GIRL CHAT: Honest Mid-Year Check In, Fitness & Nutrition, Heart Check, and Q3 Intentions
BRB with Joelle | Lifestyle & Wellness for Women in their 30sShow Notes
After a little podcast pause, I’m back — and today we’re having an honest mid-year check-in. Think of this episode like a coffee chat with your wellness bestie. I’m sharing what’s been going on behind the scenes lately (the highs, the struggles, and the things I’ve been learning), and how I’m hitting reset mentally, physically, and spiritually as we move into the second half of the year. We’ll talk about:
Why I got some blood work done — and what it revealed
How I’m thinking about health routines this summer (spoiler: it’s not about perfection)
The scripture that’s been grounding me lately (Galatians 6:9 if you want to peek ahead!)
Simple ways to reflect, realign, and set your Q3 intentions
Navigating motherhood, work, and finding space to care for you in the midst of it all
If you’ve been craving a reset too, or just need a reminder that it’s okay to begin again — this one’s for you. 💛 Thanks so much for listening — it means the world to me to have you here.Let’s keep the conversation going over on Instagram: JoelleSuessCome say hi and share your own mid-year intentions with me!

Welcome to the first official episode of BRB with Joelle! 💛 I’m sharing why it was time to say goodbye to Living in Sync, what BRB means to me, and the more casual, offline direction I want to take the show. Plus, we chat about:
It's been a while, so I'm sharing a little life update! In this episode, I catch you up on what life has looked like over the past few months, including:
In this episode, I’m sitting down for a real-life Q1 update, because the first few months of this year did not go how I expected, but looking back now, I can see how everything kind of unfolded the way it was supposed to. January was really quiet for my podcast production business, and for the first time in a long time, I started seriously thinking about working outside the house again after being self-employed for 13–14 years. I applied for a job I really wanted and didn’t get it, which was disappointing at the time… but as you’ll hear in this episode, that ended up redirecting me in a way I couldn’t have planned. February brought a bit of a health scare when I found a lump and had to go through a mammogram, ultrasound, and biopsy. Thankfully everything came back benign after they drained fluid, but that whole experience definitely makes you pause and think about life a little differently. Around that same time, I also took about a 40-day break from scrolling and social media apps, and honestly, that might have been one of the most impactful things I did this year. It really clarified for me how much I enjoy the physical world — my town, my routines, my family, real conversations — and how I don’t want to live my life primarily online. Then in March, through a friend connection, I ended up interviewing for a job, got an offer, and started in late March. I’m still working with my three long-term podcast clients, but this new chapter has been really grounding and different in a good way. In this episode I also talk about:
This is one of the most honest episodes I’ve recorded in a while. I sat down and hit “record” not with a plan, but with a full heart and an in-between season I know so many of us find ourselves in. If you’ve ever felt stuck, unclear, or like your ambition has nowhere to go right now this one’s for you. In this episode, I’m sharing what I’m doing when I don’t have a clear path forward. We talk about:
In this episode, I’m sharing some of the small but powerful shifts that have helped our family eat healthier — without turning meals into a battle or making a million changes at once. As a certified nutritionist (and busy mom), I get how overwhelming it can feel to overhaul your family’s eating habits. So instead, I’m walking you through the mindset shifts and simple strategies I use to keep things realistic and sustainable — especially during busy seasons. We chat about:
