Sometimes friendship can be tricky—especially for kids, and *especially* for those making the big transition to middle school. This week, Laura's talking about this season of parenting, and she shares tangible ways to help a kid going through so many changes find their footing and their people. It can be a hard time for everyone, but just remember: you're all going to make mistakes, and that's okay. As a parent, just try and be a loving support to your kid. That's huge during this season, tbh.   Thanks to our episode sponsors!

127. Simple Cooking Skills That Boost Flavor + Fun in the Kitchen (with Bri McKoy)

+ how to make it lighter // If you have a partner in parenting, chances are you two divide the labor—but is it equal? How much of the small details (making the appointments, soothing the hurts and bad dreams, keeping up with bake sales and family calendars) fall to one parent? And did you decide on that labor, or did it kind of just . . . fall to one parent? Emily shares research and her own experience in how the unseen load of being the default parent has affected her life, her motherhood, and her partnership. And, most importantly, she shares how partners can work together to create a shared vision for their family that allows every family member to flourish—including how to relieve some burden from the parent who's been bearing the brunt of the load.

119. Zillow’s Top DIY Tips to Beautify + Boost Home Value

Want to simplify your life? Creator of The Simplified Planner® Emily Ley and co-hosts Laura Kashner and Liz Holtzman invite you to organize and automate the complicated parts of life, so you can truly focus on what matters most.

A few weeks ago, Emily led a discussion on her Substack that got . . . well, a little attention. It was about alcohol—the expectations we have around it,  the “wine mommy” marketing, what we use it for (to celebrate, to cope) and how that might change (or not!) moving forward. There were so many thoughtful conversations in the comments, Emily thought, Why not ask my own Simplified women about this? She brought Liz and Laura in for their takes around some scientific research and their own personal experience. There aren’t any big prescriptions or takeaways here—just some interesting observations.    ***A note as you listen today: please know this is a judgment-free zone. This topic has a lot of different angles. You may even have strong feelings about what we talk about. That’s okay! Life is filled with things that aren’t black and white. It’s filled with lots and lots of gray. That’s something we’re getting more comfortable with as we get older.   Thanks to our episode sponsors!

A few weeks ago, Emily led a discussion on her <a href="http://emilyley.substack.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Substack</a> that got . . . well, a little attention. It was about alcohol—the expectations we have around it,  the “wine mommy” marketing, what we use it for (to celebrate, to cope) and how that might change (or not!) moving forward. There were so many thoughtful conversations in the comments, Emily thought, Why not ask my own Simplified women about this? She brought Liz and Laura in for their takes around some scientific research and their own personal experience. There aren’t any big prescriptions or takeaways here—just some interesting observations.  ***A note as you listen today: please know this is a judgment-free zone.

116. Summer Bucket Lists: A Simple Way to Create Fun + Memories

Ashlee Gadd

“I cannot show up to be the mom I want to be for Bennett if I don't show up for myself,” says co-host Liz. But when you have so many things pulling at your attention—your kids, your work, your partner, your family and friends—how *do* you find time to show up for yourself?  Ashlee Gadd, found of Coffee + Crumbs, knows this struggle all too well. Ashlee talks with new mama Liz about how she learned to let go of the guilt of not doing it all perfectly, and why pursuing what fills you up benefits everyone around you (especially your kids!). For anyone who pours their time into their children, their work, or any other important areas of their life, you'll find Ashlee's message so relatable—and see freeing.

115. Let Go of Mom Guilt + Fill Your Well (with Ashlee Gadd)

🇬🇧 What we choose to wear communicates a message: What do we value? And how do we want to present ourselves to the world? This is *especially* true for the British Royal Family, says journalist Elizabeth Holmes. Elizabeth is the brilliant mind behind “So Many Thoughts,” a Substack and Instagram series where she breaks down the messages (and history!) behind what the Royals choose to wear. Ahead of King Charles III’s coronation, Emily and Elizabeth break down how Royal style has evolved over the past generation, why there’s a shortage on tiaras (seriously), and the secrets behind the most iconic looks worn by Diana, Kate, Meghan and more. Whether you’re a history buff, a fashionista or a Royal enthusiast, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!   Thanks to our episode sponsors!

114. So Many Thoughts on Royal Coronation Style (with Elizabeth Holmes)

When women come together with open books and open hearts, the best thing happens: connection. When co-host Laura moved to a new town in 2019, she had no idea how she was going to make friends. But a chance encounter with a fellow mom at the neighborhood pool changed Laura’s life—because it led her to her life-giving group, The Book Club Babes! Laura shares easy tips you can use to create your own book club: how to meet your people, decide what to read (spoiler alert: you can read anything you want, it doesn’t have to be books!), why automating your meeting time makes getting together *so* much easier—and why making time to get together matters so much.

111. Tools + Tips for a Fresh Spring Home

Laura Tremaine

“If you want to make one decision to ensure your own health and happiness,” said a recent study from Harvard University, “it should be to cultivate warm relationships of all kinds.” And that includes friendships! But what kinds of friends do we need? And what kind of friend should *we* be? Author and podcaster Laura Tremaine (of 10 Things to Tell You fame!) is here, and she’s written a fantastic new book called The Life Council. And this week, she and Emily are talking about where they’ve shined in their friendships—and where they’ve flopped. They talk about the friends who  stand by them through the awkward and the hard, and bring warmth and meaning and laughter to their days. Above all, they normalize what adult friendship looks like: the good, the bad, the awkward, the wonderful.   Thanks to our episode sponsors!

110. The Must-Have Friends Every Woman Needs (with Laura Tremaine)

What an interesting time to be alive—isn’t that right, Millennials? That’s especially true when it comes to being partnered or married to someone, because the world looks a liiiiiittle different than when our parents were our age and trying to navigate their own relationships (i.e. The economy! A pandemic! Social media!). Laura and Jessa get vulnerable and peel back the curtain on their marriages, each going on dozen years. What’s been the best thing? What’s been super hard? How do they handle the difficult places like parenting and finances? This is a super insightful convo, full of grace and plenty of laughs. After all, as Laura says, “You laugh. You fight. You choose each other over and over. That’s marriage, right?”   **Also, please know you don’t have to be married or partnered to live a full, wholehearted life. Relationships of all kinds bring meaning to our lives.    Thanks to our episode sponsor!

What an interesting time to be alive—isn’t that right, Millennials? That’s especially true when it comes to being partnered or married to someone, because the world looks a liiiiiittle different than when our parents were our age and trying to navigate their own relationships (i.e. The economy! A pandemic! Social media!). Laura and Jessa get vulnerable and peel back the curtain on their marriages, each going on dozen years. What’s been the best thing? What’s been super hard? How do they handle the difficult places like parenting and finances? This is a super insightful convo, full of grace and plenty of laughs. After all, as Laura says, “You laugh. You fight. You choose each other over and over. That’s marriage, right?” **Also, please know you don’t have to be married or partnered to live a full, wholehearted life. Relationships of all kinds bring meaning to our lives.  Thanks to our episode sponsor!
