The Family Grove

Apparently, recording a podcast with three granddaughters on International Day of Play was either a brilliant idea… or a slightly chaotic one. Honestly, probably both.This week’s Family Grove episode started with a few questions about baby brother Jameson, who is due to arrive any day now.What followed?Big opinions.Wild predictions.Unexpected wisdom.Lots of laughter.And exactly zero shortage of personality.These girls shared what they hope Jameson will be like, what they want to teach him, family adventures they can’t wait to have, and a few messages for their baby brother before he’s even born.It’s sweet.It’s silly.It’s heartfelt.And it’s a little snapshot of childhood that we’ll treasure forever.

Last week, I sat down with Lindsey a brilliant, resilient, hilarious human who has faced epilepsy, brain surgeries, identity shifts, mental health struggles, and more plot twists than most people could imagine before 30.And somehow?She still sparkles.We talk about what it’s like to rebuild yourself over and over again… how humor can coexist with grief… and why being “different” isn’t something to hide from — it might actually be your magic.This conversation is tender, funny, honest, hopeful, and deeply human.There are tears.There are giggles.There are moments where your nervous system may whisper:“same.”And honestly?That’s kind of the point around here.Because sometimes the strongest people are the ones still finding ways to laugh in the middle of the unraveling.

Creativity is the expression of the soul — and it’s healing.In this episode, I’m joined by intuitive art guide Nadine of Artful Dreamers Studio. Together, we explore art journeys, painting from the heart, and what happens when we let go of expectation and trust the creative process.This conversation is for anyone who’s ever said, “I’m not creative,” yet feels a quiet pull toward expression, play, and inner restoration.Take a breath.Listen in.Your creativity knows the way.Follow Nadine at https://www.artfuldreamers.com/
