Hello friends! Thank you for joining me for another episode of the Please, Let Me Finish Podcast. It’s finally fall and, as expected, Texas still hasn’t gotten the memo so today we are going to discuss all things fall, sweater weather, and what I like to do to really bring the season upon myself and enjoy the cozy vibes it’s supposed to bring. We’ll also chat a bit about the fresh start feeling that fall in particular can bring!Fall is really and truly that girl, am I right? I feel like fall is the most iconic of the seasons, possessing a very distinct aesthetic without being directly tied to a holiday. The color palette, the fashion, the food and flavors…we all know fall when we see her, even if we don’t feel her outside.
That’s why I decided to take matters into my own hands and embark on a mission to make it feel like it’s frickin fall, and I want to bring you in on the blueprint so that no matter what the weather is like where you live, you can feel like it’s frickin fall, too.

Episode 18: Big Sister Energy - A Dream is a Heart Your Wish Makes
Oh ya'll are in for a REAL treat with this one, my friends! This is the first installment of the 'Big Sister Energy' episodes and I couldn't imagine two better guests to join me than MY sisters, Molly and Ellie! In this week’s episode, the topic is “I wish I was the type of person who could…” and that prompt made for some hilarious, but meaningful discussion. I asked the girls to each make a list so that we could share and discuss the areas that we wish we could be just a little different than we currently are. We laughed a ton, gave each other some great advice, and agreed that despite our quirks, we’re all pretty great just the way we are. I know you will enjoy this conversation as much as we did!!

Episode 17: Uninterrupted - Self Respect Set Me Free
This is the first Uninterrupted episode since pivoting to the new episode formats! In these episodes, I’ll be sharing personal growth moments and breakthroughs that can hopefully help introduce a new perspective on things that I think many people may be navigating too.
In today’s episode, I’ll be sharing about my relationship with feeling misunderstood. It’s been a lifelong trigger for me and, until recently, I haven’t dealt with it in a healthy way. In working with my counselor, I’ve been able to identify why it’s been triggering in the past, how my response to it has evolved over time, and the new perspective that has set me free from the shackles of other people’s opinions. If you struggle with feeling misunderstood, I hope this conversation helps you feel less alone and gives you some hope for the way you approach it in the future!
