  • When Doing It All Is Undoing You with Alyssa Bethke- Episode 920
    Sep 16 2024
    Today on the show, my friend Alyssa Bethke is here and you’re in for a treat. Alyssa and her family recently moved to Nashville from MAUI, so we talked all about the transition and what that’s been like and then dug into her latest book, When Doing it All is Undoing You. Does anyone else get overwhelmed when fall rhythms start back?! We talk about trying to to do too much, holding everything together, managing and controlling our circumstances. What do we do when we start falling apart? I think you'll really like this one. . . . . Want to watch this episode on YouTube?

  • AFD in NYC Episode 9: What Have I Done?
    Sep 13 2024
    A few days ago, I did a question box on my instagram about my dual citizenship between Nashville and New York City, particularly about being in New York since I currently am. One of the questions that was asked was “Have there been any surprising disappointments in this otherwise fun year?” And while I was able to answer most of the submitted questions on the little one slide of an instagram story, this one deserves a whole episode. Because yes, while this has been a very fun experience, it has also been very very hard. And disappointing. If you have thoughts to share, there’s a great place for that on instagram… @thatsoundsfunpodcast. I’d love to hear anything that came up for you in this episode and any suggestions of topics you’d like to hear future episodes about. .....

    Today we’re talking about something we LOVE to dig into around here: unplugging from all of the noise. My friend Hannah Brencher is joining us and her latest book, The Unplugged Hours, comes out in September so we’re going to talk about how we do all of this well. We even recorded a little bonus conversation just for Single Purpose League to talk about the nuances of being single, but also needing to disconnect and unplug and how to feel safe and secure when we do that.
