Hermit Haven

We've been working on something special, and we're finally getting to share it with you! The Next Version is our new 8-week life reset guide, created to help you slow down, reflect on where you are, get clear on what you want, and start taking small steps toward the life you're creating. This isn't about completely changing who you are or having everything figured out. It's about making a little r...

What if we stopped talking ourselves out of our dreams before we even gave them a chance? After celebrating 100 episodes of Hermit Haven, we're officially entering our delulu era! 😂 We're looking back at the dream we started without knowing where it would lead and chatting about what it means to believe in something before you have all the proof that it's going to work out. We're talking about th...

It's time to get cozy, pull out the Halloween movies, and embrace one of our favorite times of year! 🍂🕸️ This week, we're having a little mom chat about all things spooky season. We're talking about the cute-spooky movies we love, from Casper to Hocus Pocus, the nostalgia that comes with revisiting our Halloween favorites, and all the little things that make this season feel so special. And being...

ONE HUNDRED EPISODES!!! We seriously can't believe we're here. 🥹 To celebrate, we wanted to do something a little different and share some joy with the people who have made this little corner of the internet so special: you! We've created a free, spooky-cute scrapbook-style collection called 100 Ways to Make Life Magical Before 2027, filled with little activities and ideas to help you bring more...

We all have dreams. Some are big and sparkly. Some are quiet little dreams we’ve barely told anyone about. And some start as nothing more than a tiny thought: Wouldn’t it be cool if…? But dreaming is only the beginning. At some point, you have to start showing up for the dream. And then you have to keep showing up. Not perfectly. Not without getting distracted. Not without changing your plan. Just...

What if you said yes without knowing exactly how it would work out? It’s so easy to want a guarantee before we begin. We want to know that the job will work out, the idea will succeed, the relationship will last, the dream will happen, or the effort will be worth it. But we can’t control the outcome. We can control how we show up, how much effort we put in, what we learn, how we respond when thing...

What if we stopped rushing toward the next thing long enough to actually notice the life we're living right now? It’s so easy to spend our days thinking about what’s coming next. Getting through this week. Getting to the next season. Reaching the next goal. Waiting for things to calm down. And sometimes we don’t realize how much of our lives we’re experiencing while we’re busy waiting for the next...

What if magic is a little closer than we think? Sometimes it’s not a big adventure or a perfectly planned moment. Sometimes it’s the tiny things that make an ordinary day feel a little more special — a favorite outfit, a personalized touch, something colorful, a little reminder on your desk, or simply doing something because it makes you happy. That’s where whimsy comes in. 🤍 Whimsy is about lett...

Do you ever see something from your childhood and immediately feel like you’ve been transported back in time? 🥹 A movie you watched a hundred times. A hobby you completely forgot about. The characters you loved, the things you collected, the little pieces of life that somehow still have the power to make you smile. There are some things we never really outgrow. And honestly, we're kind of here fo...

Some seasons are naturally busy. There are birthdays and holidays, school events and family plans, work and errands and all the little things that seem to multiply when life gets full. But somewhere along the way, busy started feeling like something we were supposed to be proud of. This episode is a little reminder that a full calendar doesn't automatically mean a full life. 🤍 Busy Isn't a Badge...

There’s something comforting about a new week. Even when the last one was messy, busy, or didn't go quite how we wanted, there’s always that little feeling of “okay… let's try again.” In this episode, we're talking about the weekly reset rituals that help us feel a little more prepared for whatever the week decides to throw at us. 😂 A reset doesn't mean fixing your life or suddenly becoming the m...

There are some things you remember from childhood that you couldn't tell someone how much they cost, what year they happened, or even why they were such a big deal. You just remember them. Maybe it was a certain meal your family made every year. A place you went together. The way your house smelled on Christmas morning. A Friday night tradition that seemed completely normal at the time but somehow...

