Join us as we navigate these emotional transitions, exploring the unexpected dynamics that come with pet ownership and the evolving relationships within the family.

Ever wondered how a shared love for a TV show could spark a heartfelt project? Join us, Emily and Trina, on the debut episode of the Mind Your Heart Podcast as we recount the spontaneous moments that led us to create this space dedicated to mental health. Inspired by the bond between Lorelai and Rory Gilmore, we aim to explore real conversations about anxiety, depression, and self-acceptance with warmth, humor, and authenticity. From our golden doodle Kobe's walks to Emily's immediate excitement, we share the fun and genuine stories behind our podcast's inception.

Kickstarting this journey, Emily dives into her new venture in confidence coaching while we reflect on the years of counseling that have shaped our perspectives. We cherish the tradition of watching Gilmore Girls together and hope to bring that same sense of connection to our listeners. So, grab your emotional support water bottle, settle into your comfiest chair, and join our mother-daughter duo as we mind our hearts and aim to make minding yours a little easier.
