Temporada 2

Almost Thirty-Fine

I’m turning 39 and sharing the lessons, laughs, chaos, and growth that got me here. From mom life and marriage to business ownership and embracing my Gemini energy, this episode is real, relatable, and a little unhinged. Grab your favorite drink and let’s chat about life before the end of this decade begins.

Mother’s Day Tea, A Year Later

One year later and Speak Reel is still fueled by caffeine, chaos and mom survival mode. Amanda & I talk motherhood, mental load, almost 40 energy, Mother’s Day realities, and how one random kitchen recording turned into a community of women just trying to survive life together!

The Friendship Audit

In the words of Taylor Swift, a friend to all is a friend to none. We are keeping it all the way reel today… friendships, boundaries, and knowing when it’s time to let go. Here’s friendships, part 2.

Let’s go back to the beginning, friendships

Friendships… The ones that stay, the ones that fade, and the ones you fight to keep — this episode gets into all of it. Reel, honest, and a reminder that if your circle looks more like a triangle- good it just means it’s “reel”

I’m not busy… I’m maxed out 😵‍💫

In this episode of Speak Reel, I’m talking about the mental load no one sees—the constant tabs open in our brains, the pressure of doing it all, and why “just relax” isn’t actually a thing. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, overstimulated, and still expected to keep going… this one’s for you. Come sit with me- let’s keep it reel. 🎙️

Winter Blues, Valentines Views & Big January Energy

From winter blues and holiday hangovers to big wins we need to celebrate — like Speak Reel making it into a magazine! I am unpacking it all. And because it’s February… let’s settle it: is Valentine’s Day cheesy, overrated, or low-key our love language? Also, check out Sweet Sips Soda LLc, my newest business venture with Meaghan- it’s family fun on a whole new level. We are mixing up dirty sodas, alanis and making your next event that much sweeter!

Groundhog Days & Christmas Nights

I will be talking about the life we were told to expect—school, marriage, kids, success—and what happens when at 38 you realize it’s time to pivot. When “living your best life” still feels like Groundhog Day, this one hits different. Add in the magical mayhem of Christmas—Grinch Day, stomach bugs, Polar Express, projects, traditions, and trying to soak it all in without losing it. Plus an NGL moment: what’s the best Christmas gift you’ve ever received? And for the first time ever John and his bestie Chris join the kitchen chat together to talk all things Christmas.

A Case of the Shoppies

I am catching a full-blown Case of the Shoppies: Black Friday nostalgia, and the Christmas gifts that raised us— what were the ones that made absolutely no sense, yet you begged for anyway? Grab an iced coffee or a marg and let’s get reel!

Swartzmas has entered the chat

Halloween? Done. Mariah Carey? Defrosting. Swartzmas? Activated! It’s that time of year where life goes from “boo” to “bananas” in 0.2 seconds — between events, holidays, and everything in between. We’re breaking it all down with laughs, gift guides, and the truth about mom-life in the most magical (and mildly chaotic) season of the year.

Back to School Scaries: Pencils, Panic & Pick Up Lines

Welcome to Speak Reel: Goodbye Summer & Hello School Season 2 begins! We are back to school surviving by a thread & cold brew coffees. Amanda & I talk about the back to school expectations and trying to get back into the routines of life. Are you smarter than a 5th grader? The jury is still out on me!
