This is Nicole's first solo episode.

In this episode, Kel talks about the highlights of what the podcast has given her these past three years and why she's calling this one her last one... It's bittersweet and I'm going to miss so many things, but I'm so ready to see what lies ahead both for me and whatever Nicole does with this show.

Welp, the holidays are officially upon us. In this upbeat episode they dive into holidays with adult/older kids, keeping traditions alive, but also when to let a few go.  We want to connect!

Last week Kel turned 46 and celebrated in some unconventional ways. She shares why it was so important for her to do it and how this past year led to this point.

Sometimes we draw a line to delineate a boundary - this is what I need/can't do for my personal health.  And sometimes we draw a line saying "Nope. No more. I won't go on. I won't be vulnerable in this area. I'm good here no matter what. I will die on this hill." Nicole tells the story of an old friend who recently talked about that "not crossing this line of vulnerability" experience and how it played out in their life. Keli talks about her struggle with financial stubbornness and her...

First of all... That halftime show. I mean, we can't NOT talk about it. Sorry if you're over it. WE WILL NEVER BE OVER IT! Then we talk about our defense mechanisms of not wanting to see ourselves or even others at times.  How do we let down our defenses to find some GD freedom? Oh baby. It's getting hot in hurrrr.

Keli spent the week caring for little people and comes back with some realizations/revelations. Nicole had a flashback of young mothering and the ugly mom snuck up on her over a decade later.  We had our moments of "ohhh GIRL, we SEE you. And we saw ourselves.

In this special episode, Keli shares a significant part of her story. During the past couple of years on the podcast, she has mentioned her estranged relationship with her mother, and today she shares how that decision evolved over time. She tells about when she realized that in order to have a healthy relationship with her own daughter, she would need to take a step back from her mother so they could both heal. It is a raw and vulnerable story that most people will relate to in some way,...

We are learning that the absolute gift of Being Seen in our relationships can be life changing. One of the most crucial areas of life that we can be seen in is motherhood. Whether that is being seen by our partner/co-parent, our children, fellow mothers... it all makes a huge impact.  One of the most challenging things that has happened in the evolution of modern, western mothers is losing the Ethels to our Lucys. We dive into that and a lot more in this episode.    We want to...

Nicole and Keli start a series on Being Seen. In this first episode, among a lot of other random things, they talk about what it means to them to "Be Seen" by others. Is it even a good thing? Crap, more vulnerability. Nothanks.  Future episodes will dive deeper into what being seen looks like in different areas of our life, so this is a general overview of the concept. And some good chit chat. :)   We want to connect! Find Nicole and Keli on social media by visiting Instagram and...
