    Female Fellowship

    Historically, women have been communal, sharing the majority of our lives with each other. More and more it now feels like we’re islands onto ourselves, sometimes alongside each other but not still not with each other. We talk about why this might be, what it means, and whether or not it’s a bad thing.

    Back to Work with Baby

    Amy is one week post-maternity leave, adjusting back to work and this time with baby. We talk about the differences in back-to-work between our kids and how strange it is that American culture hasn’t figured out a better set of options for working parents.

    Feeling Mental from the Load

    Does your brain ever feel like the inside of a hoarder house? It’s no secret women carry the mental load of the family - planning, directing, creating, check-listing, remembering, organizing, teaching, reminding … it’s a lot and even though it’s done for the people we love and are surrounded by, it can leave us feeling alone. Why does this happen, even when we have amazing partners and teach our kids to be responsible and independent? We’re still left feeling mental from carrying the load.

    Personal Growth vs Contentedness

    Where does the pressure to achieve come from and how do we balance an internal desire to grow with a need to embrace the present? In this episode, we talk about how in the middle of the busy, it can be hard to add or strengthen a skill. And yet, even with all we have going on, we desire more.

    Adulting

    Maturity, anticipation, task-mastering, pivoting, selflessness. Adulting is a lot of things - some liberating, some infuriating. While saying farewell to Amy’s house, we talk about what defines adulthood for us.

    The Box is Back

    Some seasons of life require a pause from doing alllllll the things. This was such a season for us. We were burning the candles at both ends along with our husbands and just had to let some things go. Can you relate? Fortunately, those seasons don’t last forever and we get to return our energy and joy to this fun podcast experience with all of you! We talk about this and more in this episode. Thanks for listening!

    Staying present in the busy holiday season

    Gifts, parties, school and church programs, traditions, family obligations, we’ve got it all jam-packed into what often becomes a holly jolly nightmare. Let’s take a pause and consider what really means happiness and joy this season.

    Wrestling with Restlessness

    Restlessness seems to find us when we’re unhappy, unfulfilled, or feeling “behind.” But why do we try to patch these holes with things that won’t last?
