The one who stays patient, selfless and grateful, even while running on fumes?   In this episode, Whitney connects with Andrea O'Reilly to examine the expectations mothers carry and the invisible systems shaping their lives. From the concept of the "motherhood wall" to the cultural myths we absorb without realizing it, they explore why so many women feel stretched thin, unseen and perpetually behind, even when they are doing more than enough.   Whitney reflects on how easily we internalize this strain as personal failure. Dr. O'Reilly reframes the story: what if the problem is not you, but the structure you are operating inside? Together, they challenge the myth of the endlessly self-sacrificing "Good Mother," unpack the false divide between working mothers and stay-at-home mothers, and argue for choice, agency and dignity without apology.   This conversation moves beyond coping. It offers language, context and a wider lens. You will leave feeling validated, clearer about what you are carrying, and reminded that your exhaustion is not a character flaw. Press play and step into a more truthful, compassionate narrative.   Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: What the motherhood wall is and how it impacts women beyond just career conversations How cultural norms and systemic structures shape the experience of modern motherhood Why so many moms internalize their struggles as personal failure The lasting impact of the "Good Mother" myth and unrealistic standards The importance of solidarity and community among mothers Reclaiming visibility and value for maternal labor and caregiving work An introduction to matricentric feminism and what it means for mothers today Reflection question to ponder: Is this necessary, and is this good for me and my family?   Learn more about 1:1 coaching with Whitney - book a 15-minute Spark Session   Connect with Whitney: Instagram l Website l 5 Days to Less Stress, More Satisfaction l Tend to Your Soul Toolkit l 10 Soulful Journaling Prompts | Electric Ideas Podcast   Connect with Dr. O'Reilly: In (M)other Words: Writings on Mothering and Motherhood, 2009-2024 | York University

    Hey Powerhouses! This week we're talking about what happens when you wake up and realize you're living someone else's perfect life—and what it takes to create one that actually fits. Wendy Meadows, seasoned family law attorney, former litigator, certified life coach, mediator, and author of the bestselling book Sparkling Grit, joins us to share her journey from BigLaw burnout to building a practice (and life) on her own terms.We dive into why Wendy left her firm after 13 years (spoiler: asking permission for vacation was the last straw), how Beachbody coaching taught her more about running a business than law school ever did, and why so many lawyers who go solo end up making MORE money while working fewer hours than they ever imagined. Wendy breaks down the math (yes, there's a spreadsheet), walks us through the hardest part of going solo (the breakup conversation with your partners), and explains why hiring an assistant before you think you need one is non-negotiable.We also talk about the Sparkle and Grit framework—why you need both the feminine (sparkle) and masculine (grit) energy to succeed, how to recognize burnout before you hit the wall, and why 2026 is Wendy's year of "ease." Plus, Wendy gets real about her divorce, redefining success on her own terms, and learning to let opportunities flow to her instead of grinding for them.And yes, she wore two different shoes to court.

She recently authored Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Adult Women.When Dr. Gogne became an attending, her caseload doubled overnight. She stayed late finishing notes while colleagues went home. Around the same time, she impulsively adopted a baby husky. Six years into her career, testing confirmed ADHD and NVLD, a visual-spatial learning difference that explained why she didn't drive until age 30 and why every parking lot looked identical.Now she treats pregnant and postpartum women with ADHD, addiction, and trauma. In this episode, Tracy and Dr. Gogne discuss ADHD and NVLD in adult women, how visual spatial differences show up in daily life, the overlap between trauma and addiction, the role of stimulants in recovery when carefully managed, and why pregnancy and postpartum can intensify symptoms through hormonal shifts and sleep deprivation.If you are in a season where your systems stopped working, this conversation offers context. Sometimes it feels out of control because it is out of control.

