Ep 45: 10 Questions for the end of the year

December 10, 2019/ Laura Tremaine

This episode is for you if you enjoy end-of-the-year reflection and journaling.

It's the end of the year, and the end of the decade, and even though we're still a few weeks out from kissing 2019 goodbye and ushering in 2020, I'm posing these questions a little early so that you'll have time to think about your answers this month.

There are 10 questions in this episode meant to make you reflect upon on the last twelve months and get some clarity for what you want in the coming year. The prompts are a mix of light and deep, some to document a simple moment in time, others to help you grow.

Ep 44: What are you doing well?

December 03, 2019/ Laura Tremaine

This episode is for you if you need a little encouragement for a busy season.

On this episode, I'm sharing two things I'm doing well right now and two things I'm letting go of for the holiday season. But the real key to this prompt is using it to start a conversation with a friend or a group of friends.

After listening, shoot a text to someone and ask, "Hey, where are you killing it these days?"because when people pause and reflect on this just for a minute, it shifts your mindset. We're all doing okay.

Ep 42: Have you lost your style? (A conversation with Amber Haines)

November 19, 2019/ Laura Tremaine

This episode is for you if don't recognize the person in the mirror.

On a recent girls weekend, my good friend Amber Haines and I got into a conversation about being uncomfortable in our skin lately. It's more than simply aging, we both feel like our personal sense of style (something we've been proud of in the past) has taken a back seat in the past few years during a busy life.

This topic is both shallow and not. We discuss body changes, hiding ourselves, the mental hurdles of buying new clothes, and the logistical aspects of getting dressed up for a day when you don't see anyone except your kids.

This is a no shame, no judgment, authentic conversation between friends. We plan our next steps to get our groove back - the emotional part, and the practical part - and will do a check in on this topic in 3 months.

Ep 39: What needs a lighter hand?

October 29, 2019/ Laura Tremaine

This episode is for you if there's an area in your life you suspect you might be a little heavy-handed.

If we're heavy handed about something it's usually because we care about that thing. But often this is less effective than we intended. On this episode we're talking about everything from makeup, to relationships, to posting on social media.

What in your life could use a lighter touch?

Ep 38: Books for Growth

October 22, 2019/ Laura Tremaine

This episode is for you if you’re seeking books to expand your perspective.

Reading and personal development are two of my passions, and when they intertwine it’s like heaven.

I’ve broken down personal growth books into 4 categories:

Introspection

Spirituality

Body

Humanity

Or, put another way: Discovering ourselves, finding God, connecting to our body, and learning about others.

On this episode, Jenna and Angela - most known for their iconic roles on the show The Office - share about friendships in their childhood, the origin story of their own friendship, and the trickiness of navigating relationships through motherhood and success.

September 17, 2019/ Laura Tremaine

This episode is for you if you’ve had any recent revelations you want to share.

Revelations. I’ve had a few. If you’re a regular listener to this show, you probably are the type of person who is striving for growth, who aims to be self-aware, and who is paying attention. And if you’re paying attention, you’re learning. Always.

So this week I'm sharing with you a few of my own personal recent revelations (some shallow, some deeper), and I am actively encouraging you to share your own. Not only privately or in your journal, this time I’m challenging you to share on social media.

September 10, 2019/ Laura Tremaine
