Episode #377
What started as a family trip to Lancaster to replace our 22-year-old quilt turned into one of those unexpectedly GREAT days. There was a seven-minute quilt purchase, my mom spending some actual money on HERSELF (much...
Episode #376
It's about time we give ourselves some friggin' credit! We get so used to everything we've done, created, and built that we forget none of it was always there. A home, a career, a business, a family. All of it came from...
Episode #375
Today's episode is a little different. It's a short meditation about letting go of the need to know what's coming. Frankly, none of us love uncertainty. Spontaneity, maybe. But uncertainty can be scary. Today's...
Episode #374
Today is a bit of a hard episode. I’m not going to sugar-coat it. Today is about the passing of my dear rabbi, Michelle Pearlman. It’s hard to get beyond the grief and the feeling that this can’t be — that this...
Episode #373
Today I share about the twins’ first college visit. I kind of can’t believe I’m starting this process all over again — but you know I love it! I would go on any college tour, any time! The day takes some interesting...
Episode #371
I've done an episode about Rosh Hashanah every year — and, yes, I know it's not actually Rosh Hashanah by the time you're listening to this. But the timing doesn't really matter. One of the themes of the holiday is to...
Episode #370
Sometimes you need someone to remind you what things could look like on the other side. It’s not that we try to operate with blinders on, but sometimes we do. So, I always appreciate a shift in perspective. Even when...
Episode #369
Today I share a bit more about our trip to the Finger Lakes but, really, today is all about expectations. What is my life with Andy, the most active man on the planet, going to look like when it’s just us?? Are we going...
Episode #368
Thanks so much for listening! I love helping people change (and improve!) their perception of their lives -- aka find more JOY. Here are links that I mention in the show!! Create the Life You Love Living Retreat (for...
Episode #367
Life got so busy I almost forgot to tell you about Vermont! Vermont is a funny place for me — it’s my home, it’s a place my kids feel is very much their second home, and yet, in many ways, I’m still a fish out of water...
Episode #366
Today I share an update -- about Ben, me, and life in general. I think my rambling is getting worse, friends. At this point, some episodes are so all over the map that I’m not even sure how to write a summary. Thanks so...
Episode #365
I've been toying with the idea of going back to school. I have a little PTSD from getting my master's over twenty years ago, so I'm not exactly sure what “school” would even look like this time around. But I'm...
Episode #364
I shared all the details of Ben’s move-in on Tuesday. But how am I actually doing (because it’s all about me, right??). If you need the CliffsNotes version because you can’t wait to listen to the episode: Ben is so...
Episode #363
So, this is it, friends! No, don't freak out — I'm not ending the podcast, but the move is here. Ben has officially moved to Rochester (land of 90 inches of snow — no exaggeration — look it up!), and life will never be...
Episode #362
My dear friend Caitlin hit the nail on the head when she said, 'Your mother is a freakin' icon!' Well, there you have it folks -- I am the daughter of an icon. I think you'll just have to listen to today's episode to...
Episode #361
Well, it's not actually my birthday. As you are listening to this, my birthday was a few weeks ago. I am sorry -- there's no way for me to write and record in actual real time. But, today's episode is about my birthday...
Episode #360
What mom wants their kid to suffer or struggle? I don't know many. But where is that line between supporting your kids and taking over? I have no clue because I probably cross it daily. But I'm learning...maybe I can...
Episode #359
I love getting older. I love that, at this point, I know myself pretty well. I even know what my nervous system needs. Sometimes I forget -- like when I make a doctor's appointment way too early in the morning. But, at...
Episode #358
From California we fly west! To Hawaii! Middle seat again. Hawaii brought up lots of childhood memories, too. And the Dole Whip at the Dole Plantation was probably worth the flight. Thanks so much for listening! I love...
Episode #357
Today I share a bit more about our time in California. Driving south to Monterey brought up all these memories of time with my parents in Monterey, Carmel, and then San Simeon (home of Hearst Castle). Memory is funny...
