Being a Three-Hour Mom, What About Me-ism + Mormon Wives OC Realness
In this episode, we're digging into a big cultural conversation about trade-offs, ambition and motherhood.

In this episode, I’m taking you inside our Palm Springs trip - how I made it happen (the juggle is real!), the booking strategies I swear by to get great rates (my hotel hack will seriously surprise you!), and the little things that made it feel so good once we were there.
We’re talking slow mornings, pool time, and the kind of reading that you can’t put down (yes, I’m sharing my thoughts on Strangers by Belle Burden - the book everyone is talking about right now).

And of course, some recos and catch-up along the way - the kind of conv...

I’m sharing how that conversation unfolded, what it brought up for me, and how it ultimately strengthened the relationship.
