    *This* Changed My Motherhood with Madison Walters | Episode 281

    All of our motherhood journeys look different so taking advice can be a little *eye roll* obnoxious because “do they really know what my life looks like”? But today’s conversation with my friend Madison Walters puts all of our mess on the table to show you what “freedom” in motherhood looks like for us! Which, has totally changed the game!

    Making Your Home the "Hosting Home" with Myquillin Smith (@thenester) | Episode 278

    We all want to have the home that makes the "hey, I'm right around the corner, can I come over?" texts not frightening! We desire a home to connect, to host, to be cozy at least for our family and functional! Thanks to Myquillyn, this is possible with her rules she shares!
    It's more than just having a "pretty home" so we talk about that, why this is important and necessary to living/having the life you want to have.
