All the Possible Paths!

Tuesday Mar 10, 2026

Today's episode is about my husband (and some advice he recently gave -- good advice!) and trees! He's not often one for emotional conversations but he really pulled through this time.

Today I share another incredible poem by poet Hannah Rosenberg from her book of poetry, 'Same.' I love this poem: Magic Disguised as Ordinary Life. More and more, I am compelled to take a breath and fully take in each moment -- even the boring ones, the ones that will never make into the memoir, the daily, the routine. Because that's magic.

Friends Who Make You Think!

Tuesday Mar 03, 2026

Tuesday Mar 03, 2026

Today's episode is about my friend, Eddy. Sometimes friendship can surprise you. I've never met Eddy in person, we communicate solely through audio messages, and yet I consider him my friend. So, today, is all about sharing some of the wisdom he's shared with me over the years.

Thursday Feb 26, 2026

Today's episode is a bit heavier because the truth is: sometimes life is grossly unfair. As much as I see so much beauty in this world, there is so much grief and suffering too. So how do we sit with both?

A Quiet Moment!

Tuesday Feb 24, 2026

Tuesday Feb 24, 2026

Yes, today's episode is about a quiet moment -- but not just any quiet moment. A very specific one -- the moment I pressed 'publish' on my book (now three years ago!). Some reflection on what it's like to sit in a moment, alone, and feel quietly content.

Let It Snow!

Thursday Feb 19, 2026

Thursday Feb 19, 2026

A snow day is a great way to determine how much of a homebody someone is! Today, I chat about homebodies (yes, that's me!), introverts/extroverts, and more! I do love how we are all wired so differently.

Snow, Birthdays, and Miracles!

Tuesday Feb 17, 2026

Tuesday Feb 17, 2026

Today's episode is all about the twins! The big snow we all experienced in much of the country coincided with the twin's birthday. As it did 15 years ago. Today, I reflect on that equally snowy day 15 years ago when two little miracles were born!

The Overexplain!

Thursday Feb 12, 2026

Thursday Feb 12, 2026

In today's episode I share another of Cara Bradley's famous 'Sparks!' This one is so good. Let's chat about how much we love to 'overexplain' our decisions and choices. Maybe today will inspire you to 'defend' a little less!

A Good Day!

Tuesday Feb 10, 2026

Tuesday Feb 10, 2026

Today's episode is about a local food packing/distribution organization -- JRA. Well, it's really about how much fun I had at a recent food packing event. This episode is replete with little girls dishing about their younger sisters and elderly Russian women kissing the twins!
