I Adore the Hell Outta You
I Adore the Hell Outta You is a cheeky, unfiltered podcast for women in midlife—and anyone curious about what it really looks like to grow, stretch, and continuously expand. Hosted by two best friends with a tarot deck and a sharp sense of humor, we dive into the wild ride of aging, identity, relationships, body stuff, and big life pivots. Think late-night phone call energy meets real talk about becoming more yourself, one messy chapter at a time. Midlife is the main character, but all are welcome.
Dark Thoughts
Send us Fan Mail
We've been having some dark thoughts about our abilities, our bodies, our brains. The darkness seems to be lurking around every corner. We're saying the dark thoughts outloud and we're recapping our annual backpacking adventure where we inevitably push ourselves outside the cozy comfort zone and grow in one way or another. Dammit! Why is growth always uncomfortable. We were just getting cozy for the season and then BAM there's another growth opportunity. Also, you are not your thoughts. And if your thoughts are taking you to a dark place that you need...
Mid-Rise, Candlelight, and Chocolate Brown: Get cozy with Rene Deming of Gathered for Good
Send us Fan Mail
This week I sat down with Renee Deming, owner of Gathered for Good, a curated thrift and vintage shop in Missoula and Bozeman. Renee stumbled into retail out of necessity and has spent 20 years loving the hunt. We talked about building a business rooted in service, the real challenges of running a shop as a woman on her own, and why none of us can do this alone.
Then we got cozy, with Renee's take on what's working this fall for your closet and your home. It's a warm, funny conversation...
The unsexy cleanup that's making room for cozy

It's not sexy, but its necessary.
This sweet slice of shoulder season between summer and winter rest is a great time for a cleanup of some of the more hidden elements of our lives, the less obvious ones. This is the kind of stuff that can be put off for ages, but when it's finally done you realize there was a weight to it.
This is a like a practical co working session with your besties, cause we're in this together. If you uncover something that's been dragging you dow...

Summer Replay!! Nostalgia and its intoxicating effects
Send us Fan Mail
We're bringing back an episode that aired a year ago. Summer is ripe with nostalgia of all kinds, and this one just feels right for the time. The air is hot and smoky for many of us and slowing down to tune into Summer might be just the antidote to any restless "when is it going to snow?" thoughts you might be having right about now.

Two Truths and No Lies
Send us Fan Mail
Move over either-or thinking. We're talking two truths and this is the kind of mind expansion that could blow your mind. Once you see two truths, you'll likely start to see multiple truths. Once you see them its hard to unsee them. The world feels less sharp when there's room for more than one truth- but beware, there's an amount of surrender and acceptance required to hold all those truths. xoxox

See how we did that? It's a funny feedback loop. We take action when something isn't working, but what happens when something does work?? Is positive reinforcement enough to keep us diligent, intuitive, flowy, or disciplined?

You know the feeling...you're going about your business and then *kabang* it hits you that you missed a meeting. Or you missed something important- swap out meeting for whatever fits your life these days.
It can trigger an onslaught of biological response-slight panic, fumbling around trying to make contact with whoever you stood up, the negative self-talk reprimanding yourself for such an oversight. It's a lot.
Today we're talking ourselves through it and giving permission to have a different response. One that simply acknowledges we're human, fallible, and fo...
