EPISODE 39 - Vacation Recaps, Reality TV & Real Talk

This week on She Who Thrives, we're doing a life update episode, and no topic was off limits. From Mindi's Florida anniversary trip and upcoming family vacations to Kaytlen's court update and Harrisen's hopes of being selected for jury duty, we catch you up on what's been happening behind the scenes. We also dive into documentaries like Crash and the Murdoch trial, reality TV drama, online bullying, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and some heavier conversations around racism, unconditional love, and why families should never have to choose between love and acceptance. It's honest, emotional, frustrating, thought-provoking, and exactly the kind of unfiltered conversation you'd have catching up with friends. 💡 Tip of the Week: Don't be a racist asshole. Love people. Respect people. And if prejudice is something you're holding onto, maybe it's time to do some soul-searching.

You do not need to constantly “fix” yourself to be worthy.

Episode 37 – Summer Break: Fun, Chaos & ‘I’m Bored’ Every 5 Minutes

This week on She Who Thrives, we’re talking about the childhood summers that shaped us. For some people, summer meant freedom, cousins, bikes, sprinklers, vacations, and staying out until the streetlights came on. For others, summer felt stressful: switching houses, custody schedules, instability, or trying to navigate divorced and blended family dynamics. In this episode, we talk about: Childhood summer memories, growing up in divorced or blended families, how childhood experiences affect us as adults, summer parenting, vacations, and keeping kids entertained. This conversation is nostalgic, emotional, relatable, and a reminder that kids don’t need perfect summers, they just need to feel safe, loved, and connected. 💡 Tip of the Week: Stop chasing perfection and focus on connection. Those are the memories kids carry forever.
