    Girls Night #262: How to get the MOST out of Travel Credit Cards (all Without Wrecking Your Credit!) — with Abby Hatteberg
    Jul 29 2024
    Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! ​ I’m so excited about today’s episode. As you guys know (as I hope you know!) my family and I just moved to Spain! I’m sitting in our Airbnb in Granada right now as I record this, so I definitely have travel on the brain. That’s why today we’re talking about travel points — specifically how to maximize your travel credit card points so you never have to pay for a plane ticket again! ​ Our guest for today’s episode is my new friend, Abby Hatteberg. Abby is the owner of Wayfaren, Dallas mom of 3, who’s attempting to travel the world with her favorite people. She teaches others how to maximize their credit card points and miles to take multiple bucket list trips a year...for nearly free! Abby and her family have traveled to places like Italy, Hawaii, Switzerland, Disneyland, Cabo San Lucas, Norway, and SO many more for a true FRACTION of the actual cost...and she wants to teach YOU to do the same! ​ In the episode, she’ll be sharing how travel points work, what’s the best card to get started with, how to use your credit cards responsibly (and not wrack up tons of debt or ruin your credit), and so much more! ​ If travel is something you’ve always wanted to do, but it just feels way too expensive, make sure you tune in, because Abby is giving us all of the steps we need to take to make this a reality! ​ Last note here: I have travel credit cards and the points we’ve earned from them have made a massive difference in our ability to travel over the last 10 years or so. BUT, in this episode, I learned SO MUCH that I didn’t know AT ALL. I cannot wait to put into practice the things Abby taught me and I’m so happy you get to hear from her too!

  • Girls Night #261: How the Enneagram can Help you Understand the People in Your Life (Including Your Kids!) — with Beth McCord

    Girls Night #261: How the Enneagram can Help you Understand the People in Your Life (Including Your Kids!) — with Beth McCord
    Jul 22 2024
    Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! I’m so excited about today’s episode. Today we’re talking about how to better understand yourself and your kids using the Enneagram. Since the Enneagram has gained popularity in the past few years, I’m guessing most of you are at least somewhat familiar, but, if you need a refresher, The Enneagram Test is basically a personality assessment to help us know ourselves better and to help us overcome some of the roadblocks in our lives and become the best versions of ourselves. I personally love using the Enneagram because it has helped me understand my heart and my mind and my personality SO MUCH BETTER. But, something I haven’t spent as much time on is learning how I can use Enneagram as a tool to better understand my kids and learn how they feel and process things. And that’s why I cannot wait to share today’s conversation! Our guest for today’s episode is my friend, Beth McCord. Beth is an accomplished Enneagram speaker, author, coach, and teacher with over two decades of dedicated experience. Her passion lies in helping individuals rewrite their life stories, empowering them to realize that lasting change and meaningful relationships are possible. Beth's mission led to the creation of the Your Enneagram Coach community—a nurturing space where individuals safely explore the Enneagram. Her most recent book is called, The Enneagram for Moms: See the True Colors of Yourself and Your Children as God Intends, and I cannot wait for you to hear more about it! I absolutely loved this conversation and I know you’re going to love it too! Here’s my conversation with Beth. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Girls Night #260: How She Does It: Hearing God’s Voice and Following His Lead with Christy Wright

    Girls Night #260: How She Does It: Hearing God’s Voice and Following His Lead with Christy Wright
    Jul 15 2024
    Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! Today we’re continuing our brand new series on the Girls Night Podcast called, “How She Does It.” About once a month we do a profile of a woman who’s living a beautifully, unique life and we'll get to hear the behind-the-scenes of how she does it. We’ll also talk about what things she does or, maybe more importantly, doesn’t do to make it all happen! The idea for this series came to me while I was writing my new book, Create A Life You Love, and so I want to read you the passage that inspired it. Over the years, I’ve spent more and more time looking for women who are breaking the mold—creating lives that look like them and feel like them and work for them. And the more I see, the more I notice, the more empowered I feel to create my own life in a way that’s a little different, a little outside the lines, but that looks like me, feels like me, and works for me and my family. — Create a life you love That's my hope for these episodes. I’m so excited about today’s episode because we’re talking to my dear friend, Christy Wright. Christy is an author, podcaster, certified business coach, dynamic speaker and personal development expert. I’ve been a huge fan of Christy for years — she’s truly one of the most inspiring women I know! The plan for the episode was to go through all of my usual questions that I ask for this series. Questions like “What “supposed to’s” have you wrestled with in your Everything Era?” and “How did you do things differently?” We made it through the first two or three and then totally changed gears… but in the best way possible! This conversation is one I wasn’t expecting, but totally needed, and I think you’ll feel the same way. We talk about listening to God’s voice, interpreting signs, following God’s lead (even when it feels scary), and so much more! Christy has so much faith and wisdom — you’re going to love her! Okay, let’s dive into the conversation! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Girls Night #259: Adventure awaits: How to make your travel dreams a reality — with Whitney Haldeman
    Jul 8 2024
    Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! I’m so excited about today’s episode. Today we’re talking about How to make your travel dreams a reality. I’m excited about this episode because if you’re anything like me, you want to travel and explore new places, but there’s a few things that tend to hold you back. First, traveling is expensive. You really want to make travel a priority, but between plane tickets, lodging costs, and other travel expenses, it gets to be a lot. Two, you don’t know who to travel with. Maybe you’re single and not sure if you want to travel solo or you're married but it seems like none of your friends are able to travel. If you’ve ever felt this way, you’re not alone, but today’s guest is going to help us! Our guest for today’s episode is my new friend, Whitney Haldeman. Whitney is a Luxury Travel Advisor and Founder of Blonde Atlas, a luxury boutique travel company that provides planning services for individual clients, as well as group tours for women called Atlas Adventures. She is passionate about connecting like-minded women who have a shared love for travel. In this episode, she’s helping us figure out how to incorporate travel into our lives no matter our budget or whether or not we have someone to go with. One of my favorite tips she shares is splitting time between budget friendly lodging and luxury lodging — more about that in the episode! If you have the itch to explore and want to make your travel dreams a reality, this episode is for you! Okay, let’s hop into my conversation with Whitney! Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Girls Night #258: STOP Trying To Do It All: A Guide For Women Who Have The World On their Shoulders

