Soft moments. Slow days. Here are the voices and stories we’re carrying with us.
There’s something special about this season. When the light hits just right, the house is quiet, and you get a minute to yourself. Whether it's your morning walk, nap-trapped under a newborn, or folding laundry while the sun filters through the window, we believe those little pockets of time deserve something beautiful.
This month, we’re sharing the podcasts, books, and playlists that are getting us through (and making us feel a little more human while we do).
Podcasts We Keep Coming Back To
1. Glennon Doyle – We Can Do Hard Things
For the moments when you need a deep breath, a laugh, or just to feel a little less alone. Honest, raw, and often exactly what you didn’t know you needed.
2. The Lazy Genius Podcast
Because we’re all about doing what matters and skipping the rest. This one feels like chatting with a wise best friend who reminds you that good enough is great.
3. Motherhood Meets Medicine
Real conversations about health, hormones, and how to advocate for your well-being. It’s one we often listen to with a hot cup of something and a mental “yes, exactly.”
4. Good Inside with Dr. Becky
Gentle parenting, nervous system support, and all the "how do I actually do this?" guidance wrapped in compassion. A must for the mental load.
5. 10 Things to Tell You
Short, heartfelt prompts and reflections that feel like journaling with a friend. It’s not just a listen—it’s a soft reset.
Books That Have Us Staying Up Late (In the Best Way)
1. Local Woman Missing by Mary Kubica
Twisty, suspenseful, and nearly impossible to put down. Perfect for when you want a little thrill in your downtime.
2. Untamed by Glennon Doyle
Raw, empowering, and beautifully messy. Like talking with the friend who reminds you who you are and what you’re capable of.
3. The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale
A classic that still hits. Sometimes, the right mindset really does make all the difference.
4. Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell
Dark, emotional, and fast-paced in that way Lisa Jewell always delivers. A solid pick for late-night page turning.
5. Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed
A soul-stirring collection of advice that reads like a warm hug and a tough-love pep talk all in one.
Music That Feels Like a Hug
1. Leon Bridges – Gold-Diggers Sound
Smooth, soulful, and perfect for slow Sunday mornings. Or folding laundry with a glass of wine. Your call.
2. Maggie Rogers – Surrender
There’s a quiet power to this album that makes it ideal for solo drives, emotional resets, or spontaneous dance parties in the kitchen.
3. Taylor Swift – The Acoustic Versions
Because sometimes you need familiar words said softly. Comforting, nostalgic, and never gets old.
4. Wild Rivers – Sidelines
Indie-folk harmonies that hit like a journal entry. Emotional in all the right ways.
5. LÉON – Circles
Dreamy, moody, and lowkey addictive. Like a warm bath for your ears.
Take This With You
We know how full your days are. That’s why these moments matter so much, music that matches your mood, books that remind you who you are, and voices that feel like home.
So wherever this season finds you: on the go, in your feelings, or somewhere in between, we hope this little list brings a bit of warmth and inspiration.
Here’s to finding joy in the small things.
