Yes, I did go away for quite some time. I'm sorry about that. But I am BACK baby and I'm so excited to be back in the ears of my besties. On this episode I give you an update on my life - where I've been and where I'm at right now, and then we dive into some of the most popular skin care hacks I can find on the internet. Are these tips actually valid? Should we trust the internet? Never fear - I debunk these hacks to tell you what's fact and what's cap. LET'S. GET. INTO. IT.

This here episode blew my mind.. really though. It opened me up to so many new ways of thinking. I loved it so much. Today we are diving into Bailey's experience being pregnant and then deciding to give birth at home.. AT HOME people!!! I cannot wait to for you guys to hear this. This is a gal that made a Tired, Fat, and Sad moment change into a time of self love and empowerment. LET'S DO THIS. 

Marriage is such a trip.. It's SO MUCH FUN and so much work and so much negative and so much positive and so many shirtless back tickles and you get to experience it ALL with your bestie. At least, I hope you marry your bestie. If that's not the case then don't marry the fool. Today I sit down with some of my other besties, besides my hubs of course, Chris and McCall Manning. I kid you not, they are some of the greatest people to walk the earth. Buckle up because we are playing one of my most favorite games to play, The Newlywed Game. How fun would it be to play along with us?... Go ahead and do that. Let's get into it. 

What else makes us feel more tired and sad then being a new parent?.. I'll wait.. Guys being a new parent is extremely hard and I wanted to get the perspective of new dads particularly because I feel like their voices aren't shared as much as they should be. I'm just really passionate about hearing from both sides of the parenting game so HERE WE ARE! Today I'm chatting with one of our long time friends Scott Jensen about his experience being a new dad. It's a good one guys. Also, if you haven't listened to the first episode in this series head on back to season one episode 9 where I chat with my hubby about this same topic. Let's get into it. 

Let's welcome back season two with a short and sweet episode explaining where I've been and what is to come for this wonderful podcast. I so appreciate your patience with me and can't wait to dive in to Season Two. Here. We. Go.

I so hope you are feeling the joy of this season and that life is treating you well. Also, heads up friends - I'm taking a break from posting for the rest of the year. Have an amazing holiday season and get ready for more episodes starting back up In January! Love you all!

One thing that has been SO important for both Riley and I to understand in our marriages is our individual love languages! Learning how we feel most loved and how we show love to others has made a big impact on our overall happiness within our relationship. Let's chat about the Five Love Languages and push our relationships to new levels. BOOOOM.

For today's holiday episode I wanted to keep it simple and sweet! Riley and I both looked up some hilarious and disastrous Thanksgiving stories that had us rolling :) Hold those you love close and think of all you're grateful for.

I want everyone listening to know how amazing they are and how important it is to create the life THEY want. I could talk about this for days but I really hope it resonates with at least one of you. This is for all my people - so you can STOP feeling so Tired Fat and Sad :) 

Man... love and sex and relationships?! How does anyone know where to even begin with this stuff? This week my husband Riley and I answer some of the most googled relationship questions and we get in deep. It was fun to see our differences of opinions on certain things and we just had ourselves a good and entertaining chat! 

In my life, I have never felt more tired, fat, and sad at the same time, then when I was PREGNANT! I'm telling you what guys, pregnancy is no joke and I was not prepared. Don't get me wrong, there are SO many amazing and beautiful things about being pregnant and there are so many out there who CRAVE getting pregnant but unfortunately are unable to. I really am so grateful I was able to experience it. Man that shiz is tough. I wanted to start a series to get different perspectives on pregnancy to help those who are searching for answers when it comes to this crazy unique time in life. Today I sit down with one of my besties and she takes us through her pregnancy journey - It's a good one guys! 

We have finally arrived to the holiday season of 2020 people. This monstrosity of a year is finally coming to a close and I say, let's FREAKING KILL IT. Today my beautiful husband and I read some spooky stories for some Halloween fun. Have the best Halloween ever guys. Be safe.

