This episode is for anyone who needs to get into the holiday spirit.

I’m so excited to kickoff the season by talking about holiday movies with Mary Carver from Hooked on Holiday Movies. But confession: I’ve never watched a Hallmark or Lifetime holiday movie!

I am so happy to share with you a conversation with one of my college friends Sarah Nuse.

Now I have kept up with Sarah online for years now, but what is so fascinating about her story is that she ACCIDENTALLY started a business WHILE we were in college - she was just 19 years old - and 20+ years later that little college side hustle is a company with franchises all over the world.

BONUS: Break the Good Girl Myth with author Majo Molfino

BONUS: Break the Good Girl Myth with author Majo Molfino

This episode is for anyone who struggles with her inner “good girl.”

I read Break the Good Girl Myth: How To Dismantle Outdated Rules, Unleash Your Power, and Design a More Purposeful Life by Majo Molfino this summer and the whole idea resonated with me: identifying as a good girl, wanting to be seen as a good girl, and simultaneously wanting to get out of that trap.

Even at 40-something, I am still dismantling these parts of my identity, and I could see myself - and so many of my friends - in the five different types of “good girls” that Majo writes about.

BONUS: How to decorate for the seasons without buying more stuff. (A conversation with Myquillyn Smith, The Nester)

Welcome to this BONUS episode of the 10 Things To Tell You podcast, I am so excited to share another author interview, especially because Myquillyn Smith - aka The Nester - has been someone I’ve followed online for YEARS and years, but we had never actually spoken until we recorded!

Myquillyn has influenced the way I think about my home through her blog and then social media and then her books, starting with The Nesting Place, and then the Cozy Minimalist Home, and now, her latest release this fall titled Welcome Home. Her book and our conversation revolves around decorating your home for the SEASONS without buying a bunch of expensive decor that you then have to store, and also signaling to yourself and to your family the cycle of the year - EVEN when you live in Southern California where the temperature doesn’t change much.
