Ayla and Potato3s: A Nightly Message From Your Best Friend

This one is for the ones who could use a friend. Do you wish you had a friend who would call you every night to tell you about their day? Not the Instagram perfect friend.

Part affirmation, part confession, part reminder that you are not alone. Soft truth. Hard days. The courage to keep going. Come as you are. I"ll be here.

In this episode, I set my April theme to “activating actions” and finally start moving on the things I’ve been meaning to do like setting up Pinterest, downloading Word to my phone, and making progress on my Amazon listings. I also share a slower, more practical day with my sister, a trip to Ulta and Aldi, a movie night for Avatar: Fire and Ash, and a few travel-prep wins as I get ready for New York.

2026/04/01

Ayla and Potato3s: A Nightly Message From Your Best... ·

2026/03/31

In this episode, I’m thinking out loud about a slower, more mindful day: running errands for my upcoming trip, packing little things like shampoo, toothpaste, and chocolate chips, and trying to let the day be what it is instead of forcing productivity. I also talk honestly about feeling thrown off by stress, poor rest, and the messy reality of family dynamics, while reminding myself that I can sort through it one thought at a time.

Ayla and Potato3s: A Nightly Message From Your Best... ·

2026/03/29

In this episode, I lean into my “golden era” and say yes to a pair of sparkly gold shoes I’d been wanting for years. I spend the day wandering stores, trying things on, updating my skincare and lashes, and thinking about how sometimes letting go of the old pair is really just making room for a brighter version of myself.

Ayla and Potato3s: A Nightly Message From Your Best... ·

2026/03/28

In this episode, I slow down and let myself take a real day off, skipping the gym, and realizing my body needed a bandaid more than a push. I talk about a mostly good day that still held tears, a surprising letter, a disappointing Chinese restaurant, and why I’m choosing to pause therapy for now because I need more protection than exposure

Episode 610: Go With the Flow

Ayla and Potato3s: A Nightly Message From Your Best... ·

2026/03/27

In this episode, I lean into “go with the flow”: a longer swim with my new goggles, an unexpected serenade and pickup-line in the sauna, and another small win on the pull-up bar. I also walk through redoing my “Color With Me” listing, sneaking in an impromptu movie (Project Hail Mary), and wrestling with what actually counts as “enough” for a full day.

Ayla and Potato3s: A Nightly Message From Your Best... ·

2026/03/26

In this episode, I share a bunch of little “odds and ends”: getting a 95 on my big assessment, a canceled gym class that turned into a much-shorter-than-planned swim, and realizing my arms are still recovering. I talk about rebuilding my coloring book and journal listings (including renaming “Create With Me” to “Color With Me” and retitling my 40-day journal), navigating odd gym-membership drama with my mom, and daydreaming about a future Valentino bag while I plan my next retreat.

Ayla and Potato3s: A Nightly Message From Your Best... ·

2026/03/25

In this episode, I share a soft, snack-filled kind of day: swimming laps until my arms ached, going to therapy, and then honoring my therapist’s advice to “take it easy” with a box of Triscuits and some supreme-pizza chips. I talk about my favorite comfort meal, tweaking my journals and book listings, and why the most freeing part of my retreat might have been not having to say “hi” to anyone unless I actually wanted to.

2026/03/24

I talk about DM’ing a Ford models manager on a whim, painting in a new style, planning future concerts and travel, and why learning to say yes, to naps, opportunities, and my own soul, feels like inviting God and the universe to say yes back to me
