Close your eyes tight enough and I bet you could even imagine you're in the third row of my van, Chick Fil A fries crunching under your feet, a rogue bottle dripping milk onto your lap...

The blind lead the blind on today's episode! Mostly tongue in cheek, but hopefully some of the advice and experiences I share here will help you or someone in your circle. Susan Peterson told me the work/life balance is a sham...she was right.
Public settings, crowds, general population: all things my parents avoided while I grew up. I decide to buck tradition and take my kids to the greatest tradition of all...THE PARADE!
An update of sorts as well as my thoughts on embracing a changing body...again and again!
Let's take all the pressure and schedules out of this summer! This year, try to be more intentional and lower all expectations. Fall can have the deadlines and plans and busy-ness and Winter can have all the travel and plans and parties..leave Summer to the sun!
A mixture of Whitney Port and Rachel Zoe and Anna Wintour and Martha Stewart would be my dream job.

Truly I want to work more styling tips into my podcast so buckle up your Gucci loafers and settle in..
This one is a little smattering of everything going on in my over-stimulated, under-nourished brain! Blame it on the caffeine or the Zoloft, but I'm on a role today sharing some mems and stories and thoughts on how to get famous (ish)
I just returned from my first gals only vacay! We went to Phoenix AZ and I'm sharing a couple trip tips in this episode. If you think you don't deserve it, you DO and if you already know you deserve it, share this episode with someone who needs to hear it!
PS Flying Alleg*ant wasn't the nightmare you all think it is...pay $40 for a plane ticket and just suck it up!
Today's episode is an introduction to how I learned to navigate grief and suffering, through loss of a loved one. This is a heavy topic and can bring up some sensitive subject matter, so please proceed with caution.
This is the prologue, so be prepared for a few more episodes to come!
The week is halfway over but I am no where NEAR done ranting about Love is Blind, Target Delivery, my poor sick husband,* and the idiots who order their drinks with NO ICE.
*I had to add an oxford comma to differentiate my husband from the Iceless Idiots.
Today I'm A-ing a couple Q's you guys sent in! We talk about the shock of first time motherhood, rocky relationships with parents and whether or not to leave that long-term bf! I'm zero percent qualified and 100% delusional so take this advice with a pebble of ice...
I attempt to give a little bit of fashion advice, how to style new items, and the sweetest thing my best friend said to me. As usual, I chat about junior high memories and those stories that make me snort Diet Coke out of my nose.

I wish I could hug you all and hold your babies and let you take a shower and get a pedicure and bring you Kneader's soup. Honor yourself, honor the moment, honor the phases. I also wax a bit nostalgic and recount my first job and the stigma of walking down a busy highway wearing a sandwich board...
Let's skip down memory lane for this one. I love telling stories and my highschool career has no shortage in that department. We all have that recurring nightmare about high school, but I got to live mine!
I recap my first day of work, the last day of my windshield wiper's life, and the power struggle between the Magic Kingdom and My Savings Account.

Spilling the most lukewarm of all the tea. I learned very few tangible lessons from this experience but hopefully you'll read between the lines and realize all I wanted to do was talk about my Neverfull!
A couple stories sprinkled in with my take on The Cut's article about "the rules of society". I have a few rules of my own, specifically regarding sushi and stuff I expect you to give me. Also I dropped $350 on hair extensions and my life was never the same..
Here is the article: https://www.thecut.com/article/tipping-rules-etiquette-rules.html
Whether you're a Brady bunch or a Kardashian empire you know families love hard and (sometimes) fight harder. Your Auntie has a big mouth and your brother-in-law will always try to push your buttons and that's why I'm here to help you deal with it ALL! My motto is literally say less and you're about to hear why...
My big sister Alyse is on the podcast today! We chat a little about our 00's era memories, spooky mems, Popeyes Quality Control, our signature Bath and Body Works scents, and Alyse shares what it's like to live on a 5th generation potato farm in Idaho. Next time you drive thru Mcdonald's for your beverage, you might just want some fries too!
Today's eppy is all about ways I've changed and little gems of wisdom I've learned since being in High School. I had a little tickle in my throat so excuse the occasional cough..my editor thinks it's more raw to leave them in! (It's me, I'm the editor)
Marriage and family therapist, Marie Biddle, shares her wisdom and experience with us all today! Her words are pure gold so you'll definitely want to take notes. I've known Marie since I was a teen living in suburban Seattle, and to have her in my court for the past decade has been such a blessing. Consider this your official introduction...you can thank me later in an hour and a half.
You shared some of your ideas and comments when it comes to serving others. I'm a huge believer that even the smallest acts can have a big big impact! Today I'm sharing a few of those ideas and hope you're inspired to serve within your own circle.
A solo episode today! Our daily routines and schedules probably look so different than yours but that's what makes them so beautiful! We've found what works- even in the craziness- and hope you can too.
So much wisdom and experience packed in a little recording studio. This conversation could have lasted all night long! Paris Tews and Lori Allred freely bestow advice and anecdotes that truly I'd pay top dollar for. It's a long one, and worth every single moment.
My little sis and I sit down and recount our memories from college. If you think we were talking about you we probably were!!! Count this as my formal apology for any who feel they were poorly represented. Marit will certainly be back!
What could go wrong in a little farm town, with a curfew and a dress code and 15,000 other Latter-day Saints? Here's part one of the absolute CIRCUS that is my college experience.
