Love, Death, and everything in between.

Having the realization that I don't have to live in survival mode anymore. That the person I had to become, to make it through some of the most intense situations. Because of the person I was, it helped me to create roots with people, you create security and safety and unconditional, no strings attached, they chose you to be in their life and you feel it and its so beautiful and terrifying bec...

I think it's so important to see the things that aren't so great in ourselves and our kids and work on them. Because why wouldn't you want things to be better, create healthier humans and that helps your personal ripple effect.

I had really wanted to save this one for the week of Halloween, but with how I've been feeling and so I decided to do what I want and I wanted to have this in my episode this week. I love listening to this story that I have heard my whole life and I love that I have this recording of one of my favorite stories I grew up hearing. I hope y'all enjoy!

It takes a level of bravery to show the parts of us that aren't very appealing. To have the courage to be judged, to be viewed through real time glasses vs rose colored ones. I am willing to have the hard conversations, to be able to have a relationship with the boys that they feel comfortable enough to call me out, to check me and do it in a way that feels safe for all of us. I will keep figh...

I never thought I would be so intrigued by death topics and I think it comes back to me being curious. I want to understand why I feel how I do, how others feel. I truly find it so interesting and so y'all should definitely check out the book- The in-between By Hadley Vlahos

The different roles that just happen between men and women and how they impact our day to day lives and for the most part no one talks about it or works on making it better. This is definitely a cycle I want to break and normalize talking about how this impacts so many of us.

I keep reminding myself I woke up, its going to be okay, it is okay and maybe that's a bunch of bullshit to others, but I'm picking my hard and it's going to be the hard with an optimistic outlook because sometimes that's all we can control.

Today's episode is really real, I touch base on a topic I haven't really ever shared about, but I feel is important. We have to work on being our own advocate, understanding/attempting to understand what's triggering us.

We need to keep communication open, even when it's hard! I think sometimes we really need people to help check us, pull us back into reality and if we aren't talking, that can't happen.

What are you going to feel about your day; if tonight was your last night and the day was your last day?

We have to choose what hard we want, life is hard and it's always going to be that way.. you choose what you want, what you're going to fight for

5th time is a charm, haha, oh this episode, but I think I found a better way of recording and so it's an absolute win in my book. Have a wonderful week, y'all!

Someday your kids are going to figure you out. I promise you they will. The type of parent you are. The type of spouse you are. How you treat other people. How much effort you put into them. You're either going to be someone they look up to, or someone they never wanna be like. Always remember they are watching and absorbing. This was sent to me and I LOVED it! Just the other day, I threw an a...

I think when you experience certain things, it changes you and sometimes these changes are for the good and sometimes they aren't and sometimes even the good changes are perceived as bad because those good changes are creating boundaries in areas that have needed them for a very long time.

"When a close friend unexpectedly leaves us, a piece of our heart is forever broken." "The loss of a friend is that of a limb; time may heal the anguish of the wound, but the loss cannot be repaired." - Robert Southey I miss my best friend. I miss my Dad. Grief is a son of a bitch. Editing this was hard, but as soon as I was done I sat back and took a deep breath and I felt a l...

This was a hard episode to do, a large part of me really didn't want to record an episode this week, but I'm glad I did. We need outlets, we need places we can talk, we need to keep having hard conversations, pushing ourselves. I won't give up on trying to normalize death, helping people process their grief.

Are you feeding or weeding negativity? What type of ripple are you putting out to the world? These are questions I think we really need to think about on a regular basis, because it's so easy to get wrapped up things.

The truth always comes out, you may not be aware that the lie has been discovered, but people do know, you perpetually lie and make that your habit and before you know it, its been a lifetime of these little lies here, maybe a bigger lie there, some little white lies here and there and a few more here and fibs, stretching the truth; and bottom line, A lie is lie and it will always be wrong. Be tru...

Happy Mothers to y'all out there!

The Whole30 is a hard reset for your body and I truly feel like it's an absolute hard reset for everything. I truly am grateful for finding this way of eating and in all reality it's not as hard as you think, as long as your prepared. By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail. - Benjamin Franklin If you have any questions about the Whole30, I am also going to post our dinners for th...

This is probably one of my favorite episodes I've ever done, for so many reasons and so I'm going to list them. Coy is my baby, well, not so little baby anymore I love his honesty and the way he says things, his views Part of why this is pretty unscripted, keeps it real and having an episode with a 9yr old, all the way to electric avenue ;) This is such a milestone for Coy and I am so prou...

I think it's so easy to get wrapped up in the negative talk of ex's and focus on all the bad... but what if we treated them, the situation the same way we did at the beginning of the relationship Some food for thought.

I encourage each and everyone of you to work on taking steps in sharing, sharing when you feel like you're hanging by a thread, that things are hard. It helps normalize so much and helps give the people in our lives to help, to show up and I feel that truly goes full circle in a lot of ways.

I would love to hear any of your thoughts and feelings on this, or hear about any experiences that you've had. I will update y'all next week on how Wednesday goes.
