In case you didn’t know, the “one size fits all” approach to life is BS. Here’s what we mean: being productive, living minimally, embracing motherhood, and everything else we’re trying to do 24/7/365 looks different for everyone!

Today, our podcast guest is talking all about finding ways to be successful in your life - ESPECIALLY at the start of the day - in a way that works for YOU. Desirae Endres is the host of the top-ranked podcast, Minimal-ish, where she talks about all things realistic minimalism, motherhood, and intentional living each week. In 2018, Desirae and her husband set out to live with less clutter in their home. Soon she found that the journey to less was about so much more than a clutter-free home. Five years later, she has learned to embrace a messy, realistic version of minimalism, and she teaches others how to fit minimalism into their unique life, family, personality, and season. She’s sharing her tips for starting your day off in a way that will help you face whatever the day has in store for you. Enjoy!

The 90s were sick… like literally, sick. Here’s what we mean: the popular body type of the day was being Kate Moss skinny. If you missed the 90s or just weren’t old enough to remember Kate splashed across all the magazines, trust us, it was an unattainable look. 

While it’s easy to fall into feeling like we’ve come a long way since those days we want to face the truth: that the way women’s bodies are treated, the messages we receive, and sometimes even the messages we SEND are still perpetuating the idea that being thin means being beautiful. This episode is alllllll about flipping the script (and perspective) surrounding our bodies and saying goodbye FOREVER to the word fat. This episode is for the struggling, the body conscious, the body positive, and the Moms who want to empower their daughters to view their bodies in a loving light. Gear up Mamas, this episode is going to go deep and we are here for it - we hope you are too!

Remember the end of the movie Freaky Friday when Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan both have a better understanding of each other because they have literally walked in each other’s shoes? Or how about the movie Brave when Merida’s Mom finally GETS her daughter because she’s been able to parent differently? Shifting parent-child relationships are all around us. 

Today, we’re giving you all the ingredients to embrace the chaotic lifestyle of motherhood and strengthen your relationship with your kids – without doing a body swap or turning into a giant Scottish bear. Our guest, Marielle Melling is the founder of Lovin' Life with Littles, author of Peace Amidst the Mayhem, and her upcoming new book The BUT Book (releasing June 3, 2024). She helps parents simplify the hard stuff of motherhood, so they have more calm, stronger relationships with their kids, and more joy. Oh and did we mention she’s the busy mom to five kids ages 5-16, so when she talks about chaos, she KNOWS her stuff. We are so excited for this episode and hope you love it too!

I. D. K. The three most dreaded letters in the alphabet for Moms everywhere.

There’s nothing more conversation halting than the “I don’t know” response when you ask your kids what they learned, how their day was, what they want to eat… anything. We’re not sure if it’s some kind of kid code or what, but we know it’s definitely not helping us have open and honest conversations that give us insight into their lives and potential struggles. Today we’re breaking down that IDK and talking about how to get your kids to open up - especially when you feel like I don’t know actually means “I’m panicking inside and have feelings I can’t quite explain”. We can’t promise you’ll leave this episode a parent/child relationship expert, but we can say you’ll learn a bit about communication and how it can help you and your child grow together and as individuals. We hope you love this one as much as we do!
