Each episode features tools, resources, advice and encouragement for moms! Join my friends and me for honest chats about the highs and lows of motherhood and our favorite resources, tips and tricks. We’re on a journey to share the good we’ve found and find joy right where we are.
It's back to school season - and for many of us, back to soccer season as well!
Join my friends Brooke and Lil as we dive into the exciting world of soccer mom life with all its high highs and low lows. You'll hear about their families' journeys into the soccer world and how they support their young athletes beyond the sidelines. Get ready for some real talk on the challenges of guiding our kids through competitive youth sports, and encouragement for you and me as we learn and make mistakes along the way.
Spoiler alert: Best tip is "Find your soccer mom village!" And get yourself a soccer tennis net.

24. Open Doors, Open Hearts: The Art of Welcome | Mary O'Donnell
Happy holidays, friends! You're going to absolutely love this episode featuring my talk with a special family friend of mine, Mary O’Donnell. Mary's daughter is actually a good friend of mine who has inherited her gift for making people feel at home. I absolutely loved being at their house when I was younger, and counted it as a second home. And I wasn't alone - dozens of people from different ages and stages found refuge and even a long-term home with Mary and her family.
Listen in as we discuss Mary's international upbringing, how the art of welcome became a major part of her life, stories from her famously full house, and essential elements to communicating genuine care to the people who enter your life and your threshold. I know I’ll be reflecting on this conversation for a while to come. It’s easy to let excuses like not having the perfect home or the perfect time prevent us from inviting others in, but often that's not where we start.
I hope this episode encourages you (as it has for me!) to invite others into wherever you are and to share whatever you have this holiday season and new year.
As Mary said, "It was all worth it; it was all wonderful because we were sowing care into different people’s lives."
