The Lavender Hour Podcast
A space for honest conversations, reflection and meaningful stories. Our goal is to make you feel like you’re sitting down with a friend over coffee to discuss life’s transitions, lived experiences and lean into the beauty and challenges of womanhood and motherhood. From identity and growth to the unspoken parts of our everyday lives, here we will share stories, wisdom, and encouragement that you're not alone.
From the lavender hour we want you to take what you need, and leave what you don't... this is your hour to reflect, reset, and feel a little lighter when you leave. So, pour yourself a glass, and settle in, we can't wait for you to join us.
With love, your co-hosts,
Ayla & Whit 💜
