In today's conversation with Julie Rose, we delved into her journey as a radio journalist and podcast host, discussing how she tackles challenging topics and leans into uncomfortable conversations. Julie shared valuable strategies on how to approach discussions around contentious issues with curiosity and empathy, rather than resorting to debates or trying to persuade.
We explored the importance of setting intentions, maintaining emotional awareness, and focusing on understanding the person rather than winning an argument. Julie also provided practical tips for initiating and navigating these conversations in a way that builds deeper relationships and mutual understanding. This episode is packed with actionable advice for anyone looking to improve their communication skills, especially in difficult or sensitive conversations.
The last time Julie and I chatted!

This is my second year of having my garden, and I've been struggling with this morning glory infestation that I thought I had under control at the end of last year. It's like no matter what I do, it just keeps coming back. It's a constant battle, and it's got me thinking about how similar it is to our struggle with self-care.
Sometimes, we neglect our own needs, thinking we can push through. But just like the morning glory, those neglected needs can eventually overwhelm us. It's a reminder that self-care isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. Even small steps, like taking a few minutes for yourself each day, can make a big difference.

In this episode, we dive into the allure of certainty and why it's so tempting to want a clear, step-by-step guide for every aspect of life. But here's the catch—life doesn't always work that way. Whether it's raising kids, exercising, or planning your day, rigid prescriptions can often fall short.
Join me as I share why I can't, in good conscience, give you a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, I'll offer tools, principles, and insights to empower you to craft your own path. Learn how to adapt, choose your "shoulds," and embrace flexibility in your journey.

When you think about procrastination does it bring up some feelings of shame, maybe self-judgment? These complex feelings are common, so find out what your procrastination really means and how can you stop weaponizing it against yourself. By sorting out where your procrastination is coming from then you can see what your needs truly are and begin to develop healthy and supportive habits.
Shirin shares her own story of perfectionism as an Iranian immigrant who relied on constantly outperforming others and even herself, but teaches now that that behavior is not sustainable. Instead, learn to live at the “intersection of getting it done and allowing yourself to have free time,” which she calls good enough work. Tune in to be, as Shirin says, encouraged to return to your values, your beliefs and what lights you up with purpose.

Gabrielle Blair, mother of 6 blogging at Design Mom, co-founded Alt Summit 10 years ago and remains a champion for female entrepreneurship. Her motto could be described as dream big, then execute small. In fact, she admits in this episode that if she had known from the beginning where her dreams would have taken her she probably never would have attempted them.
She opens up about the business “failures” turned important lessons, how she moved her family (of 8!) to France for years despite not even having passports to begin with, and speaks aloud her big personal dreams just like you’ve been encouraged to do this month.
The size of your dreams doesn’t matter to anybody but you, and your ability to accomplish them isn’t up to anybody but you! See a pattern here? Tune in and be inspired to know how small steps take you big places.

In 2020 I put something on my Do Something List that I almost talked myself out of: have fun with fashion. I ended up loving the results so much that I’ve kept a version of it every year since. This year I came up with “explore my personal style.” And while I haven’t necessarily turned into a style expert, or even fashion blogger, I have enjoyed the way that exploring my personal style has helped me insert more of ME into my daily life.
To be clear, your personal style should be a complete reflection of you, and should serve you in the season you are in. It does not need to be about fitting in, or reflect only the most popular trends. In today’s episode I’m sharing my conversation with Jenny Eversole of Style Space about why your personal style does matter and 5 steps to rediscovering it. Plus, you’ll hear about my own experience with their Stylist, Whitney Herrod Khader, and what I surprisingly learned from going through my closet with an expert.

Have you ever found yourself in the position of feeling complete overwhelm, maybe even anxiety or depression, knowing you desperately need to take care of yourself but are simultaneously unable to? Whether it’s the small things like eating, or showering, to the big things like enjoying a creative hobby, we sometimes forget to support ourselves in those ways when we need it the most.
Mia Hemstad is a mother of two and a self-care coach, who has dealt personally and professionally with severe depression and PTSD. She shares one of the scariest moments she realized how lacking her self-care had become, and it may be all too relatable to some listeners. Tune in for a very real examination of why you’re prone to neglecting yourself and how to change that in ways that actually matter.

Have you ever felt like it was too late? Too late for your goals, traditions, or habits? Or, maybe you feel it’s too late to create better relationships?
Feeling like it’s “too late” can bring up a lot of emotions: anger, guilt, or sadness. You feel like you should have known better! (“I should have started this last week or years ago!”)
How can you recover from these feelings when you can’t change the past?
Instead of being stuck in these feelings, I want to teach you how to start where you are, even when you think it’s too late!
In this episode, I share my own experiences of feeling like it was “too late” for me to start certain things. (Don’t worry, I definitely understand this feeling!)
I then outline three ways you may be disqualifying yourself from starting over and cover mindset shifts you can embrace to move from feeling “it’s too late” to starting what you want.
(Hint: this means starting exactly where you are! You don’t have to go back to the beginning . . . )
So, whether it’s a new habit, a different career, or more education (or, in my case, this is starting now to work on family scrapbooks!), it’s time for you to qualify yourself and start where you are!
If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “It’s too late,” then this episode is for you. Join me to let go of regrets to create more for your life!

I have been surprised by something as an adult…I stink at friendship. When it comes to making new friends, or even staying connected with old friends, it has just become harder and harder. I also find myself become more and more introverted as I get older. And I think many of you can relate. Making and keeping friends as an adult has always seemed to be a hot topic, so if we’re all feeling this pull then why is it still so tough?
Psychologist and best-selling author Dr. Marisa G. Franco joins me today to offer the science backed reasons behind loneliness and relationships in a way that will have you nodding along in agreement. Honestly, you may even audibly gasp at some of her explanations – in a good way! The hard things you have been experiencing when it comes to friendship are real, and they have names, and there are ways to really support yourself through them.
