I am so happy to share with you a conversation with one of my college friends Sarah Nuse.
Now I have kept up with Sarah online for years now, but what is so fascinating about her story is that she ACCIDENTALLY started a business WHILE we were in college - she was just 19 years old - and 20+ years later that little college side hustle is a company with franchises all over the world.
Read MoreIn America, we are in the middle of a major historic moment. We’re 9 months into a global pandemic and 1 week out of a high-stakes Presidential election.
It’s easy to get lost in all the noise, or to believe that our personal accounts don’t matter. After all, we have journalists and essayist and artists of all kind documenting 2020, right? But wouldn't you love to hear from your OWN ancestors at pivotal moments in history? Don’t you wish you could read their journals or letters from that time?
This episode has 10 journal prompts meant for you to document YOUR feelings in this important era. Hopefully, this will something that will give you some clarity, and something to look back on in the future. We’re covering the pandemic and the election with thoughtful, simple questions that will mark this moment in time.

In this episode, I wanted to share 3 mistakes I’ve made recently (personally and professionally) as a jumping off point for talking about missteps, how we corrected them, and what we learned.
Read MoreThis episode is for anyone curious about therapy.
October is Mental Health Awareness Month, and so I wanted to put together a few thoughts on the number one thing that has helped me navigate my anxiety: talk therapy.
Read MoreThis episode is for anyone who has ONE BIG TASK they really want to get done before the end of the year.
It’s October, which means we have less than three months until the end of the year. And while 2020 has been one of the weirdest years in modern history, we still somehow have normal life things that have slipped through the cracks.
Those things that we just keep procrastinating: home improvement, emotional chores, creative projects. These aren’t goals, they’re just tasks, the ones that keep slipping to the bottom of the priority list.
Let’s commit to choosing ONE thing we want to get done between now and the end of 2020 and share it as a way to stay accountable. Let’s make our future January 2021 selves super proud of how we finished the Wild West of 2020.
Read MoreThis BONUS episode is for anyone who wants to understand how influencers are making money every time you swipe up, or if you want to learn how to make that money yourself.
The truth is, a LOT of people you follow online, especially if they have any kind of a platform, they are using affiliate links. This can be an important part of your income stream if you are someone who creates content online. And some people are extra smart and savvy about it, like my friend and guest today Jessica Turner, from the blog The Mom Creative.
Read MoreThis episode is for anyone curious to hear the other angle of an origin story.
It’s our wedding anniversary! This week, Jeff and I celebrate 13 years of marriage, and so I thought it would be fun to have him on the show to share HIS side of our relationship’s origins. This is something I’ve talked and written about for years, but (surprise!) he has a different take.
Read MoreI am proud to partner on this bonus episode with EBY, a seamless underwear membership co-founded by actress and entrepreneur Sofia Vergara and my guest today, entrepreneur Renata Black.
In our conversation, Renata shares her passion about giving our everyday choices (like buying underwear) real power, and explains how a portion of every purchase of EBY panties or bras becomes part of their Microfinance program, empowering women around the globe with small loans.
Read MoreIt’s time for another episode about the best books we’ve read lately! This time I'm joined by Christine Koh, an author, speaker, blogger, podcaster, designer, and scientist. Yes, DR. Christine Koh is all of those things, and on this episode she is sharing books that speak to the Asian American experience AND her newfound love of the romance genre.
I'm sharing two books about cults, what I'm reading before I fall asleep at night, and the novel that took me totally by surprise.
So there is a LOT packed into this conversation.
Read MoreThis episode is for anyone who struggles with her inner “good girl.”
I read Break the Good Girl Myth: How To Dismantle Outdated Rules, Unleash Your Power, and Design a More Purposeful Life by Majo Molfino this summer and the whole idea resonated with me: identifying as a good girl, wanting to be seen as a good girl, and simultaneously wanting to get out of that trap.
Even at 40-something, I am still dismantling these parts of my identity, and I could see myself - and so many of my friends - in the five different types of “good girls” that Majo writes about.