    The stats of anxiety, depression, and stress on Gen Z (ages 14-28) are scary and higher than ever before. That's not hyperbole. What have been the cultural, familial, and individual influences at work, and what can parents of Gen Alpha (ages 0-13) learn from where we find ourselves? We believe that parents hold the keys to influencing the next generation. And there is much more hope than might appear at the surface. But the way through is by first addressing what may be our greatest adversary: Our own parental fears. In this episode, we ask the question, “Why are we doing what we're doing as families?” We address issues like the self-fulfilling prophecy, the role of epigenetics in child outcomes, and the spiritual laws that influence our decisions. Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction1:03 Christi and Josh introduce a NEW season5:40 The mental health of Gen Z9:57 Parenting and mental health16:20 The effects of the decisions we make as parents and addressing parental fears25:30 Spiritual laws that influence our parenting31:00 Running into our fears and the hope of being a parent today35:25 Conscious and unconscious choices we make as parents40:00 How fear-based narratives influence our parenting44:34 What is God's role in how you parent? Show Notes:Ladies, sign up here for Spring Tender & Fierce Cohort! https://www.famousathome.com/tenderandfierce Interested in our Spring Love Your Marriage Cohort?

    In this deeply moving and transformational episode of Between Us Moms, we sit down with actress, single mom of two boys, and Earth School founder Autumn Reeser for one of the most raw, spiritual, and empowering conversations we've ever had on the podcast.Autumn opens up about leaving her marriage when her children were just babies — stepping into single motherhood while navigating heartbreak, identity shifts, and the overwhelming weight of rebuilding her life from the ground up.She describes the moment her awakening truly began:“By the time I was 30, I had the career, the house, the husband, the baby… and I felt like I woke up in somebody else's life.”From the outside, she had checked every box society tells women will make them happy — but internally, something felt deeply misaligned.That realization took her on a journey that has allowed her to reclaim her voice, her truth, and her power.Autumn shares that she left her marriage when her boys were just 3 years old and 11 months old — stepping into one of the hardest seasons of her life.“There were so many moments where I was like… I can't do this. This is too hard.”She speaks candidly about the isolation of early single motherhood:“The isolation of trying to keep two small children alive… it was so intense.”She reflects on the small apartment where she raised them during those years:“I burst into tears in their room… because that's where the hardest parts of my journey were.”But on the other side of that season came perspective — and pride.“There was part of me that was like… we did it. We're here.”One of the most powerful themes of the episode is emotional alchemy — transforming pain into growth.“When you've received heartbreak and betrayal… the gift is learning how to bring it back to love.”She explains the philosophy behind her platform Earth School — the belief that life itself is our classroom:“You're in the classroom of the Divine at every moment.” And the shift that changed everything:“I moved from being a victim of my life… to being a co-creator of it.”Autumn offers deeply compassionate encouragement for women currently navigating divorce, healing, or solo parenting:“Take your time. Be gentle with yourself. You don't have to do it all at once... If I could go back, I would be gentler with myself about needing to be healed right now.”And one of the most grounding reminders for overwhelmed moms:“Just take a breath. Is everyone alive? Did everyone eat? Okay… it's okay.”She shares a simple but powerful practice for mothers in survival mode:“Put your hand on your heart and give yourself the love you're looking for outside of yourself.”Autumn also speaks to the mental load so many moms carry — fear about the future, anxiety about the world our kids are growing up in.Her grounding philosophy:“Depression lives in the past. Anxiety lives in the future. The remedy is found in the here and now... The future is created from right now.”As a mother of two sons, Autumn is deeply intentional about the kind of men she's raising:“I'm not raising children… I'm raising future men.” She prioritizes teaching consent, emotional awareness, and respect from an early age — even on the playground.After years focused on healing and motherhood, Autumn shares she's finally open to partnership again:She wants divine union and she's ready! “Sacred love… or don't give it to me.” Autumn also reflects on the career choices she made to prioritize her boys:“There were roles I didn't get to play… you have to let it sting...”Her transformational community, Earth School, is designed to help women heal, awaken, and reclaim their narratives in the middle of real life — not outside of it.“How do we walk a path of awakening in everyday life… when we're busy?”Through classes, calls, and community, Earth School helps women come back home to themselves.✨ This episode is for you if you're navigating:• Divorce or separation • Single motherhood • Identity loss after kids • Dating after heartbreak • Healing betrayal • Spiritual growth • Reclaiming your voice • Overwhelm in early motherhoodIf you've ever felt like you woke up in the wrong life… this conversation will help you find your way back to your own.Hosts Katie Krause Mork and Hallie Stephens Drake loved every second of this conversation and know you will to.

