Hermit Haven

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...

With Mother’s Day coming up, we wanted to sit down and have a really honest conversation about something that so many women and moms are carrying, but don’t always have the words for. The emotional weight of it all. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, constantly “on,” mentally drained, or like you’re the one holding everything together behind the scenes, this episode is for you. We’re talking abou...

We celebrate birthdays. Big milestones. The obvious moments. But everything in between? The showing up, the growth, the hard days you got through… we usually just move right past it like it doesn’t count. In this episode, we’re talking about why you deserve to celebrate yourself way more than you probably do. Not just when something big happens, but in your everyday life. We get into how easy it i...

Okay wait… how are we already here?  We started this year with so much intention. We said we wanted to show up differently, be more present, and really shine our light. And then life happens… things get busy, routines shift, and suddenly we’re a few months in.  So in this episode, we’re pausing for a real, honest check-in. We’re asking ourselves the questions we don’t always stop to ask: Are we ac...

This episode is just us sitting down and catching up 🤍  We’re sharing what life looks like lately, what’s been on our minds, things we’ve been loving, and just having a real, unfiltered conversation about this season we’re in. From the little everyday moments to the bigger thoughts we’ve been working through, it’s one of those chats that feels like you’re right there with us. We talk about how li...

I think a lot of us are living in this constant mindset of “I’ll be happy when…” When things calm down. When we reach the goal. When we have more time. When life looks different than it does right now.  But what if a full, meaningful life isn’t something you find later? What if it’s something you create in the life you already have?  In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between fulf...

Do you ever feel busy all day, yet not really fulfilled? Between the kids, the house, work, and the constant pull of our phones, it’s easy to live on autopilot without even realizing it. In this episode, we’re chatting about how to take control of your time, attention, and energy, so your days feel meaningful, calm, and fully yours. Not in a “do more” way, but in a “choose what really matters” way...

In this episode, we’re talking about something we all need the reminder of > growth takes time.  It’s so easy to get discouraged when you’re showing up, doing the “right” things, and not seeing results yet. The habits feel small. The progress feels invisible. And part of you starts wondering if it’s even working. But what if this is the part that actually matters most?  We’re diving into the id...

Have you ever gone through a season where nothing is technically wrong, but everything just feels a little heavy?  The motivation isn’t there, your energy feels low, and you can tell you’re not fully feeling like yourself.

In this episode of Hermit Haven, we’re having a real, heart-to-heart conversation about what it looks like to love people when you’re not in the same chapter of life. As we grow, change, and step into new seasons, our relationships grow too — and sometimes the people we care about most aren’t in the same place we are. That doesn’t mean the connection is wrong, and it doesn’t mean anyone is behind....

In this episode of Hermit Haven, we’re talking about what it really means to have the confidence to be where you are in life — without comparing your timeline or shrinking your desire for more. After last week’s conversation about not comparing your journey to others, we’re going deeper into self-confidence, self-trust, and personal growth. How do you feel proud of your current season while still...

In this cozy but empowering episode of Hermit Haven, we’re talking about the pressure of timelines - and why feeling “behind in life” is often just comparison in disguise.  Your growth journey isn’t linea...

This bonus episode is a gentle reminder that love is the magic ✨ Not just something you feel - but something you bring into everything you do.

That moment when the motivation fades and the excitement wears off? You’re not broken - you’re just entering the part of growth that actually matters.  In this episode of Hermit Haven, we’re talking about what happens after the “new year, new me” energy disappears and real life sets in.

In this cozy, lighthearted episode, we’re inviting you to get to know us a little better 🤍  We’re sharing who we were before Hermit Haven, how this space has changed us, and the ways we’ve grown (and are still growing). From lessons we didn’t expect, to the identities we’re stepping into, to where we want to go next — this episode feels like a heart-to-heart on the couch with friends.  If you’re...

When you start a new habit or step into a new identity, it usually begins with excitement. You feel ready. Motivated. Hopeful. And then, a few days in, it suddenly feels harder than you expected. Old patterns show up. Your energy dips. And part of you wants to go back to what’s familiar.  In Episode 64 of Hermit Haven, we talk about that in-between space — the part of growth no one really warns yo...

So many of us think that if we just try harder, push through, or force discipline, we’ll finally stick to our habits and become the person we want to be. But what if the problem isn’t you? What if your life isn’t set up to support your growth?  In this episode, we talk about how your time, environment, and energy shape everything about how you show up — and why even small changes in these areas ca...
