The Fertility Journey: Hope, Heartache & Healing

Planning For Your 2026

This week on "The Homework Podcast", Sharlyn and Joy make the case for starting the new year early like, October early. What begins as side eye over someone saying “Happy New Year” turns into a soulful (and surprisingly funny) conversation about getting quiet, listening for life’s whispers, and preparing for the high energy Fire Horse year ahead. They unpack burnout, self care, and why reflection now beats scrambling in January so you can ride into 2026 with clarity instead of getting dragged by the reins.

The Fertility Journey: Hope, Heartache & Healing

This week on The Homework Podcast, Joy and Sharlyn get real about the highs and lows of fertility—from IVF and financial stress to faith, community, and self-compassion. With personal stories and professional insight, they shine a light on the emotional, physical, and spiritual sides of this deeply human experience.

Routines, Puppies & the Beautiful Chaos of Change

This week on The Homework Podcast, Joy and Sharlyn are joined by Producer Mike for a delightfully real talk on the power and disruption of routine. From poop schedules to puppy blues, this episode covers everything from acupuncture's rhythm resetting magic to how a tiny boxer pup named Birdie turned Mike’s life into a sleepless, bark filled Thunderdome. Expect laughs, truth bombs, and a whole lot of “same” as they explore how routines ground us, why shaking them up can spark growth, and what to do when your life suddenly feels like a sitcom with no commercial breaks. Whether you’re navigating corporate chaos, new pets, or just trying to poop on schedule this episode is your feel-good guide to riding the waves of change without losing your mind (or your lunch). ==== Where You Can Find Us!

Inclusion is Not a Checkbox

This week on The Homework Podcast, Joy and Sharlyn are diving into the big, bold topic of DEI in the workplace—what’s working, what’s... not, and why “diversity” shouldn’t just be a buzzword slapped on a PowerPoint slide. They get real about the recent backpedaling on inclusion efforts, the magic of actual human connection (remember that?), and how leaders can stop faking it and start showing up authentically. It’s part pep talk, part reality check, and a full-on invitation to imagine a workplace where you're not just tolerated—you’re celebrated. So grab your notebook, light that self-care candle, and get ready to dream up the workplace you actually deserve. ==== Where You Can Find Us! thehomeworkpod.com [https://thehomeworkpod.com]