    In celebration of The High Confectionary's new chocolate bar launch (!!), I'm sitting down with Sarah Fennel, founder of Broma Bakery and the baker extraordinaire who helped bring our new chocolate bars to life! Sarah is behind some of the internet's most beloved dessert recipes, but this conversation goes way beyond baking. She opens up about her complicated relationship with food growing up, how control and anxiety showed up for her as a teenager, and what recovery has actually looked like over time: not a neat "before and after", but as something layered and ongoing. She shares so openly about disordered eating, family instability, and how baking became not just a creative outlet, but a way back to joy. We get into the origin story of Broma Bakery, the food memories that shape us, and how she built a full career around dessert (and without cutting corners or stripping the pleasure out of it.) And of course, we talk about cannabis - evolving past party culture, using it intentionally, and discovering it as a tool to feel lighter, gigglier, more present, and more yourself. Plus, the BTS of creating The High Confectionary's new chocolate bars, the flavor development process, and why precise dosing changes everything - especially for women who want to enjoy without going overboard. This conversation is funny, honest, and joyful, a reminder that dessert and cannabis, at their best, are both about enjoyment, connection, and letting yourself feel good. We love you Sarah!

Sydney opens up about the joy and anticipation she feels as she prepares to become a mom, and how that season inspired her newest song, “That's My Baby (On Main Street).” Tara and Sydney talk about the evolution of her sound toward a more coastal-country feel, the role nature plays in her creativity, and how past songs like “Cool Kids” were born from her own journey toward self-acceptance. She also shares her deep love for Japanese culture and language, and how those influences quietly shape her artistry. Sydney doesn't shy away from the real conversations, what it means to slow down, be present, and intentionally step back from work to bond with her baby. They dive into the complicated role the internet plays for modern parents, both as a lifeline and a source of anxiety, and why tuning into your own instincts matters more than ever. This conversation is a reminder that becoming a mother doesn't end creativity. It transforms it, and Sydney is just beginning to imagine how this next chapter will show up in her music and her life.

Get your tickets HERE : https://dissidentdialogues.org/In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with novelist and cultural critic Lionel Shriver for a wide-ranging conversation on immigration, national identity, childlessness, and the psychological roots of progressive politics.We begin with the backlash to Sir Jim Ratcliffe's claim that Britain has been “colonised,” and explore why immigration has become the most morally charged issue in Western politics. Shriver argues that debates over borders, demographic change, and the so-called “great replacement” divide societies into irreconcilable camps, and that mass migration touches deep anthropological instincts that elites refuse to acknowledge.The discussion moves beyond economics into culture and psychology, examining performative guilt, self-righteousness, and what Shriver calls the narcissism at the heart of modern progressive ideology. We explore why national identity has been hollowed out, why anti-border politics often coexists with hyper-individualism, and how the collapse of religious faith has left a moral vacuum filled by activism.We also debate falling birth rates, the status of motherhood, childlessness, and whether Western societies can survive demographic decline without either restoring cultural confidence or radically transforming themselves. Shriver argues that a civilisation unwilling to reproduce itself cannot expect to endure.A provocative and deeply philosophical conversation about immigration, identity, family, and whether the West still believes in itself.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WATCH THE EXTENDED CONVERSATION HERE:: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters00:00 – Introduction02:17 Has Britain Been “Colonised”?05:38 The Great Replacement: Theory or Demographic Fact?08:15 Why Immigration Became a Moral Absolute11:29 White Guilt, Vanity & Progressive Psychology14:35 The Nation State vs Borderless Ideology18:06 Self-Obsession & the Progressive Mindset23:31 The White Saviour Complex Explained26:39 Do the Left Even Believe in Countries?31:35 From Liberal to Conservative: Shriver's Turning Point35:49 Women, Motherhood & the Politics of Immigration41:08 Childlessness, Status & Cultural Decline49:01 Radical Individualism & the Loss of Norms57:40 If We Don't Have Children, We'll Be Replaced1:12:38 Immigration Rage, Identity & What People Really Feel Hosted on Acast.

