially stressed the F out, you are NOT alone. Life is hard and the cost of living it can be even harder. There is a fine line between “I need to save money” and “you only live once”, and I for one am always crossing back and forth over it.

You Do You, Boo!” (I hate that saying, but …)

July 20, 2021 20:31 - 13 minutes - 9.52 MB

We all know we only get one shot here, so whatever it is that you want to do or whatever it is that is on your heart, girlfriend - DO THE DAMN THING. I literally cringe at the saying “You do you, boo!”, but SERIOUSLY! Whether it’s putting the house cleaning on hold and taking time with the family or a career change or a business you want to start or a vacation you want to take - we only have one shot, so MAKE. IT. HAPPEN. And when you do, post it to your stories and tag @onegirl_toanothe...

Don’t Half Ass Stuff, Girl! Always Use Your Full Ass!

July 13, 2021 07:00 - 17 minutes - 12.1 MB

Today’s episode is inspired by being in a bitchy mood because Aunt Flow is due to make her appearance any second and I was extra annoyed by my husbands half assed efforts in some things around the house, and then caught myself simultaneously half assing my workout.    Why do we half ass things? Girlfriend, let’s decide to always give all things - random acts, our work, our relationships, etc. - an honest effort to use our FULL ass!

Let’s Start Talking To Ourselves Like We Talk To Our Besties

July 06, 2021 23:45 - 17 minutes - 12.3 MB

The last few mornings, I’ve caught myself saying terrible things in my head about different aspects of myself.  And, just as I was telling myself how fat I look or how ugly the blemish is on my face that won’t go away, I imagined saying that to one of my besties, or my mom, or my sister, or my kids. And let me tell you, it didn’t feel good.    Girlfriend, we need to reframe the way we talk to ourselves. We have to be our own best cheerleader, and we can’t do that by tearing ourselves apa...

“Balance” Is Bullshit 

June 29, 2021 07:00 - 17 minutes - 12 MB

Girlfriend, with all we have going on in our lives, the term “balance” is quite literally BULLSHIT. Between work life, home life, family, friends, any side hustle, ALL of things - how are we supposed to find “balance”?    I’m starting with saying “no” to things that don’t align with my goals and saying “no” to eating more than I need to be full and that drink (or 3) that I think I need to wind down for the day.    What are you doing?    Follow @onegirl_toanother on Instagram or @...

Girls Poop Too!

June 22, 2021 07:00 - 20 minutes - 14.3 MB

Today’s episode is all about things that seem more socially acceptable for guys to do than girls. From the outlook on “dad bods” compared to “mom bods” to the bodily function that we ALL have - pooping.    Why is it that guys get away with these things as funny or normal, but it’s not funny and gross for us girls?    Girlfriend, I say rock your “mom bod”, poop when and where you need to, and embrace everything in between!

Fulfilling Hallie’s 7th Birthday Wish - Be On Mommy’s Podcast

June 15, 2021 07:00 - 13 minutes - 9.4 MB

Our little miss Hallie Lou asked for the normal toys a 7 year old would ask for their birthday. But she also asked to be on Mommy’s podcast. So here we are with a Q&A starring none other than the fresh 7 year old, Hallie Lou Nadine Ainsworth. 

Our 8th Wedding Anniversary Q&A

June 08, 2021 07:00 - 23 minutes - 16.4 MB

I posted on social media for any and all questions directed to Chase and/or I to answer about relationship, marriage, or anything.   Here we are with an episode releasing on our 8th wedding anniversary answering those questions.    Through all of the highs & all of the lows - you’re the tech dude to OGTA, the father to my kids, the pain in my ass, the one who can make me laugh the hardest, and the love of my life.    Happy 8th Anniversary babe ❤️

Covid Shot. No Covid Shot. Tequila Shot.

June 01, 2021 07:00 - 10 minutes - 7.16 MB

Today's topic is somewhat controversial because it is about whether or not to get the Covid shot.  In my opinion, YOU DO YOU!  There is no right or wrong answer, there is only the right answer for YOU and YOUR family.  So let's refrain from questioning people if they've been vaccinated, judging them for their decision, and just love people for what they are. HUMAN.  Disclaimer - I sell wine shippers and clothes for a living and I'm a podcaster.  I am in no way, shape or form an expert on...

Give “Her” A Compliment

May 25, 2021 07:00 - 9 minutes - 6.89 MB

This episode is a reminder that we don’t know what is going on behind the scenes in a girl’s seemingly perfect world, so a simple compliment can go a long way. And even if their life is as picture perfect as her social media highlight reel makes it look, give her a compliment anyway. Make it a habit to give compliments to those girls that inspire you, those girls that you love, maybe even those girls that you don’t even know but passed by in the store and she had cute shoes on or a rad hairs...

Girlfriend, Don't Compare Yourself To "Her"

May 18, 2021 07:00 - 14 minutes - 9.74 MB

I've been told by other girls that I have an "I don't give a fuck" attitude and they wish they could be more like that. I've been told by other girls that they are jealous of where I'm at with different aspects of my life. I've also been the girl that has wished I was more like "her" - her personality, her lifestyle, her success, etc. But girlfriend, we can't look at another girl's seemingly perfect life from the outside and assume it is better than ours. We all have our shit behind th...

Our Shit Show Of A Mini Family Vacation - with guest Chase Ainsworth

May 11, 2021 16:25 - 45 minutes - 31.3 MB

A quick getaway with the family for my brother’s wedding and a little bit of spare time between wedding festivities for some fun with our kids, turned into a shit show of a vacation. But, nonetheless, we powered through, made the very most of it, and all we can say is “C’est La Vie”!  We are already laughing at the events that had me in tears Thursday evening.    Have you had a shit show of a vacation? Share it with us to be featured on our stories @onegirl_toanother on Instagram and @On...

You Are A Great Mom

May 04, 2021 07:00 - 12 minutes - 8.69 MB

In honor of Mother’s Day this upcoming Sunday, I wanted to be sure that you know what a great mom and human you are. There is no such thing as “Super Mom”, but damn sometimes it feels like we own that title, right?!    In this episode I read an open letter written by Nicole Smith from the East Valley Moms website. You can find the letter here ::: https://eastvalley.momcollective.com/a-letter-to-my-best-friend-you-are-a-great-mom/   To all of my fellow mamas, whether you’re raising hu...

Can I Get An Amen?!

April 27, 2021 07:00 - 14 minutes - 10.2 MB

Today’s episode was inspired by a Pinterest board of mine that I created quite some time ago titled, “Can I Get An Amen?”    From calorie refunds on food that didn’t taste that good to all of the questions and needs the kids have for the mom and pretty much the only thing they ask dad for is “where is mom?”    Every single point will have you either thinking or yelling “AMEN!”

Girlfriend, Just Own It!

April 20, 2021 07:00 - 14 minutes - 9.98 MB

Girlfriend, you better buckle up for this episode because I get super real and fired up talking about owning what you do or maybe what you don't do. We talk about owning everything from the bright ass red lipstick you reluctantly wore to owning up to your fuck ups.    And when you do own something in your day, whether it is the lipstick or admitting you messed up, post it on your social media and tag us!    Instagram @onegirl_toanother Facebook @One Girl To Another
