  • Anxiety, Burnout, Fertility & Finding Motivation
    May 31 2023

    EP22. Miranda almost had a panic attack at a recent wedding and it was a wake up call. We are working to get ahead, become more organized so we can prioritize personal time and mental health. Miranda finally shared about trying to get pregnant on social media (that it wasn't going as well as expected), and how she felt about the "advice and feedback" she received. Finally, she shares about a couple recent podcast episodes that inspired her to get back on the mic and record another podcast after weeks away. We are all going to fall off the horse on our journey towards something great. The important part is getting back up and becoming consistent again.

  • The First "Project" at The New House
    Apr 25 2023

    EP21. Miranda took full advantage of her first and last weekend off during the spring wedding season. She started working on the living room and decided that creating DIY social media content is basically impossible at this point in time. If anything, listen to this episode for a lesson on hanging curtain rods and panels. Our last neighborhood had yards that looked like abandoned haunted houses and now we have an intense HOA. There is so much pressure to keep your house tidy around here. On Sunday, Porter busted out of his crate while we were gone and had explosive diarrhea around the entire main floor. Miranda could do an entire episode on how much the dog stresses her out.

  • Moving Sucks, The Service Industry is Hard
    Apr 6 2023

    EP19. Andrew and Miranda showed up late to the closing on their new house. Ryan has been sick, no one has been sleeping. We move tomorrow! Holy cow! Miranda shares the weekend moving plans, how Andrew might have a broken hand, and then talks about the emotional toll of working in the service industry. If these past few weeks have taught Miranda anything, it's that she needs to show more empathy, grace and compassion for all of the amazing humans she interacts with on a daily basis.

  • Work is Crazy & We Keep Waiting on a Baby
    Apr 6 2023

    EP18. A quick life update (this episode is getting posted one week late). Miranda shares about her Whale of a Sale Kid's Consignment adventures. Ryan pukes for the first time and it breaks Miranda's mama heart. We break down worry vs. anxiety and how our thoughts manifest into physical symptoms within our body. When trying to conceive, the two week wait between ovulation and your period starting is the worst. Buying, selling and moving is so physically and metnally draining! Miranda shares about the final stretch to closing and the dumpseter they had delivered (which she feels so much shame about).

  • We Bought a House?!?!
    Mar 2 2023

    EP 15. It's been a whirlwind of a week. Just when Miranda and Andrew decided that they were taking moving off the table, the house they were considering purchasing ended up with a price drop. They submitted an offer and then it was a mad dash to sell their current home (in like 48 hours)! Wow. It's been a week. They are literally nuts.
