In this very special episode, I’m joined by my amazing stepdaughter, Teagan, as she celebrates her 15th birthday! 🎉 Together, we dive into an open-hearted conversation about what it’s really like being a teen today — from navigating faith and friendships to health, social pressures, and living between two very different homes.

Teagan shares her perspective on what matters most in this season of her life, what helps her stay grounded, and how she’s learning to balance wellness, identity, and connection in a complex world. Whether you're a parent, a stepparent, or a teen yourself, this honest and inspiring conversation offers valuable insights into building bridges across generations and households.

In this episode, we're talking about simple summer swaps that help moms of all ages step out of survival mode and into a season of ease, joy, and gentle restoration. If you're already feeling the pull of the next school year creeping up, pause here. Let’s talk about how to use summer as your soft reset — with nourishing self-care, low-pressure fun with your kids, and intentional choices that lighten the load (without adding a giant to-do list)

Sometimes, though, there are things that need to be cut out. Toxic thoughts, products and habits that are taking over and are affecting your health.
