Meet Me in the Middle

Especially if you have kids - or are in the education world - you don't need us to tell you that life is very full right now. Layer on the complete *cluster-eff* that is the world right now, and you've got a recipe for feeling heavy.

"Good vibes only!" If you're tired of the gaslighting of the wellness industry's "your thoughts create your reality!" and "create a life you love, it's all up to you!" good news - so are we.

Three more white ladies make a podcast? Yes, it's true!