Read MoreThis episode will motivate you to create a family yearbook (or any other kind of photo book).
Miss Freddy is back!
Last year’s Ep 41: 10 Tips to organize your digital photos with professional photo organizer Miss Freddy was so popular that I couldn't wait to have Casey (aka Miss Freddy) back on the show for more ideas about what to do with all the photos we’re drowning in.
This time we’re focusing on family yearbooks, but Miss Freddy’s advice applies to any sort of digital photo book you want to create. She’s sharing the steps, the tools, and the mindset to create an album you’ll be so happy to have.
Read MoreWelcome to this BONUS episode of the 10 Things To Tell You podcast, I am so excited to share another author interview, especially because Myquillyn Smith - aka The Nester - has been someone I’ve followed online for YEARS and years, but we had never actually spoken until we recorded!
Myquillyn has influenced the way I think about my home through her blog and then social media and then her books, starting with The Nesting Place, and then the Cozy Minimalist Home, and now, her latest release this fall titled Welcome Home. Her book and our conversation revolves around decorating your home for the SEASONS without buying a bunch of expensive decor that you then have to store, and also signaling to yourself and to your family the cycle of the year - EVEN when you live in Southern California where the temperature doesn’t change much.
Read MoreThis episode is part pep talk, part permission, and part mindfulness around the nuance and energy of friendship. I'm sharing about loneliness, the benefit to shallow friends, the necessity of friends who make you talk, and the call to look closer at old friendships (and whether or not they're all serving you).
Read MoreThis episode is a list of my current favorite things, and as usual, my picks are all over the place. I’m sharing my new project management app (which has changed my work life), a podcast recommendation, interesting people to follow on Instagram, what I’m getting my husband for his birthday, a new (old) beauty product, and more.
I hope this list encourages YOU to share your current favorite things!
Read MoreThis episode is for anyone who needs a little help with their attitude and self-talk right now.
I know I beat this drum regularly, but I really believe that the way we speak to ourselves shapes the way we move in the world. And these days, my self-talk can be all over the place. On this episode, I’m sharing my own personal current mantras and affirmations, and also just talking about how these things can work in your life. (Hint: it’s not magic. It’s brain science.)
But the best part of this episode is hearing from the listeners who sent in THEIR own mantras. So many great words out there.
Read MoreIn this BONUS episode, Jenna and I talk through a few of the reasons white women statistically stay silent about important issues:
This episode is for anyone who needs a good, long, catchup with girlfriends.
It's been awhile since we've had a huge dose of girlfriend chat on the show, but great conversations are the driving force of 10 Things To Tell You. In our long overdue conversation, Meg and I each share five things we need to catch up on. We talk loneliness, Real Housewives, true crime obsessions, the perfect amazon purchase, shoes, and intuition.
Read MoreWhat's your BIG story? The main narrative arc to your life? The story that is central to your identity? Anyone who knows you well knows this story. Maybe it happened in childhood. Maybe you're currently in the middle of it. But we all have one, big, main story.
In movies and in literature, they call this the Hero's Journey. It's one of the the most common storytelling devices in art. On this episode, I'm sharing my own BIG story. The thing that I arrange events into Before & After.
This episode is for anyone who could use an honest evaluation in the middle of something. (And maybe a reset.)
In the beginning, we make plans. Set goals. Hope for the best. At the end, we evaluate how it went. We make notes for next time. We accept our trophies or don't. But what about in the middle? Don't we need to stop down and ask some hard questions in the MIDDLE? To see if we're on track? To make tweaks? To define what it means to "finish well"?
Read MoreLaura Tremaine has 10 Things to Tell You.
I live in Los Angeles. I'm a reader, a podcaster, a wife, and a mom.
At all times, I have (at least) 10 Things To Tell You. And I know that YOU have 10 Things To Tell.
This place is about connection, with each other and with ourselves. We can only do this by opening our eyes and seeing others and (even harder) by letting ourselves be seen.
Let’s tell our stories.
Let’s share our stuff.
I’ll go first.
