155: Life Lately: Feeling Happy as Hell

Aug 3

In this solo episode, I give a full catch up on my postpartum health and current relationship with my body, my marriage and friendships, and the gratitude I feel for following my intuition about my career and lifestyle. I share my ongoing experience working with a dietician, my inner debate about whether to publicly share my happy moments, and how Joe and I are infusing excitement into our date nights and battling the repetitive date night slump. I also dive into my best friends’ recent wedding and the joy of seeing the people you love living their best lives, my journey with feeling confidence in my friendships, and the validation I feel in challenging how we feel we “have” to dress, look like, and live to be our happiest.
