Summary
In this solo episode, I reflect on turning 34 and share the key life lessons I've learned this past year. From focusing on my mental health to embracing imperfection, I dive into how these lessons have shaped my approach to motherhood, relationships, and self-acceptance. I explore the importance of female friendships, letting go of perfection, and focusing on what truly matters in life. Excited for the year ahead and continuing to make all of these lessons a priority!
Key Takeaway / Points:
- Prioritizing mental health is crucial
- Focusing on joy and things that actually matter to you is key
- Stop spending time trying to be someone else
- Letting go of the idea of perfection is liberating
- Allowing yourself to feel your feelings
- Strong female friendships are the backbone of happiness
- Vulnerability is a superpower, not a weakness
- Your body size and weight are the least interesting things about you
- Feeling connected in your marriage is essential for a happy household
- Kids care more about how you make them feel than your success outside the home

| 0:26.6 | For the summer I turned pretty right now my cousin just came up with that title and I'm obsessed with it because I am down bad for the |
| 0:40.0 | summer I turn pretty right now. As I'm recording this, episode six released today and it's like |
| 0:46.1 | fighting every bone in my body to not watch it the second I woke up this morning. But we dealt with |
| 0:52.6 | a wedding of the bed at 4.30. So I was just not in the spirits at 6 a.m. to watch the summer I turned pretty. And I'm saving it for tonight because I've been binging and I'm finally now caught up live. And I'm happy about that to be able to discuss it with everyone. And I'm also like, how am I supposed to wait a week in between episodes and how |
| 1:11.7 | did you all wait like two years in between season two and three? I don't know. But I'm loving it |
| 1:17.3 | and because this is the summer I turned 34 and we're going to talk about lessons and things I've |
| 1:24.3 | learned over life and especially more recently. This episode is now the summer. |
| 1:29.9 | I turned 34. And let me just say, summer has been getting a lot of hate lately. I feel like I've |
| 1:34.7 | seen a lot of stuff on my social media about like, fuck August. I hate the summer. August is the |
| 1:40.1 | worst month ever. No, I am a summer baby through and through. I love the summer. It is where |
| 1:46.6 | I feel my most authentic self. It is where I come alive. Like I feel my personality defrosting |
| 1:52.5 | in the end of May, probably because I get to spend so much time at the beach, which is like my |
| 1:57.3 | happy place. And I will also say, I am the type of person that at the end of every season, I'm excited for the next season. So while I love August so much, because it's when I take my annual vacation with my family and I'm like fully off the grid, which I cannot wait for the last week of August. So right now, while you're listening to this episode, and it's my birthday and I'm such a birthday person. I love my birthday. And it's the time where I feel like I get to spend so much time in my happy place. I get to see my family and friends a lot. I tend to kind of try to pull back on work. I also am so excited for the fall because whenever I pull back on work a little bit, I get more excited to dive back in, which I think is a good thing, hopefully. |
| 2:36.1 | So I'm getting that itch a little bit for fall, where it's like, okay, I am itching to be able to comfortably wear, honestly, this outfit, I changed when I got to the studio because it's hot as fucking balls outside. |
| 2:47.0 | But to dress for the fall, to do fall things, for it to be cool in the morning on my walks with |
| 2:53.1 | Turley, to have the ample time to like dive into work and not be traveling every weekend. And |
