À propos de cet audio

Cozy coffee chats with Melissa — a Michigan homebody who disappears to a 10-acre up-north cabin every chance she gets.

This podcast is part personal journal, part cozy cabin life—no advice, no pressure, just honest reflection.

One minute I’m making jewelry at the kitchen table while the German Shepherd snores, the next I’m dodging mosquitoes and chasing cardinals in the quiet woods.

Expect soft humor, zero pretense, and whatever I’m obsessing over this week:

🌲 cabin chaos & bonfire nights

🐦 birds at both feeders (suburban and wilderness)

🎨 new jewelry drops

📺 binge-watch confessions

☕ the little moments that actually matter

If you like your podcasts like your coffee — warm, real, and just a little messy — grab a mug and come sit with me.

New episodes Tuesdays & Thursdays, 8 AM Eastern.

  • When Your Mind Won’t Quiet and Life Feels Loud

    When Your Mind Won’t Quiet and Life Feels Loud
    Dec 18 2025

    Lately, life has felt loud—especially in my head.

    In this episode, I talk honestly about overwhelm, racing thoughts, and the cycle of overthinking that can keep us stuck. From lying awake at night with a noisy mind to walking away from goals out of fear of failing, this is a quiet conversation about noticing the pattern and learning to create space for calm.

    This isn’t about pushing harder or having it all figured out. It’s about slowing down, finding structure, and taking one small step when the noise feels overwhelming.

    Dec 16 2025

    I used to be obsessed with squirrels… until forty-five hit and suddenly I’m a birdwatcher. In this episode, I unravel how that happened, why it seems universal, and what this says about midlife hobbies. If you relate, welcome—you’re in good company.
