In this episode, we unpack why traditional fashion “advice” can feel limiting, who those rules were really made for, and how to start dressing in a way that lights you up instead. It’s a permission slip to ignore the shoulds, lean into what feels good, and build a style that reflects who you are, not who you’ve been told to be.

This episode peels back the shiny layers of consumerism and how easily we get pulled into the comparison trap- scrolling, saving, and spending when we don’t need to. We talk about the pressure to “keep up,” how trends quietly mess with our self-worth, and what it actually looks like to source things responsibly by supporting small businesses instead of big-box overconsumption.

This week we’re untangling the tinsel and talking boundaries-aka the ultimate holiday survival skill. From gracefully declining yet another “you simply must come!” invite, to gifting in a way that doesn’t drain your will to live, we’re breaking down how to say no without the guilt spiral.

Think of this episode as your permission slip to choose ease over obligation, presence over perfection, and the kind of yeses that make your season actually feel merry. Let’s make room for your joy, your family, and your sanity… no apologies, no overthinking, just deliciously clear boundaries wrapped up with a bow.

In this episode, we get honest about the upward spiral—how it actually starts, which is usually somewhere between a half-finished journal entry and a morning you didn’t want to wake up for. We talk about using gratitude as a lifeline and romanticizing your life in a way that’s more rebellion than aesthetic.

This is gratitude with grit: finding one good thing when everything feels sideways, choosing a better thought while sitting squarely in the sh*t, letting small rituals drag you upward when motivation won’t. It's not about denying the hard stuff, it's about creating space for good and bad to coexist, without the toxic positivity.

This week, we’re diving into the messy, magical, and slightly ridiculous world of Christmas. From Furbies and nostalgic gifts to the joy that exists outside the wrapping paper, we’re unpacking what it really means to lean into the holidays without letting expectations steal the fun. Join us as we laugh at tiny disappointments, celebrate small moments of magic, and figure out how to make this season feel like your kind of Christmas — batteries optional.

Motherhood changes everything — including how we see ourselves. But what if midlife is actually an invitation to come home to who you are, not who you used to be? In this episode, we’re unpacking identity, reinvention, and the magic of finding your rhythm (and your style) again.

Join Jenny and Karli on the scenic route as we discuss anything and everything on this journey of life.