What if the life you're wishing for is actually the life you once dreamed about? It's so easy to spend our days looking ahead. Waiting for the next milestone, the next vacation, the next season, or the next version of ourselves. We tell ourselves we'll slow down when life gets less busy, we'll enjoy it more when things settle down, or we'll finally appreciate it once we get "there." But what if th...

Okay, okay... we know it's August. 😂 But have you seen Disney?! The fall decorations are out, the pumpkins are making their grand entrance, and honestly, if Disney says it's time for fall, who are we to argue? 🎃🍂 So we're getting a little ahead of ourselves, but we're officially ready for cozy sweaters, cute spooky things, crisp mornings, candles, and all the little traditions that make this se...

Have you ever looked around one day and realized life doesn't feel quite the same anymore? Maybe the mornings are a little quieter now. Or maybe they're louder than they've ever been. The routines that used to fit don't quite work anymore, and the version of you that stepped into this season isn't the same one who's standing here today. Change has a funny way of sneaking up on us. One day you're p...

Some days have a way of pulling your attention toward everything that's going wrong. The coffee spills before you've had a sip. The to-do list somehow gets longer instead of shorter. Plans change. Someone says something that sticks with you all day. Before you know it, one frustrating moment has quietly convinced you that the whole day is ruined. We've both been there. In this week's episode, we'r...

When was the last time you felt like you were fully in your day instead of just trying to get through it? Lately, we've both been craving a slower pace. Not because we want to do less or dream smaller, but because we realized we were spending so much time rushing through life that we weren't fully experiencing it. In this week's episode, we're talking about what slower living has been teaching us....

Have you ever caught yourself thinking... "I'll do it when I feel more confident." "I'll start when I'm more organized." "I'll post it when it's better." We've both been there more times than we can count. This week's conversation is about something we've been learning lately: perfection has a funny way of convincing us we're being responsible, when really it's just keeping us stuck. We talk about...

Some of our favorite moments lately have been the ones that probably don't look all that exciting from the outside. Slow summer mornings. Packing snacks before heading out the door. Trying to answer emails while someone needs a hug. Getting out of the house with a toddler. Watching our boys play. Folding laundry while dreaming about what's next. Finding little pockets of time to work on the podcas...

What does it actually look like to show up for yourself? Not in a perfect way. Not in a "completely transform your life overnight" way. Just in the real-life, everyday moments that slowly shape who you're becoming. In this week's episode, we're sharing some of the things we're currently working on in ourselves—from mindset shifts and emotional growth to habits, hobbies, routines, and the small cho...

Have you ever gone through a season of life and looked around thinking, "I don't even know who I am anymore?" Whether it's motherhood, burnout, grief, anxiety, a major life transition, or simply a season that stretched you in ways you never expected, sometimes life changes us so deeply that we feel disconnected from the person we used to be. In this week's episode, we're having an honest conversat...

Have you ever felt like there's more you want for your life, but something keeps holding you back? In this week's episode, we're talking about the comfort trap and how staying in what's familiar can sometimes keep us from growing into the person we're meant to become. Because if we're being honest, comfort feels safe. It feels predictable. It feels easier than taking a risk, trying something new,...

Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling a little off, but you couldn't quite figure out why? In this week's episode, we're talking about gossip, friendships, and the kind of conversations we want to create more of in our lives. This is one of those topics that can feel uncomfortable because if we're being honest, we've all participated in gossip at some point. It's easy to fall into,...

This week’s episode is basically a big summer catch-up with your internet besties ☀️🤍  We’re talking all about the vibes we’re bringing into this season of motherhood, the little things making life feel good lately, and what summer is realistically looking like for us right now as busy moms. From slower mornings and pool days to family routines, summer plans, trying to romanticize everyday life a...

Have you ever been upset with someone… and they had absolutely no idea why? 😅 This week, we’re talking all about expectations, disappointment, communication, and the quiet resentment that can build when we expect people to show up in ways we never actually communicated. Because if we’re being honest, so many of us do this. We assume people think like us. Love like us. Show up like us. And when th...
