Emily shares a few ways to find “enough” and sit in the warm glow of hope, even when we’re struggling.   Thanks to our episode sponsors!

130. What I Wish I Knew in my 20s
Do you ever wish you could go back and tell your Past Self something? Maybe to slow down, or to care for herself in a tender and loving way? Maybe to take that chance, or go after that job, or let go of that guy (and the gaucho pants) that aren't serving her? In this moving episode, Liz and Laura chat about the decade that helped them grow into the women they are today, and the wise lessons they learned and earned along the way.    And PS: when you sit down and think about the ways you've grown, it's heartwarming to see how far you've come.

129. Kids Sports: Cultivating Teamwork, New Comfort Zones, + More Life Lessons
When you become a parent, no one tells you how much time and energy—and, let's be real, money—you're going to spend on your child's extracurricular activities, especially sports. Is playing a sport even worth it? As a former athlete and current proud Sports Mom, Laura says YES! This week, she's sharing why the commitment to play a sport is so worthwhile for kids. From learning how to push yourself, to being a helpful teammate and leader, to embracing progress over perfection and learning lessons from failure and trying again, playing a sport can be a practice field for the game of life. Plus, they're just plain *fun!*   Thanks to our episode sponsors!
