The Dear Mattie Show

This episode is so timely y'all. Megan Heyn opened up about her struggle to stay "beautiful" and how she actually found a voice for herself in challenging the beauty narrative. In fact, that's why she wrote and is funding her short film, The Fix. It's a comedy about the messages women receive to fix themselves to be perfect, and I didn't' realize what a deeper conversation this would invoke on the show. Truly loved having Megan on. Find all info or DONATE to her film! ART IS IMPORTANT! DONATE H

The state of news is well...in a state, sugars! (See how I did that?) But seriously, is it fake, is it real, or is it all crazy?

I've really enjoyed listening to her show too, y'all. Like for real. I would highly recommend subscribing because it really is a true perspective of what's happening in the wor

Life coach, radiant woman, Mom, and badass surfer Emily Pereira is doing what we all want to do--leave our lives and live on the beach! Sounds impossible right? Emily thought so too and I love that in this show she breaks down how you can do it. Now I could leave you Emily Pereira's bio here y'all..but honestly, her story is better heard from you. So many women I know, I have no idea of what they want their life to be and when they get all the "things" they still find themselves horribly unhappy

Adam Cayton-Holland, one of Variety ’s “10 Comics to Watch,” went from a sensitive kid growing up in Denver, Colorado, to a writer and performer with a burgeoning career as a comic. Adam was always interested in comedy – he and his sister, Lydia, spent their childhoods cracking jokes and running bits off one another. Their close relationship continued as Lydia worked at the door and behind the scenes of Adam’s increasingly popular comedy shows. Yet Lydia struggled with depression, and not even t

I truly love this person. Shawn Pelofsky is one of those fearless female comics who refuses to be anyone but herself. A fellow Okie with the heart of your grandma and also the same dirty mouth as my grandma, Shawn is one of those comics who, after you see her set, you feel like she gets you. She's not making jokes at you--she's making jokes with you. I'm so proud of her stand up specials, and sugars PLEASE DOWNLOAD IT and watch. I promise you will laugh--and sugars we all need a great laugh righ

Lisa Foster helps make the dark unknown safe to explore. Her own Hero’s Journey began decades ago when she confronted her father about sexually abusing her. As Lisa began to heal from self-hatred, sexual trauma, and self- protection, she noticed something: The shame-based lens of our culture condemned her to a lifetime in the transformation stage as a “survivor.” But Lisa was determined to pioneer a path beyond survival, to an abundant, free, fully-expressed life without limits. Lisa created Par
