    Running on E

    In this season's 7th episode Abbey and Kayly talk about Running on E. Most of us are running on empty more often than we realize—juggling work, family, and mental load until we hit the point of exhaustion. In this episode, nurses Abbey and Kayly share raw, relatable stories from their chaotic weeks and reveal the surprising ways they find ways to reset and keep going. You’ll discover how simple habits like preparing your clothes the night before or taking a ten-minute walk with angry music can transform your mental state. Abbey and Kayly break down the importance of recognizing when you're truly depleted—before the gas light turns on—and how to pause, breathe, and reset amid the chaos. They share powerful insights on handling stress, setting boundaries, and trusting your intuition when everything feels overwhelming. These stories aren’t just about nursing—they hit at the heart of everyday burnout and resilience everyone experiences, especially moms and caregivers. This episode is essential listening if you’ve ever felt pushed to the brink, or if you’re craving practical tips to thrive instead of just survive. Learn how to shift from running dry to refueling intentionally, with honesty, humor, and empathy. Whether you're on E right now or just looking for fresh perspective, Abbey and Kayly’s candid conversations will leave you inspired to channel your inner strength and prioritize your well-being. Perfect for busy moms, healthcare professionals, or anyone navigating a hectic season—this is your call to pause, listen, and choose self-care before you're running on fumes. Connect with the hosts:

    No One Talks About This Part of Motherhood

    Episode #6: No One Talks About This Part of Motherhood Where Abbey and Kayly talk about the hard stuff. PPD, partnership shifts, and losing yourself a little. Everyone posts the newborn photos.No one posts the identity crisis. Motherhood changes everything — including your relationship — and no one really prepares you for that part. In this raw and honest conversation, we’re talking about the side of motherhood that stays off Instagram. The mental load. The quiet anxiety. The “high-functioning struggling.” The guilt that comes with postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety — especially when you wanted this baby. Because just because you prayed for it doesn’t mean it isn’t exhausting. We unpack what postpartum really looks like emotionally — from survival mode days where everything gets done but you don’t remember how, to the shame around admitting you’re not okay. We talk about therapy — the misconceptions, the courage it takes to start, and how finding the right therapist can change everything. Healing isn’t weakness. Strong moms still need support. And then there’s marriage. We’re diving into how relationships shift after kids — why partnership feels different, why bandwidth shrinks, and why date nights don’t magically fix emotional distance. (Spoiler: conversations do.) We also talk about identity — grieving the freedom you once had while deeply loving the family you’ve built. Missing parts of your old self doesn’t mean you regret becoming a mom. It means you’re human. If you’ve ever thought,“Why does this feel harder than I expected?”“Why don’t I feel like myself?”“Why aren’t we connecting like we used to?” This episode is for you. You’re not failing at motherhood.You’re adjusting to becoming someone new.

    We might be healing...but we are still petty

    Welcome back to The Good Shift, where we heal… but first we expose ourselves. Abbey and Kayly unpack the petty things we’ve done in relationships, the texts we almost sent, and the group chats that tried to save us from ourselves. From “accidentally” liking old photos to drafting paragraphs we absolutely should’ve left in the notes app — nothing is off limits. We talk about: • The pettiest thing we’ve done (and almost done)• The friend who always says “Stand up.”• The delusional defender in the group chat• The silent friend who sends one devastating sentence• Why if three women say he’s weird… he’s weird And yes — we play “Should She Text Him?”He liked your story at 1:47am.He said “I’ve changed.”He posted “protect your peace” after causing chaos.He replied “lol” to a paragraph. Immediate answers. No mercy. But beneath the jokes is something real. Because sometimes “closure” is code for wanting one more reaction.Sometimes the group chat isn’t messy — it’s unpaid security.And sometimes peace feels better than proving a point. If your group chat says don’t do it… don’t do it.

    Life didn't get easier - You got different

    Life Didn’t Get Easier — You Got Different We’ve all heard it: “Life gets easier.” But… does it? In this episode, Abbey and Kayly unpack the myth that adulthood magically smooths everything out — and why that narrative can feel comforting, hopeful… and wildly misleading. From wishing we never had to grow up to realizing we are now the “Rugrats parents age,” this conversation moves between humor and honesty as we explore what actually changes over time. If we were 17 right now, what would feel heavier?Social media visibility that never turns off.Identity pressure.Academic anxiety. Different age. Same insecurity. We talk about how minimizing emotions — at any age — delays growth. Why teens shut down when they feel dismissed. Why adults feel invisible under pressure. And how gratitude doesn’t cancel out exhaustion. Because maybe life doesn’t get easier. This episode is for the teenager who feels too sensitive and the adult who feels too tired. For the woman who pivoted four times. For the one carrying more than she expected. For the one unlearning timelines, perfection, control, and guilt. You’re not failing.You’re evolving. The good shift isn’t ease. It’s evolution.

    This podcast is for you if....

    This podcast is for you if.....In this episode, Abbey and Kayly set the tone for what The Good Shift really is — and what it’s not. At its core, this is a podcast about personal development, identity shifts, emotional growth, and honest conversations that don’t rush healing. But we also believe growth can be funny. Reflective. Human. A little unhinged at times. We didn’t create this to be loud.We created it to be honest. This podcast is for you if you’re tired of pretending you’re fine when your world feels like it’s quietly unraveling. Not because you want sympathy — but because honesty creates connection. And vulnerability gives other people permission to say, “me too.” We talk about:• Growth without shame• Questioning what you were taught while still valuing depth• Healing without toxic positivity• Conversations that feel like exhaling• Laughing while doing the work And gently — this might not be for you if you’re looking for quick fixes, perfect answers, or surface-level positivity. We’re here for reflection. For nuance. For sitting with discomfort long enough to understand it. Because sometimes the shift you need isn’t a dramatic life overhaul — it’s a fresh perspective. You deserve to be heard. Whether that means writing into the show, having a hard conversation, or simply feeling seen when you hear our stories. If any part of this felt like a mirror — you’re exactly who we made this for.

    Love Through Seasons

    Love Through Seasons: Friendships, Marriage, and Everything Between Relationships aren’t static — they evolve. And tension doesn’t always mean something is broken. In this episode, Abbey and Kayly talk about what it really looks like to love people through changing seasons — friendships that shift, marriages that require effort over emotion, and the quiet grief of outgrowing someone when no one did anything wrong. Why do we expect relationships to stay the same when people don’t?When does distance mean decay — and when does it mean growth?What does commitment look like when feelings shift? They unpack the awkward reality of outgrowing friendships (“It’s like a breakup with no villain and no closure. Just vibes.”), the resentment that can build when someone shows up differently than you needed, and how survival mode affects the way we connect. There’s humor. There’s honesty. There’s a little chaos.Because vulnerability gives other people permission to be honest — and turns out no one’s relationship is as perfect as their pictures.
