A spilled margarita and some wildly irritating under-eye patches cracked open a bigger truth: we were performing self-care while ignoring what our lives actually needed. 

So we started asking better questions. What do we want our days to look like? What do we want our kitchen cabinets to say about who we are becoming? That’s how a cabinet clean-out turned into a manifesto on curating joy—pizza on vintage plates, margaritas in teacups, and a home filled with objects that carry stories instead of dust.

We get honest about cohabitation, purging with love, and why convenience culture keeps us from choosing things that make us feel alive. The dishwasher-safe reflex meets a slow-life rebuttal: sometimes handwashing is the point. 

Then we map how mindset becomes momentum. After a year of grinding and building an abundance mindset, we finally gave ourselves what we’ve been working toward: a Q1 built for celebration. 

A women’s retreat to refill our cups. 

Family trips to Mexico and Florida with a Bahamas cruise. 

A long-overdue girls’ trip to Vegas for a birthday show. 

A true, no-work week in North Carolina. We’re not escaping real life—we’re curating it. If you’re ready to trade guilt for intention, plastic for patina, and grind for grace, this one’s for you.

If this resonates, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs permission to decorate their life, and leave a quick review so more people can find the show.

Davey Gets Rich: a Business Startup Tale Davey Mars Want to avoid a business startup disaster? Follow Davey as he does everything wrong and still builds a successful new company. I'll recap the day's wins and losses, while sharing the mindset, tools and ideas around how I keep myself on track in the midst of chaos and overcome procrastination, fear, impostor syndrome and good old laziness. Season 2 starts Jan 2nd, 2022. "I have to admit, it's getting better." Mars and Its Canals by Percival Lowell (1855 - 1916) LibriVox In the days before telescope photography, astronomers had to draw what they thought they saw through the eyepiece throughout the long dark nights. Sometimes they saw saw more than there really was to see, and a bit over 100 years ago Percival Lowell published books on what he was sure were canals on Mars, signs of intelligent civilization. (In case you too are skeptical, we also have at Librivox a criticism of Lowell's theories in a book published a year later (in 1907) by Alfred Russel Wallace.) - Summary by ToddHW Those Who Aunt The BabyMakers Auntie Mags (Dana Quercioli) and Aunt Pat (Colleen Doyle) see the world through aunt-colored glasses. And if you don’t know what that means, Mags and Pat will talk at you until you get it. From dismantling the “fun uncle” narrative, to current events and how they pertain to aunts, to debating whether Marshall’s or Kohl’s is the superior place to buy decent luggage, you’ll gain deeper insight and appreciation for the aunts in your life.
