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 In-Between Season of Life (And Why It Feels So Hard)

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”...

Superlatively Yes

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...

This week on Superlatively Yes, Tanya is joined by Shawn while Jennifer recovers from torn bicep surgery (her hair is surviving… barely). What unfolds is a funny, honest, midlife conversation about bent Mercedes wheels, marriage dynamics, decision fatigue, blonde hair transformation, and what it really means to show up during a quiet week.
From dealership warranty letters to sorting tax receipts as two self-proclaimed “alphas,” Tanya and Shawn unpack the tension and humor of working together after 31 seasons of marriage. They talk about finishing The Lincoln Lawyer, streaming fatigue, DIY confidence with a new Dewalt miter saw, IKEA cabinets from San Antonio, and why sometimes the biggest growth comes from small, ordinary tasks.
Plus, the SEC football metaphor that explains why Tanya walked into the salon as a redhead and walked out blonde.
This episode is about alignment — in cars, in closets, in leadership, and in life.
And sometimes? That’s enough.
