This conversation takes us on a journey of Cait's trip to Greece as a family of 4!

We discuss: - Preparing for the 4-week trip, flying & traveling with little ones (spilling all the tips!) -Greek culture vs. American culture (night & day - literally!) -Visiting the "real Greece" vs. the one you see in the magazines (painting the who...

Today's episode is the 1st SOLO with just one of the Vatas! I, (Cait!) take us through 10 things I am doing in preparation in the transition from Winter to Spring. Does anyone else feel like a different person when the sun is shining? Yep, us too. I feel like I am coming out of my winter hibernation mode and busting out of this cocoon and feeling that primal urge to remove the debris and start to make space for new buds to bloom. I went from winter "slow-mo" to "let me make a list and t...

One of our FAVORITE conversation starters to each other is: "what cycle day are you on!?". This then leads down the rabbit hole of how we are feeling mentally, physically, emotionally during the different parts of our menstrual cycles. We follow up even more exchanging recent books, insta posts, experiences, etc. that we are always learning from on this topic. This conversation today is just skimming the surface as we unwrap all the *layers* that come with being a woman and havi...

The juggle is REAL. If you are a mama, no matter what phase of motherhood you are in, you can probably relate to that feeling of juggling it all especially those “invisible” things only you can see. Once you become a mother, so many shifts inside of you, one being how your mind works. Being able to juggle is a superpower! However, sometimes it can get heavy, the balls drop, there’s too many mental tabs in our minds open and we start to feel overwhelmed with this MOTHERLOAD we carry.&nbs...

It's time to Romanticize Your Life Romanticizing what?! Yes, we are here to talk about romanticizing YOUR life aka finding magic in the mundane. It’s easy to operate in autopilot and simply go through the same playbook day in and day out with your head down. And just like that, you are missing out on the magic of what’s right in front of you. We get it - we do it too!! Hey, here's an opportunity, a reminder, to find you way back into those little magical moments or perha...

In this episode, we discuss the "f" word. By "f" word, we mean F E A R. So, yes, the other "f" word that possibly first came to mind absolutely can come up when in the face of fear. But, is fear always a bad thing? Before we bash fear upside the head, let's at least evaluate what it does from the biological stand point - it is there to keep us safe and alive. How important, right?! It allows us to navigate where there is danger and risk and how to take action. HOWEVER, our fear i...
