Bless Your Heart I'm Talking

🌙 Bonus Episode: Cowboy Boots & Hippie Dreams 🌙
In this special bonus episode of Bless Your Heart, I’m Talking, I step away from the usual rhythm of the show to share something deeply personal—my poetry. These poems tell the story of my brother and me, written in a voice that drifts somewhere between cowboy grit and hippie soul. It’s about family, memory, love, and the ties that never break.

Zada kicks things off with a rant about Rick being louder than a freight train during recording (again). Then we spiral into the scandalous world of tablescaping, uncover a long-lost photo of Zada’s great-grandmother (spoiler: it’s a moment), and wrap it all up with a soapbox moment on why chasing big dreams doesn’t make you “too much”—it makes you unapologetic. Basically, it's a rollercoaster. Buckle up Buttercup this loud overbearing woman is at it again!

In this episode, I sit down with a natural-born storyteller whose roots run deep in  Texas. From dusty backroads to front porch wisdom, they share tales that are rich with history, humor, and heart. It’s a conversation about where we come from, why stories matter, and how the past shapes the people we become. We also get a good laugh over how he met my stepdad. Join me welcoming Jeremy Plumley to the show.

This week’s podcast episode "Wrinkle Me This" dives into all the weird, wild, and hilarious parts of getting older. We’re talking hot flashes, brain fog, and why my knee has a mind of it's own. Come laugh with me — because if we don’t laugh, we might cry… or pee a little.  Bless my heart my hair looks like a beginner witch and my eyes have a permanent RBF.  Settle in and laugh at my bullsh*t this week.

In this episode, I talk about two things we all avoid: saying “I’m sorry” and putting our phones down. (Both equally painful, let’s be honest.)

From awkward apologies to rage-scrolling through nonsense, we’re diving into what it means to admit when you’re wrong and protect your peace — even if it means muting your cousin, logging off, or apologizing to your dog for overreacting.

It’s a grown woman’s survival guide — one “my bad” and deleted app at a time.

 This week, I’m reading the review. You know the one — the kind that makes you laugh, squint, and then wonder if your personality is a federal offense. Apparently, I’m too Southern, too opinionated, and just a little too much. And to that I say: thank you.In this episode, I break down the review, laugh through the nonsense, and talk about why women — especially Southern, middle-aged, don’t-give-a-damn women — ruffle feathers just by being themselves. Oh, and yes… I turned that bad review into merch. Petty? Maybe. Brilliant? Absolutely. So pour a drink, turn it up, and let’s t...

Let's laugh and talk about mood swing, going crazy, bleeding out and those F*CKING HOT FLASHES! Join me to discuss Menopause and without the mansplaining.

Episode 1: The Rebrand – Fillin’ Your Own Cup (and Soul)
Welcome to the very first episode of  Bless My Heart, I’m Talking! New name, new logo but same Zada! 
Today, we’re kickin' things off with a rebrand, a fresh start, and a little talk about what it means to really fill your own cup. (No, not with sweet tea — though that never hurts.) We're diving into how to pour into yourself when life, motherhood, and menopause are all pulling in different directions.

It’s raw, it’s real, it’s funny — and it’s just the beginning.

We're back, Ya'll! Did you miss us as much as we missed you?

Does your family congregate in the living room to watch television? Do you hang out and cook in the kitchen? Or do you escape to the peace and comfort of your bedrooms?

As females, we have a lot of experiences that are unique to us. The changes our bodies undergo, the way our bodies are policed & the unattainable expectations placed upon us by society...to name a few.

Now and then it's good to do a little venting about the things that piss you off. It can be rather refreshing (and might help keep you from actually stabbing someone). 10/10  would recommend.

If you're being honest with yourself, just how judgmental of a person are you? How is that affecting the way those around you view your character? ....What can you do about it?
