On today’s episode, my good friend Lana and I are talking all about how to ditch the guilt about your phone. We want you to be present in your life instead of feeling like you’re always missing something. So how do we make sure we ARE being present? One of the biggest things that has come up so often in the Cowgirls Over Coffee membership is the distraction of our phones. However, instead of feeling like we need to completely throw our phones in the trash, we’re talking about how to utilize our phones as an amazing tool while also having boundaries so we can live a present life.    Resources & Links: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer  How to Unhurry workbook Follow Lana on Instagram @small.town.preachers.wife Learn more about Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community Join the Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community waitlist   Connect with Thea and the community: Follow on Instagram @thea.does.the.things and @cowgirlsovercoffee Follow on Facebook @cowgirlsovercoffee   Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss a convo!

The truth of the matter is there’s nothing you’re missing. There’s no hack, strategy, system or secret that you just haven’t figured out. There’s only the dynamic process of discovering what matters for you and what doesn’t, what works for you and what doesn’t. I certainly don’t have it all figured out yet! And, that’s what this podcast is all about. Welcome to Cowgirls Over Coffee with Thea Larsen! The podcast where I take you along on my mission to encourage and equip women with that cowgirl grit and determination to finally quit winging it, and learn to savor life at the intersection of home and ambition. Tune in each week for conversations with not only myself, but also roundtable discussions with my friends, and even an expert or two, as we navigate the messy, mundane and magic of every day cultivating thriving homes and businesses from the ranch, farm, kitchen table or cab of the truck. This is an experiment in embracing the process, sampling systems, and nurturing self, all while simply refusing to settle for less than we know we can achieve - for ourselves, our families, our communities and our businesses. We’ll cover topics like planning, organization, rural lifestyle, motherhood, wellbeing, homemaking, dream chasing and entrepreneurship.  Make sure to hit subscribe so you never miss a convo!
