| Date | Episode | Topics | Guests | Brands | Places | Keywords | Sponsor | Length | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9/3/26 | An Icon! | My dear friend Caitlin hit the nail on the head when she said, ’Your mother is a freakin’ icon!’ Well, there you have it folks -- I am the daughter of an icon. I think you’ll just have to listen to today’s episode to learn why! | 12m 02s | ||||||
| 9/1/26 | It's My Birthday! | Well, it’s not actually my birthday. As you are listening to this, my birthday was a few weeks ago. I am sorry -- there’s no way for me to write and record in actual real time. But, today’s episode is about my birthday -- 47 -- and, spoiler, a key lime pie! | 11m 54s | ||||||
| 8/27/26 | Learning to Sit Back. | What mom wants their kid to suffer or struggle? I don’t know many. But where is that line between supporting your kids and taking over? I have no clue because I probably cross it daily. But I’m learning...maybe I can sit back just a bit! | 9m 17s | ||||||
| 8/25/26 | My Nervous System! | I love getting older. I love that, at this point, I know myself pretty well. I even know what my nervous system needs. Sometimes I forget -- like when I make a doctor’s appointment way too early in the morning. But, at least I know! | 9m 43s | ||||||
| 8/20/26 | And Now Flying a Little Further West! | From California we fly west! To Hawaii! Middle seat again. Hawaii brought up lots of childhood memories, too. And the Dole Whip at the Dole Plantation was probably worth the flight. | 13m 24s | ||||||
| 8/18/26 | Traveling Old Footsteps. | Today I share a bit more about our time in California. Driving south to Monterey brought up all these memories of time with my parents in Monterey, Carmel, and then San Simeon (home of Hearst Castle). Memory is funny, isn’t it? Mine can be hazy and blotchy. But it’s telling what our minds latch onto. | 14m 41s | ||||||
| 8/13/26 | Time to Wear Flowers in Your Hair! | Today I share some stories from the start of our family trip in San Francisco. I honestly travel with a very funny crew -- from Andy, who likes to ’pump up the crowd’ by playing songs related to our destination weeks in advance, to Alexander, who’s worried he’s going to lose too much weight on our trip because we do so much walking. I can’t tell you how many times I ask myself, “How did I get here??” But it’s been a great few days! | 13m 12s | ||||||
| 8/11/26 | It's Almost Time! | As I write today’s episode, I’m on a plane headed to California with my crew (middle seat -- I always get the middle seat!), but I’m really thinking about how much time is left before Ben leaves. In fact, by the time you’re listening to this, it will be his last week home. It’s all just crazy and surreal. Today, I kick off the start of this two-week trip and spend a little time grappling with the change that’s coming. I don’t really feel ready. I am definitely not a grown-up yet, so how could my child possibly be leaving for college?? | 10m 00s | ||||||
| 8/6/26 | What Does Your Rich Life Look Like? | What does your rich life look like? I love this question. Not what will you do someday when you have more money, but what kind of life do you actually want to create? Today, we’re talking money, budgets, and soap presses -- no joke!! | 8m 27s | ||||||
| 8/4/26 | What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?? | What do you want to be when you grow up? I kind of love that question. Little kids’ answers are the absolute best — firetruck might still be my favorite. But somewhere along the way, that question starts feeling a little more stressful. Today, let’s talk about why maybe we’re asking the wrong question and what we might ask instead! | 9m 58s | ||||||

| 7/30/26 | Oh So Lucky! | Does luck exist? I love the word luck — it makes me think of rainbows, leprechauns, and little pots of gold — but I’m not sure I actually believe in it. Today, I share a week full of minor disasters that somehow made me feel incredibly lucky. Was it luck? Or was it something else entirely? | 12m 23s | ||||||
| 7/28/26 | Did He or Didn't He?? | I know -- you’ve been waiting with bated breath. Did Ben actually come to the beach?? I know the last five days of waiting have been torture -- but the wait is over! I reveal the answer in probably the first minute of this episode because I hate suspense. I can’t handle it. So, don’t worry, you won’t have to wait very long! | 10m 43s | ||||||
| 7/23/26 | Pulling Away! | I always thought those moms who said their kids start pulling away before college were talking about their kids -- not mine. Well...they were right. Today I’m sharing the story of our annual beach trip, which, spoiler alert, ends on a true cliffhanger! | 12m 15s | ||||||
