LIVING IN SYNC | Lifestyle & Wellness for Women in their 30s

In this episode, I’m sharing my top 7 favorite things of 2025 — the purchases, practices, and little joys that have added the most value to my life this year. Some were intentional splurges (hi, Facebook Marketplace sauna 🙌), and some were sweet surprises (like my Mother’s Day golf clubs that turned into a full-blown family hobby). I’m talking through all of it — the practical, the personal, and the fun. Here’s what I cover: My absolute best purchase of the year — and why it’s changed my wellness routine The sports bras I’m obsessed with (because comfort matters) How I fell back in love with running and what’s made it feel good again Thrifted home decor wins + how I’m using Pinterest differently this year A peek into how I’m using the Lose It app to track food with less pressure Why the Horacio Printing Dream Planner is still my ride-or-die for staying intentional and grateful I also share why I’m a big fan of setting goals quarter-by-quarter — and how this rhythm helps me stay in sync with what matters most in each season. 💛 Thanks for being here!

In this month’s Living in Sync girl chat, I’m sharing what’s been on my heart as we wrap up the year — from staying consistent with my goals to not getting caught in the holiday comparison trap. This episode was sparked by a sweet compliment someone gave me about my consistency, which led me to reflect on why I’ve been able to stay on track (even when life feels full and unpredictable). I’m talking through the systems and mindset shifts that help me keep showing up — and how you can make them work for your season too. Inside this episode: My honest December reflections and how I’m checking in with myself Thoughts on social media, comparison, and how I’m staying grounded A peek at my Spotify Wrapped + the music that’s been on repeat How I set intentional, realistic goals — and why writing things down matters Why I do quarterly reflections (and how it keeps me from drifting) A little celebration of this month’s “praise reports” — big and small wins Final encouragement to stay focused on your own pace, your own growth, and your own story This one’s part personal catch-up, part pep talk, part planning session — grab your coffee and come hang out with me. 📕 Gap & the Gain Book 💛 Let’s keep the convo going over on Instagram [@joellesuess] — I’d love to hear what you’re celebrating or locking in as we head into a new year!

In this episode, I’m sharing the mindset and simple strategies I’m leaning on to stay grounded and present during the holidays because let’s be real, it’s so easy to slip into hustle and chaos this time of year. I talk about why I recently took a break from social media and how it helped me reconnect with real life. That break gave me clarity, and now I’m more focused on creating a season that feels good rather than just checking boxes. Here’s what you’ll hear: How I’m assessing what season I (and my family) are in right now Setting realistic boundaries around events, expectations, and energy How I’m using my Notes app to stay organized and cut the chaos Gift ideas that feel intentional and don’t require panic-buying My plan for simple, low-stress meals and much needed downtime Thoughts on self-care (even in small ways) during the busy weeks ahead A few personal stories, October reflections, and life updates — including thrifting finds, what I'm watching, and what I’m currently loving which is PINTEREST This episode is like a warm holiday hug with a little strategy sprinkled in — if you're craving a slower, more meaningful season, I think you’ll love it. 💛 Thanks so much for tuning in — I love having you here. Let’s keep the convo going over on Instagram: joellesuess Tell me: what’s one thing you're simplifying this holiday season?  

In this episode, I’m sharing how I’m locking in my health and fitness goals as we head into the final stretch of the year — because this season doesn’t have to be a total free-for-all (or a stress spiral!). I talk through what it looks like to live in sync with this season of life instead of trying to force something extreme or unsustainable — and how I’m approaching Q4 with a mindset of steadiness, not burnout. Here’s what I cover: My go-to mindset shift for finishing the year strong (but not frantic) Why I’m following the plan, not my feelings What I’m focusing on daily: hydration, nutrition awareness, and consistent movement How I’m planning for social events and indulgences without spiraling Simple ways I’m tracking progress and adjusting as I go The role of uplifting content, supportive routines, and communities — plus a few recs! If you’ve ever felt like the end of the year is just “survival mode” — this episode is your reminder that you can still honor your body, take care of yourself, and feel really good going into a new year.
