On today's episode, I interview Ashley Gadd (creator of Coffee + Crumbs) about what it means to hold your life—your identity, your relationships, your children, your projects and work—with an open hand, instead of a closed fist. Tune in to hear Ashlee discuss how she has made this transition in her own life with God as her guide.
And, as per usual with me, you can expect many tangents on boybands and pop culture. There is laughter ahead. You have been warned.

On episode 33, I give an update on my last six months — but more importantly, I share how I'm "turning on the light" during this COVID-19 darkness we have all been plunged into. These are dark yet clarifying times, are they not?

A Thanksgiving episode the week after the Thanksgiving holiday? That's right, and there's good reason for it, too. Episode 32 is all about gratefulness: allowing it to spill over into the other 364 days of the year and also opening ourselves up to being thankful for the "bad" stuff in our lives.

Episode 31 is all about being our true selves: who we feel we are in our gut, who God created us to be. Are you bringing your true self to your work, to your life? I discuss my own experience with this question.

On episode 30, I discuss two topics: self-worth and surrender. During my recent physical illness, I grappled with feeling worthless, for a very specific reason, and this episode will cover how I'm working to overcome that. In particular, the driving question behind this episode is: where does your self-worth come from?

I'm back! With good news ... and bad news. In this episode, I discuss why I've been gone since my last episode (three months ago, yikes) and how I'm progressing in my recovery today: physically, emotionally, mentally, the whole thang. I missed you all—thanks for being patient with me, friends.

Episode 28 is about minimalism. In this episode, I'll discuss what minimalism is, what it isn't, the story of how I came across minimalism for the first time... but most importantly, what minimalism means to me. I'll share how I practice minimalism in my life, and how it has changed me on a spiritual level, too. Minimalism is dear to my heart, so, although it's a buzzword that gets a ton of negative press, I'm still excited to share my version of it with all of you.

On today's episode, I interview Ashley Abramson, a writer who is so brave she deserves a spot in Gryffindor, for sure. Ashley writes for the New York Times, The Cut and many more publications about topics like motherhood and mental health. A few examples of her articles are: "I Got Married Before I Was Ready", "This Is What Postpartum Anxiety Feels Like" and "A Motherless Daughter, Mothering". Sharing that stuff on the interwebs? That's what I call bravery.
"We don't write FOR love and acceptance. We write FROM love and acceptance." — Ashley
Tune in to hear how Ashley manages to turn her pain into something helpful for other people through her super personal articles.
(I have to admit, I was taking notes the entire time she spoke. She's a rockstar.)

Today, I'm telling you about the documentary that left me in tears—no, that's the understatement of the century—I was ugly crying under the covers. A few weeks ago, I watched a documentary on Fred Rogers (popularly known as Mr. Rogers) and it moved me to my core. In this episode, I'll break down why it made me cry, sure, but, way more importantly, the questions it made me ask myself about my parenting and the way I'm living my life. Are we enough just as we are or are we supposed to improve ourselves? Listen to the episode to hear where I fall on this issue.
