"You were two before, and now, you are three. And yes, you wanted to become three, but that still doesn’t mean that you aren’t grieving the loss of when you were just two. This is completely normal and many couples don’t allow themselves the space to go through this transition and acknowledge both the complex emotions that accompany it, as well as the very real changes that happen to the relationship." Sally Maxwell, Max-Well Coaching
Join me for a gripping interview with my friend Sally Maxwell, a relationship coach here in Aspen, Colorado, as we dive into her experience welcoming her second newborn with her husband and what she knows about making marriage work in especially stressful times.

Whether you identify as religious or not, there's little room for doubt that many of us millennial parents were heavily influenced by religious philosophy in our youth and continue to question it in our adulthood. While it's a straighforward commandment on its face, "Honor Thy Mother and Father" can be complicated if your relationship with your parents was strained, challenging, or abusive. In this very special episode of Look Ma' No Hands, I'm sitting down with my very own Rabbi, Rabbi Mendel Mintz, to ask about the sixth commandment, the future of human beings in the face of AI, and why free speech is so important.

It's human nature to want what we can't have, but what if the influences around you actually make you think want things you don't actually want? This is a phenomenon called mimetic desire, and in his book "Wanting", Luke Burgis explores how mimetic desire can lead us down an unfulfilling path and also help us curate a life that genuinely brings us joy.

When it comes to relationships and marriages, kids are a total game changer. Often times, the advice we get about connecting and reconnecting with our partner or spouse once our children are born is unattainable or impractical, but in this episode, psychologist Dr. Elizabeth Miller is sharing practical, real-life and every day ways to strengthen your relationship with kids in tow.

I had no idea what an "integrity child" was versus a "harmony child" when I first sat down to interview Blimie Heller, but once she started telling me about what each one was and what their differences are, my mind was blown. I can say with confidence that this episode changed the way I look at and parent my children on a daily basis, and so much of what I've learned from Blimie has made me a better mother and a happier person. I know you'll love what she has to say on this very illuminating episode of Look Ma' No Hands.

Today’s episode is a fun solo Q&A in which I answer some of my most-asked questions around moving to a new city, making new friends and settling into a 5000-person town after life in Houston, Texas.
I’m also addressing instagram fatigue (I’m feeling it, are you?), getting present and focusing less on what it all looks like, what I wish I did differently when we packed up our stuff to move here and my totally upside-down skincare routine.

In today's episode of LMNH, I'm interviewing the realtor who sold us our home in Basalt, Colorodo - Lisa Hatem! I am totally fascinated by the way the pandemic has changed where families (and individuals) want to live and what those changes have meant for real estate throughout the country, and Lisa weighs in on why families are choosing the great outdoorsm what her last year has been like and how long these changes might be sticking around for.
