In this bonus clip, Miranda McDaniel and Noelle DeLaCruz get candid about what they say “yes” to too easily, what’s hard to say “no” to, and where they’re still growing when it comes to joy, rest, and boundaries.

 

From Uber hustle days to bedtime routines, this conversation is a reminder that even the most intentional people have their struggles—and that’s okay. It’s all about practice.