    MORNING, MAMA | Heal From the Past, Parent with Purpose, and Live Out Your Calling - Mental Health, Biblical Parenting, Chris

    Do you ever feel like your emotional state rises and falls with how your kids are doing? When they're happy, you feel okay. When they struggle, you panic. When they mess up, you feel like you failed. Maybe you're constantly worried about their future. Maybe their behavior feels like a reflection of you. Maybe your peace depends on whether or not they're okay. In today's episode, we continue our series on the sneaky things that steal our joy by talking about one of the most tender and dangerous idols for moms: the idol of our kids. Not loving them. Not caring deeply. Not wanting what's best for them. But placing our identity, security, and worth in how they turn out. We talk about how this shows up when: • You feel responsible for your child's emotions • You fear their mistakes more than you trust God • You define your success by their behavior • You try to control outcomes instead of steward hearts • You lose yourself in motherhood This episode will help you: • Recognize where fear is driving your parenting • Understand why control feels loving but isn't • See how making kids the center creates pressure instead of safety • Learn how to release your child back to God • Begin parenting from trust instead of anxiety If you've been feeling overwhelmed by your child's choices, behavior, or future — this episode will help you see what's really happening underneath it. Your child was never meant to be your source of peace. God is. And when you let Him be, both you and your child can breathe again. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

    Motherhood is full of moments that make us laugh—sometimes out of pure joy, and sometimes because life feels too ridiculous not to. In this episode of the Gather Moms Podcast, we continue our Bible Moms series by stepping into the story of Sarah, a woman who waited decades for God's promise and laughed when it finally seemed too impossible to believe. Sarah's story (Genesis 12–25) reads like a Netflix drama: unanswered prayers, bad decisions made in desperation, long seasons of waiting, and a plot twist only God could write. As we walk through her journey, we talk honestly about what it means to trust God when your body, your circumstances, and your timeline all seem to tell a different story. In Genesis 18, Sarah laughs when she overhears God promise she'll have a son in her old age. But her laughter isn't mockery—it's the laughter of exhaustion, disappointment, and guarded hope. Years later, when Isaac is finally born, Sarah laughs again—this time with joy, marveling at what God has done and inviting others to laugh with her. This episode is an invitation for moms to read Scripture with compassion instead of judgment, to bring doubts honestly before God, and to trust that nothing is too hard for the Lord. Whether you're waiting on a promise, feeling worn out, or wondering if it's too late for God to work—Sarah's story reminds us that God is faithful, patient, and always on time. In this episode, we talk about: Why laughter shows up so often in motherhood—and in the Bible How to read Scripture with compassion instead of comparison What Sarah's waiting teaches us about God's timing Why God isn't offended by our doubts or questions How God fulfills His promises, even when we make messy choices The hope that comes from trusting God with what feels impossible Scripture referenced: Genesis 12–25, Genesis 18:9–14, Genesis 21:1–6 Next steps:Join us on Gather Moms Patreon as we read through the book of Luke together during Lent, starting February 18.

    What if staying on top of home life didn't require doing more, but doing a few small things consistently? In this Motherkind Moment, Zoeis joined by Ingrid Jansen, co-founder of The Declutter Hub, to talk about daily resets and non-negotiables – a simple, realistic way to stop life at home from constantly tipping into overwhelm. Ingrid shares why having a handful of everyday tasks that always get done – like clearing the sink, loading the dishwasher, or running one load of laundry – can completely change how your home feels. Not because everything is perfect, but because you're no longer starting each day already behind. They talk about how short, regular resets (just 10–15 minutes, once or twice a day) can support tired mums, especially in busy seasons where decision fatigue is high, and energy is low. This isn't about rigid routines or unrealistic standards – it's about doing small things that make life feel calmer for your future self. The conversation also explores toys, clutter, and the mental load of “stuff” – from organising play spaces in age-appropriate ways, to decluttering gently over time, to managing the constant influx of gifts. Ingrid shares why less really can be more for both children and parents, and how involving kids (and partners) builds shared responsibility rather than burnout. This is a compassionate, practical conversation for any mother who feels overwhelmed by the never-ending to-do list – and wants things to feel just a little lighter.

