4. How to Embrace Femininity: Sports Talk, Fashion & Society being wrong again Oct 01, 2021

Show notes

In today’s episode Devin and Morgan discuss the textbook definition of femininity, because there seems to be a discrepancy amongst society. According to Oxford dictionary femininity is defined as [uncountable] the fact of being a woman, the qualities that are considered to be typical of women. So unlike the presentation social media and society highlights, femininity is not something one can increase through daily meditations, affirmations, training, or tips. Femininity is not something you increase, because Oxford tells us it is not quantifiable. Tune in to hear the journey these ladies went through to learn how to embrace their femininity!

3. How to Overcome Fears: Starting a Podcast, Small Business, and Dream Job Sep 24, 2021

Show notes

In today’s episode Devin and Morgan interviewed the host of the Liquor Talk Podcast, Victor Jones. Humans can literally be afraid, have fear, be scared or nervous about so many things but in this episode we tackled fear of business failure. It is important to remember that failure is part of success, so we can’t seek out success while being fearful of failure. Fear can increase with a project you’re really excited about or even a dream job, but we have to learn to turn the fear and self doubt into excitement about what is to come. Tune in to learn how to transform your fear into an asset and not a liability.
