Have you talked to your Alexandria lately?

In this tender episode, Karen shares a childhood memory, a friendship that stretched across years, and the quiet nudge her mom used to give her: “Have you talked to Alexandria?” What once felt like a small question became a lifelong lesson about tending to relationships, reaching outward, and not letting busyness silence connection.

This isn’t a guilt trip. It’s a gentle reminder that friendships matter — even the ones that have grown quiet. As we lean into slower, sweeter days, let’s remember to nurture the people who’ve shaped our stories.

Maybe today is the day you call her.

This week’s episode wasn’t the one Karen originally planned to record — and that’s kind of the point. Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is pivot. In this short, honest conversation, Karen talks about the freedom to change your mind, switch directions, and go with the flow when something just isn’t sitting right. No big lesson. Just a gentle reminder that you’re allowed to adjust the course.

What if we treated reading like a real commitment — something worthy of a place on our calendars?

In this episode of Mom Life in the Woods, Karen invites you to reconsider reading as more than a hobby. In a world of endless scrolling and constant noise, choosing to sit down with a book is a quiet act of intention. You'll hear about why reading feels harder now, the mental and emotional benefits of slowing down with words, and how to create simple, meaningful reading rituals for yourself and even with your kids.

Whether you love novels, memoirs, devotionals, cookbooks, or poetry, this is your gentle reminder that it all counts.

So light a candle, pour a drink, and protect the time.

Sorry… you’re booked. 📚
