To learn more about the other podcasts in our round-up, read on:
 
 
25% Friends / Sarah and Kim are 100% friends but only 25% alike. They're two girls who appreciate their similarities, respect their differences, and always find common ground. On their podcast they chat about everything from serious and deep topics like vulnerability and relationships to the fun and silly like their favorite treats and their love for their pets.
 
 
Friendlier / It's like eavesdropping on a phone call between Sarah and Abby, long time friends—and now parents—who love to talk, read, and eat. Every episode they review books, share recipes, and explore a sometimes random/sometimes serious topic.
 
 
Girl Next Door / Listening to The Girl Next Door Podcast is like catching up with girl friends over a cup of coffee or a cocktail. Former next door neighbors Erica and Kelsey invite you to join them for candid, hilarious conversations about raising a family, marriage, living with intention, pursuing creativity, and building community.
 
 
Minimalist Moms / Minimalist Moms is a bi-weekly conversation between two minimalist-living moms, Megan Ericson and Diane Boden. Our goal is to inspire you to think more and do with less.

The Cohesive Home Podcast is a conversation with friends who get it. Hosts Kate Saffle and Melissa Risenhoover are two moms who’ve found that a simpler, more intentional approach to family life creates space for what truly matters-less stress and more adventure. Each episode feels like grabbing a coffee with your most grounded, yet hilarious, friends. They dive into the real stuff: what family minimalism actually looks like when toys are everywhere, how to plan getaways with kids without losing your mind, and finding that elusive balance between personal ambitions and being present at home. This isn’t about perfect systems or picture-perfect lives; it’s about practical ideas and shared laughs over the beautiful chaos. The podcast moves at a relaxed pace, offering genuine takeaways in the span of a morning brew. You’ll hear their own stories, the mistakes and the wins, all focused on building a home that feels cohesive and light. It’s for anyone who wants to cut through the noise of modern parenting and cultivate a family culture filled with purpose and, most importantly, fun. Tune in for a dose of camaraderie and actionable inspiration for your own journey toward intentional living.
