In our final interview episode of the season we’re hearing from Amanda Phillips. She’s currently in New York leaning into a dream that she’s had for quite a while. Amanda is a speaker, writer, and mental health advocate. She’s been through it and is using her voice to let other people know they’re not alone, that there is good stuff ahead, and that they’ve got to keep going. Isn’t it interesting that much of the time the messages we want to tell others are often the messages we so badly wish to share with our younger selves? Find Life with Room on social media HERE!

It's episode 8 and we’re going to be hearing from Keisha Graham. Keisha is a birth worker here in Richmond, VA and this episode was super fun for me because she was my doula during pregnancy and labor! She is kind, she is passionate, she has a vision for what pregnancy and birth can look like specifically for black women and families, and she so clearly is doing the work that she feels called to do.

In this episode of Life with Room we’re hearing from Jess Rosen. We talk about so many things that are on our minds– maybe they’re plaguing your thoughts too: comparison, self-doubt, neutrality mindset, trusting that things will work out, divine guidance. All the things! In this episode I share a story about a time that Jess handed me some very wise words and how life changing it was (hint: we can often put too much emphasis on making “big” decisions).

Today we're hearing from Jen Stolz as she talks about making memories during the hardest time and how that has helped her to be triggered to joy rather than sorrow. Jen now has a non-profit called the Zoe Faith Foundation where she helps others that are going through a life-limiting diagnosis. Her heart for sprinkling joy whenever possible is absolutely beautiful! Jen reminds me that pursuing joy is so so worth it.

Amber Leonard talks with us this morning about learning to grieve the dream she had for her life and pressing into dreaming up new dreams. She is making room for prioritizing her health after years of having her head down in grief and advocacy for her son. Amber reminds me that we go nowhere by accident and that our stories/experiences often come back to serve us later down the line.  Use this link to join us on social media! https://linktr.ee/lifewithroom --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Today we’re talking with Laura Barry about making room for really getting to know ourselves. We recognize that we often feel like too much for people, but we can do the work of getting comfortable in our own skin and enjoying the people that support and join us along the way. I’m hopeful that this conversation will encourage you to make some room. https://linktr.ee/lifewithroom --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Life is hard enough without you getting in your own way. Living in the moment is one of the most life-giving things we can do for ourselves. It grounds us in a unique way and has the potential to have us falling head over heels in love with our reality. The beauty is here, right now. Come make some room. https://linktr.ee/lifewithroom --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
