Alexis is another instagram friend that I'm bringing on to the podcast because we've built a friendship that I want to share with my listeners. She's a women's rights activist and uses art as self-care when she needs to release her inner child. She walks us through other forms of self-care for her that she turns to as a "solo" mom of 2 (she's married to the most wonderful husband who coaches college football) and as she's navigating politicial seasons. We're also diving into: Shadow work we've done How we've learned to face ourselves and find peace in our own company Five Minute Journaling...

This is such a fun and unique episode. I'm sitting down with Phoebe who is a plant educator, herbalist, and just overall woo woo babe which y'all know I LOVE. She is the co-founder of Fungtion, a functional mushroom wellness brand. Fungtion exists to create subtle transformations in people's lives through functional ingredients derived from earth. For a funny rabbit hole because Grace has been on the podcast a few times now, Phoebe is Fungtion's co-founder alongside George who is Grace's best friend's cousin. This episode is fun because I am coming out of the psychedilics closet and we are...

Grace needs NO introduction as I welcome her back to the podcast. This is a continuation of a conversation we had 3 years ago about consistency as our superpower. In today's episode we are catching all the way up and we're getting a very vulnerable and soft Grace. Her life looks nothing like it did the last time she was on the podcast and she's sharing her journey through the fire and how she's picked up the pieces of what tried to break her. The hardest truth from our convo: no one is going to save you, no one can do the work for you, the only way out is through. Let's get in. to. it....

Season 3 is winding down, but I knew I could not close out this season without sitting down with my boo, Ciji. I call her the queen of balance + pivots and you'll see why on this podcast episode. I love Ciji because she keeps it real. Her life is her content and as she's navigating being a mom of 2, solo-parenting while her husband has business travel, or picking up Chick-fil-A dinner for the second (or third) time this week, she's bringing her Balanced Not Busy community along with her. In today's episode we are diving into: Not going into energy debt by giving more than you have What...

In today's episode I'm discussing what it looks like to step out your comfort zone and into your purpose, what to expect every step of the way, and how we can only grow when we push ourselves. As y'all know, we have the most amazing guests and I'm lucky to call most of them close friends so I get to experience the behind the scenes of some of these conversations. I'm also walking you guys through a few episodes that I've recorded in the past where my friends stepped out of their comfort zone and into their purpose. 10/10 recommend you go back and listen to these episodes: Episode 24: Lindsay...

Spoiler Alert: The secret to staying motivated is that there is no secret. I am just as unmotivated as the next girl on most days, the difference is that over the years I have been consistently developing the muscle of discipline. See, motivation gets you started, but it's discipline that keeps you going. Here's what we are diving into in today's episode: Cutting through the social media noise and misguided information about health and fitness Showing up for yourself even on days that you don't feel like it Starting small and focusing on consistency over intensity My workout program + a few...