    This week, Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Brittany Stevens. The two talk about Brittany's journey into employment discrimination law, the challenges of balancing a demanding legal career with motherhood, and the importance of workplace policies that support parents and caregivers. In this episode, we discuss: How pregnancy discrimination is still rampant, bosses assuming moms-to-be will slack off, and why Brittany fights to shatter that, drawing from her own return from maternity leave (needing a private fridge, blinds, and pumping space). What drew her to the plaintiff side: a deep drive to help folks facing power imbalances at work, chasing internships and jobs that let her focus on real discrimination cases, fueled by her natural people-person vibe. When caregiving for aging or ill parents hits (like Brittany taking time for her mom's final days and doctor's visits), what protections exist, like leaves for loved ones, state-specific caregiver time off, and why HR chats early can make all the difference. Why, despite progress since the '70s, we're still miles from equity: post-COVID return-to-office mandates are pushing women out again due to childcare chaos, proving conversations about real accommodations and culture are non-negotiable. How to spot supportive workplaces before signing on: check policies on paid maternity/paternity, flexible leaves, and a vibe that won't punish you for using them without retaliation or getting passed over for promotions. Brittany A. Stevens is a Partner at Phillips & Associates, PLLC, one of the nation's premier plaintiff-side employment law firms. She focuses exclusively on representing employees who have experienced sexual harassment, discrimination, or retaliation in the workplace. Known for her strategic legal mind and compassionate client advocacy, Brittany empowers clients during some of the most vulnerable moments in their professional lives. She represents women from across industries— especially those in executive support roles—and works tirelessly to hold employers accountable. At the heart of Brittany's practice is a deep belief in justice, respect, and protection for those with less power in the workplace. She's been featured in media, published legal articles, and leads with a communication style that is clear, empathetic, and action-oriented. Whether fighting for a settlement or guiding a client through the legal systems, Brittany ensures every voice is heard—and every violation addressed.  Website:  https://www.newyorkcitydiscriminationlawyer.com/ Social Media Links: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brittany-stevens-alper-4895911a/ https://x.com/Phillips_Assoc_ https://www.facebook.com/PhillipsandAssociatesAttorneysatLaw/ https://www.instagram.com/phillips_and_associates https://www.youtube.com/@phillipsassociates9558

    Nothing repairs a parent-child relationship—or models the heart of the gospel—more powerfully than eight humble words: “I’m sorry. I was wrong. Please forgive me.” In a world where authority is often prized over humility, Catherine shines a light on the crucial, yet challenging, words every parent must be willing to say. In this deeply practical “Best Of” episode, Catherine explores why these eight words are harder to say than most—and how they carry the potential to transform the atmosphere of our homes. With her trademark honesty and grace, Catherine tackles the barriers parents face in admitting fault and offers biblically-grounded wisdom for restoring trust when we inevitably get it wrong. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: The three critical objectives achieved when parents humbly apologize, including healing breaches in trust, modeling biblical repentance, and affirming your child’s growth and autonomy. Why saying “I’m sorry” isn’t always enough—and the importance of going beyond surface-level apologies to confessing, “I was wrong,” especially when our delivery lacks love. A breakdown of the four parenting phases—caregiver, cop, coach, and counselor—and how operating in the wrong one can damage relationships with older kids. Catherine’s actionable, eight bonus words: “What can I do to make it right?”—a powerful next step for restoration and collaboration with your child. Rooted in 1 Corinthians 13, Catherine reminds listeners that even “if I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy, but I don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.” She vulnerably shares her own journey toward quicker humility and confesses her husband models this with grace she’s always striving to emulate. Notable Quotes from This Episode: “Parenting really isn’t about perfection. It’s about formation—ours and theirs.” “Dictators last for a season. But at some point, there will be a citizens’ revolt.” “Our kids need to see humility and repentance from us.” If you want a legacy of trust, openness, and faith in your family, tune in to learn the eight essential words every parent should have in their relational toolbox. Ask Yourself:When was the last time you told your child, “I was wrong. Please forgive me”? What might change in your home if humility and grace defined your relationship repairs? Want more practical steps for rebuilding after mistakes? Don’t miss next week’s "best of" episode, where Catherine welcomes back Kirsten Vossler, host of the Rejoicing in Motherhood podcast, to share seven practical, grace-filled steps for resetting when you’ve blown it with your kids.

