Friend, how many times have you said "one day I'm going to..." and then one day just never came?

This week a TikTok stopped Jamie mid-scroll. Eddie Murphy popped out from behind a wall, pointed right at her, and reminded her that we only get about 75 years if we're lucky. That's 75 winters, 75 springs, 75 summers, and 75 falls. So we brought it straight to the mic, and it turned into one of our most real conversations yet.

In this episode, we're talking about how to stop letting fear, distraction, and the endless scroll steal the time you actually have. Monique shares how putting her phone away at her son's soccer practice led to a real connection and a new friend (and a new face in her dance fitness class). We talk about giving yourself permission to matter as much as the people you pour into every day, why finding the magic in the mundane might be the most important thing you ever do, and how to define what a successful life looks like for you, not for anyone else.

And then things got real. Jamie has been saying "I'm going to write a book" for years, and the cursor is still blinking at her. So she came up with the Rooted 75: 75 minutes a day, every day, for 75 days, spent on what actually matters to you. Monique immediately alley-ooped it and gave Jamie her assignment: those 75 minutes go to writing. No sneaking workouts in.

Now we're inviting you in. Pick your thing, whatever matters most to you, and give it 75 minutes a day, starting now. Drop it in the comments so we can cheer you on.

You'll walk away with:

• A perspective reset on how you're spending your days
• Simple ways to protect your time (hello, red time and do not disturb)
• Permission to put yourself back on your own priority list
• The Rooted 75 Challenge and a reason to start today

"You can lose years trying to fix what was never yours to fix."

This week Jamie and Mo get into a post that hit way harder than expected — the shares, the messages, the "wait, this is literally me" reactions. They talk about being the fixer, the includer, the one who loves big — and what happens when you pour years into someone or something that was never yours to fix in the first place.

"Sometimes letting go isn't giving up. Sometimes it's finally putting down what was never yours to hold."

Real talk on friendships that ended out of nowhere, giving your time and energy to people who don't give it back, and learning the difference between caring about someone and carrying them.

"You can care without having to carry it all."

Stay rooted, sis.

In this episode, we're talking about what it means to stay present in your actual life — not the one you're chasing or the one you used to have. We get into the difference between a hell yes and a hell maybe, what it looks like to miss an old season without trying to rebuild it, and a simple practice — writing tomorrow out before it happens — that's changed how intentional our days feel. If you're ready to stop waiting for the big moments and start noticing the ones you're already in, this one's for you.

So I did a thing yesterday — I found an old video of myself from May, stood in almost the exact same pose I was in for a video I filmed this past weekend, and put them side by side. Two months apart. And when I tell you I was blown away... it wasn't even the physical change that got me. It was my face. I was carrying so much weight that had nothing to do with a scale.

I wrote something in the caption that really hit Mo: it's amazing what can happen in your life in just two months when you take the frustrations off your table and just reset your damn yes.

That post sparked a whole conversation, and we ended up recording it because we think a lot of you need to hear it. We're talking about what it actually looks like to let go of something that used to work for you but doesn't anymore — a routine, a role, an idea of who you're supposed to be — and why that guilt you feel about pivoting isn't the truth, it's just noise.

We get into accountability, why you have to give something a real shot before you write it off (the ugly dress on the rack is definitely cuter on), and why putting yourself last isn't selfless — it's selfish.

If you've been standing with your back against a wall you don't actually need to be stuck at, this is your sign to step away from it.

Pull up a chair, grab your coffee, and let's get rooted.

Am I Ungrateful If I Want More?

It's one of the top things women are actually typing into Google — quietly, alone, usually at night. This episode is us pulling it into the light.

We're digging into where that question really comes from: is wanting more coming from a place of lack, or a place of purpose? We talk about the guilt that shows up the second you admit you want something for yourself — and why that guilt isn't always telling you the truth.

We get into the difference between chasing something to distract yourself from hard responsibilities versus chasing something because you're genuinely called to it.

This one lands on a line that's staying with us: contentment doesn't mean you stop dreaming. It means you stop believing your dream is the thing that will finally make you enough.

If you've ever felt small next to someone else's success, or felt guilty for wanting more when your life already looks good on paper — this episode is for you.

Raw, real, unscripted. Stay rooted.

"If you judge a tree in winter, you'd never believe in spring."

This episode is us pulling that apart, line by line. We start with the mistake most people make without realizing it — judging your whole future off of one hard season, and letting that circumstance decide what you think is possible. From there we get into the tree metaphor and actually make it work: bare branches, thick bark, root systems that pass resources between trees underground, and why comparing your winter to someone else's spring is the fastest way to lose your own perspective.

Then it gets more direct. We talk about what happens the moment you stop pushing toward something hard — the bike-uphill problem. We talk about belief as the actual root of whether you try in the first place. And we land on the line that's staying with us both: everyone leaves this earth with unfinished plans. The real question is whether those are plans you fought for, or plans you never showed up to chase.

This one gets into boundaries you haven't set, the "yes" you keep giving out of obligation, and the difference between quitting on yourself and quitting on a path that was never going to work anyway.

Raw, real, unscripted — like every episode. Stay rooted.

Today's about autopilot — how easy it is to just go through the motions without ever asking why anymore. Get up, go to work, come home, do it again. Groundhog Day. If that's you right now, you're not alone, and you're not behind — you're just stuck in a pattern nobody ever gave you permission to pause.

So we get into it. Messy action — taking the step before you've got it all figured out, before the plan is perfect, before you feel ready. We talk about what that actually looks like when your life is already full — how even fifteen minutes with a pen and paper, sketching out the idea you keep pushing off, counts as movement forward. We get into time and priorities, the pockets of your day you didn't realize you had, and why "playing small" isn't always what you think it is.

We talk about the mom-shaming spiral so many of us have felt, or maybe even done without meaning to — and why judging how someone else is doing the best they can has no place in any of this. We talk gratitude, the pivots you didn't ask for that ended up being exactly what you needed, and why you should never leave your better future to memory. Write it down.

And we land the episode on something that hit different: whose expectations have you been wearing that were never yours to carry? Somewhere along the way, most of us picked up opinions, standards, and voices that were never ours to begin with — and we've been walking around with them like they belong to us. This one's about noticing that, and giving yourself permission to take it off.

Autopilot. Messy action. Expectations. Come sit with us for this one — and stay rooted.

Got a backhanded comment from a "friend" the last time you got excited about something? This one's for you.

This week on She's Rooted, Mo and I are talking about dealing with negative people, backhanded comments, and the self-doubt that creeps in right when you're finally taking action on your dream. We get into the real difference between someone protecting you out of love vs. someone tearing you down out of their own insecurity — and exactly how to tell which one you're dealing with.

I share some of my own stories — family members publicly trashing my business, "friends" showing up with someone else's coffee instead of mine — and why the loudest critics are usually the people doing the least with their own lives.

New here? This is Part 3 of our Messy Action series — go back and catch Parts 1 & 2 if you missed them.

If this hits home, send it to a friend who needs to hear it today, and hit follow so you don't miss next week's episode.

Stay rooted, sis.
