As a woman navigating modern life, I find myself torn between two worlds. On one hand, I embrace traditional values: marriage, motherhood, and homemaking. Yet, I also recognize the importance of feminism and the pursuit of equality. Ultimately, I believe in a woman's right to decide, and navigate, her own path.
The "tradwife movement," while appealing to some, raises concerns about potential limitations and societal pressures. Ultimately, the goal should be to create a society where women are empowered and valued for their contributions, regardless of their chosen path.

In this episode, we dive into the U.S. Surgeon General’s recent advisory on the mounting stress facing parents today, highlighting how mental health challenges in caregivers impact both parents and their children. With 33% of parents reporting high stress compared to 20% of non-parents, it's clear that the pressures of modern life—raising kids in a fast-paced, tech-driven world, and dealing with financial and safety concerns—are taking their toll. I want to emphasize that stress isn’t a personal failing, but a reflection of real-life challenges. I'm sharing practical steps to manage your stress, nurture your well-being, and support your family, with tips you can incorporate into your daily life.

In this episode, I share a particularly tough Monday where a series of small, frustrating events made me feel overwhelmed and ready to run away. From toddlers making messes to kids having meltdowns, I experienced it all. I then had a moment of clarity that helped me find peace in the chaos – realizing 'this is the job.'
It's about accepting the responsibilities and challenges that come with being a parent and leaning into them with a positive mindset. I hope my story and the lessons I've learned inspire you to embrace your own challenges with resilience and dedication.

This story is a bit vulnerable, but the lesson I learned felt important enough to share. If you've been a listener for a little while you're likely familiar with all of the work I've done over the years to detach my identity from my physical appearance, so that's what makes what I'm sharing that much weirder.
My experience was a total eye-opener that confidence is a mindset, NOT a number. I realized that how I feel about myself has way more to do with my attitude than my weight. And let me tell you, it's been a game-changer. I hope this serves as a refreshing reminder to you, because I know I needed it, too.

In today's conversation with Julie Rose, we delved into her journey as a radio journalist and podcast host, discussing how she tackles challenging topics and leans into uncomfortable conversations. Julie shared valuable strategies on how to approach discussions around contentious issues with curiosity and empathy, rather than resorting to debates or trying to persuade.
We explored the importance of setting intentions, maintaining emotional awareness, and focusing on understanding the person rather than winning an argument. Julie also provided practical tips for initiating and navigating these conversations in a way that builds deeper relationships and mutual understanding. This episode is packed with actionable advice for anyone looking to improve their communication skills, especially in difficult or sensitive conversations.
The last time Julie and I chatted!

This is my second year of having my garden, and I've been struggling with this morning glory infestation that I thought I had under control at the end of last year. It's like no matter what I do, it just keeps coming back. It's a constant battle, and it's got me thinking about how similar it is to our struggle with self-care.
Sometimes, we neglect our own needs, thinking we can push through. But just like the morning glory, those neglected needs can eventually overwhelm us. It's a reminder that self-care isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. Even small steps, like taking a few minutes for yourself each day, can make a big difference.
