Today’s podcast episode wasn’t planned.

 I didn’t think I was going to record the morning that I did — but felt compelled to do so.

 I got up early in the morning to do my thing, but read a headline that a blogger I once knew and followed a million years ago (15 years ago, but who’s counting…)

 had died.

 and it shook me.

 So I began recording.

 Listen in as I share my thoughts, process my feelings in real-time, and share my key take-aways on the way writing online has shifted and morphed throughout the years and why it’s still something that I do, and am proud of.

Heather Armstrong, the blogger I’m discussing, took her own life.

I do not go into detail, but if you can already tell that this isn’t something you want to know anything about —

 don’t listen.

 Within this episode I write about how I got started blogging, how deciding on purpose to start a website and stick to it (with my rudimentary business plan!) changed the trajectory of my life forever and how proud I am of the boundaries I put in place from the very beginning.

 I read an excerpt from The Mommy Blogger Next Door: AKA How I Became the CrockPot Lady and also share a few other episodes that may be of interest.

 episode 16: matching your identity with integrity

episode 33: dealing with childhood trauma

episode 34: interview with Sandy Cooper

episode 44: ignoring influencers

episode 58: sober curious

episode 79: imperfect parenting

Overview

I love helping listeners embark upon their own journey to Slow Down, and live the life they’ve always dreamt about: one filled with peace, purpose, and abundance.

I understand how you’re feeling when you are rushing around trying to do “all the things,” always playing catch up and finding time to get things done.

I know because I’m a mom too.

It’s okay to stop and breathe. My philosophy isn’t about cramming more and more into an already over-packed schedule, instead I offer realistic tips and plans to get things done quickly and efficiently so you can do things you want to do.
