We’ve Missed Our Own Advice
October 17, 2022 14:00 - 40 minutes - 56.1 MBFor the past 8+ years, we have poured all of our energy into starting starting and building a business on the backbone of our passion to live kind lives and spread kindness wherever we can.

And we are goi...

When Pigs Fly
September 17, 2021 09:02 - 50 minutes - 69.9 MBThe concept for this design was born when we knew we wanted to make a shirt about #neversaynever, but we knew we needed something to make it "fly". We all know that pigs don't have wings, but that doesn't mean we can't aid their flying efforts, right? This little brainstorm lent itself to the topic and so after lots of scribbles and back and forths, our sweet little pig hoisted by a balloon was born! NEVER SAY NEVER, friends! Tune in for more pig-spiration and tips on how to adopt this as y...

This time around, her fan club is being led by her husband and their tw...
A Little Heart To Heart
June 09, 2021 09:41 - 58 minutes - 80.1 MBWhen we make assumptions, we tell ourselves that something is true without any real evidence that it is. Is making a guess about someone or something worth the risk that we may be wrong? Is it worth ruining a friendship over? When we begin to make assumptions about how other people think or feel, we automatically eliminate what might have been a good conversation where we learn another viewpoint and come to an understanding. Let's try to make fewer assumptions, shall we? And if we can't see...
To Fear or Not To Fear
June 02, 2021 10:47 - 53 minutes - 73.9 MBOn one hand, fear holds us back from doing so many things that we really want to do.

In My Wildest Dreams - Amanda Townsend
March 10, 2021 09:05 - 1 hour - 110 MBLike many women, Amanda had dreams about her future ever since she was a little girl. She dreamed that she would follow her passions, marry a wonderful man, and be an amazing mom. Alas, her story "isn't all sunshine and glitter," and sadly, it is relatable to many women and couples who experience difficulties getting pregnant/infertility. Receiving a diagnosis of endometriosis changed the course of some of Amanda's hopes and dreams and made the road to becoming a mother nearly impossible, bu...

Bridge the Gap
October 21, 2020 09:38 - 48 minutes - 67.1 MBWe all want peace and harmony. But the thing is…. EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT. Which we think is the coolest thing about HUMANITY.

So what that leaves us with is all these different people from all walks of life all over the world, and a gap of hot lava in the middle. Metaphorically, of ...

We Don't Have To Agree On Anything To Be Kind To One Another
September 30, 2020 09:30 - 55 minutes - 76.4 MBOn today's episode of You Fit Here we talk about how much we have learned to love learning. We believe it is our duty to share what we have learned and use this platform as an opportunity to do so. Things in the world today are really really heavy: A lot of us are being weighed down with new information, old information that's new to us, and many of us are learning enough to know that we are growing and changing. But that doesn't mean that we can't be kind to those who don't share our same t...
