We're back! After dusting off our microphones ~ cobwebs and all ~ we've returned from our very long hiatus with a renewed sense of purpose and clarity about who we are and what we're meant to do.

This break wasn't just about rest; it was a necessary reset that allowed us to step away from the algorithm-chasing hamster wheel and reconnect with our authentic voices. The social media pressure had turned our passion project into a draining full-time job on top of our already full-time roles as moms. During our time away, our friendship deepened through uncomfortable but necessary conversations, and we gained powerful insights about ourselves and this journey we're meant to be on.

So here we are, ready to embrace our true purpose: creating space for paradigm-shifting conversations that challenge black-and-white thinking. We are here to question reality and help others see beyond illusions by sharing multiple viewpoints and showing there is more than one way of seeing things. Together, we're inviting you into the gray areas where growth happens, even when ~ especially when ~ it feels uncomfortable.

Season 4 brings exciting changes! We're shifting our focus from traditional social media (which we've found increasingly toxic) to Patreon. A platform where we can connect more authentically with people who genuinely resonate with our message and we can create community for deeper discussions in a safe space.

Our foundational ethos remains: be open and stay curious. We're not afraid to tackle challenging topics or invite perspectives we don't fully agree with. The invitation is to approach differences with an open mind and heart, remembering that disagreement doesn't make someone wrong or right, good or bad ~ it simply reflects our unique life experiences.

Ready for authentic conversations that might make you a little uncomfy but leave you with expanded perspective? Then join us over on Patreon and let the games begin!

Have you ever felt trapped in the cycle of constantly doing instead of simply being? We return from our hiatus to share the transformative journey of embracing presence over productivity. Navigating personal growth and the healing power of plant medicine, we open up about the challenges and triumphs of stepping back from social media, finding solace in solitude, and the empowerment that comes with embracing uncertainty. Join us as we unravel the intricacies of learning to "be" rather than "do," and the gratitude we hold for our community through this enlightening journey.

Creativity and play take center stage as we explore the profound impact of letting go of perfection and diving headfirst into the messiness of life. Reflecting on the human design concept of the "3/5" personality, we share personal stories of transitioning from risky youthful experimentation to a more meaningful exploration of interests. This chapter is an ode to self-discovery, the healing journey through creativity, and the freedom of self-expression, encouraging both ourselves and our children to embrace the healing power of play and creativity without fear of getting a little messy along the way.

Social media burnout is real, and we candidly discuss the pressure of maintaining an online presence that often feels inauthentic. The balance between personal growth and social media's demands becomes a focal point, as we consider taking breaks to prioritize family and self-care. We celebrate the enduring friendships that support us, the joy of simple pleasures, and the realization that sometimes, healing means stepping back and enjoying the peace we’ve worked so hard to achieve. Join us as we reflect on three years of growth, friendship, and the shared journey of navigating life’s complexities, with a promise of more adventures to come.
