In this episode of Cozy Conversations, Lauren and Michelle dive into the everyday magic of carving out a life beyond the roles of parent, partner, and professional. From caffeine rituals to lakeside musings at Diamond Lake, they reflect on the quiet joy of doing something just for you - whether it’s a hobby, a passion project, or simply getting lost in a good book without being interrupted by a toddler asking for a snack... again.
With their signature blend of humor, honesty, and sisterly banter, they discuss the importance of maintaining a sense of self - especially in the beautiful chaos of motherhood. You’ll hear reflections on parenting challenges, organization hacks, and how creativity (and a good dose of 'me time') can help you feel more human.
They also spotlight a local artist whose story reminds us that art, passion, and community can be powerful tools for healing and self-expression. And yes, there's a bit of pop culture, a few wheezy laughs, and reminders that cozy doesn't just mean candles, it means living a life that feels like you.
So pour a cup, step outside for a stroll, or hide in your closet for some peace and quiet, and enjoy the convo.
Hot Topics: Perfect Wife (HULU), The Gilded Age (HBO), and Charlie Kirk.
