In this week’s catch-up, Lina opens up about how hard it can be to feel grateful during a difficult season of parenthood.

Meanwhile, Valentina talks about her first two months of homeschooling her daughter: what she’s learned, what’s surprised her, and why it’s been such a fulfilling change for her family’s rhythm as a small business owner and a musician’s wife.

It’s an honest, reflective, and comforting conversation about finding peace in imperfect seasons, redefining success, and doing what works for your family.

In this episode, we sit down with Valentina's husband, musician and creative Ben Weinman to unpack how social media has evolved from the early days of MySpace and message boards to today’s hyper-curated feeds and algorithm-driven culture.

We reflect on what it means to “have a following” in 2025, the strange overlap between performance and authenticity online, and how the internet has reshaped our sense of community, creativity, and self-worth.

It’s a raw, honest conversation about chasing connection in a world that profits off our attention and what it looks like to reclaim a little bit of our humanity in the process.

This week, we sat down with Ally Norton, owner of The Corner in Flemington, to talk about her powerful journey of reinvention.

Ally opened up about taking a leap of faith and walking away from her corporate career when the stress began to take a serious toll on her mental and physical health. Along the way, she discovered she has ADHD, underwent weight loss surgery, and has since lost over 100 pounds—transforming not only her body but her outlook on life.

We dive into what it takes to trust yourself, prioritize well-being over expectations, and rebuild a life that actually feels good to live.

🎙️ Tune in for an honest, inspiring conversation about resilience, self-discovery, and the courage to start new.
