Ep. 551: The Unnecessary Pressure of the Holidays Dec 18, 2024

The holiday season is just around the corner and with the holidays comes a lot of stress, expectations, and obligations. Fuck that. Just because someone said you “should” spend the holidays with your family (who you might not even like!) doesn’t mean you have to! If it takes away from your peace and joy, it doesn’t have to be a priority. You may end up having a few difficult conversations and you may end up breaking a few traditions, but there’s always time to make some of your own.

(This episode is a replay from November 2022.)

Ep. 550: Problems Are the Price of Growth Dec 13, 2024

We’ve been entrepreneurs for well over a decade now, and we know we have plenty of listeners with their own businesses or with entrepreneurial dreams, so we wanted to talk a little about the problems that come up in the course of doing business. It’s never fun when things go wrong, but struggle is sometimes the price we have to pay in order to meaningfully grow. You’ll never make everybody happy and you’ll grow resentful of your business if you even try, so it’s better to start viewing your problems as a sign of leveling up.

Problems in your business are normal [0:54]

Ep. 549: A Never-Ending Black Friday Dec 11, 2024

Is it just us, or is Black Friday out of control now? Less than 10 years ago, Black Friday was a one-day event where you’d slap a bitch at Walmart for taking the last flat-screen TV you wanted. Now, the entire month of November (and even into December!) we’re getting inundated with emails and texts and ads about every little thing you could ever dream of being on sale. We love buying things as much as the next person, but didn’t Black Friday start as a way to buy gifts for other people, and not ourselves? And aren’t you starting to feel suffocated by all this shit we keep buying?

Ep. 548: Work-Wife Jealousy Dec 06, 2024

Everyone’s been asking the same question for years: can men and women be friends? We see no problem with male-female friendships, but things feel a little more complicated when it comes to your partner’s work-wife (or work-husband for that matter). Being in a relationship doesn’t stop people from falling for someone else, but there are signs to look for and ways to communicate your feelings. Besides, do you really want to be in a relationship with someone who makes you feel insecure? And if all goes wrong, there’s always the option of kicking someone’s ass.

Ep. 547: Consumerism and the Complexities of Social Media Dec 04, 2024

Life is complicated and as much as we would love some straight-forward answers, it’s rare we get any. Lately we’ve been thinking about how our consumer habits might be harmful, and how to deal with trolls on social media in a healthy way. Whether it’s Amazon or Instagram, we can’t run from our lives and our society, so if we want to live the Best Life in this world we were given, we’re gonna need to practice some mindfulness in all the things we do.

Ep. 546: My Clients Are Stanky Nov 29, 2024

Somehow, this is a hygiene podcast now. It was never our intent but either we’ve jumped the shark, or our lives are filled with really stinky people. We were personal trainers once and one thing personal trainers run in to is lots of sweat, and lots of sweat tends to mean lots of stank. It may be an occupational hazard, but no one wants to work closely with someone who smells awful. Telling someone they smell bad is never fun, but it doesn’t have to ruin your relationship with them.

Ep. 545: The Prettier You Are, the More Money You Make Nov 27, 2024

Pretty privilege is undeniable, but did you know that the more attractive you are, the more money you’ll make too? It doesn’t seem fair since our levels of attractiveness are pretty much fixed, but there are ways we can play up what makes us hot. People are always going to judge us for the way we look, so should we be focusing on looking hotter, just to make a little more money?

“Don’t be embarrassed, but…” [2:48]

Bad lighting and long chin hairs [5:09]

Ep. 544: A Publicity Stunt That Worked Nov 22, 2024

Did you watch the big fight? You know, the one between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. We were never much fans of fighting, but it seems like the whole world was tuned in to watch Jake Paul get knocked out, but we didn’t get what we wanted. Some people claim it was rigged, while others claim it was unfair to watch a 27-year-old beat up an old man. Personally, we were just glad to get a night off from talking about the election.

Ep. 543: Money and Morality Nov 20, 2024

Money matters, whether you like it or not. We believe that women deserve to make just as much money—and more!—as any man, and that wanting money is not a moral failing. After our marriages ended, it was more important than ever to be able to provide for ourselves, and we want the same for everyone. At the same time, we want to spend our money exactly the way we want to, while still living abundantly and generously, and of course getting to live a fun life that we fucking love. Money isn’t good or bad, but having access to money sure brings you options.

Ep. 542: ChatGPT Saved My Relationship Nov 15, 2024

Danny has a secret weapon in her relationship, and it isn’t therapy. It’s ChatGPT. When things get heated, communicating is hard! Luckily there’s a perfectly neutral third party who has the brains to put together exactly what you want to say. It doesn’t even have to be romantic relationships—Chat can help with professional relationships and friendships, too. If you’re stuck looking for the right thing to say, maybe try asking ChatGPT what they would do.

