Giddy Up

Oh, this episode was SO much fun! When Kerri and I planned our night to go see the Barbie movie...all of the 90's/nostalgia came up and we just HAD to record about it. 🤩 Listen to hear more about Kerri's "Miss Kitty Glitters" robe and us reminiscing on good ole' computer games-you know, CD ROMs. Mal's Intergallactic Space Barbie Outfit- follow @twigboutiquetn on Instagram! Kerri's Cutie Bow Rompe...

Join Andrew and I as we recap our trip to Chattanooga! We had such a great time and enjoyed reliving it again as we argued over what order we went where and also getting caught up on whether or not we had pita bread or kettle chips..... 😆 We then move on to straight LIFE advice from Andrew. He tells us how his priorities have changed as he's gotten older and he justifies his Lulu purchases. (Plea...

What upppp? Basically, Kerri and I sat down and caught up with one another...and we recorded it! I gave Cash and Skip updates, Kerri gave some beach recommendations, and we even talked about future guests. We shared some "what are we reading and what are we watching," and what ended up being a lot about meal prep, the blackstone, and healthy recipes! I hope you enjoy this conversation. Thank you f...

Kerri and I had SO much fun chatting with Khelsi Stone from Harris County, Georgia. We took time to get to know Khelsi and highlight her latest adventure on the dating show, Farmer Wants a Wife. Khelsi loves love and describes herself as someone who has always been a hopeless romantic. Even BEFORE social media days (hard to remember, huh)?! she sent in a DVD to be on the cast of the Bachelor! The...

HEYYYYY! I'm so excited to be back...with Kerri! 🤩 I totally didn't realize we've not recorded together since JUNE. 😳 Time seriously just flies by so fast. Like, I had just found out I was pregnant in June and now here we are today with the birth story of my sweet Skippy. 💙 Follow the bouncing ball. Kerri claims I told the story in relatively sequential order, but with the "newborn fog" I’m sti...

Welcome BACK to the Giddy Up podcast! 🤠 I’ve missed recording. I apologize for the background noise of me and the mic, I was recording from bed...haha. 🤪 Episode 19-starring: me, alone-I'm sorry. haha but it felt good just to get back in the headspace of recording! Let's be real, I could talk to a brick wall, so thank you for being my brick wall of sorts. 😘 Busy-ness...it's caught up with us al...

hey, hey! 👋🏼 I'm happy to be back with another new episode this week. I sat down with Nichole Nace, owner of Elia Day Spa in Columbia, TN. We discussed how she got here from Pennsylvania, spa etiquette, and she answered YOUR questions you submitted.  Elia has come a looooong way, from a one person show (Nichole,) to a staff of 16 and a washer and dryer ON SITE. 🙌🏼You have to listen to realize...

On this week's episode, I finally got to sit down and record with my friend, Lucy McEwen! Lucy is a Columbia native, store owner, wife, and mother of four. For as long as I can remember, she's just made me feel "at home" in Columbia, and it's people like her that make me love this community so much. Lucy is WISE. We talk about the importance of being adaptable and the power in letting people help...

This week we get Andrew’s take on “newborn necessities.” We talk baby names and diaper genies. If you aren’t here for the baby babble, FF to ab 40ish min. We switch gears to talking ab control, access to technology, and our opinions on sharing our location. Thanks for listening! 🤠 Mal

This week I sat down with a personal friend of mine, Taylor Hunter. Taylor is a photographer, turned boutique owner, turned hat bar engineer (that's totally my made up description of what's probably more like, "hat maker" "hat stylist" or something)! I am so proud of all that she has done, and I'm exceptionally giddy about this hat bar that is just taking off! Taylor is the owner of Parks & Price,...

This episode was fun to record! We talked about our highest of highs and our lowest of lows as a couple. I share that therapy, Jesus, and a lot of self work has gotten me here. Andrew admits some of his own faults...such as letting a construction worker USE MY BATHROOM. 😤 My home...my sanctuary, my germ free zone.  We discuss the realization of how you can't change someone else, you should always...

