The Slow Way Home: What We Learned on the Road Back to Seattle

Redefining Fitness After Motherhood

In this episode of In This Season, I share my first interview ever with fitness coach and mom Nemesia Park. We talk about her journey from owning a gym to becoming a stay at home mom and online coach, how motherhood reshaped her sense of strength, and what sustainable fitness looks like in real life. We also discuss postpartum recovery, mental health, and the importance of patience and self compassion during different seasons of life. This conversation is honest, unedited, and meant to support anyone navigating postpartum or redefining their relationship with movement and wellness. You can find Nemesia on Instagram at @nemesianani, where she shares fitness, postpartum support, and coaching resources. https://www.instagram.com/nemesianani?igsh=MWR0cTJ5OWJyOHMxcA== [https://www.instagram.com/nemesianani?igsh=MWR0cTJ5OWJyOHMxcA==]

The Slow Way Home: What We Learned on the Road Back to Seattle

In this follow-up to our California road trip, I share the slower scenic route we took on the way back to Seattle. We drove through Chico, Lassen Volcanic National Park, Klamath Falls, Crater Lake, Bend, and Sisters. This is another unedited episode recorded in the real life chaos of parenting. I hope it gives you ideas for planning your own family road trip.

Seattle to California, Road Tripping With Two Under Three (Unedited Version)

This episode was recorded outside with my toddler playing and the dogs barking in the background. It’s real life. I share what it’s actually like to drive from Seattle to California with two kids under three and two dogs. No edits, no filters. Just what worked, what didn’t, and how we stayed grounded through the chaos of a sixteen-hour drive.

The Pause That Changed Everything

After an unplanned break, I return to the mic and to myself. In this episode, I share what the pause taught me, how ketamine therapy shaped my healing, how I show up in motherhood, marriage, and creativity. Plus, a look at what’s next for In This Season and the new project I’m launching soon. This podcast is for informational and storytelling purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

Working, Mothering, and Finding My Rhythm

Balancing Work and Two Under Two. In this episode of In the Season, I share what life looks like right now, working full-time while raising two young children. It’s not always balanced or quiet, but it’s ours. From early mornings to bedtime routines, I talk about what’s helping me stay grounded, the messy beauty of this season, and the perspective that keeps me going. If you’re in it too, I hope this reminds you you’re not alone.
