The end of the year is a time of reflection for us.
We get a chance to look back at what we accomplished in the previous year, and to start to plan ahead for what's to come.
On today's podcast, we are sharing our own personal "Peaks and Valleys" from 2019.
You'll hear about the successes we had in business and life, the specific things that we struggled with, and what we have in store for the year ahead.
We know the holidays can be a difficult time of year for people, so this week we've decided to revisit an episode we recorded last year about stress.
In particular, we're talking about how stress can make you feel overwhelmed. When your stress levels build up, everything in life can just feel like too much.
On today's podcast, you'll hear the kinds of things that overwhelm us and cause stress in our everyday lives. You'll also hear some tactics and strategies for how we tackle those overwhelming feelings.
This week's episode is all about one of our favorite holidays: Christmas.
On today's show, we are offering a glimpse into our own family traditions, as well as sharing some specific insights into how we celebrate the holiday.
We'll be taking a chronological look at our holiday plans, which include tips for decorating the home, our holiday meal menus, gift shopping strategies, how we celebrate on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and a whole lot more.
*Note to parents: We do talk about Santa and Elf on a Shelf in this episode... so you may want to avoid listening with little ears around!
If you can't tell from the name of this podcast, our home is incredibly important to us.
It's no surprise then that the guests on today's podcast had a huge impact on our lives, as they quite literally helped us build our home.
Brendan and Jillian Bader are the founders of Modern Nest, a company that designs and builds "timeless homes for the modern family".
Jillian and Brendan join us today to talk about why they love to build homes, their startup story, marriage, spirituality, taking chances, and they even share some design tips as well.
We recently reached out to some of our followers on Instagram and asked them if they had any questions for us.
On today's podcast, Russ and Mika are answering those questions, and no topics are off-limits.
You'll hear candid discussions about marriage, parenting, entrepreneurship, arguments, trust, family, fashion, setting boundaries, workout routines, and more.
We've all found ourselves in a rut at some point in our lives.
It's easy to get burned out by the stress of our everyday routines, and it's hard to know what to do when this happens.
On today's podcast, we are sharing specific strategies for how you can get yourself out of a rut, how to address some of the root stressors that might be causing it, and how you can stay motivated to avoid feeling the same way in the future.
We're very excited to share a conversation with one of our favorite content creators and entrepreneurs on today's podcast.
Valerie Woerner is the founder of Val Marie Paper, a company that is dedicated to supporting women in their prayer life and their motherhood with dedicated prayer journals.
She is also the author of the fantastic book "Grumpy Mom Takes a Holiday".
Valerie joins us this week to talk about the origins of her business, the challenges of motherhood, the problem with perfection, and much, much, more.
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you could go back in time?
Hindsight is always 20/20, but it's safe to say that there are several things we all wish we could have heard at an earlier point in our lives.
On today's podcast, Russ and Mika are sharing several specific pieces of advice that they wish they could give to their 20-year-old selves.
You'll hear thoughts about health, finance, sobriety, travel, and a whole lot more.
You might recall that Dr. Jillian Smithers joined us on this podcast a few months ago to talk about her history with naturopathic medicine.
We've invited her back on to the show this week to talk about how naturopathic medicine can help women with their health.
We also speak about some of the everyday questions that women have about topics like hormonal imbalances, adrenal fatigue, thyroid health, brain fog, and a whole lot more.
Today's episode is about pizza, but it isn't just about pizza.
Every Friday night, Russ and Mika have a family pizza night with their kids.
This Friday pizza night has become a family tradition, and it is an important part of their lives.
This week's podcast is all about these types of traditions, why they are important, and how you can create your own family traditions.
