This week on Coffee Monday, Rae is joined by Nicole Eachus, content creator and CEO of Eachus Estate (iykyk), for a thoughtful, real conversation about intentional living in a season where titles don’t always tell the full story.

Together, they unpack what intentional actually looks like while navigating motherhood, creativity, partnership, friendship and work, including an honest conversation around reframing the label “stay-at-home mom,” and why it often fails to capture the mental load, ambition, and behind-the-scenes work so many women are carrying.

Rae and Nicole also reflect on the vision boards they created together in 2025 - what manifested, what didn’t, what surprised them, and the energy they’re bringing into 2026.

The conversation wraps the only way it could, they’ve got kids to pick up! So pour a cup of coffee (or reheat it again) and press play for that mid-morning reset you didn’t know you needed.
