Hi friends, As many of you already know, this is our last official episode of the Around the Table podcast. In this episode, we share more about what’s behind the decision to close the podcast, and open up about our favorite and least favorite moments of the past three years of doing the show. We also share what’s next for each of us. You'll hear that there’s no juicy drama or Big Spiritual Reason behind our decision to end the podcast; we’ve simply made the show we wanted to make for nearly three years, and it’s time to move on. Knowing when to quit is never easy, but we feel peaceful and assured about the timing. Please do continue to follow us on social media or subscribe to our newsletter as one of our favorite things about Around the Table has always been YOU, the wonderful people it allows us to connect with.   We can’t thank you enough for your support -- know that we’re forever grateful for you.   Intention + Indulgence (and hugs), Jacey and Maggie

The “if,” “how,” and “when” of decisions like marriage and babies can be among the most angst ridden (and joyful) of womanhood. So this week, we’re analyzing these life phase changes, and sharing our personal experience making these choices (or not).   What you'll hear: Assumptions culture makes about women, marriage and motherhood Fears we've personally experienced that have contributed to our resistance to marriage and motherhood Some cover ups we've used that sound holy but are actually fear based What indicators point to "readiness" when it comes to marriage and motherhood Quotes: “Motherhood and marriage and relationships are more tied into identity for women than for men.” Jacey “When I look into the future, marriage and motherhood are still ‘what if’s’ rather than ‘when’s’.” Maggie "It’s problematic if you’re putting a lot of your identity into the things that you’re doing and the circumstances of your life.” Jacey “We have to release other peoples’ reactions and experiences from how we feel about ourselves.” Maggie “I’m gonna go buy some Advil for tomorrow’s vulnerability hangover.” Maggie Thoughts, questions, comments?

"Even good decisions have collateral damage." Maggie "When, from the get-go, you know there is going to be no good option, making a quick decision is often better than making a long, drawn-out decision." Maggie "It can be easy to just do what will seemingly solve the problem right now or will be less painful but might not actually be the best."

You’re human, and may we never lose touch with our humanity.” Jacey “In the stark compartmentalization of work and play, we lose the opportunity to find joy in the work and joy in the process of getting things done.” Maggie “There’s not a shortcut for everything. There’s not a life hack for staying in love with someone, or forgiveness or vulnerability.” Jacey Links: This episode is brought to you by Prep Dish, the company that helps you shop once, prep once, and enjoy healthy, stress-free meals all week! Start your free two week trial today.
