Munch and Mingle

Get out your pen and paper or pull up your phone notes tab, we are going to be making some goals!
Did y'all know that people who set specific goals are 10 times more likely to succeed then those who don't?
Well I'm going to make sure that you are one of those people who SUCCEED! 
I've tried to include what I feel is going to help you most feel like you are staying on track and on purpose as we contin...

The first of what I hope to be many, a little bit of help from Mr. Munch & Mingle himself, to talk all things football!
As a former athlete, I wanted to get Brit's take on the newest major changes in college football including:
- The New college Playoff format
- The transfer portal 
and we also play a little game trying to get Brit's feel on some key players in the college football world!
This is f...

The Pep talks of all Pep talks is here...well okay, a McKenna styled pep talk is here!
We are almost exactly 3 months away from ending 2024 and if you know me, you know I am a planner, which means, let's get to planning!
As always, after the summer detox I feel we need a good reset and I promise you are not going to want to miss this one!

Don't forget to text me! Tell me what your final goal of the year i...

How is it already that time of that year again? Yes, if you didn't know it, I love my birthday! And this year is the golden birthday, so we had to celebrate with an episode of course! But I also love my best friends and in particular, Carolyn Hedin. I'm so excited yall get to meet her, you'll love her!
We decided to put together a list of the top 30 things we have learned as we approach our 30th birthdays!
So...

I promised you a birth story, and you got it!

But, I also wanted to do a middle of the summer check in, especially if you are along on this no social media challenge! Because if you haven't already, I've imagined you've hit some hard walls and I'm not sure why, but anytime I've done this challenge something new is presented and it's like, "Dang, this sucks!"

Yet, once I&apos...

My all time favorite year book send off...H.A.G.S....Have a Great Summer!

But not sure about y'all, it seems since being out of school, my summer's have been pretty blah!

Not recently though and definitely not this year! Not this summer! I believe I have found the best way for you to truly Have a Great Summer!

I'm so happy to be back on the pod! Thanks again for bearing with me these past f...

I love when Munch & Mingle gets to work its way through a family tree! Today I sit down with the sister in law of a past guest (Alyssa Mecham - The S Word).
Corinne Mecham and I have never met in person until this episode, all I had heard about her was how awesome she was as a sister in law, a mother of 3 and how she delivered all 3 of her kids, NATURALLY !
I became intrigued and interested, especially with my past two ...

I can't wait for you to meet Blondie (yes, it's one of those friends again with the nicknames ;)  ) and hear her story. What I love so much about this episode is going through her timeline, because it's filled with so many redirecting. I think sometimes we think there is only 1 path to get to the 1 destination we want, but Blondie just reminded me of how redirecting is truly what can bring some of the most fulfilling...

And here we are again on the roller coaster ride that is through McKenna's head.
Today I will be talking and catching you up on all things that have been going on during my 1st trimester of this 3rd pregnancy, a quick little pep talk on preparing for the Holiday Season and lastly, a topic that I heard this last week referring to the "Gray Area" and just what I think about that.
And don't forget to check ...

Hannah and I recorded this episode in the middle of the summer, right after we had attended Girls Camp.

I'm so excited for you all to listen and to meet Hannah. She is one of the girls that everyone needs in their arsenal of confidants. 

Hannah talks about her time playing BYU rugby, meeting her husband, a very powerful lesson she learned (and teaches us) about the Savior and His Atonement and finally our whi...

And just like that, it's Fall and our Social Media Detox is over!
I wasn't originally going to post today, but didn't want to miss a time to remember what today is and what happened.
I share a bit of the exciting news we have in our family at the moment and how this year's detox went!
Don't forget to let me know how your summer went and also be sure to check out our sponsor, BetterHelp!

Happy 1 year, Munch and Mingle!

And what better way to celebrate then with a full on fan-girl moment! The one, the only, Julianne Donaldson!

It's McKenna, checking in on your summer, your detox, your everything!

In this episode, I give one last shot at pushing a social media detox for yourself, an update from last year's Service Project and a little pre-party before next week's episode, where Munch and Mingle turns 1!

Reminder: No new episodes in August so you have the whole month to catch up on any missed or favorite episodes from the p...

American's favorite Stake President is back!

David and I go head first on the topics we've both been feeling recently that need to be addressed.

Mortality.
Getting back to the "spiritual" basics.
Revelation.
Navigating truth.

This conversation spoke to my heart so much and I know it will yours too!

Wanna catch up on David's last episode, where we go over his b...

I cannot wait for yall to hear this episode!

What was just a normal drive through Midway, like Britt and I always do, ended with me seeing a sign I never noticed before to not having one of the most coolest interviews with some of the coolest people.

Cascade Academy is a residential treatment center that specializes in treating anxiety in teenage girls during some of their most critical years, between the ages of ...

The S word... trust me, it's not what you are thinking!

This is an episode that I guarantee you will want to listen the whole way through!

Frizz (not her given name (; ) walks me through her current life and how she is truly blooming where she is planted.
Are you in a current situation or season that you are just wanting to get to the end of, then settle in because this episode will take you through all t...

The Challenge of all Challenges is HERE!!!! (: 
The Detox Challenge!... specifically the Social Media Detox Challenge!

The Detox is 100 days total: May 30th- Sept 7th!

This is carrying on from my 1st time doing this challenge last year and loving the benefits and experiences I had last year, that I had to do it again! 

But maybe you don't want/need to detox from Social Media, but something else? ...

Welcome back to McKenna's Head.

Had a bit of swirling thoughts in my head, which always leads me to another TIMH episode. And honestly, I hope you love it as much as I do, it's a bit therapeutic! (;

Today's thoughts include: My REAL relationship with food, how I'm learning to choose what really is the best thing for quality of my personal life, marriage and family (and just how much I am like M...

Surprise! He's back! Mr. Munch & Mingle! And he's graduated! In none other than Exercise Science/Wellness so I pick Britt's brain on what is such a hot topic right now.
To give you a hint, it's pretty simple, but that's the beauty of this life, isn't it?

We tackle on 4 different Blocks that we feel make up "good health" Britton is so passionate about this topic and I can&apos...
