After three incredible years of Barb Knows Best, we’re excited to evolve and relaunch as Life Happens Podcast—where we dive deeper into navigating life's ups and downs through the lens of our unique mother-daughter dynamic.

In our debut episode, we’re reflecting on the evolution of our relationship as parent and adult child. We’ll explore the growth, changes, and lessons we’ve learned along the way, and how we’ve tackled life’s challenges together.

Barb shares the wisdom she’s gained as a mother, embracing each new chapter of her daughter’s journey, while Michelle opens up about the lessons learned from her mom and how they face obstacles side by side. 

Here’s what you can expect from today’s episode:

Embrace Change: Relationships are constantly evolving, and life is full of surprises. Stay present, stay curious, and embrace the lessons and growth that come with the twists and turns.

Prioritize the Pause: Clarity starts with awareness. The best way to understand your emotions and gain perspective is to take a moment to pause—breathe, reflect, and then respond. This is especially powerful in heated moments.

Accept Life’s Challenges: Life isn’t always easy, but how we view and navigate challenges makes all the difference. Focus on what you can control and take proactive steps toward solutions.

Find Freedom in Letting go of Control: We can’t change or control others, but we hold the power to shape our own actions. By having honest conversations, setting healthy boundaries, and approaching situations with compassion, we create the space for growth and understanding.

From releasing control and embracing change to acknowledging your emotions and overcoming challenges, this episode is packed with heartfelt insights and valuable wisdom for all.!

We’re so grateful to have you with us! As a mother-daughter duo, we’re passionate about sharing the lessons we’ve learned through our own journeys, with the hope of inspiring others to live their best lives, no matter what life throws their way.

See you next Tuesday for another episode of Life Happens the Podcast💕
