Kiddos? YES! Choosing to have Children with friend of the pod Jessie, host of The Daily Knightley Podcast Mar 18, 2021

Kiddos? YES!

This month is exactly the opposite of what we talked about last month: choosing to have kids. We discuss the motivations behind having kids, what pregnancy is like, and what actually, ya know, taking care of kids after they are born is like.

Again, there is no wrong answer! We just wanted to have both perspectives on the podcast in case you also had questions. We also want to thank our friend Jessie for being open and honest with us - you can find her on The Daily Knightley podcast: http://thedailyknightley.com/

Kiddos? NO! Childless by Choice with friend of the pod Tessa Swehla Feb 17, 2021

Do you want kids?

Loaded question, I know. There's a lot that goes into this decision, and sometimes not knowing right now is okay too. Colby always knew he wanted to have kids, Tessa and Martha are pretty firmly in the "no" camp. There is no wrong answer, just you know, societal pressure arond doing the right thing.

Next month, we'll take a different perspective and hear from someone who DOES have kids and would like more. In the mean time, you can find us over at The Four Nations Report (www.fournationsreport.com)

GENDER is GREAT: A Discussion About Gender in Media with guest Dr. Lauren Bre! Sep 16, 2020

Ever notice how there aren't many nonbinary or trans characters in media?

We did. But, maybe you haven't yet - and that's okay! We talk about diversity in media and how representation is important. And it's not just trans and nonbinary folks, there's also an imbalance of men and women in movies and tv shows. We've come a long way, but there is still work to be done.

GROWING UP MONTH: The one where Martha and Colby talk about millennial burnout Oct 23, 2019

In early 2019, Buzzfeed News posted an article about millennial burnout.

You can read it here: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/annehelenpetersen/millennials-burnout-generation-debt-work

But basically, as millennials, we are trained to become as efficient as possible. Which usually translates into fitting as much work as possible into our already busy days. When we fit all that work in without breaks it can be so freaking hard to keep going. It feels like you can't even do the most simple tasks, because you've been going for longer than you're supposed to.

We talk about all this, and how we can conquer burnout (or at least, become more aware). Spoiler alert: we're not sure you can.

GROWING UP MONTH: The one where Martha and Colby ask an adult all their questions about growing up Oct 16, 2019

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be an adult?

Not just a 25 year old adult. Like, someone who has lived through life and come out on the other side (relatively) unscathed. We did, and that's why we wanted to interview our friend Stephen for more information on what we have to look forward to.

In this episode, we talk about:

What we have to look forward to in life
Important lessons to be learned as you grow up
Why adulthood isn't easy
And more!

LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX: How to communicate with your partner to have better sex with host of the Good Girls Talk About Sex podcast, Leah Carey! Sep 04, 2019

Is sex my favorite thing to talk about? We'll never know.

Leah Carey became a sexual communication coach when she realized she needed to teach what she wanted to learn. She realized that "talking about things in advance can either set me up for great experiences or prevent me from getting down with the wrong person."

And we are so lucky to have her be teaching us this week on this important topic. No one gives us roadmaps about having sex or being in a relationship. Leah wanted to close that gap by helping people communicate in something that is really hard to do (SEX!).

That's how we got talking about her life and mine - anything from life, love, relationships, family, and everything in between. I enjoyed her philosophical take on things, and I hope you do, too.

CREATE YOUR FUTURE or STAY AT A JOB YOU HATE? The choice is yours! with Lauren Armstrong of Created Future Academy Aug 21, 2019

If you're like me, you have a 9 to 5 job. Maybe you sometimes catch yourself on Twitter or Reddit for a little too long and then suddenly wonder how it got to be 2 pm and you haven't done any work all day?

Yeah, me neither....

Lauren was just like us - she worked at a fancy job in Houston, TX that paid a lot but that she hated. She realized that everyone was overworked, super tired, and not following their dreams. Lauren realized that it was possible to have a job you love, she just had to create it first.

Created Future Academy allows Lauren to help guide women during this transition from corporate to CEO as well as helping them get clear on the steps they actually need from start to finish to create their online business. From being trapped in a cage of their own success to living their freest, fullest version of their lives.

