The Peachy Life

Mac from "Healthy Little Peach"

Do you ever get frustrated with all the fake reels on Instagram? Yeah, me too! Here at The Peachy Life Podcast, I'm dedicated to bring you real life and not just the perfect moments you see on social media. Here we will discuss self-love, motherhood, marriage, mental health, PCOS, weight loss, weight gain, careers, friendships and all the moments in between. I've never been a gal that feels totally comfortable in my own skin. It's been quite the journey of finding myself and loving who I am. I want to share all the ups and downs of real life and real struggle. Additionally, I want to encourage each of you to follow your dreams. A few years ago I was able to leave my teaching job of 10 years to become a full time food blogger. I built Healthy Little Peach, a health and recipe blog that has grown bigger than I could have ever imagined. Through hard work and dedication I was able to turn my passion into a full time career. The truth is, if I would have stuck in my "comfort zone" I would have never found my true potential and purpose. Not only was I able to leave my job, but my husband was able to leave his full-time job in healthcare to join my business two years later. Hard work and dedication can take you wonderful places if you believe in yourself and push the boundaries.

    Episode 10: The Importance of Setting Boundaries

    In this episode, we dive deep into personal boundaries and why they are vital in order for us to thrive and be in healthy relationships. Having them in place allows us to communicate our needs and desires clearly without fear of repercussions. It is also used to set limits so that others don’t take advantage of us or are allowed to hurt us. It is a way for us to practice self-care and self-respect. Additionally, we discuss the difference between expectations vs. boundaries. Expectations are assumptions we have for others that seem to always let us down. Instead of building expectations and assumptions, it's much healthier to build boundaries and rules for what we will tolerate and what we want.  Live your life and stop trying to people please. You will never find happiness if you are always worried about what others think of you and your decisions. Live for what YOU WANT!

    Episode 02: They Called Me Fat

    When you were a kid or teenager did you have a hard time fitting in? Were you searching for love and attention without ever finding it? Were you pushed to the side? Did you feel lost and unheard? Me too! In episode 02, I really dive into my childhood/teenage struggles. I remember hearing society telling me to be myself, but once I was, they told me to be something different. I learned real quick that people only “love” you if your exterior looked a certain way. In my mind, I was convinced that in order to even be considered a good person or worthy of love, I had to be skinny with long hair and cute clothes.  The exhausting feeling of being "good enough" was one that lingered in my mind most of my life. Do you know the feeling I'm talking about? The one that makes you itch because you hate the skin you're in? I get it. I not only have felt it, but I still have days where those dark feelings creep back into my mind. Will society accept me today?Am I pretty enough today?Will they notice and love me today?The purpose of this episode is to make you feel a little less alone and like you’ve been heard. I’m also excited for you all to learn more about me on a human level. We ALL struggle or have struggled and it’s so healing to be able to share. Hopefully we can all learn to love each other without judging the exterior first.
