Munch and Mingle

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 most fulfilling...

And here we are again on the roller coaster ride that is through McKenna's head.
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.
And don't forget to check ...

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 finally our whi...

It's McKenna, checking in on your summer, your detox, your everything!

In this episode, I give one last shot at pushing a social media detox for yourself, an update from last year's Service Project and a little pre-party before next week's episode, where Munch and Mingle turns 1!

Reminder: No new episodes in August so you have the whole month to catch up on any missed or favorite episodes from the p...

American's favorite Stake President is back!

David and I go head first on the topics we've both been feeling recently that need to be addressed.

Mortality.
Getting back to the "spiritual" basics.
Revelation.
Navigating truth.

This conversation spoke to my heart so much and I know it will yours too!

Wanna catch up on David's last episode, where we go over his b...

I cannot wait for yall to hear this episode!

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.

Cascade Academy is a residential treatment center that specializes in treating anxiety in teenage girls during some of their most critical years, between the ages of ...

The S word... trust me, it's not what you are thinking!

This is an episode that I guarantee you will want to listen the whole way through!

Frizz (not her given name (; ) walks me through her current life and how she is truly blooming where she is planted.
Are you in a current situation or season that you are just wanting to get to the end of, then settle in because this episode will take you through all t...

The Challenge of all Challenges is HERE!!!! (: 
The Detox Challenge!... specifically the Social Media Detox Challenge!

The Detox is 100 days total: May 30th- Sept 7th!

This is carrying on from my 1st time doing this challenge last year and loving the benefits and experiences I had last year, that I had to do it again! 

But maybe you don't want/need to detox from Social Media, but something else? ...

Welcome back to McKenna's Head.

Had a bit of swirling thoughts in my head, which always leads me to another TIMH episode. And honestly, I hope you love it as much as I do, it's a bit therapeutic! (;

Today's thoughts include: My REAL relationship with food, how I'm learning to choose what really is the best thing for quality of my personal life, marriage and family (and just how much I am like M...

Surprise! He's back! Mr. Munch & Mingle! And he's graduated! In none other than Exercise Science/Wellness so I pick Britt's brain on what is such a hot topic right now.
To give you a hint, it's pretty simple, but that's the beauty of this life, isn't it?

We tackle on 4 different Blocks that we feel make up "good health" Britton is so passionate about this topic and I can&apos...

Is anybody else feeling that shifting or stirring happening around them? Just me?
I have to think someone else is feeling this. 
Something is calling us all to be a little less 'earthly' and a little more 'heavenly'. To not be mean, but to be kind.
This was a topic I studied in my scriptures last week and felt very moved to share what I learned. What I thought was super cool is a lot of this episode ...

Trust me when I say, Linda is much more then just the Avon Lady! Come with me as we sit down with who is affectionately known in our house as, Grandmommy. 
The great-grandma to my boys, but also someone I'm so thankful I'm blessed to have in my life.
We go through Grandmommy's timeline of starting at Avon and the ripe age of 47 and working all the way up and through the executive chain for almost 15 years.

Mikell is back! And I'm so happy she is! I had seen on one of Mikell's instagram stories that a recent change had happened in her life: She started homeschooling.

Mikell will tell you that she was the last person that would ever think about homeschooling her kids. What I think is most amazing about this episode is how it really was, bit by bit, that Mikell's mind was opened to homeschool and how she now says...

This is an episode that every parent needs to hear for sure, but after listening through it multiple times (because yes, it's just that good) everyone needs to hear it!

I talk with Alliesha today who is the owner of the Aquatics Academy, a swim school in South Jordan, Utah. Alliesha goes through how water has played a big part in her life, how her and her husband turned an old rec center into what is now known as The ...

Good Friday. This episode might be my favorite so far, because it opened up my own heart and mind the most!

I will be posting an episode every day this week, as I go along Heidi's devotional, leading up to Easter!  ...
