Welcome to episode 188 with Jennifer Pepito and Lindsey Maestas. This episode is all about marriage.

Welcome to episode 183 with Katy Joy Wells! Katy is a decluttering coach who took her holistic training and used it to help women declutter their lives. This is a fantastic episode about what clutter does to our brain, the traps we commonly fall into that keep us holding on to an extra mason jar, the scrap bag of fabrics, or the almost empty pens "just in case" or "for an emergency." For Katy, her life started changing when she realised the clutter around the house was holding her back from being present for her...

Welcome to episode 178! Work is essential for things like hand-eye coordination, a sense of self-esteem and belonging in children, and a core building block for future success. How do we build this habit, though, without destroying childhoods, derailing parent-child relationships, or raising children who hide when they see us coming for fear of being tasked with work. Jennifer takes you through the work and life of "Ma Moody" to discover keys to raising children who love work, who want to work with you, and building good habits without taking away from a child's ch...
