In January 2021, I launched the next chapter of my life and work: How to Love—a podcast about relationships, sex, and parenting, hosted by yours truly and my husband, Joshua Fields Millburn. And for eight months, I didn’t write a blog post about it. Read on »
Gingerbread Cashew Butter Kiss Cookies
A few weeks ago my friend Bridget texted me asking if I’d be willing to develop a cookie recipe using her Gingerbread Cashew Butter and it felt like the perfect excuse to do some baking. It’s been a year and a half since I last posted a recipe. I’ll write a blog post or two about why I’ve been on a recipe (and writing) hiatus for much of the past 2 years. But for now, let’s dive into the cookie!

It was late at night when I pulled into our frost-coated driveway in Montana and turned off the car, I swung my travel bag over my shoulder and walked into the house. After setting my bag down on the kitchen table, I sleepily wandered to the thermostat and turned it up a few degrees. As I trudged up the stairs to bed I had a flash-back to the day I departed our Montana home for California and I remembered what would greet me upstairs.
Minimal Clothing
This fall I refreshed my wardrobe. I replaced my 14 year old ski jacket that was no longer waterproof and I got a knee-length and very warm jacket to make winter in Montana more bearable. I replaced a couple of pitted-out white shirts, a ratty old sweatshirt, and got my first pair of flannel-lined jeans (they’re heaven). But after those very nice upgrades, I kept looking at clothing. I opened email proclaiming it was sale time. I clicked on social media ads for everything from workout wear to jewelry. It felt like I’d been infected by the shopping bug.
Turning Down The Noise of Hyperarousal
Hyperarousal. Never heard of it? Me neither. But hyperarousal is a helpful concept to understand if you struggle with being easily excitable or have frequent feelings of restlessness, anxiety, overwhelm, and an inability to focus.
Motherhood
Mother’s day is a perfect time to reflect on motherhood — appreciating having a world-class mom as a role model, enjoying the friendship of other inspiring mothers, and processing my personal experience raising a precocious little girl. My path into motherhood was planned and fairly typical (meet person, marry person, have baby), but life over the six years since she was born has been extra-ordinary.
Banana Protein Muffins and Bread
When I was a kid, a neighbor and close friend shared a sour cream banana bread recipe with my mom. It was chewy, hearty, sweet, and just a little tangy, and if allowed I would’ve eaten the entire loaf every time it came out of the oven. The sour cream banana bread is one of the recipes I make to remind me of my childhood home, but it needed a 21st century update.
She’s Hungry Podcast
Cait Pearson, creator of the She’s Hungry Podcast, had me on her show recently to discuss life and entrepreneurship. It was a great conversation in which I shared a lot of my story related to starting and running Minimal Wellness.
