The Bread and Butter Podcast with Brecklyn Simmons

Allina Kay is a midwestern, Christian, Taylor-Swift-loving 20-something. She moved to Ukraine 11 days before the Russian occupation. On purpose. Listen to our conversation about finding God, her life's ministry of caring and advocating for orphaned Ukrainian children, and what YOU can do to make the world a better place once you've gotten up off your knees.

This a safe place to cringe out and bond over the shared trauma that is childhood trends. Let's talk mustache duct tape, criminal capri's, and the trends that we lived and died for!

It's a throwbackkkk to the segment that had a vice grip on me in those early podcasting days! Back to regular programming soon, but in the meantime, why NOT chat about the foods I'm eating on loop?

It's almost Mothers Day and my conversation with Cassidy covers ALL the bases from natural childbirth, to setting boundaries, to being the mom that doesn't have to entertain the kids...unless you want to! Listen in, this is a good one! Follow Cassidy on Instagram at cassidybellphoto thehive.venue

I'm heading into my second "Southern girl summer" and I couldn't help but bring Trent on to chat about what the last year has been like for us before we move because I don't want to forget. There were some high highs and some low lows and I wouldn't change anything!

If there's one thing you should have...it's the audacity. Let's chat confidence, putting yourself out there, risk taking and how I scored my husband by *mildly* stalking him! See you there!

I've been wary of motherhood since I was young, but only recently started to unpack why--and I know I’m not alone. Join me and Joni—host of The Sad Mom's Club and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner to talk about how to understand your emotional needs, take charge of your mental health, and LET your partner be an equal parent, along with SO MUCH MORE. Joni has so much to share and I couldn't be more grateful.

If you're anything like me, the conservative culture of modesty wasn't a problem. Until it was. As an adult, I've wrestled with my thoughts and feelings surrounding the concept of what society told me modesty was--and what it said about me. In this episode with the brilliant Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife, a licensed therapist specializing in sexuality and relationships and also a member of my faith, we discuss what modesty actually is, why it has little to do with the clothes you wear, and how to re-claim modesty as an empowering, personal decision for yourself.  Jennifer's course for women! http://jennifer-finlaysonfife.squarespace.com/art-post-lms

This episode is an ode to the Ugg wearing (yes, really), super trouper-ing, Oscar winning queen of all our hearts, MERYL STREEP. I can't wait to tell you more!

For all of my 90's movie connoisseurs...it's time to cry our way down memory lane from Drew Barrymore's greatest performance to men in capri's doing back tucks. Come along for the ride! 

It's been a long couple months. Time for a pep talk.
