In my world it seems like everyone knows the kitchen is the hub of the home. Where everyone seems to gather, where we provide nourishment through food, company and more, where homework is done, the hard conversations are had, family games happen - it's just where the magic is. In this conversation with Lexie Grech we look at the significance of the kitchen for creativity, playfulness, stomach and soul nourishment, legacy making and creating safety.

Lexie's cooking and therapy coaching business is about helping people discover all the pieces of magic that are in the kitchen and you can find her here:

Patrice Porter, the Gardening Grandma, shared so much of her gardening wisdom with me in this wonderfully inspiring episode. We chatted about all the different gardens she has, how she designed many types of gardens for the children in her life including a Halloween Garden and a Fairy Garden. For Patrice the garden is an essential extension of the home and she set out to inspire me to become a gardener, and I think she succeeded in her mission! Patrice has is working on getting more people in the garden and has designed many resources to help get started, including a homeschool gardening curriculum.

Wife, mama, former teacher and host of the Having a Mom Moment Podcast Shannon Warner and I went into what it is like to build a home in motherhood. We explored what it can look and feel like to solve one puzzle (keeping young children alive) only to discover a new problem (homeschooling, going back to work, a new job) and how to stay focused on self, spouse and spawn as she puts it.

Shannon shares her heart about what home means to her and her journey to discover what she needed as a mother and wife and person.

Wendy Harrop is one of those souls who, when you meet her, you just want to know her, you want to experience some of the magic she has. And she is available to pour into everyone and has a wonderful open sincerity about here that permeated this conversation.

I am so grateful she joined me for this powerful conversation that gave me chills more than once. Wendy shares with us her long standing life desires of becoming a mother and moving to New England. Neither of these blessings came easy or quick and the patience and resiliency she displayed along the way (while she spent 24 mother's days between deciding she waned to be a mother before she became one) is inspiring, as is the mantra she developed - she is only available for what delights her.
