Ep 023: Tips for When Your Kids Are Sharing A Room Mar 19, 2018

Show notes

Our family has gone through all kinds of seasons when it comes to room sharing. From putting all the boys together to turning our master bedroom into a room shared with 4 kids … we experienced it all! Room sharing fosters closeness. And you will find joy in watching them grow closer. One of my favorite things is listening to the kids giggle every night before bed. No matter how much they bickered during the day, they come together at the end of the day for bedtime. Sure, there are some challenges with room sharing! But I hope this episode helps you get creative with those challenges. The goal is to make your life simpler and easier, and to find what works for you!

Ep 022: Working with My Husband: Lessons Learned & Q+A Mar 14, 2018

Show notes

Running a business with your spouse is like an amped up version of being married. You are together all the time. You are having business meetings together, eating 3 meals a day together, watching the kids together, planning new content together. You do all of it together. And when you are used to being on your own it is weird to, all of the sudden, be doing it together.

We are getting ready to celebrate 2 years since Brian quit his 9 to 5 job and have learned a few things. But my favorite part is that I get to run my passion project with my best friend. I don't have to "fill him in" on things because he is here doing it with me. Maybe you + your husband work together. Maybe you guys are thinking about it. Or maybe you're just curious about we do it! Whatever the reason, I hope that you find some encouragement in this episode.

Ep 021: Food, Exercise & Perfectionism (feat. Robin Long) Mar 12, 2018

Show notes

Robin Long is the founder of The Balanced Life, which started as an online platform for her to teach Pilates but has grown to much more than that. She is a well of wisdom when it comes to living in the balance of food + exercise. We often get into the mindset that "exercise equals all of these hard things, so I can't exercise" or "well, if I licked a donut, then I might as well just eat burgers, fries and a milkshake for lunch, and also have pizza for dinner, and two beers." But it doesn't have to be that way. Having exercise fit into your life is the key to actually getting something done and making progress. My goal for this episode is to get you to actually do something. Anyone can listen, get inspired, and think they are going to do that. But I really want you to do it!

Disclaimer: In this episode, we discuss some things that you may not want your kids to hear, especially if you have a little girl who might be receptive to some of the things we are discussing. I encourage you to pop those headphones in and enjoy this episode. Robin is amazing and I am so excited for you to hear what she has to share!

Surprise! Today is the very first episode of bonus episodes I will be sharing! Every rare once-in-a-while, I will put out a Bonus Episode that was just too good to wait.

Ep 020: Balance & Simplicity For the Busy Family Mar 07, 2018

Show notes

Being busy is either a badge of honor or something that is seen as really negative in our culture today. Like if you don't have a ton of whitespace on your calendar you are focused on the wrong things and you are too busy to really enjoy your life. Or some people won't even say the word busy or I hear them say they don't really like the word busy. I think that both ends of the spectrum and both views are pretty incorrect. I think there is a middle ground. The key is finding systems and rhythms that will help you in whatever place you are at and whatever season you are in. It is finding balance and simplifying your rhythms so you can enjoy the people in your home and run your life well so that it's not running you!

You know the items you have laying around taking up space, but are too sentimental to throw away? Or the boxes full of toys your kids don't play with anymore?

Ep 018: Prioritizing Sex in Your Marriage w/ Sheila Wray Gregoire Feb 28, 2018

Show notes

As busy mom's, we are in the hardest season when it comes to sex. We are exhausted majority of the time, we don't feel sexy because things are leaking, we are being pulled on all day, and if we are being honest, sex isn't our priority. We want it, but our bodies are too tired to do it. But sex isn't just going to happen if we are waiting for it to happen. It has to be something that we start looking forward to. We need to have a different attitude and tell our bodies what to feel instead of waiting for our bodies to feel something.

In this episode, I am excited to sit down with Sheila Wray Gregoire to discuss Prioritizing Sex In Your Marriage. This episode is not light + it is not for tiny ears. We are talking about a lot of adult and marriage things. So, pop your headphones in and enjoy this episode alone! Make some space for yourself and enjoy!

Ep 017: It's Okay to Change Your Mind! Feb 26, 2018

Show notes

There's this perfectionism that Pinterest and Instagram have brought into our society. And from that, there is this idea that if you change your mind, it looks like you are a mess. But, life is so crazy. Things are so stressful. Things change and flow all of the time. Seasons ebb and flow which means how you operate in those seasons sometimes changes. It is about saying "no" to what isn't working and saying "yes" to what is. Do what works for you. Pursue what your version of less and your version of joy is in this season. It's OK to change your mind!

Ep 015: Prioritizing Date Night No Matter the Season You're In (feat. Brian Casazza) Feb 19, 2018

Show notes

Although Prioritizing Date Night seems like an episode that might be helpful before Valentine's Day, I purposely waited until after because I believe date night is all of the time. It shouldn't be something that is focused on once a year. Date night is an investment. And what you choose to invest in is important. Being busy, having kids, and not being able to get away are not excuses. Choose to prioritize date night with your spouse - it is worth it!
