Read all the motivational advice your smile, heart, and mind have for you. We had a wonderful chat with Niki Svara, the author of Piece Talks, about her journey of self-acceptance and what led her to write her book (spoiler: it was a download).

So it's summer time, and with all that freedom comes responsibility. In this podcast we talk about the ways we give structure to the long days of summer. We also chat about the importance of spending gift certificates quickly. Did you know Americans have a collective $23-billion in unused gift certificates! WHAT? That's right, don't add to it. Many states have laws that protect the value of your gift certificate. Alegre also talks about her hilarious perm experiences.

Summer is almost here, and even though travel and day camps have (probably) been chosen, there are still other plans to make.

Having children in the 0-5 age range is a marathon that can feel never-ending. It takes a lot of time and energy to keep another human alive!

However, what we learned was we had an opportunity to rebuild our lives for the next season! Join us for our chat on rebuilding your life as a mom when kids are 5+.

We frequently say "Planning Makes Everything Easier" and it's so true. The only way Natascha and I manage our lives as individuals, as moms/partners/daughters/friends, as creatives, as entrepreneurs is because we practice the habit of planning. There's a saying that "one minute of planning saves you ten minutes of doing". Can you imagine how much time and energy you'll save? Take 15 minutes to plan tomorrow and save yourself two-and-a-half hours!

Studies show that PLANNING reduces stress and anxiety which is why both of us have a habit of taking 5-10 minutes on Sunday to plan our week before it starts. Planning is the process of thinking about the steps needed to achieve a goal. This can be a goal as small as repainting a piece of furniture or as large as buying a home. No matter the goal, if you start by planning it out you will create a cascade of benefits in your life including: reduced stress and a higher likelihood of following through. As we often say, "Planning is always the first step." Which is why we are such big fans of planning your week before it starts.