HOW TO SET YOURSELF UP FOR SUCCESS: Tips for personal development and mindset mastery with Lucy Smith Aug 14, 2019

In this episode of the podcast, I speak with Lucy Smith all the way from the UK! We chat a lot about what it takes to be successful, and what you need to do to "manage your mind" to overcome self-dobut and any worries or confidence issues you may have.

And trust me - I've been there. I have definitely felt low in confidence and have had plenty of self-doubt. Learning about mindset and making sure I could practice self-care was HUGE for me in overcoming anxiety and setting myself up for success.

Lucy Smith is a Personal Development Mentor after her own struggles with anxiety, fears and confidence. Lucy found her way out of this and continues to manage it using personal development, self-care, a morning and evening routine. After this life changing transformation it became her mission in life to support as many people as possible with their own struggles through personal development. Lucy blogs and has a membership site on Succeed Now and has created a resource library for children at Cheerful Children.

Meet my new co-host, COLBY! Aug 07, 2019

Please give a warm welcome to Colby for his first episode as a co-host! I'm so excited to have a co-host for this next chapter of the podcast. As a reminder, there will still be a couple more weeks of interviews, I just wanted to introduce Colby first before the show transitions into its new phase.

Colby and I met online in a Slack community for a podcast we both listen to. Listeners will remember that same podcast caused me to spontaneously book a ticket to Nashville and go to Con of Thrones.

I knew I liked Colby when I realized he was younger than me and even more enthusiastic about memes than I was. He's a podcast veteran of his own show, Never Made Varsity, so I also knew that he knew what he was doing (even though he might tell you differently).

I'm so excited to have Colby on my team going forward! It will be the same podcast, just a slightly different format. There is still a lot of shit you need to know in the world, and we will be making sure that we cover all of it to the best of our abilities.

If you have any suggestions on what we should talk about, feel free to let us know! As a reminder, there are still a couple of interviews left. You'll hear Colby again in September.

A Conversation on Women's Health and Abortion with Amanda Kingsley Jul 24, 2019

CONTENT WARNING
This episode contains frank discussion of abortion. Political commentary will not be tolerated.

This episode was such an interesting one to edit and listen to because abortion is not something I have dealt with. However, I know that many women have and on Sh-t You Need to Know, I like to include perspectives from all sorts of people. Amanda and I have a great conversation how why she decided to abort, how it has affected her life now, and what she wishes people would know about her decision. We also talk about how to talk to people about abortion, very #meta, I know.

Amanda Kingsley is a life coach that aims to show women their superpowers. But before all that, she attended midwifery school and practiced as a doula for 3 years! Amanada has been committed to women's health and health issues since day 1, and uses her experiences to help guide women through their feelings surrounding abortion.

Personal Finance for Couples: Let's talk about MONEY! With financial educator Grace Pomroy Jul 03, 2019

Nobody LIKES looking at finances. Least of all, me. And finances when you're in a relationship??? Forget about it.

Our guest today, Grace Pomroy, makes it fun and interesting to talk about finances. She breaks it up into steps that make it seem not so scary and definitely do-able. She also gives great tips for BUDGETING - everyone's favorite million dollar word. Take a listen (to me AND your partner), and ya just might learn something.

Grace Duddy Pomroy (aka "The Classy Frugalist") is a financial educator, blogger, and coach. She specializes in creating down-to-earth content that helps finance come alive for people. She's learned from her own experience working with a financial coach that being frugal doesn't mean you have to be cheap.

HOW TO SPEAK UP: Using your voice as a force for good at work and in life, featuring Jessica Guzik Jun 19, 2019

Full TED Talk on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLLXHDsyz5M

Martha Pietruszewski is a thinker, writer, and motivated by great ideas. Martha never set out to be an entrepreneur, she just wanted to make the world a better place.

Life is so beautiful. So, how can we sit down, shut up, and appreciate it more? Eva Payne comes through with some hot tips this week in the most relatable episode yet.

