Send a textHappy 1 year Podcastaversary to me! I am so grateful for all the listeners support and interviews I've done and can't believe it's been a year already since the first published episode! In this episode, I reflect on the begining of the podcast but also the beginning of my mariner's partner journey as well as general skills and events that seemed so hard and now are second nature.  Reflecting on ways you can continue to grow and push yourself out of your comfort zone into something that is hard now but will be second nature later.  Keep listening for an update on what's ahead the rest of this year and when we plan to return with new episodes in 2025! Shop small this year at https://shopsmallholiday.com/ I know Amazon is so easy and convenient and this year I'm trying to make an effort to find unique and caring gifts that also support small businesses.  This is an awesome directory of 188 (and growing) small businesses that all have unique products and deals going on.  Take a min and find that special gift for the hard to shop for person on your list or search for something you're dying to get someone...maybe it's here with a coupon and a personalized touch you don't get from the big box stores.  Happy shopping!

Send a textHappy Summer! We are bringing this raw and real conversation to you b/c we still haven't found a platform for recording that will allow me to have intros and outros and all that and this conversation was too good to keep until it was the "right time".  It's summer and I'm flying solo with the kids till Mid July so here we go.  Thank you for rolling along with me. I couldn't hold this one back though b/c it was so fun to chat with Grace Miller from https://agwrites.com about her journey through her many different careers and how she ultimately faced what was holding her back from her true passion of writing all these years.  We chit chat like girlfriends about what you do because you think you "should" and how your passions slip in whenever possible and how great is it to make them a reality and a career.  Even if you've never thought of writing a book or you are working on your masterpiece as we speak, you will enjoy this conversation.  We are all seeking to have passion in what we do, right? Do you have a book idea or creative writing passion? Check out Grace's website for so much support in so many areas! She's writting two books sold on Amazon and continues to have ideas and loves working with so many creatives.     Did you know I have a website?

Send a textJoin me in a beautiful discussion with Cathy Sullivan, Certified Women's Health & Wellness Coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition & 200 Hour yoga teacher as we discuss self care and brain decluttering on a deeper level.  How do you navigate the chaos in your brains when you’re over stimulated? How can you carve out time for yourself but also keeping the space in our mind open and not feeling like we had to fill it?  Answers to these questions and more are just a click away. We discuss many topics as well such as how to transition our lives back to a place of self awareness and self care with the swinging door of our spouse. Decluttering the mind and advice on how to get back to the time “before kids” and finding the part of ourselves when we used to take care of ourselves. What happens when you look around at your life in a “wellness 360 practice” tips on how to incorporate small steps into the busyness of your life so you can feel it have an impact and much more!

Send a textWell, I had a plan for today but Mother Nature had her own set of plans and we all know who won.  In today's solo episode, I give you my thoughts and a few examples of how flexibility and rolling with the unexpected, while necessary, can take it's toll....yet we still have beauty and joy ahead if we can just trust in the journey. Happy January and stay tuned next week when we're back to our regularly scheduled interviews. **Trigger warning, I do reference miscarriage so a heads up if that's not something you'd like to hear.

This was a great conversation about her experience as a Merchant Mariner Wife and mom and how she balances her personal well-being and the responsibilities of being a supportive partner. If you're looking for some support in the new year, this is a great episode to listen to and get to know Johana. Maybe she's the right coach for you in 2024!

Send a textJumping on off schedule to share how things are going at the end of this school vacation week, coming off of Christmas and going into the new year! Join me for some after kid's bedtime ramblings and feel less alone this holiday season if your kids are missing their dad this time of year and you're ready to burn it all to the ground and tear your hair out. BTW gave the kids each a $1 to find all the Christmas stuff around the house and put it on the table so I could pack it all up.  Highly recommend this added help and worth the dollar :)   Happy New Year!Let’s continue the conversation on my private Facebook Group More than a Merchant Mariner's Wife Podcast Listener Support CommunityDid you know I have a website?
