How To Grow Through What You Go Through: The Power of Post-Traumatic Growth Nov 15, 2023

Show notes

There’s a powerful quote that says, “A bad day for the ego is a great day for the soul.“ That one line has become a mantra for us, a reminder that some of the shittiest things we go through can create quantum leaps of growth and resilience. Think of that shit as fertilizer, because we grow through what we go through.

So today we’re chatting about the psychological discovery of post-traumatic growth, and how some of the challenges we’ve faced in our lives changed and redirected us for the better.

Tune in as we talk about:

What’s post-traumatic growth, and how can it help us process hard times?
The framework of reinforcing post-traumatic growth
Disrupting our core belief systems after a traumatic event
Disclosure and the importance of sharing
Our struggles with binge-drinking and job loss
Reclaiming your narrative and writing your own story

Teach Me How To Feel Less Lonely And Embrace Alone Time | Re-Release Nov 08, 2023

Show notes

Today's episode is a re-release from season one, because honestly, humans seem to be feeling lonelier and more disconnected than ever. As two 30-somethings in totally different places and life stages, we've each dealt with our own feelings of deep loneliness and isolation over the last few years. But being alone and being lonely are two very different things, and we’ve learned that getting comfortable spending time on your own can be the ultimate game-changer for your health, happiness and relationships.

It all starts with reframing our idea of being alone. After all, personal time is a luxury in our busy lives, and making space to relax, reflect or get creative in solitude has amazing positive outcomes. Even if you thrive off social connection (we see you, extroverts!), finding fulfillment on your own is essential. So, this week we’re exploring how to combat loneliness and enjoy being alone!

Tune in as we chat about:

Why people are feeling lonelier than ever
How alone time can help you learn about yourself
The importance of finding personal hobbies
The real reason those “mental health walks” do wonders
The power of micro-connections and how to make them
Ways to be part of a community
Redefining your narrative and shifting your mindset
The mental health benefits of giving back
How to increase your productivity during alone time

We hope this episode helps you feel a little less lonely and embrace the beauty of being with yourself!

Teach Me How To Quit People-Pleasing & Create Honest Relationships, with Psychotherapist Kristina Virro Nov 01, 2023

Show notes

As born-and-raised (but recovering!) people pleasers, we have experienced first-hand how this habit can contribute to burnout, resentment, getting taken advantage of, and appeasing people who don’t respect our boundaries. But it’s time to break the cycle, because the key to happiness and success isn’t trying to please everyone… that’s actually the key to failure.

So we called in the expert, Kristina Virro. Kristina is a Registered Psychotherapist and Holistic Nutritionist, who is dedicated to reducing stigma around mental health and helping people learn effective strategies to feel less stuck and more empowered. She provides psychotherapy and nutritional counselling at her wellness clinic, Fresh Insight, and she has shared her expertise with major outlets like CP24, Canadian Living, and Global News Live. You might have seen her on social media, where she’s amassed over 100,000 followers on TikTok for her no-bullshit real talk about therapy and mental health.

Tune in as we chat about:

The psychological root of people-pleasing
The red flags to look out for if you have people-pleasing tendencies
The danger of prioritizing being liked over everything
How it affects communication — especially at work
How these behaviours impact your relationships
Understanding the fight, flight, freeze and fawn responses
Getting comfortable with letting people down
Establishing honest boundaries (without being an asshole)

The Quickie: How To Craft The Perfect Elevator Pitch To Level Up Your Networking Oct 25, 2023

Show notes

We live in a pretty unforgiving world: According to research, people will form a solid impression of who you are within the first seven seconds of meeting you, and in less than a second they can start to determine traits like trustworthiness. The best way to guarantee a good first impression? A tried-and-tested elevator pitch.

Whether you realize it or not, you’ve given someone an elevator pitch about yourself at some point in your career. Or maybe even on a date. But if you’re not intentional about it, you’re missing out on opportunities.

A solid elevator pitch is key for networking, pitching yourself or your business, and speaking confidently about yourself in social situations. So in today’s episode, we’re tackling the best practices you need to capture your best self, and pitch what you do with confidence in any networking situation.

Tune in as we chat about:

The purpose and use cases for a good elevator pitch
Gill’s elevator pitch crisis — and how everything changed when she nailed it
Using the four “C”s to frame what you do and who you are
The importance of focusing on what you’re building towards
Confident body language tips
How Cailyn is framing her industry pivot
How your mindset determines a successful pitch

ICYMI, A Bonus Rant: Screw Expectations And Comparison, Live On Your Own Timelines Oct 23, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to today’s ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing tip from one of our episodes that you might have missed.

Welcome to your late 20s/early 30s, where no one knows WTF they’re doing, and everyone is in a wildly different life stage. One friend is having a baby, while the other is newly single. One is a successful serial entrepreneur, while the other quit their job to travel the world. There’s no right way to adult, but it sure is easy to compare our timelines to what everyone else is doing… even if that’s not exactly what we want.

We’re throwing it to a bonus mini-episode/motivational rant/rallying cry for all those feeling pressure to adhere to societal milestones and timelines. This is your reminder to live life on your own terms, and to take each leap when you’re actually ready for it.

Tune in as we chat about:

Countering our inner critic with empathy
Tweaking our language to be more confident
Using cognitive reframing to shift out of negative thoughts
Fighting negative self-talk with facts
Rethinking our idea of failure
Calling out your loved ones on their negative self-talk
Positive affirmations and helpful mantras
