TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER About a year and a half ago I was struggling with the dead space that filled my nights. Too tired to read, no attention span to get lost in a binge worthy show and no bandwidth to be with people, I found myself scrolling social media.

It doesn’t take much time on social media, however, to feel the comparison and jealously game kick in. It was …

TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER I want to talk with you guys today about the best advice I’ve ever received. But first, I want to tell you a story… I hated blueberries for the first 32 years of my life. I picked them out of muffins, left them out of fruit salads and passed them up at the grocery store. They looked suspicious to me. In our house we have a ‘polite bite’ rule. You don’t have to finish all the food on your plate but you must at least try a bite of …

Speed Boost
TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER A few weeks ago on a Saturday morning, the kids and I ventured out. Dawson is usually our leader, far ahead of Lainey and I.

She clenches her teeth, raises her shoulders and sticks her head forward as she digs in and suddenly pedals quickly. “Vrooooommm, …
The Climb
TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER There’s this sleepy little town in Michigan, Frankfort, that’s won my heart. The first time I went we were a fresh family of four. Laine was only 4 months old at the time and it was our first real adventure together. I went blindly as Daryn took the reins on the trip and I had little expectations of how things would go. An 8 hour trip in the car with an infant to a place that I’d never heard of…I wasn’t expecting much. This idillic little town I …

A Friend In Need
TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER At surface level I’d like to think that being vulnerable is easy for me but my reality could not be farther from that.

In a recent conversation with a good friend, she spoke directly to a harsh thought I have long grown to believe for myself. She challenged me to flip my narrative and instead of believing that showing emotion is …
