Children coming out to parents about being gay isn’t always an easy thing. While some are okay with it, there will always be others who are opposed to the idea.
But like it or not, there is always a possibility that your child may be gay and this is what we want to share in our episode today.
Our very special guest is my 18-year-old daughter Nyla. She will be sharing her experience with you on how it was for her to come out to us, her parents, as well as to other family members and friends. She also shares her journey from how she knew to now that she’s living with her girlfriend.
If you are a parent, Nyla also shares her thoughts on how to approach talking to children about the topic. It’s a super informative episode that will touch and open your minds and hearts.
This week on my Happy Hour podcast I am celebrating 100 episodes! This is a huge milestone and I am so grateful for the support over the last 3 years. I am taking a few weeks break as I work on new content and shows for season 3- AND coming back with two new members of the Happy Hour team!
Help me to welcome Stefanie and Angie (you may remember them from episodes 97 and 99)!
A lil about Stefanie- she is a momma of two beautiful kiddos and lives in Newport Beach California with her husband and family. She is a nurse and is also certified as a birth and postpartum doula. She is also a beautiful yoga instructor and she brings a passionate and healing touch to all that she does. Learn more about Stefanie here.
A lil about Angie- is a momma to two cute as hell dogs and a cranky but adorable cat. She lives in Savannah Georgia with her fiancé. She is a lawyer and brings a feisty and determined attitude to all she does and is an incredible lawyer that fights for her clients and firm. She is also starting her yoga teacher training as she is passionate about learning and growing.
Also in this episode I revisit my ask regarding the division that quarantine/masks/pandemic is causing- and how our own behaviors are making us sick (or susceptible at best). You can also read the full blog post here.
Man, how are you feeling right now? A couple friends and I have a chat on my podcast this week and talk about how quarantine is going.
Warning: we are slap happy at times, pissed at other times, and just ridiculous at other times.
Would love to hear how your quarantine is going. What are you doing during this time that is working and what is just not working?
One thing that helps me, is to plan for something yummy in the future. Like my yoga & wine beach retreat happening this October. Also finding fun and creative ways to connect with people now has really helped. Like my virtual alignment retreat happening in June.
Would love to know what you are planning or doing during this time?
So excited to be with Dee again today as we talk about something that landed powerfully on us both. Glennon's new book- Untamed.
This book has so many life/soul lessons that land perfectly albeit challenging in this season of life.
Join Dee and I as we chat about aspects of this book that resonated with us and share with us if you have read it and what you think!
I had a blast recently with some of my closest friends as we shared our quarantine experiences during our 'virtual happy hour'. We talked all about what is just shitty and what is working (and we are appreciating) during this quarantined time.
Some of our observations may align with some of yours, or perhaps you could share your experience during quarantine with us too!
How many times in the last five years (hell the last decade) have you said "I don't have time for that" or "I wish I had time to do.."? I am thinking that if we had $1 for every time we said it (or thought it) we would be quite wealthy right now.
Guess what? We now have time. And it is a great way to make this quarantine meaningful.
In my podcast today my good friend Kim, creator of Project Mindful Movement, joins me and we discuss how this quarantine has opened up so many opportunities- if we look and are open to them.

We’re all familiar with the IVs you get in the hospital that has been used for decades. But did you know that IV therapy offers many benefits outside the hospital? Today, you can get them in a boutique type of setting. You can even get them through a house call. People who get IV therapy say it makes them feel so much better. Typical uses are:
There are also drawbacks of IV therapy. Tune in to find out more and check out the full details at https://mindbodycomplete.com/is-iv-therapy-for-you/
Hey guys! I am over the moon excited to share this talk with you that I had with my dear friend Sue. Long ago, Sue and I shared kick-butt workout sessions at 5 AM in my garage before I moved to California. I miss her so much and am so happy to share her knowledge with you today.
Sue is a nurse practitioner who has been treating women for over 20 years. She’s worked in family practice, the ER/ICU, oncology, cardiopulmonary, and OB/GYN. I think one of the things that really sets her apart from other health care providers is that she really listens to patients and pieces together a total wellness picture based on lifestyle along with science.
I thought it would be interesting to find out what are the top three concerns that women bring to her from a physician’s point of view. Then I’d like to share the top three I’ve observed as a mental health professional.
