Michelle hit a breaking point trying to balance full-time work, motherhood, and caring for their mom with dementia. That moment gave birth to a new life philosophy: slow down, care less, do nothing.

  • Great Podcast

    As a man, I find this podcast to be very informative. My wife and I are hustling kids to school, sports, and other activities, that we don’t get to sit down and talk much. Listening to Lauren and Michelle provides perspective for me. Plus, I enjoy their sense of humor as well. I will continue to listen.

    It’s refreshing to hear woman navigating life in a real way. Social media makes everything seem perfect, but life is hard. I appreciate their honesty and compassion they show for one another.
