Babies vs Bar Crawls: How to Maintain Friendships in Different Life Stages May 24, 2022

In the penultimate episode of Fingers Crossed, Sierra & Kristee discuss a relevant topic that is on the minds of many mid-twenty somethings: maintaining friendships in different life stages. What do you do when three of your friends are married with babies and you're just re-entering the dating scene? What if you're busy in a 9-5 career and your friends are all working part time with tons of free time? Do you settle down? Buy a house? Work hard for that career promotion? Run away and work on a boat in Australia? Your 20s can make it really hard to relate to your friends sometimes, but the gals of Fingers Crossed are here to help.

You're Cooler Than You Think: How to Grow Your Identity Capital & Invest In Yourself Apr 26, 2022

In today's episode of Fingers Crossed, Kristee and Sierra discuss the concept of Identity Capital. Originally brought to their attention by Meg Jay in The Defining Decade, Identity Capital is the concept that one's unique talents, experiences, achievements and background create a personal portfolio that makes one a valuable and well-rounded individual inside & outside the workplace.

Your twenties are guided by how heavily you invest in your identity capital—and it is always worth the time to invest in yourself. Join K&S as they share listener stories, article tidbits, and their own personal experiences about building their identity capital and personal resumé.

The "Old me" vs. Who I want to be: Why do we always want to reinvent ourselves? Jul 06, 2021

Do you feel like a different person from who you were 5 years ago? 5 months ago? Even 5 minutes ago? Ever hopped on the midnight train going anywhere? Hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream and a cardigan? In our society and pop culture, we're surrounded by romanticized stories of people leaving behind their old lives in search of who they dream to be. So today, Kristee and Sierra seek out the answer to an age-old question: why do we always want to reinvent ourselves? What types of motivations do we have to do this? And how can we work on ourselves in a realistic way that will last without leaving behind everything that makes us who we are?

Conceal, Don't Feel: Fighting Toxic Positivity Feb 23, 2021

The cold never bothered us anyway, but toxic positivity has. Have you ever poured your heart out to someone and have to fight the urge to punch them when their only response is "Cheer up! Everything happens for reason." That may be because you were hit with some positivity that was toxic, aka invalidating your feelings and real issues. Kristee and Sierra are diving into the discussion of positivity gone wrong, when people with good intentions don't realize they're doing it, and trying to define where the line between "healthy" and "toxic" positivity lies. We've all been there, whether we were on the receiving end or may have been unknowingly perpetuating toxic positivity ourselves, but hopefully this discussion can give some perspective on how we can all be better friends and listeners by avoiding toxic positivity where we can in the future. Cheers!