Eva's message is so relatable to me because she says that you need to find 51% joy in a day. Even on my worst days, there are things that I can be thankful for and Eva reminds me that that is so dang true. Every hard moment is worth it, and it'll all work out.

Her acronyms: FLOW - Following Life's Opportunities Wholeheartedly and LOVE - Live Open Value Everything

ABOUT EVA:
At heart, Eva is a pioneer and teacher. She has spent 20 years cultivating leadership and self-advocacy skills in thousands of participants through a nonprofit she began while in college and has been recognized for this work through such awards as, Volvo For Life Finalist, L’Oreal Women of Worth, DirecTV Hometown Hero, and featured in Family Circle Magazine and on The Big Ten Network, And E!.

The Mary Jane Experience: Talking with Strawberry Sequoia about all things CANNABIS, including - what's the deal with this CBD stuff? May 22, 2019

My favorite memory of my parents is when I first realized they had smoked weed when they were younger. I thought it was SO INCRIMINATING but I now realize, they were just having some fun. This podcast is for you if you are interested in Cannabis 101 and what you need to know about smoking/vaping/eating the dopest dope.

Strawberry Sequoia first tried cannabis in the woods behind her high school while skipping 3rd period. Her mother introduced her to edibles a few months later. A less frequent user she uses weed for her yoga practice, for creativity, sometimes for depression, and generally just for a good time.

Personal Finance for Millennials: How to act like an adult and save money, too! Featuring Ian Nohner - CFP and financial coach May 15, 2019

Debt. Such an ugly, four-letter word. I have it, your friends probably have some, and your parents probably do too. Debt is everywhere, but no one talks about it!

That's why I brought on Ian, a Certified Financial Planner and financial coach on the show. We talk about debt, but we also talk about why you would need life insurance and how to take advantage of your healthcare savings accounts. Basically, how to be an adult and act like one too!

On a personal note, debt was a really scary thing for me. I thought I could control myself, but my credit cards knew better. If you or someone you know is struggling with crushing debt - you are certainly not alone!

Exploring BODY POSITIVITY through BURLESQUE: How being on stage can help you be confident in life and in love, featuring Queenie von Curves May 08, 2019

Body confidence is something I have struggled with a lot in recent years. I used to be really quite skinny, then medication and stress caused me to gain more weight than I knew how to deal with. For the last few years it's been an on again off again struggle with my body image and what people potray as "skinny" and "healthy."

Thanks to Queenie for showing me that women with curves can look pretty darn great, and still have the level of confidence that a supermodel has when they walk down the runway.

LIFE WITH ANXIETY as a millennial: How it started, how it can be managed, and what life looks like now May 01, 2019

When I was 7 I remember a day when the sun was shining, I was reading a new book, and my dad was building a treehouse. But - I felt miserable. Nothing I did that day made me feel better. I didn't know why it was happening or what these emotions were. I got some new stationery after my mom took me to the dollar store that made me feel a little bit better, but the feeling didn't disappear until I went to bed that night.

Years later, I realized it was called ANXIETY. Anxiety is when you find it difficult to control your worrying about things. For me, it manifests when I'm going through a new life transformation (ie switching jobs, graduating college) and it feels like a dark cloud.

Through medication management, behavioral therapy, and meditation - I live a mostly anxiety free life. Unfortunately, it pops up now and again with stressful things like debt and relationships and my job. It's been bad recently, but I am taking the steps to manage it! I encourage you to find the help you need when you are ready. Some resources I like:

Basically, you take a picture of a beautiful thing for 30 days and see what your brain starts to notice. Tag me on instagram at @realmarthariley if you do the challenge - I want to see the results!

Real Talk about REAL ESTATE Mar 14, 2019

DJ Friesch is a licensed real estate agent with The Jay Schmidt Group in Milwaukee. After a stint in the corporate world (that's how we met!) he obtained his license and has been slinging houses ever since. In this episode we talk about what you need to know before going into house buying mode as well as some general rule of thumb principles to follow. At the end of the episode, I decided it would be a super good idea to ask him real estate pickup lines??? So stay tuned for that...I guess?
