    275: Fostering Connection, Independence and Confidence in Our Kids with Nicole Runyon

    This week on Minimalish, I’m back with my first guest interview in a while – and I couldn’t think of a better way to start the summer! After wrapping up my long-term sub position at the high school, I’m so excited to get back to conversations that help us live a little more intentionally.

    Today, I’m chatting with Nicole Runyon, a former psychotherapist turned parent coach, all about how we can set our families up for a simpler, more connected summer. This conversation is full of helpful, down-to-earth advice to help you feel more confident and grounded heading into summer with your kids at home.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    • Why independence and responsibility is so important (and how to encourage it)
    • How to navigate technology and set boundaries for different ages
    • Why boredom is actually good for kids—and how to help them through it

    Whether you’re craving more rhythm, rest, or just want to avoid constant power struggles this summer, this episode is for you.

    267: Monthly Experiment #2: Moving Past a Failed Experiment + January Experiment Update and a PCOS Chat

    Today I’m bringing you the next Monthly Experiment where I’m reflecting on this past month’s journey to tackle our families budget. Spoiler alert: it did not go as planned. But I’m sharing a lot about how I’ve been reframing my mindset around “failed goals” in this season and reflecting on why it didn’t go well and how we’re moving forward.


    I’m also giving a little update on my first monthly experiment and how it’s evolved over the last few months, including an update on my recent diagnosis with PCOS.

    265: Monthly Experiment #1: Healthier Habits

    In this solo episode, I’m reflecting on my first monthly experiment in intentional living—focusing on healthier habits. At the start of the year, I was inspired by my conversation with Tyler Moore of Tidy Dad to approach New Year’s goals differently, leading me to start this Monthly Experiments series. Instead of setting rigid resolutions, I’ve been choosing one area of life to focus on each month. For January, that meant tracking simple habits like movement, hydration, and paying attention to what I’m consuming.


    I’ll share what worked, what didn’t, and how this experiment has shaped my mindset around actually sticking to my wellness goals. Come along while I chat about progress over perfection, finding joy in small wins, and embracing this healthier living as a form of self-care rather than pressure.
