It’ll Always Be Fun with Brooke and Miranda

Guys!!! We invited Brooke's cousin, Ryan Dickie over, and the conversation went exactly where we expected… absolutely everywhere. 😂💜

From Ryan’s social nightmare to how he and Miranda first met, we’re kicking off part one with plenty of laughs. Between the three of us, we have eleven children—which somehow leads to a discussion we never saw coming about football, hockey, and sports in general (IYKYK)🤣

We also reveal a special surprise for this amazing human, because someone this special deserves a day of his own! 🎆🎁

Ryan shares the heart behind the humor, the struggles of growing up, the story of Dukester, his first dog, who helped Ryan learn to believe in himself. 🐾❤️ And how even hard beginnings can have amazing endings. We follow his journey from Miami to Mason, West Virginia, his dramatic escape via train, and his inevitable return home. And how this place he once tried so hard to now leave holds an enormous place in his heart.❤️🏡

There’s courage, perseverance, and a lot of love in Ryan’s story. There are also three friends who probably need supervision.

And this is only part one. 😂🎙️

Be sure to join us for this episode! Because when we're together, it'll always be fun!

💚 What if the thing we’re afraid to share is the very thing another family needs to hear?

In the final part of our conversation with our dear friend Robin Harris, we talk about the guilt and shame that can keep parents quiet—and what becomes possible when we finally let someone in.

From building a village of trusted adults to having age-appropriate conversations about difficult subjects, Robin reminds us that small-town life doesn’t make our children immune to hard things. But we don’t have to navigate them alone. 🤝

Together, we explore the power of small acts of kindness, the courage it takes to accept help, and one message our children need to hear: Nothing you’re going through will make me stop loving you.

At the heart of it all is a conversation about God’s love—and how understanding that love can change the way we care for our children, our neighbors, and ourselves. 💚

Come join us as we wrap up our time with Robin, and rememeber, when we're together, it'll always be fun!

In part two of our conversation with our dear friend Robin Harris, we talk about what it really means to show up for people when life gets hard. ❤️

Robin takes us back to her early work with children in crisis and the lessons she learned about resilience, human behavior, and the incredible difference one person can make simply by staying. We talk about raising kids in a world filled with more “noise” than ever, why sometimes loving our children means allowing them to struggle, and the importance of learning that it’s okay to be uncomfortable.

We also turn toward Robin’s work surrounding the drug epidemic—the way addiction changes the brain, why recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all, and why no person should ever be written off as hopeless.

And woven throughout it all is something Robin learned from her own mom: love people in whatever form they come to you. 🫶

Because mistakes aren’t the end. Grief isn’t the end. The hardest season of your life isn’t the end.

Sometimes we have to sit in what hurts instead of trying to numb it or make it disappear.

This will end. But this is not the end. 💛

Grab your bestie and some tissues and join us, because when we're together, it'll always be fun!

Some people seem to have learned early that there’s always room for one more. Robin Harris is one of those people.

In Part One of our three-part conversation with Miranda’s lifelong friend, Robin, we go back to where her story began — growing up in a small town as one of five kids in a three-bedroom, one-bath house where somehow, the table was never too full. 🏡

Robin shares about the steadiness and generosity of her parents, the home everyone wanted to gather in, and the legacy of hospitality and kindness that still lives through Robin and her siblings today. We talk about the kind of faith that welcomes interruptions, makes space for people, and looks a whole lot like Jesus. 🤍

But Robin also opens up about a part of her story many people don’t know. Years of bullying left her carrying loneliness and shame — until an unexpected magazine article helped shift the course of the second half of her high school years. ✨

It’s a conversation about family, belonging, resilience, human connection, and how love can grow incredibly big in even the smallest spaces.

And maybe it’s no surprise that Robin eventually built a life and career around helping people — because for her, it has always come back to kindness, connection, and simply doing the next right thing. ❤️

This is Part One of our three-part series with Robin Harris — and trust us, we’re just getting started. 🎙️✨

When did getting dressed stop being about what we loved and start being about what was practical? Somewhere between growing up, raising kids, folding approximately 47,000 loads of laundry, and taking care of everybody else… parts of ourselves can quietly get packed away too. 🧺

🎙️This week, it’s just Brooke and Miranda back in the studio talking about everything from overflowing closets and dream homes to how our style changes through different seasons of life. But what starts as a conversation about fashion turns into something much bigger: the dreams, wants, interests, and pieces of ourselves we sometimes set aside while we’re busy being wives, moms, caretakers, and everything everyone needs us to be.

And then something starts to shift. 

For a lot of us, our 40s feel surprisingly like another coming of age. The kids need us differently. Things that have been dormant begin showing back up. We start asking what we actually like, what we want, and who we are apart from all the roles we’ve carried.

Maybe growing older isn’t about trying to “get back” to the person you used to be... Maybe you get to meet the person you are now. ❤️

So, go grab your bestie and join us, because when we're together, it'll always be fun! 💜
