Ever feel like everyone's got their life figured out, except for you? Ever feel lost, sad, overwhelmed, or just plain confused about this whole adulting thing? Get cozy and join me for a refreshingly honest and open chat with the fabulous Angela Boyd. Forget the fancy studios and expert interviews; this episode is all about two women sharing their experiences, anxieties, and a few heartwarming laughs.

Angela – life coach, entrepreneur, fellow mom, and an all-around amazing woman – gets real about how she navigated sadness, burnout, and all those "what am I doing?!" moments life throws our way. Forget fancy studios and expert interviews – this episode is all about two women sharing their experiences, anxieties, and a few heartwarming laughs.

Prepare to be inspired (and maybe a little relieved you're not alone!) as we delve into:

• Pandemic Ponderings: Turns out, a global crisis can really make you re-evaluate your yoga pant collection and life choices. We explore how Angela used this time for some serious soul-searching.
• The Ups & Downs of Momhood: From "they grow up so fast" to "please stop drawing on the walls," we chat openly about the ever-changing joys and challenges of motherhood.
• Saying "No" More Often: Because even superwomen need a break! We discuss the importance of setting boundaries and guarding your sanity, especially when your office is also your living room.
• The Power of Letting Go: Sometimes the best thing you can do is, well, nothing! We explore the art of letting go of things (or even people!) that don't spark joy anymore.

This episode is your cozy corner of the internet for a dose of real talk, relatable experiences, and a reminder that you're not alone in this crazy thing called life.

So, grab your headphones, settle in, and get ready for a conversation that's as inspiring as it is ordinary.

With much Aloha,

Olga @YelloBirdie

In this episode I'm so excited to welcome back the delightful Mina Grace Ward, who appeared on the show earlier in the year. We reflect on the lessons, growth, and truly transformative moments of this year. Mina candidly reminds us of the power of intuition, the importance of trust, and the beauty of creating space for ourselves amidst life’s demands. We explore the art of listening—whether it’s to your body, your heart, or that inner voice guiding you toward what feels right. I hope you join us in celebrating growth & finding inspiration in the extraordinary moments of everyday life, even before this year is over.

Key Takeaways:

1. Trusting Your Gut: Whether it’s in relationships or career decisions, learning to listen to what your body and heart are telling you can lead to profound clarity.
2. The Power of Reflection: Taking time to look back at the year—both the highs and the challenges—helps us honor our growth and embrace the lessons.
3. Setting Boundaries with Love: Boundaries aren’t barriers—they’re acts of self-care. Saying “no” to what drains you is saying “yes” to what truly nourishes you.
4. Celebrating Your Journey: No matter where you are or how messy life may feel, you are exactly where you need to be. Trust the process.
