In this PJs & Pokey episode, Kellie and Erin cozy up in their pajamas with “pokey” (their mom’s name for popcorn) to reflect on recent powerful conversations and the summer adventures that recharged their hearts.
Kellie’s 28-day road trip included 11 days completely off-grid in the wilderness—just a tent by a river, morning coffee, and conversations that matter. Erin’s Montana travels brought the awe of Glacier National Park and reconnections with places from her boyfriend Jason’s childhood.
Along the way, they revisit lessons from recent guests: Katie’s intentional journey as a bonus mom, Pop’s decades of unconditional love, Marcus’s vulnerable story of grief and resilience, and Dr. Matthew Arau’s simple but powerful reminder to turn your “have tos” into “G.E.T. tos.”
This is more than a recap—it’s a heartfelt reminder that rest, reflection, and nature’s wisdom can heal in ways words cannot.
Hearing the stories of others helps us create a more meaningful connection to our own—because legacy isn’t just what we leave behind, it’s how we live right now.
