Michelle and Kathy share what they’ve collected over the years, and how our collections help us tell the story of a life well lived.

As we shift into gear in 2024, Kathy and Michelle take a look at all they accomplished in 2023 and set some big goals for 2024. Kathy’s looking for a little bit of magic while Michelle is already hitting the ground running and accomplishing big things, including a speaking appearance in Taiwan at WordCamp Asia. What goals have you set for yourself? How did 2023 go for you? Let us know how you’re bringing your best self to a brand new year!

There are some family holiday traditions that are 100% unique. They may start out as cultural traditions and then evolve into things passed down through generations of family in their own unique way. And as they get passed down, each one of us has the opportunity to add our own unique flavor to each tradition. As we start our holiday traditions, we’re reminded of the power of our own unique individual expression. In this episode, we explore how our uniqueness strengthens our family bonds and give us more to celebrate. Join us as we celebrate the beauty of being authentically ourselves.

As 2023 comes to a close, Michelle and Kathy take a look back over the key milestones and peak experiences of the last year and what they’re looking forward to in 2024. The end of the year leaves them thinking of what they’d like more of, and of course with the passage of time, they have some thoughts on what’s truly important. They’re looking to make the most of their impact on communities as we all dive into a new year, and they certainly don’t have any more patience for inauthenticity. What are you looking forward to creating more of in 2024? Leave your thoughts in the comments!

During this season of giving, Kathy and Michelle think about how empowering it is to be of service to others, as well as allowing other people to be of service to us.

Sometimes you just have to rant. Or vent. Or let all the steam out. It’s good for you! In this episode Michelle and Kathy open up about unrealistic expectations, demands on time, and even failure on their own parts to get all the stuff done. And Michelle even cusses a little. But doesn’t it feel better once you let it all out?

Sometimes life gets a little busy and you have to make extra efforts for self care, for downtime and rejuvenation, and maybe just a little bit of nothing. This show is a lot about nothing, with a meandering conversation about all of the busy happenings in Kathy’s and Michelle’s lives over the last few weeks. Join us as we talk about all of the little nothings that somehow add up to something.

Michelle and Kathy talk about Michelle’s long birthday weekend with friend in Georgia, and how they made their home accessible for her needs. Kathy talks about motivation to work out at Cabo Press. And together they decide that neither of them will probably ever scale Mount Shasta.

As we continue to think about legacy and impact, we consider our own impact and legacy and the desire to be change agents for the betterment of our own worlds.

In this episode, Michelle and Kathy talk about how the open source WordPress community is motivated more by collaboration than competition.
