Welcome back to Boundaries & Banter — the podcast where sisters-in-law Taryn & Michela get real about life, boundaries, relationships, and mental health. In this raw wellness check episode, we bring it back to basics and talk about where we’re really at. From constant exhaustion and surviving instead of thriving, to the nonstop cycle of sick kids, allergies, OIT appointments, work stress (especially as a litigator), financial pressure in California, beauty standards, postpartum recovery, digital detox, and the unrealistic expectations we all face as moms and working women. We also touch on gratitude, rewiring your brain, checking in on friends, radical acceptance of hard seasons, and why it’s okay to sit in negative emotions without immediately trying to “fix” them. If you’re feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or just need to hear that you’re not alone — this one’s for you. Timestamps:
