Winter is Ghetto

Winter is doing the absolute most — the cold, the gray skies, and the sun clocking out before dinner. In this episode, Jo gets dramatic (and honest) about being a summer girl stuck in winter, how the season can feel heavy, and what it really takes to create joy when everything outside feels dreary. Funny, cozy, and real, this is your reminder that even in the coldest season, you can still find warmth, peace, and purpose.

How Community Held Me Last Year

How Community Held Me Together Last Year

Last year wasn’t something Jo navigated alone. In this episode, she reflects on how community showed up in quiet, meaningful ways through friends, family, faith, and creative spaces  and how allowing herself to receive support became a form of strength.

A gentle reminder that independence isn’t the same as isolation, and that being held by others can be just as powerful as holding yourself together.