It's been a minute!  In this week's episode we talk a lot about what we've been watching-LOTS of reality tv, surprise surprise! 😉 We discuss this new lifestyle of living without cable and how we are still navigating figuring out all the apps. #weold I didn't realize how passionate I am about people understanding the value of a dollar until listening back to several things I said on this episode....

This week Kerri and I discuss our 4th of July plans, participation trophies, and Snowflake Mountain. Buckle up! We’re a tad bit all over the place, but I think you can follow. 😅🤪 Reading reviews is my MOST fav. Thank y’all for being here! -Mal

This week I asked what topics y'all would be excited to hear about, and mental health was the number one pick. I am very passionate about MY mental health and mental health in general. I became "aware" of my mental health about 10 years ago when I was 23 years old. Lots has transpired since then and I've learned so much. I hope this candid conversation can be helpful to others and if there's more...

So sorry for the delay, summer's got me a little "lax" on my schedule! 🤪  This week, I got to sit down and catch up with Kerri, which was nice because we've both been so busy! We give some reading/watching/listening recommendations, discuss some good amazon purchases, and I OUT Andrew on his latest LuLu Lemon obsession. 😆 OH, and Kerri helps us navigate our public library as we both express...

Hey, hey I'm back! 😎 This week I'm riding solo...I wanted to check in and share my thoughts on a few May "happenings" for the Costa's. We talk organized sports at a young age, Kindergarten readiness, summer resources to keep these wild children entertained, and our anniversary trip to Monteagle, TN. Enjoy me talking to me. 🤪 I pledge to have more riveting content next week! 😬🙌🏼 Tenn Pinn Alle...

I've been looking forward to sitting down with today's guest, as it's been on the calendar for nearly a month! This week I had the honor of talking with Linzy Boshers. I venture to say if you're in Middle TN you've heard at least a little bit about Linzy's story. Linzy contracted COVID-19, leading to covid pneumonia in early 2022 and spent 6 weeks in the hospital and rehab. The doctors gave her a...

This week I chat with Rachel Fuller, who has dedicated her life work to helping others enjoy life and reach goals by reworking limiting beliefs. She is also a world traveler, and small business owner! I spent a lot of time wrapping my mind around her experiences in other countries....SO.MANY.COUNTRIES. We talk about how a dream written in a prayer journal came to fruition years later, the importan...

**Forewarning: This week's episode contains some language and references to drugs/jail. I recommend listening without little ears present. 😉  You are in for a RIDE with this week's episode. I decided to give y'all the entire 1 hr 40 min at once since we missed last week! (It was also easier on me to edit it this way, because I couldn't find a good "stopping" point).  I'm excited to share this con...

This week I sat down with Erica Humphrey, owner of We. Evolve Operational Design. I met Erica through the visionary workshop I've talked about several times now and instantly became intrigued with her and her life experiences thus far. She tells her story of growing, being better, and being different. I hope you enjoy cheering her on as much as I did while creating this episode. Erica Humphrey: @h...

This week I sat down with Tyler Steigleman, someone who played an instrumental part in me actually doing this podcast thing. Andrew and I met him as our bartender at Tre, and now he's grown to be an inspiration to me. Tyler is wise beyond his years and destined to do big things in our community. There's no way you won't feel encouraged after hearing this conversation. Tyler is launching a video po...

This episode I invited/forced Andrew to join me. I'm still working on building my confidence with the equipment and the overall process of recording, so please bear with me. We took advantage of Cash being at my parents and recorded this episode at what we would refer to as "middle of the night"...HA.  Truth is, Andrew is the primary person who pushed me to do this podcast thing. He's support...

Still getting my feet wet...I'm somewhere between sitting on the side with my legs dangling in the water and maybe even possibly standing on the steps in the shallow end of the pool! I had my best friend Kerri join me for this episode. I have been so blessed by our friendship. She is my hype girl, my constant, and she laughs at things I say...which I love. We shared some of our current favorite th...

EEEEK! The time has come...well, has it? haha. Idk, we shall see! I've been praying over this "idea" for a while now and it won't go away so this is me pursuing something creative, something on the fly..and I'm smiling! Sweating and smiling simultaneously.
