    Episode 52 – Would You Rather: Marriage, Motherhood & Adult Life

    This week on She Who Thrives, we're trading the serious conversations for some ridiculous choices, questionable answers, and plenty of laughs! We're playing Would You Rather: Marriage, Motherhood & Adult Life Edition, and let's just say being a grown-ass woman gives you a whole new perspective on these questions.  From annoying husband habits and spicy marriage questions to parenting dilemmas, adult kids, money, getting older, and all the b******t responsibilities nobody warned us about. We're covering it all. Some questions are hilarious. Some are surprisingly hard. And a few might actually make you stop and think about what matters most at this stage of your life. Grab your husband, your girlfriends, or your mom and play along with us! There is only one rule and it is simple: You HAVE to choose. No “it depends.” Which one of us would YOU agree with most?  💡 Tip of the Week: Stop waiting for the easy season of life to enjoy your life. Find the fun in the season you're actually living.

    Episode 51 – NO Means NO

    This week on She Who Thrives,  we're having one of our most vulnerable conversations yet. The recent sexual-assault allegations involving a former Cornell University student opened the door to a much bigger conversation about consent, victim blaming, why survivors don't always report, and our own experiences with men who didn't stop when we said no. We talk about the questions survivors are constantly asked: What was she wearing? Why did she drink? Why did she go home with him? Why didn't she fight? Why didn't she leave?Why didn't she report? And the question we should be asking instead: Why didn't he stop? We talk about fight, flight, freeze and fawn, the shame and fear that can keep survivors silent, sexual violence against men, protecting ourselves without blaming victims, and why we need to teach our sons just as much as our daughters about consent. Because it doesn't matter what someone is wearing. It doesn't matter if they flirted. It doesn't matter if they kissed you. It doesn't matter if you've had sex before. And it doesn't matter if sexual activity has already started. Someone can change their mind. ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode discusses rape, sexual assault, coercion, trauma, victim blaming, drug- and alcohol-facilitated assault, and personal experiences with sexual violence. 💡 Tip of the Week: Respect the f*****g no. Teach your daughters they never owe anyone access to their bodies, and teach your sons the exact same thing. STOP. ASK. LISTEN. No explanation is required. No justification is necessary. No is enough!  If you need support, the National Sexual Assault Hotline is available 24/7 at 800-656-HOPE (4673). Text HOPE to 64673 or contact RAINN for confidential support.

    Episode 50 – 50 Episodes of Real Talk, Raw Truth & Plenty of Spice

    WE MADE IT TO 50!  For our 50th episode of She Who Thrives, we're doing something a little different: 5 categories. 10 things in each. 50 for 50. And we're definitely sharing some shit you haven't heard before.  10 She Who Thrives Awards, 10 Things You Didn't Know About She Who Thrives, 10 Biggest Wins From Our First 50 Episodes, 10 Things We Want to Do Before Episode 100. We also answer one final question: If we could go back to the three women who sat down to record Episode 1, what would we tell them? We started this podcast hoping that if even one person heard something they needed to hear, it would be worth it. Fifty episodes later, we're still laughing, learning, oversharing, calling out the b******t, and we're definitely not done yet.  💡 Tip of the Week: Celebrate your damn milestones. Stop being so focused on what's next that you forget to recognize how far you've already come. Celebrate the win. Be proud of the progress. And then keep going. Thank you for being part of our first 50. Here's to the next 50, and whatever the hell happens along the way!

    Episode 49 – Are We Helping Our Kids or Creating Entitled Adults?

    We all want to give our kids a good life, but is it possible to make life a little too easy for them?  This week on She Who Thrives, we’re talking about raising entitled kids and that tricky line between helping and enabling. As parents, so much of what we do comes from love. We want to protect our kids, give them opportunities, help when they’re struggling, and sometimes give them things we never had. But what happens when helping turns into rescuing? We talk about: chores, allowance, teenagers getting jobs, expensive wants, saying no, letting kids fail, natural consequences, helping adult children financially, and whether constantly stepping in could actually prevent our kids from learning independence, responsibility, gratitude, and resilience. We also ask a question that might make some of us parents a little uncomfortable: If our kids are entitled, did we help create it?  There’s no perfect way to parent, and helping your child through a difficult season is very different from constantly protecting them from the consequences of their choices. 💡 Tip of the Week: Don’t do for your kids what they’re capable of learning to do for themselves. Support them. Teach them. Be there when they need you. But also let them make mistakes, hear no, experience disappointment, solve problems, and figure some shit out. Because our job isn’t to make sure our kids never struggle, it’s to raise kids who believe they can handle life when struggle comes.

