  • Tuning Into Your Inner Soundtracks With Britt Matthews

    Tuning Into Your Inner Soundtracks With Britt Matthews
    Apr 13 2026
    What if the messages playing in your head were actually holding you back from the life you were meant to live?Today I am joined in the studio by my effervescent and darling daughter, Britt, for a conversation that is as deep as it is spicy. Today we’re talking about soundtracks, which are the internal voices and repetitive thoughts that shape our reality. Inspired by the work of Jon Acuff, we explore how to identify the broken records of overthinking and replace them with messages that are much more aligned with our values and are more positive. We get vulnerable about our own current soundtracks. Britt shares her journey of moving away from hustling for self worth and embracing the mantra that she deserves a love she does not have to chase. Meanwhile, I open up about my people pleasing recovery and the realization that while I can do many things, my energy is expensive and I should focus on the things I am truly great at.If you are struggling with a stuck thought or just need a little spark to get your fire going we’re here to remind you that you have the power to turn down the volume on negativity and curate a sound track that serves you.Episode Highlights[00:01] Studio chaos: Who let the dogs out and why we do not need an agenda.[00:02] The poetry of joy: Discussing Joyce Sullivan and why joy is not a trick.[00:04] Jon Acuff and Soundtracks: Why we love his edgy and accessible take on mindset.[00:05] Fearlessly and wonderfully made: The soundtrack that started before Britt was born.[00:07] Some is better than none: Breaking the lie that there is not enough time.[00:08] Good is good enough: Utilizing Pareto’s Principle in business and life.[00:10] Sponsor Break: Love for Buffalo Rock Pepsi and Holiday Beach Mechanical.[00:11] Nana's legacy: Fashion, ear bobs, and the gift of being a biggest fan.[00:15] Staying in your lane: Why you should not try to be great at everything.[00:16] Energy is expensive: Taking a cue from Taylor Swift on protecting your peace.[00:20] Turning down the dial: Replacing negative tapes with coping actions like exercise and lists.[00:26] The People Pleasing Trap: Why Karen signed up for Orange Theory.[00:32] Relationships and Affirmations: Writing what you need to hear in the moment.[00:35] The Burger King Blessing: How a little spark of energy can change someone's day.[00:38] Curiosity over Fear: Britt’s parting wisdom on the inner artist and being a maker.Special Thanks to Our SponsorsBuffalo Rock Pepsi :www.buffalrock.comHoliday Beach Mechanical:https://holidaybeachmechanical.comHue Salon and Boutique: https://www.huesalonandboutique.comAmor Boutique: https://amorboutiquepc.comBay Tax Solution: https://bay.taxElysian Med Spa: https://elysianmedspa.comFerrucci Ristorante: https://ferruccipc.comAbout BrittBritt is the friend with the messy car, a growing hat collection, and a deep belief that it is never too late to become who you are supposed to be.

Her words are for anyone who is tired of pretending they have it all together.

  • How Angela Klopf Creates Real Community Impact

    How Angela Klopf Creates Real Community Impact
    Apr 6 2026
    What if the secret to a truly happy life… is giving something away? 💛Y’all… this conversation made my heart so happy I could barely stand it. I got to sit down with the absolutely beautiful, warm, and generous Angela from Habitat for Humanity, and let me tell you… this is what it looks like when someone is living a life of purpose.We talk about what Habitat really does…Of course, they build homes, but let’s not forget they also build hope, instill belonging, and plant the seeds of community. When Angela shares her story of growing up in foster care and how that shaped her heart for service… whew. It just reminds you that God can take every hard thing and turn it into something beautiful. If you’re out there searching for community this is a reminder that YOU can be a part of something bigger! Whether that’s swinging a hammer, donating to the ReStore, or simply showing up when your community needs you. I’m telling you… if you're still trying to figure out how to have a happy life, this is a prime example. You give. You love. You show up. And it comes right back to you tenfold.

  • What's Stuck In Your Craw?

    What's Stuck In Your Craw?
    Mar 30 2026
    Today I’m asking a question that hit me right in the heart…what is stuck in your craw?I’m sharing where I’ve ignored the little irritations in my life until they turned into something bigger… and where I’ve finally made changes before things reached a breaking point. I also talk about something powerful I heard: most people don’t change out of desire…they change because of disasters. And that made me stop and ask myself… what can I change today before it gets to that point? This message is your gentle nudge to pause, reflect, and choose growth on purpose…not by force.

    Episode Highlights
    [01:30] What “stuck in your craw” really means
    [03:00] Why we ignore what bothers us
    [04:00] My health wake-up call and losing 50 pounds

    [15:30] Why I’m choosing growth at 67
    [16:30] One small step you can take today
