Where We've Been & Where We're Going - Welcome to Season 3!
We’re excited to be back creating another new season of The Biscuits & Sunshine Podcast! If you have been on the journey with us – Welcome Back! If you are new to the pod we're so glad you found us, Welcome to the community!
We started this creative endeavor from a shared desire to use our voices, create community, and empower women to cultivate lives that generate joy. We have focused so much energy on pushing, achieving, and proving over the years. All of which has served us well, but…we’re exhausted. In this season of our lives, we crave to work at a sustainable pace, resourcing ourselves as we listen to our intuition, follow our rhythms, and lean into things that feel good to create. We trust that what resonates for us will likely resonate with you.
Looking back, it feels like that first year flew by – we recorded 26 episodes!! Wow, 26!! This goes to show the power of our shared passion & collaboration. Through this new project, we leaned into our individual expertise and learned so much from one another while growing in the podcasting process together. With you, our Biscuits & Sunshine community, we shared our perspectives on a wide range of topics from a place of curiosity, authenticity, and a commitment to growth and creativity.
April is always a special month for us. Not only is it the month we started the podcast back in 2024, it’s also the month of Easter celebrations and time changes. In April, symbols of rebirth & renewal emerge as spring takes hold. We find it to be an inspiring time of year for us to begin again in any area of life. With learnings from season one under our belts, we enthusiastically launched season two in April 2025. After a few short months we took a longer-than-expected pause. If you’ve been following us for a while, you likely noticed around June last year we stopped delivering new episodes, and we went quiet on social media.
In the spirit of authenticity, we want to be transparent and answer the questions you’ve asked – where did we go? What happened? Why did the podcast stop?
In a nutshell, we each faced a series of unexpected life events. The theme of health redirected our attention and refocused the both of us in different ways.
Landra’s mom fell ill and needed support, which kept her in California for four months. At this moment, her mom’s health is stable. Caring for aging parents is a challenge with extra difficulty when living abroad, and it’s often not talked about enough.
Callie tended to her own health after she received an unexpected diagnosis of endometriosis last summer and underwent abdominal surgery a few months later. It went exactly as the doctor hoped, and recovery went well, δοξα τω Θεω (Glory to God!). Callie is back in action and learning more than ever about her body.
In the background, however, we stayed connected, plotting our return and investing in our new branding.
In the words of the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, "a wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings." It’s a lesson we’re reflecting on a lot these days, which brings us to today!
We’re launching season three with a renewed sense of energy and perspective.
This season, expect the same enthusiastic podcast chats filled with wisdom, radiance and humor – all the foundational ingredients to our authentic “secret sauce.” We’ll be delivering fresh episodes every other week in addition to connecting with you here – via the blog – on the opposite weeks. We envision the blog being an ever evolving platform with a mix of ingredients like seasonal reflections, sharing insights, wellbeing influences and sparks of creative inspiration.
In addition to new episodes and new blog posts, there’s SO MUCH to look forward to:
Unveiling our new Biscuits & Sunshine branding created by the talented Camilla Carpenter of Supersoft Studio
Launching our first e-book, Creating a Life that Makes Your Feel Alive!
Opening The Biscuits & Sunshine merchandise store
Organizing in-person and online community gatherings

Callie & Landra
