10 Things To Tell You

I’m sharing four mistakes I don’t regret in my: Education Marriage Business & Body As we come to the end of another calendar year, I’m (as always) nostalgic and reflective. Here are some of the biggest choices in my life that were the “wrong” choices, but I don’t regret them. (Okay, one of them I do regret.) At the end of the episode, we hear listener voices chiming in with some of their biggest life lessons over the last few years. (Listener voices are always my favorite part of the episode.)

Have you ever had the thoughts: I don’t have enough time Time is passing me by I’m wasting too much time If this is something that really affects your mood, your schedule, and you're full of frazzle, overwhelm, or a continuing existential crisis, then you may have Time Anxiety. (Not an official thing - just a name I gave to something that affects me regularly.) In this episode, I’m sharing about my own Time Anxiety and how it hurts my productivity and my parenting. I’m also talking about how to notice ALL the messages we get in our culture about TIME, and why those messages are giving us constant low-level hums of anxiety. I’m also sharing a few concrete methods I use to combat Time Anxiety. I hope you find this episode helpful or at the very least like you’re not the only one obsessed with the passage and managing of time. FULL SHOW NOTES HERE Sponsors: Ritual vitamins.

We're in the home stretch of 2021 and plans for 2022 are starting to take shape. So I am so excited to welcome Sarah Hart-Unger to the show to talk about planning (rituals, philosophies, and more) and planning tools (paper planners, apps, and books).  Planning and productivity is a side hobby of mine, but Sarah Hart-Unger is much more of an expert. She's a doctor, a mom, a blogger, and has not one but TWO podcasts on these topics. You can find her blogging daily at TheShuBox.com and on her podcast Best Laid Plans (all about planning tools) and as a cohost with Laura Vanderkam on Best of Both Worlds (all about time management and work/life balance).  We had a great conversation about ALL of these things, which left me excited for the year ahead in both work and family life.  FULL SHOW NOTES HERE Read more about Sarah Hart-Unger Follow Sarah Hart-Unger on IG   SPONSORS Betterhelp.

Well this episode is a bit of a departure.  One of the strangest things about our life in Hollywood (and there are many, many strange things) is our enormous fish tank. Every time I share a little bit about our fish tank on social media, I get flooded with questions that I mostly can't answer.  So I finally recorded a conversation with someone who could! Nic Tiemens is the co-founder of Infinity Aquariums and not only does he take care of the Tremaine Tank for us every week, he has installed and maintained tanks for some of the biggest celebrities and most beautiful homes in the world.  In this episode, Nic shares how he stumbled into this line of work, why you shouldn't ever get a fish tank on a whim, and the insane new project he's been working on for two years in Bel Air.  My husband Jeff also joins us for part of the conversation, because he's the real reason we have a 1,500 gallon fish tank in our dining room.  FULL SHOW NOTES HERE Learn more about Nic and Infinity Aquariums Follow @infinityaquariums on

My annual social media challenge #OneDayHH will take place on Tuesday, November 9th 2021.  This short, informative episode will explain a little more about what #OneDayHH is, how it works, and why it's so meaningful.  #OneDayHH stands for One Day Hour by Hour, and that's what we do: document ONE DAY in our life, hour by hour. Sharing the things that don't usually get shared, like routines and spaces and outfits and all that other minutia.  We do it because it's fun, and that's reason enough. But this minisode might give you a little more inspiration to jump in.  Follow me on IG @laura.tremaine to see MY day.  For more information go to: 10ThingsToTellYou.com/OneDayHH Can't wait for you to join in with this day-in-the-life challenge this year!    Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode is for anyone who misses being a student.  I have a running list of classic novels that I want to re-read as an adult or read for the first time because I missed them in high school English class.  And so once a year or so, I force myself to pick up those novels that end up on All Time Best lists like this one. Or this one. Or even this one.  If you have the same literary burden, this episode is meant to help you choose a classic that won't be a total bore.  I'm joined by my friend and Patreon producer Colleen Powell, a former teacher and current audio editor outside of Chicago.  Colleen helps me with the Secret Stuff Book Club, and this winter we're reading a few classic novels starting this November with Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.  Join the Secret Stuff Book Club HERE.  In our conversations, Colleen and I are sharing both the best contemporary books we've read lately AND the best classic novels we'd recommend to anyone.  FULL SHOW NOTES HERE  Best Books We've Read Lately: The Guncle b

Well this MONSTER of an episode is brought to you by my inability to pick and choose among the great questions I got for this session of Ask Me Anything.  I'm sharing stuff about our new house, reading nonfiction, kids & tech, purposeful "no's", how I've changed, and vulnerability hangovers.  (I might have a vulnerability hangover after this episode!) Thank you to all who sent in such question questions - I'm sorry I couldn't get to all of them.  I let it all hang out here, but for some of the questions that are even MORE personal, I'll be answering those over at Secret Stuff later this week.  FULL SHOW NOTES HERE Other episodes mentioned: Ep 136: 3 changes I'm Making To Find Balance Ep 104: Old Friends/New Friends  Ep 34: The Robbery   Sponsors: Honey.

