The Work & Play Podcast Episodes
180 - You Can Do Fun Things
My most downloaded episode, maybe ever, was Episode 007 called You Can Do Hard Things. Today, I'm gonna introduce her sister to you: You Can Do Fun Things.
I've decided that this year I want to make more of these Work & Play episodes about play, and I'm gonna try to be a little more lighthearted, which can be kind of hard for me. But that's the goal for this year, and that's what today's episode is all about—encouraging you (and me) to incorporate more play in your life and to do fun things.

Hello and Happy New Year! I am so excited to be back to be bringing you some fresh episodes of the work and play podcast moving forward, and to start this year off on the right foot, encouraging you in your work and in your play.
Happy 2022!
118 - Babymoon: Work and Play
Today's episode is going to cover all of the work and play of going on a babymoon. I'm going to summarize each of the babymoons we've taken: how they've all been different and how we've budgeted for each one.
098 - Fighting for Fun
I was talking with a friend the other day and she asked me the question, what are you fighting for this year? And it took me a minute to answer her, but after a pause, I finally said, “You know, I think I'm fighting for fun.” I know that might sound trite or silly, but I'm realizing it's—it's not that silly, it's actually necessary.
082 - Kids, Camping and Slowing Down with Emily Thomas
Today, I brought Emily on to have a conversation about camping, kids, and slowing down. You're going to love Emily. She has a depth and a graciousness that is unmatched, and I love her. It's why she's been my friend for so long. So, I'm so excited to share our conversation today.
071 - 5 Ways to Make the Most of Your Summer

So today it's simply going to be like a quick glance at your compass in the middle of 2020 to make sure that, hey, you're on the right track—you're living the life you want to be living!
063 - Joy-Filled Birthdays
Today I'm going to talk about birthdays in honor of sweet Milly turning five. I'm going to talk about putting some joy back into birthday celebrations and give you a few ideas and lessons that I've learned to make birthdays in your home perfect for your family.
052 - Prioritizing Play
Today, I'm excited to jump into the topic of play, because during this strange season of our lives I realize our work and play is not totally clear cut, there's a lot of mixing. I hope this episode encourages you to truly prioritize your play and the play in your kids' lives.
025 - Work Hard, Sabbath Hard
I believe that work is good and it feels good to know that you've done a job well at the end of your day. But, I also love to rest. We all crave it. We need it regularly. But for some reason this Sabbath rest, this weekly rhythm of just stopping all work has been lost.
