Our need to belong and “fit in”  is primal. When we're seeking to fit in, we shape shift, and we perform. We do it because we're afraid, and usually for good reason, love has been withheld from us. We change who we are into who we think that group wants instead of learning to be our authentic true selves. We wear masks. In today’s episode Edie and Emme discuss what it means to truly belong and cre...

Tom and started out fall break with a bang. And by bang, I mean a 3 mile cold, rainy trail ride with two horses named Iowa and Louisiana in the Smoky Mountains.   It felt right and epic and by the time we finished, I was soaked to the core and shivering. Not exactly what the doctor ordered for me, given my complicated sinus infection that won't seem to totally go away. But we mamas do what we need...
