Holding Space For Two Things At Once

4/12/2024
In today's episode, Britany celebrates one year of motherhood under her belt AND the end of her breastfeeding journey. She reflects on what she's learned over the course of the year as a mom and celebrates the wins without forgetting to b*tch about the hardness of it all... because it IS hard. We are allowed to admit that. You can love being a mom while simultaneously thinking it's the hardest thing you've ever done. That shouldn't have to be said, but in today's society, it needs to be repeated over and over and over again. Cheers to one year of Blake - time to deep dive into toodlerhood. Send prayers.

Today's episode is for anyone struggling with that high functioning overachiever brand of anxiety.

1/5/2024

Happiness Creates Health

12/29/2023
In this week's episode we are chatting about doing more of what we LOVE doing and less of what we think we SHOULD be doing in 2024. This discussion isn't about New Year's Resolutions or the perfect way to craft up your yearly goals.

Trying To Get It All Done Before the Holidays

12/15/2023
Let's consider this week's episode a part 2 of last week's episode about being overwhelmed with your to do list as the holidays approach. The holidays should be a time for relaxation - and they will be - but if you're like Britany, that means tackling your mountain of a to do list head first. Because even though you can do all the things after the holidays, you won't be able to enjoy the holidays if you have a long to do list at work. This is a reminder to not succumb to hustle culture but if you need to work a few more hours this week so that you can actually enjoy the holidays...maybe you do it?

Prioritizing You (NOT Your To Do List) During Your Free Time

12/8/2023
If you spend your free time doing things like laundry, cleaning, hair washing instead of truly enjoyable tasks, this episode is for you! Britany chats about how easy it is to spend "me" time doing things that are either standard necessary practices OR spending "me" time doing things for others. Washing your hair doesn't count as self care - being clean is a basic human need. And worrying about the baby's schedule or what to make to dinner doesn't qualify as a relaxing hour on the couch. This episode is about finding time to do things that make YOU happy for no one other than yourself.

Thick Thighs Save Lives

12/1/2023
This episode is about coming full circle and finally laughing about the silly arbitrary beauty standards you used to hold yourself to as a teenager (and maybe you still do sometimes). It's about celebrating your thick thighs that chafe when you walk to the mailbox and it's about celebrating going to the grocery store with your baby for the first time because that sh*t is hard. If you need a good laugh, a silly story, and a reminder that you're amazing just how you are - this is absolutely it.

Avoiding Shame Around Holiday Overeating and The Urge to Hibernate

Britany is here to help strip away the unhealthy thought patterns that can creep up for some of us around being "healthy" during the holidays and she reminds us that the only thing we need to worry about in November and December is enjoying the cookies, moving your body more days than not, and being thankful for all the good that exists in our lives.

This podcast is for you if you want to laugh about relationships, learn about why you should sleep train your baby (if you want to!)...and hear about creating a graham cracker Halloween costume from scratch...

Feeling Confident When You Don't Love Your Body

10/13/2023
Have you ever struggled to love what you see in the mirror? We all have those days we don't love what our bodies look like. And today's episode is about how to stay positive despite that. It's not about faking confidence, it's about being a bit nicer to yourself even if you have extra weight, flab, rolls, cellulite or whatever it is that makes you feel uncomfortable in your body. Britany doesn't preach to "love yourself no matter what" nor does she believe in reciting BS affirmations that just feel like lies you repeat to yourself. This podcast is about looking your body insecurities in the eye and saying "i see you, i respect you, but you do not get to define me, my thoughts and my life." If you don't love your body right now, this podcast is to remind you that better days are ahead...and they are probably closer than you think.