    Episode 48 – The Life She Almost Left Behind – Jordyn Mitchell

    On August 23, 2017, Jordyn Mitchell was 14 years old when she attempted to take her own life. Thankfully, Jordyn survived. Today, she's here to share her story.  In honor of Suicide Prevention Month, Jordyn joins us on She Who Thrives, for an incredibly vulnerable conversation about what was happening in her life at 14, the pain she was carrying, what she remembers from that period of her life, and what healing looked like after surviving. Jordyn's story is about so much more than one day in 2017. It's about the life that came afterward. We talk about: the things she wishes people understood about someone who is struggling, the importance of asking for help, what she's learned through recovery, and the perspective she has gained from getting the chance to grow into the woman she is today. And we ask Jordyn one of the most important questions of the episode: If you could sit across from 14-year-old Jordyn today, what would you tell her? This conversation is heartbreaking at times, but it's also filled with hope. Because one of the most powerful parts of Jordyn's story is simply this: She's still here. She's living, growing, laughing, learning, loving, experiencing life, and using her story to remind someone else that their darkest moment doesn't have to be the end of theirs. ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode discusses suicide, a suicide attempt, mental health struggles, trauma, and recovery. Please listen with care. 💡 Tip of the Week: Check on your people. Don't assume someone is okay simply because they look okay. And if you're the one struggling, please tell someone. You don't have to know exactly what to say. “I'm not okay, and I need help” is enough. If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

    Episode 47 – Your Money, My Money, Our Money & Fighting Fair

    Your money. My money. Our money.  There are about a million ways couples handle their finances, and this week on She Who Thrives, we’re talking about them. Joint accounts or separate? Split the bills 50/50? Should the person who earns more pay more? Should you know exactly how much money your partner has? And at what dollar amount does a purchase go from “I bought something” to “I probably should’ve talked to you first”?  We get into spenders vs. savers, financial independence, hidden debt, one-income households, stay-at-home parents, financial control, and whether something being “equal” automatically makes it fair. Then we switch topics and get into fighting fair. Every relationship has disagreements. The important part is what happens when you’re angry, hurt, frustrated, or convinced that you are absolutely right.  We talk about yelling, name-calling, bringing up the past, taking timeouts, going to bed angry, the silent treatment, apologizing, admitting when you’re wrong, involving friends and family, and learning how to work through a problem without treating your partner like the enemy. Because healthy relationships aren’t relationships where two people never fight. They’re relationships where two people learn how to disagree while still respecting each other. 💡 Tip of the Week: Your relationship isn’t a competition. Figure out what works for the two of you, communicate honestly, and remember that you’re on the same team. You can be angry and still be respectful. You can disagree and still listen. And when conflict happens, fight the problem, not the person you love.

    Episode 46 – Meet Adam: The Man Behind Mindi

    You’ve heard Mindi talk about Adam for 45 episodes, now it’s finally his turn to tell his side of the story. This week on She Who Thrives, Mindi’s husband Adam joins us in the hot seat! We’re going all the way back, talking about Adam’s childhood, what shaped him, how he and Mindi met, his first impression of her, falling in love, marriage, fatherhood, family, work, success, and what matters most to him at this stage of life. Of course, Kaytlen and Harrisen weren’t going to let him get away without answering some of the questions we REALLY wanted to know like: What’s the hardest part about being married to Mindi? Who’s more stubborn? Who apologizes first? What does she do that drives him crazy? What does he think women misunderstand about men? And after everything they’ve been through together, would he marry her all over again?  It’s funny, personal, a little sentimental, and gives you a chance to finally get to know the man you’ve heard so much about. 💡 Tip of the Week: Stop expecting your partner to read your mind. Communicate what you need, listen to each other, and remember you’re on the same team. Good relationships aren’t about never disagreeing, they’re about continuing to choose each other through every season.

    Episode 45 – Moms, Can We Talk About the Mental Load Of August & Early September?

    Moms, how many tabs are currently open in your brain?  This week on She Who Thrives, we're talking about the invisible mental and emotional load of motherhood and why August and early September can feel like absolute chaos. From school schedules, sports, appointments, carpools, lunches, homework, forms, and a million different apps to worrying about whether our kids are happy, struggling, making friends, or getting enough attention. There's a LOT happening inside Mom's head that the rest of the family may never even see. We talk about mom guilt, over scheduling our kids, asking for help, the difference between a partner "helping" and actually sharing responsibility, and why moms sometimes snap over something completely insignificant when they're already mentally overloaded. We also dive into therapy and how valuable it can be for moms to have a place to work through stress, anxiety, guilt, expectations, relationships, and the emotional weight that comes with taking care of everyone else. And we're asking an important question: Do our kids really need us to create a magical childhood, or do they simply need us to be present? 💡 Tip of the Week: Stop believing you have to carry everything just because you're capable of carrying it. Ask for help, let some shit go, and remember your kids don't need a perfect mom. They need a present one.
