Conference Weekend was here and now its gone...or is it?

So many times I've been able to try and gather what information or quotes I could out of conference, only to then not think about it again until 6 months later when the next General Conference is here.

Not any more! Last April, I had a super strong feeling to really go through all the talks at Conference and look for an answer to a question I got from an inv...

Have you felt it? The heaviness? The numbness? All in all, it's been a couple of hard days and now moving on into weeks. No matter where you're standing, you've most likely be affected in some way by the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

I know I have, so I've been trying to put into words and feelings of how I'm attempting to process it all and move forward and at least for right now, I've ...

Come along as we talk about all the things I've learned as well as gained, we highlight some goals as well as making the rest of the year go out with a bang and it's the end of Summer, which you know what that means....Social Media Detox.

Is there something in the air? Are y'all feeling it? This is not the episode I planned for, but above all I hope this episode finds you in good spirits and high hopes for whatever is about to come.
Whenever there is time for change, I'm usually the last to follow it, but it has finally caught up to me, and I've had some pretty big realizations of certain things that need to change in my life, for m...

Get out your pen and paper or pull up your phone notes tab, we are going to be making some goals!
Did y'all know that people who set specific goals are 10 times more likely to succeed then those who don't?
Well I'm going to make sure that you are one of those people who SUCCEED! 
I've tried to include what I feel is going to help you most feel like you are staying on track and on purpo...

The first of what I hope to be many, a little bit of help from Mr. Munch & Mingle himself, to talk all things football!
As a former athlete, I wanted to get Brit's take on the newest major changes in college football including:
- The New college Playoff format
- The transfer portal 
and we also play a little game trying to get Brit's feel on some key players in the college football world...

I promised you a birth story, and you got it!

But, I also wanted to do a middle of the summer check in, especially if you are along on this no social media challenge! Because if you haven't already, I've imagined you've hit some hard walls and I'm not sure why, but anytime I've done this challenge something new is presented and it's like, "Dang, this sucks!"

I love when Munch & Mingle gets to work its way through a family tree! Today I sit down with the sister in law of a past guest (Alyssa Mecham - The S Word).
Corinne Mecham and I have never met in person until this episode, all I had heard about her was how awesome she was as a sister in law, a mother of 3 and how she delivered all 3 of her kids, NATURALLY !
I became intrigued and interested, especially wi...

I can't wait for you to meet Blondie (yes, it's one of those friends again with the nicknames ;)  ) and hear her story. What I love so much about this episode is going through her timeline, because it's filled with so many redirecting. I think sometimes we think there is only 1 path to get to the 1 destination we want, but Blondie just reminded me of how redirecting is truly what can bring some of the ...

Today I will be talking and catching you up on all things that have been going on during my 1st trimester of this 3rd pregnancy, a quick little pep talk on preparing for the Holiday Season and lastly, a topic that I heard this last week referring to the "Gray Area" and just what I think about that.

Hannah and I recorded this episode in the middle of the summer, right after we had attended Girls Camp.

I'm so excited for you all to listen and to meet Hannah. She is one of the girls that everyone needs in their arsenal of confidants. 

Hannah talks about her time playing BYU rugby, meeting her husband, a very powerful lesson she learned (and teaches us) about the Savior and His Atonement and ...

What was just a normal drive through Midway, like Britt and I always do, ended with me seeing a sign I never noticed before to not having one of the most coolest interviews with some of the coolest people.
