Episode Synopsis
We're Back! Season 2 Kickoff + Life Lately Catch-Up
We’re back, friends! After an unplanned (but very needed) break, we’re so excited to be jumping into Season 2. In this catch-up episode, we’re taking you behind the scenes of where we’ve been, what’s been going on in our lives, and why hitting pause was actually the healthiest thing we could’ve done—for ourselves, our families, and this podcast.
From quiet celebrations and major life shifts to slow summers, big feelings, family news, and homeschool chaos—we’re covering it all. We’re sharing real, honest updates about divorce, parenting, new rhythms, pregnancy complications, career changes, and even a cat obsession that may or may not be driving us up the wall. It’s raw, lighthearted, emotional, and full of the good stuff that comes with growth.
Timeline Summary:
[0:35] - Why we took a break and learning to practice what we preach

[3:48] - Graduation celebrations and making space for big transitions
[5:24] - Slower summer rhythms and processing deep emotions