    Many moms carry emotional and mental stress quietly while telling the world, “I'm fine.” In this episode, we talk honestly about the invisible emotional load of motherhood, why so many women minimize their own struggles, and how mild but ongoing stress, anxiety, and overwhelm can grow into more serious mental health challenges when ignored.This conversation is not meant to minimize serious mental illness — it's meant to encourage awareness, early support, and honest self-check-ins so moms don't have to reach a breaking point before getting help. We explore why moms often feel pressure to hold everything together, how common emotional struggles like chronic stress, irritability, emotional exhaustion, and quiet anxiety are often dismissed, and why asking for help early is a powerful act of strength.If you're a mom who feels overwhelmed, stretched thin, emotionally tired, or disconnected from joy, this episode offers encouragement, validation, and practical mindset shifts to support your mental and emotional well-being. Who this episode is for: Moms who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted Women who feel pressure to be strong for everyone else Moms who know something feels “off” but don't feel like it's serious enough for help Anyone who wants to be proactive about mental health and emotional well-being Important Note:This episode is not a replacement for professional mental health care. If you are experiencing severe depression, anxiety, thoughts of self-harm, or emotional distress, please seek support from a licensed mental health professional or trusted healthcare provider.

    Talk dirty to me….But instead of roses or grand gestures… what if the sexiest words a mom can hear are:“I switched the laundry.”“I've got bedtime.”“Go lay down. I'll handle the kids.”In this Monday Mom Pep Talk, we're diving into the real reason support feels so attractive in motherhood. It's not about the chore, it's about not carrying the mental load alone. It's about feeling seen. Partnered. Supported.

And when someone steps in without being asked? That's intimacy.In this pep talk, I talk about:• Why we were never meant to do this alone• How shared responsibility builds connection• Why carrying all the plates isn't noble• And how receiving help is a skill we can learnIf you've ever felt like you're spinning all the plates and praying none crash…this episode is for you.Because sometimes the most romantic words in the world are:“I've got it.”Tune in, take a breath, and remember.. you don't have to carry motherhood alone.

    Have you ever wondered why some Australian families travel overseas for surrogacy? Or been confused by headlines about proposed payments for surrogates and whether that crosses a line?Australia's surrogacy laws have been called "confusing, restrictive, and not fit for purpose." Now there's talk of reform, including monthly payments to surrogates. But it raises questions about whether we're finally acknowledging the labour involved, or creating new problems.In this episode, Dr Renee White explores Australia's proposed surrogacy law reforms and sits with some uncomfortable questions that don't have simple answers. Like whether it's more exploitative to pay someone for nine months of physical and emotional labour, or to expect them to do it for free while the doctors, lawyers and agencies all get paid.This isn't about having all the answers. It's about creating space to think about what fair support and real protection actually look like.You'll hear about:Why 369 families a year go offshore for surrogacy and whether our current laws are protecting anyoneThe thinking behind altruistic surrogacy and why surrogates are the only ones not compensatedWhat the proposed reforms actually include and why people are so dividedWhether we can put a price on pregnancy and who gets to decide what counts as exploitationHow this connects to bigger questions about valuing reproductive labour and care workWhether you've considered surrogacy, know someone who has, or you're just trying to understand this complex issue, this episode offers space to think critically about what we owe to surrogates, children and families navigating this path.Resources & Links

I'm celebrating my seventh Valentine's Day with my husband (the longest Valentine I've ever had), and sharing how I'm trying to create meaningful traditions for our three kids — inspired by how my mom always made Valentine's Day feel so special when I was growing up.I also take a minute to honor Catherine O'Hara and James Van Der Beek, and how their passing had me thinking about nostalgia, legacy, and the people who shape us. Along the way, I share a few personal stories — from affordable gifts to family memories — and invite you to zoom out and think about what love really means to you.And yes — we keep it a little spicy too. I'm talking love languages, including physical touch, and how intimacy can look different in the thick of parenting… but still matters. Because sometimes love isn't a grand gesture. Sometimes it's the small, everyday things — and showing up for each other in the middle of real life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
