Life in the Wylde West

This is a boring podcast about moving out, to move back in all while celebrating 28 years of marriage.

I hope I’m another year wiser! I reminisce about grandpa. Why I love egrets so much! And the possibility of a new kitten.

The “only” child with 2 sisters and 2 brothers. How does that happen? Perfectly happy in my imaginary NO actual real people world!

Small warning this episode does discuss food, weight, body image. All the things. It’s my story just my story if you feel like listening in.

I promise I’m not going to give up because how can I tell you to keep going and not keep going myself?

Medium old age, beautiful gardens and nourishing choices.

Unexpected life turns and how to keep going. Well at least my personal versions everyone has their own unique special story but sometimes by sharing we can help each other out.

It’s just me today. Talking about how I’m not digging IG as much, it’s changed as things so often do. I’m feeling old fashioned. Wanting old fashioned simple ways.

I have another guest this week. I made a road trip to see my oldest longest friend to celebrate her 50th! Listen I’m on our conversation.

We have an open honest conversation about gender identity. It’s super fun because it’s unscripted and real as it gets.

A couple things didn’t work out. The fish even died. But then the rainbows came out, the light shined the California poppies bloomed. Little curious lizard played on his tree branch and I remembered to breathe.

Feeling so much better. This episode talks about a few food adventures, feeling hopeful and much better even when the scale reads heavier than ever🙈

And soon you’ll be walking across the floor. It’s ok to be mad. It’s ok to feel overwhelmed just remember if you put one foot in front of the other you’ll get to where you want to go

Making up new cool words! Just realized this is the first episode of 2021. On my third season!!!! Thank you for everyone who listens. This is the norm. A little bit of this and that

Last episode of season two 2020. Being let down, heartbreak and heart burst all at once in the same thing.

Simple memories as Christmas

Thank you for listening, thank you for your encouragement, thank you for being exceptional humans and thank you for supporting me and the cause. I’m almost at my 500 goal to give towards helping the victims of human trafficking.

There really is something to not giving up! Process is happening and it’s something to be grateful for

Today I practiced saying no and it wasn’t easy. Hard things never are but the more I practice the easier it may become

Drink coffee with sugar and cream. Trust your intuition and earliest thoughts, even when they are not what was “expected” of you: be exactly you.

I’m so excited to share about an update on her giving tree and also a new show I found to watch

I went off on such a tangent that I had to edit this podcast and tack on a “better” ending. That’s 2020 for you, completely out of control.

Our little Toby lost his life Saturday night and I want to tell his story. R.I.P. little man. 10-17-20 it’s just important for me to talk it out.

You may choose to listen in 2 parts:) part one is “things lately” and part B was unplanned but a small interview with Abbie, our 18 year old daughter and her thoughts on social media today. Together it makes it a long listen. I honestly could have talked to her for hours about stuff so maybe another day we can chat.
