    Want to Spend Less? How To Rethink Frugality and Change Your Habits Around Money || with Shang Saavedra

    Shang Saavedra is a personal finance expert who helped me rethink frugality in a liberating way. Our conversation explored the emotional roots of our money habits, revealing how mental health significantly impacts financial literacy. Shang shared her personal story of living off 20% of her income during her twenties, not out of scarcity, but with the goal of buying time and freedom later. This approach was truly eye-opening, showing me that frugality can lead to joy when it's aligned with our values. Shang's inspiring and compassionate approach left me feeling more empowered and hopeful about my financial journey, and I hope sharing her insights will motivate you to embark on your path to financial freedom too.

    How Your Strengths Can Guide Your Path | H&K with Tallia Deljou

    Do you ever feel like you're good at something but it still doesn't feel like a strength? You're not alone — and there's actually a reason for that. In this clip, transformational coach and positive psychology expert Talia DelZotto breaks down the difference between skills and strengths, and why so many women miss their own strengths entirely because they're looking in the wrong place.If you've been on a personal growth journey but still struggle to answer "what are you good at?" without defaulting to your resume, this one's for you. Talia shares a simple but powerful framework — strength is who you are, skill is how it's expressed — and walks through reflective questions to help you finally identify what lights you up, energizes you, and pulls you into flow.This is the kind of self-awareness that makes daily habits feel more intentional, self-compassion feel more natural, and personal development actually stick.

    What We Get Wrong Around Goal-Making + How to Pursue Bold Goals Without Burning Out || Wise Women Series, with Dr. Danielle McGeough

    As someone who has historically had a complicated relationship with goals, I found Dr. Danielle McGeough's perspective refreshing and enlightening. One profound takeaway from our conversation was the concept of detaching self-worth from achievements. Danielle emphasized setting goals that focus on who you want to become on the journey, rather than just the destination. This shift in perspective transforms traditional goal-setting, allowing for personal evolution without the baggage of perfectionism or burnout. I’m excited to implement her insights and encourage you to explore this transformative approach.

    How To Dress Yourself and Rediscover Your Style as Your Body Changes || with Angela Foster

    Feeling like you have nothing to wear often stems from a disconnect with your evolving body and lifestyle. My chat with Angela Foster illuminated how personal style is more about authenticity than trends. We discussed the importance of understanding your body shape and dressing for your current life phase, rather than an idealized image. Angela's approach is about crafting a wardrobe reflecting your true self and simplifying your daily routine. By focusing less on fleeting trends and more on what resonates personally, you transform your closet into a space that supports who you are, enhancing both confidence and ease.

    How to Stop Waiting to Be Happy & Choose Joy Through Hard Seasons | H&K with Sean & Nicole Johnson

    What do you do when life isn't where you hoped it would be — and you're just stuck in the waiting? Sean and Nicole Johnson get refreshingly real about how they keep moving forward through infertility without letting the hard seasons consume them. Their approach is simple but powerful: feel it, then redirect. Nicole talks about processing emotions and then consciously choosing to move on, while Sean shares a surprisingly beautiful insight from his service mission — that the Spanish word for "have fun," divertir, literally means "to divert." Sometimes joy isn't about ignoring the pain. It's about making a deliberate choice to stop rehashing what you can't fix right now and pour yourself into something — and someone — else instead. This is a quiet reminder that personal growth and daily happiness aren't about having a perfect life. They're about choosing connection, showing up for others, and refusing to let what's missing define what's possible. What's one small way you could "divert" your attention toward something life-giving this week?

    You’ll Never See Yourself the Way Others See You || Growth Spurt

    I've been thinking a lot about a lesson from the book "Disillusioned" by Nicholas Binge: we can never see ourselves as our loved ones do. This isn't just about looks—it's about the way our essence shines through to those who care for us. Understanding that our reflection captures only a fraction of our true selves can offer us grace. By embracing this, we navigate life's changes with more compassion, recognizing the unseen beauty in how others perceive us. Preorder Sticky Habits book today!

    The Importance of Cultivating the Smallest of Joys, Even Amidst the Toughest of Times || with Diane Shiffer, Your Chubby Vintage Nana

    As I sat down with Diane Shiffer, I was awestruck by her radiant perspective on joy, especially in a world that often feels engulfed in darkness. Diane, known as the Internet's favorite nana, believes in the transformative power of small joys. As I listened, I realized that joy isn't about waiting for the grand moments; it's about practicing gratitude and noticing the little things that lift our spirits. Diane's journey is a testament to the strength found in vulnerability and self-compassion. Her book, "The Smallest of Joys," teaches us that embracing imperfections and offering ourselves grace are essential steps to living a joyful life. This conversation reminded me of the importance of rest and grace as fuel for productivity, rather than distractions from it. If there's one takeaway from my conversation with Diane, it's that we should start noticing and celebrating those small moments of joy that we often overlook in our daily hustle.

    How One Mom Fought Postpartum Depression by Doing Something Just for Her || H&K with Heather Jensen

    After her third baby, Heather Jensen hit a wall. Postpartum depression had taken the happy, positive person she knew herself to be — and she needed to find her way back. What she discovered was that investing in her own goals and personal growth wasn't selfish; it was the very thing that made her a better mom. In this clip, Heather gets vulnerable about her mental health journey and how training for an Ironman became her self-care — not an escape from her family, but a way back to herself. She also shares the daily habits and mindset shifts that help her stop being a perfectionist about her training, keep family first, and still pursue big, scary goals. If you've ever wondered how to feel happy again after a hard season, or how to carve out space for personal development without the mom guilt, this one is for you.
