Planting, cleaning, and healing. A Curated Life on a Friday.

A Guilty Mental Health Day.

Welcome to the first episode of the summer series by A Curated Life and The New Wives Tales ladies Katerina and Taylor.  To kick off the summer, we are talking about our mental health, learning to recognize when we need a break, and how to get the recuperation we deserve.  Thanks for being a part of our community! Love, Katerina and Taylor

Planting, cleaning, and healing. A Curated Life on a Friday.

A little message to keep you company today.  Listen on your way to or from work, while you get ready in the morning, or while you cook a good meal.  Here are my thoughts going into this Friday. The last couple days, I have been on a crusade in my home to organize every inch of this place.  There are 1,000 things I need to be doing, but it's hard to accomplish anything knowing that things are not in order in my home space.  I've been doing a lot of planting in my yard.  Warm weather has been coming in and out, teasing us, and I want to remind everyone that if you are hoping to build up your outdoor space this year, now is the time to get started! Speaking of outdoors, does anyone else pretend they don't have allergies when they clearly do? I forget every year that I have this issue, and I'm always surprised when the runny nose sets in... but with little kids around you, who doesn't always have a runny nose anyway? On a serious note, a message I keep seeing that I am meditating on: It is not your fault that you were hurt, but it is your responsibility to heal. Have a fabulous day. Love, Katerina

Feeling Overwhelmed. Katerina.

Join me for a chat on feeling overwhelmed and how I handle the stress when it starts to feel like a little too much.  We all have too many balls to juggle at times, and rather than just drop everything it's important to assess exactly what you're feeling and how we might be able to send our nervous system signals to calm down. Thanks and love, Katerina

Notes to our past selves. Erin and Katerina.

Join Erin and I for the kick off of a new season in A Curated Life podcast! We are bringing the new year in strong with a talk about things we would say to our past selves, what it’s taken to evolve, and how we are different now. Somehow, even with mentions of psych wards, divorce, postpartum, and unhealthy coping, it still feels like we have only scratched the surface. You won’t want to miss this guest, and Erin will definitely have to come back on the podcast as she showed up fully as her authentic and genuine self.  Thank you so much Erin for being such an engaging and interesting conversation partner! And, as always, thank you to those who watch and listen. This community is so beautiful because of each unique person who engages with us! With love and appreciation, Katerina Happy new year : )

Traveling with Small Children. A Curated Life. Katerina.

In this episode, I take on the intimidating task of solo chatting about traveling with tiny humans.  I have flown many times with my babies, including my most recent trip when I travelled alone with my 4 year old, 3 year old, and infant.  Here I do my best to lay out all the things that come to mind for success when hitting the road with tiny chichis.  Living your best life might look like never leaving the house when you have a baby, but in case your hold any dreams/fantasies about getting to leave your backyard for an adventure one day, I hope this helps! Thanks and love, Katerina
