Today we’re talking about what to look for in a best friend and how to stay close to your best friends once you’ve found them. And there’s no better person for me to talk about this with than my very best friend in the whole world, Michelle Windhausen.  I cannot believe this, but Michelle and I have been friends for over 2...

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! I’m so excited about today’s episode because my very dear friend, and Girls Night Favorite, Mariko Clark, is back on the show! (I call her Marri, but we’ll talk about that in the episode!) Today we’re talking about how to make a new city feel like home!  Marri has made a few big moves in the past handful of years, so she knows all about the process and what go...

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! I’m so excited about today’s episode. Today we’re talking about renovations and real estate and how to get started renovating your house without totally destroying it in the process! I’m excited about this episode because over the past several years I’ve fallen in love with all things interior design! While I’m not perfect at it, I’ve gotten way better, and I...

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! I’m so excited about today’s episode. Today we’re talking about how to know when it’s time to quit your job and how to find a better one.  I’m excited about this episode because while I know some of us have jobs we love, that’s just not the case for all of us. And if you have a job that you don’t necessarily love (or that you totally hate), what do you do? Sho...

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! I’m so excited about today’s episode. Backing up a little bit… Before Carl and I had kids, one of the most common things people would say to us is, “Travel now before you have kids, because once you have them, you won’t be able to!”  The first time I heard that, I sort of brushed it off. Travel was (and IS!) such a huge, important part of my life, surely that...

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! I’m so excited about today’s episode. Today we’re talking about how to create your own family culture — what that means, why it’s so important, and then how to practically do it! To be honest, this is something I’ve thought about a lot since becoming a mom, but it’s also something I thought about even before having kids!  If you’re anything like me, you’ve had...

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! So friends, since the holiday season is officially here, I wanted to revisit one of my all time favorite Girls Night episodes. It’s a conversation I had a few years back with Carl’s mom, and my amazing mother-in-law, the one and only Kathy Wilson.  As we speak, I’m just now getting back from a beautiful family Thanksgiving celebration that Kathy put together f...

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! Today’s episode is a hard one, but a really, really important one. Today we’re talking about what to do if you or someone you love is having suicidal thoughts. We’re also talking about how to heal and move forward after a tragedy.  You guys know I’m all about mental health — I want to talk about it as often as possible. But you may not know that I’ve lost seve...

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! I’m so excited about today’s episode. Today we’re talking about how to learn what your feelings are trying to teach you.  I love this episode because if you’re anything like me, you experience a lot of feelings in any given moment, and you’re not always sure what to do with them. For a lot of us, we feel totally overwhelmed by our feelings — our feelings run t...

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! I’m so excited about today’s conversation. Today we’re re-sharing a conversation I had a few years ago with my dear friend, Caroline Schandel. If this is your first time meeting her, Caroline is a brilliant writer, speaker, and Bible teacher. She’s a woman I’ve looked up to for years — she’s taught me so much about who God is and about who I am because of who...

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! As I mentioned in last week’s episode, we’re kicking off this season by sharing a few of our favorite past episodes having to do with singleness, dating, and relationships. Today we’re sharing the conversation I had with my sweet friend, Jena Dunay, in episode number 75. At that time, she was Jena Viviano, but, a little spoiler alert, she ended up marrying the...

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! I’m so excited to be back for Season 16 of the Girls Night podcast — and to kick off this season we’re doing something a little different.

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! Friends, I can’t believe it, but today is our last episode of Season 15! To wrap up this season, we’re talking about a really important topic and that’s how to deal with mean girls and friend drama as an adult.  I wanted to have this conversation because I’m such a believer that as friends, we can be the best thing to happen to each other. In so many ways, I a...

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! I’m so excited about today’s episode. Today we’re talking about the Enneagram and how it can help us grow in our relationships.  I shared about the Enneagram way back in episode number seventeen of the podcast and chances are you’ve heard about the Enneagram before, but if you’re not super familiar or need a refresher, it’s a personality assessment that helps...

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! So, I was at an event recently when someone asked me what Girls Night is all about. I told them that here on the show we talk about anything and everything that you’d actually talk about with your real life best friends at a real life girls night. That pretty much covers it, right?  Well, one of the things my friends and I spend a lot of time talking about is...

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! I’m so excited for today’s episode. Today we’re talking about boundaries: How to set them, how to keep them, and why they’re so truly life-changing.  If you’ve been a Girls Night listener for a while now, this isn’t the first time you’re hearing me talk about boundaries. And it’s because this has been a HUGE lesson for me. I am historically bad at knowing what...
