Breakdowns Before Breakthroughs
Superlatively Yes
Good morning, sweet friends. Today’s Mini Monday episode of the Superlatively Yes podcast is coming from a very full week—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. The kind of week where life feels heavy and beautiful at the same time. In this episode, Tanya reflects on the contrast of life—deep, lingering emotions from what we watch, questions about the pace of modern life, meaningful moments with family, and the quiet realization that sometimes we’re simply doing too much. From cleaning out closets and refreshing spaces to praying through hard things and sharing intentional time around...

The Truth About Unexpected Change
Superlatively Yes
Unexpected change has a way of getting our attention. We can hear about changes happening in the world all day long, but until something shifts in our own routines, our families, or our plans, we don’t truly feel the weight of it. In this Mini Monday episode of the Superlatively Yes Podcast, Tanya talks about navigating seasons of uncertainty, stress, family dynamics, and the unexpected turns that life brings. She reflects on the reality that behind every front door is a family experiencing both good days and hard days, and that the human condition connects us all more than we realize. Tanya...

It’s Giving Swinter
Superlatively Yes
A few themes from this episode: Healing is humbling, and sometimes accepting help is its own kind of growth. Not everything in modern life feels as user-friendly as it should. Your nervous system deserves compassion, too. Midlife may come with more sock decisions than anyone prepared us for. A good evening routine can be an act of self-respect. In this episode of Superlatively Yes, Tanya and Jen are back behind the microphones, talking through one of those very specific life seasons where everything feels just a little harder than it should. From the strange weather whiplash of “swinter”...

Small Things, Greater Things (Mini-Monday)
Superlatively Yes
Good morning and welcome to another quiet little corner of Monday. This episode came from a gentle, reflective place in my heart — the kind of place that notices how often we underestimate small things. Small beginnings. Small progress. Small faith. We live in a world that celebrates big, loud, dramatic transformations. But God? He has always had a soft spot for the small. An acorn that becomes an oak tree. A tiny jar of oil that becomes an abundance. Loaves and fishes that become overflowing baskets. And maybe most tender of all… Little faith. Wobbly faith. Fear-wrapped faith. Faith that...
info_outlineHi friends,
It’s Tanya and Jen, and we had so much fun recording this first episode of 2026 with you.
This one started the way most of our best conversations do over chips and salsa… and somehow turned into a full-blown heart-to-heart about quitting, trying again, common sense, and how we’re all accidentally wasting our talents on our phones.
We talk about National Quitters Day (the second Friday in January — yes, we Googled it 😂) and why so many of us give up on our goals so quickly. Not because we’re lazy… but because we set the bar so high and rely on motivation instead of grace.
In this episode, we laugh, ramble, and tell the truth about:
Why motivation never stays
How “all-or-nothing” thinking makes us quit
The Trim Healthy Mama rule that changed how we see mistakes (you get a reset in three hours!)
Why tiny choices beat big, dramatic overhauls
Learning to cook ten meals instead of becoming a gourmet overnight
Reading more books and scrolling less
And giving ourselves permission to start again tomorrow
We also went full-soapbox about society in 2026 — because apparently we had some feelings 😅 — including:
Traffic etiquette (LET ONE CAR IN, PEOPLE)
Chick-fil-A drive-thru behavior
Airport pajamas, bare feet, and barbecue on planes
Bathroom manners (yes, we said boob-water)
And why using a turn signal is not optional
And then we got serious in the best way:
We talked about trading TikTok for our talents — playing piano, cooking, reading, learning, creating, living — instead of scrolling away our lives.
Jen shared her goal to read more in 2026 after going from 50 books to 12, and Tanya committed (on record!) to learning how to cook real meals instead of surviving on crockpot chaos and restaurant food.
We ended with a simple invitation:
What’s one thing you could quit this year?
And what’s one thing you should make more room for?
You don’t have to be perfect.
You don’t have to do it every day.
You just have to keep coming back.
Thank you for being here with us, laughing with us, growing with us, and doing life alongside us. We love you so much, and we can’t wait to see what 2026 holds for all of us. 💛
Tanya & Jen
