    Fashion & Sh!t Show Diaries: EP 1.21 Meet content creator, @livingwithSherrie !

    What starts as a fitness journey can turn into a whole new creative outlet. This week, Iowa content creator Sherrie Muggenberg joins Fashion & Sh!t Show Diaries to share how @livingwithSherrie began and why she wanted to make space for women her age online. They talk about fashion, working with brands she actually believes in, building a community, and finding time to create while working a full-time job.

    Fashion & Sh!t Show Diaries: EP 1.20 What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger: Closing One Chapter and Reinventing What’s Next

    Julia Bradshaw gets real about closing the Styled by JJ Boutique storefront, the overwhelming support she received and the emotional reality of walking away from something she built. She shares the behind-the-scenes chaos of moving inventory, learning to accept help and transforming the business through online shopping, pop-ups, the Styled Club and a brand-new app. The storefront may be closed—but Styled by JJ is far from finished.

    Fashion & Sh!t Show Diaries Ep. 1.19 — The End of an Era & the Start of Something New

    Life looks a whole lot different than it did just a few months ago. This week, Julia is joined by Tyler to talk about officially becoming empty nesters after Andrew’s move to Chicago, adjusting to a quieter house, and figuring out what this next chapter might look like. Julia also shares a major update for Styled by JJ Boutique—the decision to close the brick-and-mortar location and transition the business into its next phase. She opens up about the emotions behind the decision, the stress of running a physical storefront, what she’s learned along the way, and why this isn’t the end of the business. Plus, Julia and Tyler talk about the freedom that comes with this new season of life, whether a move out of Iowa could actually happen, their growing love for Chicago, and what happens when suddenly there’s a lot less tying you down. It’s an episode about endings, new beginnings, small business, family, marriage, and learning to embrace the unknown.

    Kaitlyn Norgaard, aka Inspired Iowan, is back on the Fashion & Sh!t Show Diaries! We’re catching up on her summer of local Iowa finds, family adventures, and the launch of her new kids-focused account, Itty Bitty Iowan. In this episode we talk DSM Glamping (bougie platform tent vibes with AC and an outdoor shower), a rainy birthday road trip that led to discovering Rooted Resplendence flower farm in Elkhart, hidden mercantiles and farm stands (Holton Homestead, Fieldside Mercantile, Choose Iowa), Iowa State Fair memories (big yellow slide, Barksdale cookies, camping chaos, and fair babies), 4-H/Clover Kids, Shelf Love author events, sports fandom, and how a summer bucket list + Skylight calendar keeps family fun intentional without needing big budgets. Kaitlyn shares the real (and funny) story of starting Itty Bitty Iowan almost overnight after a moms-group conversation, complete with a State Fair checklist freebie and practical tips for introducing kids to new experiences, manners, and screens as tools. Real talk, no filters—just good local recommendations, family life, and why being a little “nosy” is the best way to discover Iowa.
