In this episode, I’m reflecting on something that feels tender and universal: asking for what we need. After attending a local women-in-business conference, I was reminded of how quick we are to give support — and how slow we are to ask for it. I share what came up for me in that room full of women, and how it’s reshaping the way I think about mothering, community, and building a life that actually feels supported.
I talk about:
If you’re craving a slower pace, softer expectations, and a reminder that you’re not alone in figuring this all out — you’re in the right place.

In this episode, I fold laundry and share real thoughts about overconsumption, home décor pressure, and learning to love what we already have. From my orange kitchen cabinets to my grandmother’s well-loved furniture, this is a reflection on slowing down, spending less, and finding peace in imperfection.
**PS: Sorry for the bad audio. I think I have learned that this mic only works well when im holding it and sitting still!

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Nat for a real conversation about motherhood — the pressure to do it all, the guilt, and what it means to slow down and find balance again.
We talk about being stay-at-home moms and working moms, ADHD and executive functioning, the importance of play, and how hard it can be to ask for help or build a “village.”
It’s an honest, late-night chat — full of laughter, tangents, and truth — about letting go of perfection and choosing what really matters in motherhood.

In this episode, I talk about something that’s been on my mind for a while — the “slow motherhood” aesthetic.
You know the one: the beige tones, sourdough starters, prairie dresses, perfect light, calm toddlers, and clean kitchens. It’s beautiful, sure. But I’ve realized that’s not what slow motherhood really is — and it’s definitely not what drew me to this way of living.
I share how my own version of slow motherhood looks nothing like the photos I see online — and that’s okay. For me, slow motherhood is about living in alignment with my values, not an aesthetic. It’s about choosing rest over perfection, connection over productivity, and presence over pressure.
In this voice note, I open up about:
If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at “slow living” because your life doesn’t look like an aesthetic Instagram feed — I hope this episode feels like permission to do it your way.

In this first episode, I share why I finally started this podcast after a over a year of YouTube, blogging, and trying to keep up with what the “online gurus” say we should do. This space is my antidote to all that.
I talk about:
If you’re craving a slower pace, softer expectations, and a reminder that you’re not alone in figuring this all out — you’re in the right place.
