This week we’re talking about the many adjustments taking place in Erin’s house as she returns to work full time. There are meal fiascos, white-out conditions on the NY Thruway and seriously, how do other working moms find the time to get it all done?!?

We also talk about the joys of being a Daisy troop leader, the recent Facebook changes (again!) and what Kristin’s husband is finding of interest on Pinterest.

Podcast: Mel Robbins Escapes

Erin — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 23:45:31 +0000

This week the show’s extra long as we bring you Mel Robbins’ keynote from the Escape.

The author of Stop Saying You’re Fine, Discover a More Powerful You, Mel has researched and identified all the ways we keep ourselves from getting what we really want in life. From pushing the snooze button every morning, to trying to control how the dishes are loaded into the dishwasher, we can sometimes be our own worst enemies! Mel is funny, real and encourages each and every one of us to identify what we want, say it out loud, and go for it! We hope you get as much from this podcast as we all got from seeing her live.
