How Do You Know What’s Next?: Episode 503

From big career pivots to giant life decisions, how do we know when it’s time to take a leap? How much dreaming and scheming comes before the moment of action? And how do you know what’s on the other side of a bend in the road? (Spoiler: you don’t.) Meagan and Sarah share a podcast-related update and explore these questions together.

Listener Questions (Vol. 46): Episode 479

Brandi asks how we’re accomplishing (and modeling) exercise and healthy eating habits for ourselves and our kids. Lindsay is struggling with toys EVERYWHERE but wants to encourage creative play. Naomi is a podcast host and asks us about our process for brainstorming and creating outlines to become more efficient. Plus, we tackle a common dilemma: how to make sure younger siblings feel included and entertained during big-kid activities. In Episode 479, Meagan and Sarah take these questions from our community and offer tips and validation.

BONUS: Would You Rather? [CLASSIC REPLAY]

We’re revisiting a classic from the archives today: a ridiculous game of Would You Rather…? Meagan and Sarah recorded this one in person together on a hot summer day back in 2018 (almost six years ago!), and in it we challenge each other to pick between wildly impossible scenarios. Which one of us would rather deal with an insane diaper blowout while in public and which would rather have an end-of-the-world public tantrum? You’ll have to listen to find out!

Living A Writerly Life: Episode 454

Join Meagan and Sarah for a peek behind the scenes of our writerly lives and an update on what we’re working on lately. We share how we got started (including our tips for others wanting to explore writing), how our writing has looked quite different over the years (including where and how we write) and what we’re currently working on. We also bring listeners up to speed on an exciting new collaboration that we’ve only hinted at in the past…
