Ep 34: Waiting Until Marriage with Holley Brick

EP 37: All Things Fatherhood with Jonathan Brick

Today I'm talking with my first male guest! You guessed it, it's my husband Jonathan. I love talking about mom life but I also wanted to give a shout out to all the awesome dads out there and get a little bit of a different perspective. So I asked Jonathan all the questions and I absolutely love his insight and answers. 

I hope this episode encourages you to tell your husband or significant other you appreciate him if you haven't lately :)

Ep 36: Putting Social Media In It's Place with Holley Brick

Today's episode is another solo episode. This is something that has been on my heart and mind for a while now and I felt it necessary to share. Social media is amazing and has connected me with incredible and encouraging people but if we aren't careful it can be toxic. It can bring us down by comparing our real lives to other's highlight reel, it can make us feel trapped, even obligated to stay and engage in order to not lose followers etc. 

In this episode I talk about combating comparison and making sure that social media is helping us, not hurting us. If it is a hindrance or negative thing in your life then guess what, you can limit it or even eliminate it! Do what you gotta do momma! Your happiness and mental health is more important than any # of followers, and I'm sure your babies would agree.

Ep 35: Live With Less to Enjoy Life More with Desirae Endres of Minimalish

Desirae said yes to coming on the podcast and sharing her story about her journey to minimalism. Not gonna lie, minimalism seemed kind of extreme to me when I first heard about it but it has really become more and more appealing as we grow our family and continue to grow our collection of Stuff. 

I also love her approach as she is all about Realistic Minimalism. Something that works for you and your family, not rules but a way to have more freedom and enjoyment in the things you do have and love. So just hear us out and see if you think it's for you!

Find her on instagram @minimalish.desirae

Ep 34: Waiting Until Marriage with Holley Brick

This is our story but it's on a topic that I think is needed in today's society. We are told that Waiting Until Marriage is either old fashioned, impossible or silly because you will want to know what you're getting into when it comes to the intimate part of marriage.

Well, Jonathan and I, By God's Grace, were able to save ourselves for each other on our wedding night and I don't regret it one bit. So I go through our story about dating, engagement, obstacles, temptation, grief and loss but ultimately we came out on the other end so much stronger for it.

So give it a listen! Available on all your podcast platforms!

EP 33: All About Screen Time & Balance with Lori Erickson

Lori Erickson is my first returning guest and I'm so excited to share our convo! Screen time is one of those things no one really wants to talk about because everyone has different opinions and parenting styles which is TOTALLY ok. I figured we would take this opportunity to talk it out and let yall hear our perspectives and experience on balancing all things screen time. Reminder: we are not experts, just mommies who want the best for our kiddos just like all the other amazing mommies listening. So with that said, take away what you will and I hope it helps in some small way!
