Come follow me on Instagram!

I'm very active on this social platform, so if you want to see how I actually live day-to-day and connect with me, this is the place!

My sweetest friend, my partner, my Valentine. I love you, @brian.casazza ❤️ (photo by @kendallhainesphoto) I'm so excited to be a part of @Blissdom this year teaching how to use your podcast to build your brand! Blissdom is @AlliWorthington's business conference in Nashville Nov 14-16 with mastermind workshop tracks on Business + Entrepreneurship, Podcasting, Writing + Speaking, and Photography + Video. I want to help you be there too, so I'm giving away a ticket for you and a friend! Here's how to enter: 1. Follow @Blissdom 2. Tag a friend here who you want to go to @Blissdom with 3. Tell me why you want to be there I will announce the winner here on Saturday and I'll see you in November in Nashville! Emmett has been in a clingy stage randomly (he’s four) and none of my other kids went through this at his age that I can remember! But it means more kisses and hand holding and snuggles so I’m trying to enjoy it and only be annoyed by it every once in awhile 😂 I find that every stage he goes through I kind of love (even the frustrating ones) because he’s the littlest and last. Motherhood. ❤️ This morning is church via Facebook Live, taking care of my office (dusting, rearranging & organizing), extra coffee and a grateful heart. Happy Sunday! ❤️ #sundayfunday Minimalism should be about less for the sake of more of what matters, not less for the sake of less.⠀ 🏠⠀ It should serve you and your family, who YOU are as people. It shouldn’t feel defeating or limiting or like you’re handcuffed to a title.⠀ 🙌🏻⠀ Just remember to let go of whatever you think “the rules” are and get rid of the things that aren’t worth time away from what your priorities are.⠀ 👍🏻⠀ Because the fact is, what takes up your space takes up your time. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #minimalism #simplelife #simplify PERSONALITY TYPES + MARRIAGE = DEEP UNDERSTANDING AT LAST!!⠀ 👫⠀ I’ve never been a personality type/test person. I used to forget what my Meyers Briggs type was all the time.⠀ 😂⠀ But when Brian & I started really working on our relationship a few years ago, diving deep into reoccurring conflicts and talking things out, it became real clear real fast how different we are, and that we were at a loss for understanding each other in certain situations.⠀ 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀ I came across the Enneagram and connected deeply with the type 8. I’m a reader and a deep diver, so I went all in. I was pretty sure my hubs was a type 2. We read a lot and took some tests and, yup!⠀ 👥⠀ I’m emotional even typing this... there are no words I can think of to describe the impact the Enneagram and the deep understanding it brings has had on our marriage. It’s big.⠀ 🙌🏻⠀ Today on The Purpose Show, Brian and I are sharing a sit down we had with Enneagram coach and expert, @yourenneagramcoach, Beth.⠀ 😍⠀ Beth basically gave us a live marriage coaching session based on the Enneagram, and we are sharing it with you all today, including the raw honesty and vulnerable parts of our current relationship we needed help with.⠀ 😬⠀ GO LISTEN, GIRL. Seriously. So good! Click the link in my profile and navigate to The Purpose Show page to find the latest episode. Be sure to comment and tell me what you think!