    Girls Night #258: STOP Trying To Do It All: A Guide For Women Who Have The World On their Shoulders
    Jul 1 2024
    Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! I’m so excited about today’s episode. When writing my book, Create a Life You Love, I did a ton of research on what life has been like for women throughout history. One of the biggest themes I’ve found is that throughout history, women have had next to no authority over their lives. And while that’s been getting better — we have more options today than any generation of women in history, we also are carrying more than any generation of women in history, because the more we’re able to “do it all” the more we’re being expected to actually, “DO IT ALL.” That’s why I cannot wait for you to hear from today’s guest! Our guest for today’s episode is my new friend, Paula Faris. Paula is a journalist, author and Founder of CARRY Media, which advocates for working moms. Paula’s mission is to make sure being a working mom works! One of my favorite parts of the episode is when she talks about the “mom default” and why so much of the load seems to be left in the hands of women — and what we can do to change that! Paula is funny, and brilliant, and an advocate for real change — you are going to love this conversation! Let’s hop into the episode! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Girls Night #257: Q&A with Steph and Carl: We’re Talking Marriage, Dating and SPAIN!
    Jun 24 2024
    Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! A few weeks ago, my husband Carl and I hosted a virtual live girls night of sorts with the incredible crew of women who helped me launch my new book, Create A Life You Love. Nothing was off the table — we had them send in any and all questions they had for us, and we answered as many of them as we could. We made sure to record that Q&A session, and I’m so glad, because now we get to share it with you. In this episode, we’re talking about marriage, dating, pursuing your dreams, and we’ll be answering a few questions about moving to Spain — what that looks like and what we’re most excited about! This was such a fun conversation to have, especially with mine and Carl’s 10 year wedding anniversary coming up in early July! So, without further ado, let’s dive into my conversation with my husband, Carl Wilson! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Girls Night #256: How to Become an Informed Voter Before the Next Election — with Sharon McMahon

    Girls Night #256: How to Become an Informed Voter Before the Next Election — with Sharon McMahon
    Jun 17 2024
    Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! I’m so excited about today’s episode. Today we’re talking about how to become an informed voter and avoid misinformation on the internet. I’m excited about this episode because if you’re anything like me, you feel the weight of the political tension happening in our world right now – especially as we’re inching closer to election time! Your social media feeds are filled with everyone and their mom’s opinions on leaders and policies and, before you know it, you’re feeling angry, frustrated, and confused. And, on top of all of that, you’re wondering if your vote will actually make a difference or if it will just get lost in a giant pool of people. Friends, if you’re feeling this way, you’re not alone and I cannot wait to introduce you to today’s guest! Our guest for today’s episode is my new friend and go-to politics guru, Sharon McMahon. Sharon is on a mission to curate facts, fun, and inspiration by educating Americans on democracy, politics, and history. After years of serving as a high school government and law teacher, Sharon took her passion for education to social media to combat political misinformation with non-partisan facts. In this episode she’s helping us figure out which news sources are helpful and which ones might be unhelpful, why our votes matter, how to manage our mental health during elections, and how to set boundaries with family members around political conversations (and avoid arguments). Friends, I love this episode because it’s a (actually fun) conversation about politics (for the girl who hates politics! 🤣). No matter what political party you align with, this episode will help you find out what’s most important to you so that you can make an informed decision this November.

  • Girls Night #255: Boobs 101: A Woman's Guide to Breast Health — with Dr. Gillian Goddard

    Girls Night #255: Boobs 101: A Woman's Guide to Breast Health — with Dr. Gillian Goddard
    Jun 10 2024
    Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! I am so excited for what we have going on this week. Put on your coziest sweatpants and listen in, because today we’re talking all about boobs! I’m excited about this episode, because, if you're anything like me, you haven’t spent a ton of time learning about your breast health. Sure, you know the basics and they’re a part of who you are, but you also have some questions that maybe you’ve been too embarrassed or uncomfortable to ask. Questions like “Is it normal to experience pain in xyz scenario?”, “Should I be doing a self breast exam and how often,?” or “How do I control my boob sweat?”. Also — as we go through life, are there things we’re supposed to know about our boobs? Ways we’re supposed to take care of them? I wasn’t aware of any for so long, and I always worried that I was missing something. If you can relate to any of those things, I’m so glad you get to hear this conversation! Our guest for today’s show is Dr. Gillian Goddard. Gillian is an endocrinologist in private practice in New York City and Adjunct Assistant Professor at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. I first discovered her work after reading an article she collaborated on with Emily Oster from Parent Data called An Owner's Manual for Breasts. The research was so helpful and informative, so I knew we needed to have her on! This episode is especially close to my heart right now, because I had a bit of a health scare last week. I had my second ever mammogram, and thought it would be a simple check-up. But it turns out, they needed to go in to take another look, and then I actually ended up having to get a biopsy! Thankfully, I’m totally fine. The spot was benign. But that experience has me more resolved than ever to talk about things on the show that are just not talked about enough. Our bodies are incredible — and they’re also kinda complicated sometimes — but thankfully, we don’t have to figure ANY of this out alone. Let’s dive into the episode!
