Money, Budgets, and Financial Freedom w/ Brady Kirkpatrick Oct 08, 2021

Show notes

We are joined by Ceara’s older brother, Brady Kirkpatrick. Brady is a Certified Financial Planner and shares all kinds of valuable money advice with us in a fun, casual way. We know learning more about finances can be really overwhelming so we wanted to have someone on the podcast who is very personal, young, and makes the information digestible.

There can be a lot of negative thoughts around money but once you let go of that fear, you will find that financial freedom is much more attainable. A quote that really resonates with us is, “live poor now so that you can live rich later.” So much of today’s culture encourages impulse shopping, overspending, and not planning for the future. Budgeting, sacrifices, and resisting temptation aren’t really shown on Instagram but we’re here to break down that wall.

Brady’s last takeaways are - it’s never too late to get started, create a plan that works with your value system, stick with it, review your finances regularly and live by the 50/30/20 rule.

Mental Health and Mindset Shifts with Cyd B Oct 01, 2021

Show notes

We had the opportunity to chat with a super special guest, Cyd B, and let us tell you guys, this has easily become one of our favorite conversations. Cyd is such a kind soul with an incredible work ethic and mission for her business, and we're so excited for you to get to know her in this episode.

Cydney Barber is the founder of Into Light, a sustainable emotion-based clothing company. We sat down with Cyd in person to explore multiple topics in the mental and physical health sphere - eating plant-based, 75 hard, matcha (obviously) boundaries, self-reflection, evaluating relationships, asking for help, meditation, breathwork, routines, hormones, dealing with your emotions, and more.

She is also the co-host of The Far Out Podcast with Megan Baudry where they explore concepts, ideas, and perspectives that are out there, so it was great to have Cyd on to give our listener’s a taste of her world.

Road Tripping 101: Our Best Tips + Funny Stories Sep 24, 2021

Show notes

Another travel episode for you! This time, we dive deep into road trips - specifically in the US. We are fortunate that both of our families took lots of trips by car throughout our childhoods so we’ve had the opportunity to visit many states and remote destinations.

We just got back from our own road trips as well so we thought we’d share more details about our routes, rental cars, packing, sleeping in the car, camping, and general advice around the subject. We love that traveling by car allows a flexible itinerary, the freedom to stop at any destination you desire, and is a great option for budget travelers.

This episode definitely unlocked some nostalgia and trips down memory lane. We hope it inspires you to take a big or small road trip soon as there is so much to explore around you, no matter where you live!

Traveling the World (While Working a Full-Time Job) w/ Corie Fay Sep 17, 2021

Show notes

We are super honored to have Corie Fay as today’s guest. At the age of 27, Corie is a full-time consultant (which she'll explain what that actually means). Boston homeowner, and a girl who takes nearly every opportunity she can to travel. With 40+ countries on her resume, we were excited to ask her how she balances working a 9-5 (*8am-8pm*) while jetting around the globe.

Corie shares adulting advice, financial tips, travel stories, and how she keeps her calendar full. Her content has been gaining momentum as she is the master of the tripod self-photography game.

Before Corie joins, Ceara and Allison catch up on their recent trips. Allison is in Colorado with her boyfriend. Ceara just finished shooting in the Northeast with Beautiful Destinations and is heading to Maine. The girls are in a silly mood from some chaotic travel situations and share a lot of laughs this week.

Are You Burned Out?! Sep 10, 2021

Show notes

In today’s age of hustle culture, the grind, and working to live - we know how easy it is to participate in this mindset. As two high-achieving entrepreneurs, we’ve certainly learned the hard way that overextending yourself will lead to burnout.

You guys know that we love to challenge ourselves and have a lot on our plate but we are not here to romanticize grinding 24/7. It’s easy to think that putting in excessive hours is solely highly productive but it can eventually put your mental, emotional, and physical health at risk.

Allison and Ceara dive deep into what burnout is, its signs, and its side effects. Feelings of exhaustion, being trapped, spreading yourself too thin, cynical attitudes, counting down the minutes left in your shift, and detaching from the present moment are all common signs that we have noticed as a result of being burned out.

We offer a variety of solutions and ideas to help you navigate whatever area of your life that burnout could be happening. Burnout can also occur from relationships, friendships, school, sports, hobbies, traveling, or attempting to maintain a certain lifestyle. We hope this episode offers you support, new perspectives, and a mindset shift around feeling like you have to do it allll.

Travel Like Us Pt 2: Finding Travel Partners, Uncut Stories and Packing Tips Sep 03, 2021

Show notes

In our first Travel Like Us Episode 21, we talked about how we got started traveling, solo trips, where to stay, do’s and don’ts, and more. After that episode went live, we had listeners ask some follow-up questions and that they wanted us to share some funny travel stories! You guys know we love traveling and could talk about it all day every day, so we were stoked to record another episode about one of our greatest passions.

In Part 2, we talk about how to find good travel buddies and share some incidents where we personally took trips with people that killed the vibe so we want to help you avoid that. The last thing you want is to be in Paris (after saving and dreaming about the trip for years) with someone who is a nightmare in new environments. We share our advice about traveling when your partner has a totally different travel style than you do. Then end with all the ins and outs of packing - how to, how not to, best suitcases, lists, and more.

There are hilarious ~ travel gone wrong ~ moments that we included in this episode and let’s just say the flashbacks were scary lol.

Balance, Priorities and Saying No Aug 27, 2021

Show notes

With the fall semester starting back up, things are quickly getting busy again. More events, football games, class, homework, projects, and weddings. Fewer days basking in the sunshine. If this has you feeling a little squirmy, anxious, and overwhelmed - we got you.

This week, Allison and Ceara wanted to talk about how to find balance in the midst of what feels like chaos, how to prioritize everything being thrown your way, what saying no can look like and how implementing healthier routines can make your life so much easier. In our opinion, it’s a pretty insightful episode so grab your journals, and let’s get going on your goals and to-do lists! Procrastination is not your bestie and she isn’t getting a spot at the table anymore.
