Lordy Lordy, I'm turning 4-0!
I'm so glad 40 has a better, more positive rep, than when we were younger, but it can still mess with your mind, if we're not careful.
I'm sharing some tips from my year leading up to this milestone, so you can hopefully view your next bday in a brighter light, no matter what number that is.
I'm always open to feedback, so feel free to DM me @we_arrow_on_podcast, and please pass it on to a friend or family member who could use some of these vibes!
Thanks as always for listening to me ramble!

Episode 13: Sisterhood of the Traveling Spouses
This episode was a LOOOONG time coming, as you know I live the traveling-for-work spouse life weekly, and have adapted and found ways to help myself, as well as my spouse helping to set us up for success.
I knew from the start, I HAD to have my friend Erin Watson on the podcast, especially for this topic, even though I know we could chat on several, so keep a look out, she will likely be back.
I won't give too much a way, but Erin's husband is currently deployed for months at a time, and she has a full time job and 3 boys....while she may not agree that she is in fact Wonder Woman (she has my vote), the tips and stories she shares can really inspire you and also if you happen to be new to the sisterhood ,it will be a big help, OR if you have a partner traveling for any reason and may be feeling anxious or worried on how to do all the things, or looking for a few tips/hacks to help yourself out
(the cool thing about starting your own podcast, is that you don't have to worry about run on sentences... :)
Anyway- this is a great episode and we could've gone on all night, but we know as solo parents some nights, that after bedtime time is PRECIOUS... if you are in this boat you are not alone!!
Thanks for listening and you can always send me feedback on instagram at @wearrowonpodcast
Episode 12: Note To Self
Sometimes, we just need to get it all out on paper.
Our wants/needs/hopes/dreams, and let it be known that we have PLANS.
Our gym (BurnBootcampTally) started this tradition, and I loved it so much, I had to share with you.
You can easily recreate this activity yourself and even if you THINK it's cheesy, I promise it's so powerful.
Let me know if you do it! I would love to hear your feedback on how it went!
Reminder: Your hopes, dreams and feelings matter, and it is never too late to set a new goal or start a new habit.

Episode 11: It Really is a Small World After All- Let's talk Disney!
You heard it right- this episode is all about DISNEY, and my newbie voyage after probably a decade+ removed, and adding a 5yr old and 2.5 yr old to the adventure!
As you probably know, A LOT has changed to how Disney operates, due to changes in technology (the app is great!), fast pass/genie, and waiting in line to see your favorite characters.
I was on the mom Disney facebook groups, and while helpful, I also felt overwhelmed hearing all about every individual's trip and how some people made it seem like you had to practically have a phD to have a fun-filled day at Disney.
Happy to report that is not the case, and I have to give most of the credit to Amy Mitchell ([email protected] ), who I know personally, but who also works with them parks and travel in general and she was AMAZING at watering it down so I could digest easier, and helping me relax....it's just Disney, and it should be fun!!
I just wanted to share things that helped/worked and others that maybe could've been improved upon, just in case you are ever ready to take the trip yourself, or add to what you already know to help improve it next time.
Feel free to share with all you Disney loving friends, and also comment if you have other tips, that I missed!
Thanks for listening- it means so much!

Episode 9: Taking Back The Holidays
The holidays bring joy and fun, but can also bring big time stress and anxiety, especially as we get older and begin forming our own families.
There is definitely an art to balancing things, and while compromise is welcome and appreciated, it's also okay to say "no", if that certain event/tradition no longer serves you or your crew.
I am still on my journey in beginning to create my little families typical traditions, but I'm sharing my favorite 5 tips, on how we've managed to rid ourselves of some of the stress and obligations, in a way that also doesn't burn bridges or leaves people feeling like the Grinch just pushed all the presents off of that big hill :)
While this episode is coming to you WAY after the holidays, hopefully you can make some tentative plans in your brain (or note in your phone) for next year so you can be prepared to actually get to do what YOU want, and not feeling like you have to say yes to everything and drag your kiddos to 25 events in one weekend :)
I'd love to hear your favorite tips, also!--- DMS always open @we_arrow_on_podcast
Thanks for the listen!
