Hey y’all, welcome back to This Is For Us! This episode is late—and I’m just being honest about it.

This isn’t a pep talk. This is a friendship talk. The kind where you get real about what failure feels like and show up anyway. No makeup, no filter, just me being human. 🎧 In this episode, we’ll talk about: ✔️ Missing the first podcast deadline in a year...

Hey y’all!
Welcome back to another episode of This Is For Us. Today’s episode is unscripted, unfiltered, and brought to you by an afternoon snow day, a cute champagne glass, and a hefty dose of real-life chaos.

I’m diving into the realities of my day—a snowstorm in Knoxville, chili that didn’t go as planned, dogs in snow boots, and the unexpected overstimulation that comes with trying to make “perfect” memories. If you’ve ever felt like your day is a comedy of errors, this one’s for you.

Let’s talk about the beauty of imperfection, the lessons in letting go, and why it’s okay to lose your cool sometimes. Spoiler alert: the chili turned out okay, the chandelier got installed (mostly), and we’re all fine in the end.

Grab your coffee, tea, or a glass of champagne, and join me as we navigate the chaos together.

Highlights

  • Snow Day in Knoxville:
    A rare snowy day turns into a comedy of errors, from missing gloves to dogs in snow boots.

  • Chandelier Chronicles:
    After years of waiting, I finally got a chandelier installed in my closet—but not without its hiccups.

  • Chili Fiasco:
    When the grocery store shelves are empty, you make do... even if the chili doesn’t taste quite right.

  • Overstimulation and Overreactions:
    The honest truth about how a perfect day in your mind can spiral into frustration—and why that’s okay.

  • Finding Gratitude in the Chaos:
    A gentle reminder that even on the wildest days, there’s something to be grateful for.

Quote from the Episode

"Sometimes the perfect day in our minds doesn’t turn out as planned, and that’s okay—because life’s beauty is in the messiness, not the perfection."