These are the REAL life moments that this podcast is all about. I can't wait for you all to hear this one :) 

Single moms... just HOW?!?!? How in the heck do you do it? I have so much respect for single moms and all that is on their shoulders so I wanted to sit down with one and get the tea. Kari Ann Sewell is now married, but was a single working mom for a LONG time. She's got so many good tips for how to thrive if you are a single bad ass momma or just a person in general, so LISTEN UP PEOPLE.

When my skin is out of wack on my face I find myself feeling Fat and Sad more often. This episode isn't just for the ladies my friends, this episode is for EVERYONE. Who doesn't want a new way to really just pamper yourself? Taking care of your skin is so important but it is really only marketed to women when in reality, men really need to take care of their skin as well. If you've ever wanted to start your skin care journey, this episode is for you. Me and the GORGEOUS McCall give you a beginners guide to skin care. We give you a great starting point and I hope it gets you excited about taking care of that beautiful face of yours. 

What makes a man more tired and sad than being a spouse?.. I'd say being a Dad. Oh my goodness being a parent makes you SO tired and SO sad but SOOOOO freaking happy and fulfilled all at the same time. How the heck does this happen you may ask? Well, have a kid, and you'll understand :) In this episode I sit down with my handsome hubby and ask him all about being a new Dad. We go through the process from deciding to be a Dad, to pregnancy, to labor and delivery, to bringing the babe home.. ALL THE THINGS! Hopefully the new Dads out there can relate and the soon to be new Dads can get a bit of info about what they are getting into! 

What makes us feel tired and sad... hmm.. career and work? Ummm YES! Making a passion or hobby into a career is something SO many people are looking to do, but unfortunately it's not always that easy and sometimes we just do NOT have the patience or the drive to make it happen for ourselves. But if you're someone who's wanting to STEP IT UP and turn your passion into something that brings in that MONEY then this episode is for YOU! Zoey White is one of my dearest friends and also one of the people I know that is making dollars doing something she LOVES and something she has always loved. I pick her brain to figure out how she did it, and let me tell you, there are some GOLD NUGGETS in this episode. Get ready to feel motivated as hell!      

One of my favorite ways to get through the Tired, Fat, and Sad moments in my life is honestly just to laugh about it. It's the one thing that helps my mood genuinely change. Here's a lighthearted episode to make you LAUGH and hopefully realize life for you, isn't too shabby. I mean unless you're one of these people.. then we feel for you. Wyatt Johnson and I read some CRAZY ridiculous relationship stories that we found online and may or may not have shared some of our own stories as well! Get ready to laugh my people.. and laugh good. 

On this episode, my Mom and I are talking all things hair care. We go over tips and tricks to keep your hair looking FLY and we also chat about products that you will love. Hair can make a HUGE impact on how we feel about our own self image and honestly, why not give yourself some love when you're feeling "fat" and take care of your hair? Make It a process to show yourself you love yourself! 

Friends - would you say you are the video GAMER or the video game VICTIM?! In my experience with couples (which is VAST if I must say) usually there is one person in the relationship who is DOWN to play when it comes to video games and one person who cannot understand the idea of sitting down for HOURS playing a stupid game that brings no value!!! Sound familiar? Well it certainly does to me and my husband. Nothing makes me sadder than the moments when I want some cuddles, but I can't get them because Ry is playing video games. In this episode we talk about our journey to find some peace when it comes to this subject! Hopefully you can get something out of this too :) 

I know there are those weirdos out there who enjoy working out, but I myself am not one of those people. Yes, I did call them weirdos but damnit I want to be like them. We all know how important it is to move our bodies and get work outs in, but when you're laying in bed, or even putting your work out gear on, how many of us justify NOT working out? I'm too comfy, my ass hurts.. etc. This episode is for us. I sit down with my dear old Dad and we share some tips on how to find a love for fitness. Hopefully this helps you in your TIRED moments as much as it helps me!