Fall schedules are SO full around here, and this time of year our family can easily go weeks without a meaningful conversation.  I've created 10 Questions To Ask Your Kids that you can pick and choose, modify for your family dynamics, or toss up one at a time over a week or so in order to spark great conversations between kids and adults.  These questions work for all ages (as long as the child can hold a conversation) and are a mix of light, fun, and deep.  FULL SHOW NOTES HERE After I share all 10 prompts, I have a short conversation with my own kids: Lucy, age 11, and Finch, age 9.  Sponsors Olive and June.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I have long wanted to have this conversation with my friend, stylist, and breast cancer survivor Bethany Winters.  Content Warning: Bethany speaks candidly about her experience in this episode. Please take care while listening.  In 2016, at age 47, Bethany Winters was diagnosed with Grade 3 Stage IIB Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. What followed was a year of intensive treatment, including chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, and total hysterectomy. In this episode, Bethany shares 10 Things about breast cancer survivorship, and how it's not ever really over even when declared "cancer-free."  This is a tender and important conversation.  Follow @BethanySWinters on twitter Follow @BethanyWin on IG FULL SHOW NOTES HERE   SPONSORS Ritual.

My health, hormones, and heart have been on a swinging pendulum and this fall I'm on a mission to get centered. We can't control everything that's happening in the world, but we can pay attention to our bodies and our homes and our rituals to create the best space for us to thrive.  I'm sharing 3 (small-ish) changes I've been making to navigate the logistics and emotions of the last year.  1. Less liquids 2. Monotasking + Margin 3. End-of-Day rituals FULL SHOW NOTES HERE Please do let me know if you're incorporating any of these (or other) changes in your life this fall as a way to find some equilibrium.  SPONSORS: Skillshare.

This episode is for anyone seeking a life change.  We cannot, of course, plan for many of the plot twists that life throws our way.

What if we're seeking a new direction in our story?  This conversation with Roxy Stone and Katelyn Beaty from the Saved by the City podcast is all about purposefully creating our own life plot twist.  FULL SHOW NOTES HERE Listen to the Saved by the City podcast Follow Roxy Stone on twitter Follow Katelyn Beaty on twitter Sponsors Prose haircare.

This episode is for anyone who needs a little style boost this fall. Okay, so it's been 18+ months of sweatpants and work-from-home pajamas and I'm over it. I want to feel cute in my clothes again. But I'm not totally sure where to start. My body has changed, my style has changed, my wardrobe needs have changed. Thank goodness for Alison Lumbatis, CEO of Get Your Pretty On and author of the new book The Ultimate Book of Outfit Formulas.  In this episode, Alison walks us through 10 Tips for Wardrobe Confidence, and I basically needed every single one of these. I hope this conversation gives you the motivation to clear out the closet and put your best foot (shoe?) forward.  FULL SHOW NOTES HERE Learn more about Alison Lumbatis Follow Alison Lumbatis on IG Learn more about Get Your Pretty On Follow Get Your Pretty On on IG Buy The Ultimate Book of Outfit Formulas   SPONSORS: Olive & June.

This episode is for anyone overwhelmed with all their STUFF.  But rest assured, this isn't just another minimalist approach to your home. It's not even a get-rid-of-everything attitude. Allie Casazza has such a relatable story about the drowning days of early motherhood and how it led her to an AHA moment about all her STUFF. Eventually she created the online movement - and now book - Declutter Like a Mother. In our conversation, Allie and I talk about the myth of the hot mess mom, how much your space matters, and more. I really liked her fresh perspective on something I've been tackling in my own life for years.  FULL SHOW NOTES HERE Learn more about Allie Casazza Follow Allie on IG Buy Declutter Like A Mother   SPONSORS: Ritual.

Content warning: Child loss and suicide  This episode is one of the most tender and important I’ve ever shared on this show, and I am just so deeply grateful to Amy Ortloff for having this conversation with me and letting me make it public.  In 2017, Amy Ortloff lost her middle child Ryan to suicide. Ryan was just 17 years old. Less than a week after his death, Amy took to her personal Facebook page and starting sharing every single day. She began by sharing stories about Ryan, family memories and examples of the kind of kid he was. She didn't want her child to be forgotten.  As the weeks went by, deep in grief, Amy also started sharing her own experiences of this devastating time she was living through. She shared what she was learning in therapy, she set and shared her personal boundaries for interaction for those in her small town Oklahoma community.  Amy's sharing was raw and vulnerable. It was heartbreaking and powerful. I made a point to read her posts every day that first year after Ryan.  This episode
