096 - Compassion for procrastination Aug 05, 2021

Show notes

We. Are. BACK! Did you miss us?? We missed you! After a month off, we are back in the podcast-saddles and excited to share all our ramblings with you.

In this week’s episode, we go over a mindset shift we’ve had about procrastination and what we’ve learned about having more compassion for it.

We also dive into five, six, maybe ten (??) tips about procrastinating less. These are simply things that have worked for us and we’re not saying they will work for everyone. Take anyone’s advice with a grain of salt, folks!

095 - Traveling in 2022 (Part 4 - Our biggest fears + Q&A) Jul 01, 2021

Show notes

This will wrap up our 4-part “Zooks Travel Full-Time in 2022” impromptu series! We hope you enjoyed it and in this episode, we answer some questions from IG, our Slack Community, and a few from some Jason Z guy. LOL.

🤔 What’s the #1 thing we’re afraid of for our 2022 travels?

🤔 What are the 3 must-have items we’re packing and how are we deciding what to pack and not pack?

🤔 Are we selling all of our stuff before we leave and how will that work?

🤔 Plane, train, bus, rental car? Rate them from worst to best. (Heads-up: This took a bit of a turn and we got super vulnerable about a previous travel hiccup.)

Those questions and more are discussed in this episode before we take a 4-week break from the podcast and then return with business-focused content (on August 5). We’ll still be sharing travel-planning content in future episodes, don’t you worry!

Movies: Taken and Weekend At Bernie’s (not the sequel, which we thought we were watching 😂).

094 - Traveling in 2022 (Part 3 - We're making decisions) Jun 24, 2021

Show notes

Well, we made a decision! 😂 We are NOT going to create an entirely separate brand to share our 2022 travels. Just because you CAN do something, doesn’t mean you SHOULD. That’s the advice we’d give someone else so we’re taking it ourselves.

In this episode, we walk through our content strategy to document and share our 2022 travel plans, including how we think it ties in as marketing for our WAIM Unlimited program.

There was also a really perfect opportunity that popped up with AirBnb (“Live Anywhere”) and we talk about applying for that. We are NOT expecting to win but it’s fun to think about.

And finally, we talk about our 🤓 Notion-Nerdiness 🤓 as we start to get really detailed about our plans for packing, all items we’ll need to purchase (and sell), and a bunch of other fun Notion stuff.

Movies: We talk about our Saturday Submarine Fail and then the two movies we did watch, Breach and Jumper.

093 - Traveling in 2022 (Part 2 - Will we create a business?) Jun 17, 2021

Show notes

In this week’s episode, we chat about what we think our slow travel lives will look like on a week-by-week basis.

Then, we dive in on a discussion about creating a brand new business (alias: Zook Travel Emporium) where we’d be writing travel blogs, filming travel videos, and running travel social accounts.

We’re sharing the “messy middle” of those plans and aren’t even sure where we ended up 😂.

Hope you enjoy the episode and if you want more travel-planning content, shoot us an email at hello@wanderingaimfully.com and let us know!

Movies: Stay tuned for our failed Submarine Saturday recap next episode!

092 - Traveling for a year in 2022 (Part 1 - How will we do it?) Jun 10, 2021

Show notes

Hello friends! This week, continuing our “fun in the summer” podcast series, we decided to have our first official meeting for our upcoming 2022 year of traveling - WOW.

We share the plans as they sit right now on this episode including our slow travel mindset and figuring out where the heck to even start (we think we figured it out while recording, listen for the 🤝 moment!)

We have 6 months until our planned departure date (January 3, 2022). What goes into a big life adventure like this? Tune in to find out.

091 - 10 thought-provoking questions Jun 03, 2021

Show notes

The next few weeks of our podcast will shift from business and focus more on life, silliness, and just all-around fun (we hope!) as we partake in our summer sabbatical.

In this episode, we answered 10 thought-provoking questions and they range from deep and meaningful to utterly ridiculous. A great metaphor for the two of us as human beings, don’t you think??

Here are the 10 questions if you want to answer them yourself, with your spouse, or with a friend:

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
What do you wish you’d spent more time doing five years ago?
Who do you sometimes compare yourself to?
How have bodily functions evolved in your relationship?
If you could instill one piece of advice in a newborn baby’s mind, what advice would you give?
What are the 3 most defining moments in your life thus far?
Would you rather own a dragon or be a dragon?
What small act of kindness were you once shown that you will never forget?
If you had to do anything as a job other than what you do right now, what would you do?
What’s the best part of growing older?

Movies: Skyfire (great disaster flick!) and Inside (Bo Burnham’s new Netflix special)

090 - Summer sabbatical (and why you need a break) May 27, 2021

Show notes

From our extensive experience with burnout, taking time off BEFORE you burn out is a crucial move. But, we only got to that place through trial and error as we’re pretty sure you can relate.

This summer we’re going to be taking two months off for a summer sabbatical and we wanted to share how we got to a place where that was possible. We also go over our history of not taking breaks and how that’s changed over the years.

We hope this episode convinces you to take more time off from work (however YOU can). What all the doing with doing if the doing doesn’t allow us to stop doing every once in a while 😉.

Movies: Blade Runner (kind of) and Firewall. #HarrisonFord

089 - In the midst of anxiety May 20, 2021

Show notes

We try to keep our podcast light-hearted but we’re also two human beings that deal with the ups and downs of life. One of those downs is Caroline’s anxiety which has flared up recently. We wanted to turn on our mics and have an honest conversation of what being in the middle of dealing with a mental health condition is like.

This is not the, “I had anxiety and everything is fine now” episode. This is a transparent conversation about having anxiety and feeling its difficult effects on a day-to-day basis right now.

If you struggle with mental or chronic health issues we want you to know you are seen, heard, and we empathize with what you are going through. If you need to seek additional medical help, please don’t feel any shame or guilt in doing that. Our mental health should be our #1 priority in our lives. ❤️

088 - FOMO, NO MO! May 13, 2021

Show notes

Fear of missing out (FOMO) is real. In this episode, we want to share our mindset shift of FOMO NOMO. Share that phrase with your friends, they’ll think you’re suuuuuuuuuuper cool.

When it comes to running your business, there’s FOMO around every corner. We share our thoughts and how we’ve dealt with and continue to deal with FOMO.

We also lightly chat about NFTs and cryptocurrency, but not too much! 😂

Movies discussed: Event Horizon and 2021

087 - How we argue May 06, 2021

Show notes

We hope this episode gives you a real look into a couple and how to navigate tough situations and conversations.

We want to be 100% clear: We are NOT licensed therapists or mental health experts. We don’t claim to be, and any “advice” you might hear in this podcast is just our personal experience (and should be taken with a big-ole-grain-of-salt!)
