• 147: Discovering You with Emilie Kadlec
    Aug 20 2025

    This week, Lee Ann and Matt sit down with licensed clinical counselor Emilie Kadlec to talk about finding yourself in the noise of life. Emilie specializes in walking people through life's biggest transitions—from job changes and grief to simple season shifts— in this episode, she offers guidance for navigating finding your way back to yourself.

    We get into:

    • How to tune into that still, small voice inside you when everything else is loud.
    • The journey of rediscovering your desires and preferences.
    • The steps you can take to start knowing who you really are again.

    It's an honest and encouraging conversation about looking inward and reconnecting with your most authentic self.

  • 146: Settle In
    Aug 13 2025

    At times in life we can settle in, but it often comes at sacrifice of hope: hope that things could get better or things could be different. So, what does it mean for us to settle for less, and how do we find true contentment? It's more than what's on the outside - it's a mindset shift. How do we remain content in where we are while also hoping for what could be? Join us in this conversation all about settling and contentment.