Ep. 541: Leaving A Relationship for the Unknown Nov 13, 2024

Relationships are tricky, and it’s normal to wonder what life might look like outside of the one you’re in. Things get even stickier when the person you’re with is the only person you’ve ever known. We had a listener bravely share her doubts and confusion surrounding her relationship and her feelings of curiosity about what lies beyond and we wanted to give this more thought. We all only have one life, and spending it less than satisfied only hurts us down the road, but is there a clear answer in a situation like this? Can you trust yourself enough to jump into the unknown?

Ep. 540: How to Be Alone Nov 08, 2024

When you split from a long-term partner, there’s a real period of grief you’ll experience. No one ever goes into a marriage thinking that it’ll end, and when the unthinkable happens, it’s normal to feel lost and lonely—your world has been uprooted entirely, but life just keeps going on. So what do you do with your time when, for the first time in a long time, you find yourself single? We’ve been there, Bestie, and while it isn’t easy, there’s a lot of beauty that can be found in being on your own.

Ep. 539: Your Breath Smells Like Ass Nov 06, 2024

Y’all know that we want to stay as healthy (and as hot) as we can for as long as we can, and a large part of that is our dental health. We’ve been taking our oral health seriously lately, and clearly, you need to hear all about it. But really, there’s nothing more humiliating than having ass-breath and as your Official Internet Besties, we needed to share our best teeth tips and tricks so you never have to worry about it.

Ep. 538: Making Attempts to Age Backwards Nov 01, 2024

We’re feeling a little chaotic lately, so we’re recording a chaotic episode for you today. We talk a little about the possibility of doing a retreat with all of our Besties, looking forward to our dogs’ extracurricular activities, and our favorite (and by that we mean our least favorite) subject—aging. Somehow, we just keep getting older, but we’re doing everything we can to cut that shit out. Maybe we can’t prevent ourselves from physically getting older, but we can guarantee our brains and energies stay sharp.

Ep. 537: Can Women Be Happy If They Aren't In A Relationship? Oct 30, 2024

We know the internet is full of people who say shit they don’t even believe just to rile us up, but damn does it get to us sometimes. There’s a new wave of men out there that think women who are single over the age of 30 can’t be happy, and if you’re a woman, you know how bullshit that idea is. We LOVE men, but sometimes they really piss us off. Yes, being in a relationship can make us happy, but it’s not the only thing that makes us happy, and at this point we’s be just fine without boyfriends. The men we’re in relationships with add so much to our lives, but our relationships aren’t the only things that give our lives meaning. And besides, how sad would it be if they only thing keeping us with our partners was the fear of being alone. We’ve been single over 30, and we’ve been in relationships over 30, and the presence of a man didn’t make much of a difference in our contentment with life.

Ep. 536: Could You Fall In Love With Someone You're Not Attracted To? Oct 25, 2024

Looks aren’t everything—but that doesn’t mean they don’t matter. But are you a bad person for turning someone away for the way they look? It’s normal to have physical preferences in a romantic partner, and of course you’re never an asshole for having them, but in our experience, for the right person, you’ll be willing to make some sacrifices on physical appearance. We’d rather look for a few really great personal qualities and a less than perfect body than a Greek God with the personality of a piece of cardboard.

Ep. 535: The Anatomy of Betrayal with Lindsay Haverslew, The Betrayal Trauma Therapist Oct 23, 2024

We love talking about relationships on this show, and that interest started with the upheaval we faced when our respective marriages ended due to infidelity. What we never realized was that that experience was a traumatic event for us—the kind of event that permanently alters our mental and emotional states. Dealing with betrayal and infidelity felt so lonely and isolating almost a decade ago as we went through it, but now there are people like Lindsay Haverslew, aka The Betrayal Trauma Therapist, who are normalizing and educating people on the real traumas of betrayal, and helping other people like us rewrite our stories with happy endings. We were so excited to talk with her about all-things infidelity and betrayal, and how people in the thick of their heartbreak can begin a journey towards healing.

Ep. 534: Would You Date An Addict? Oct 18, 2024

Would you date someone with a history of addiction? We all have different feelings about addictions, and different histories with addictive substances. We don’t believe that struggling with addiction is a moral failing that makes you a bad person, but we do know that addictions impact relationships in big ways, and should be taken seriously. People who have addictions deserve love just like anyone else, but there are some parts of addiction that need to be taken into account when starting a relationship with someone.

Ep. 533: Should We Be Dressing Age-Appropriately? Oct 16, 2024

We have a love-hate relationships with Threads. It’s a fascinating app with some of the worst rage-bait and hot takes, but we fall for it every time. Recently we saw a post about the idea that women, after a certain age, need to be dressing “age appropriate.” If you know anything about us, you’ll know what comes next: fuck that shit. We’ve always been live-and-let-live kind of people, and especially when it comes to what someone wears, we find ourselves thinking, who even gives a shit? If you don’t want to wear a mini-skirt as an old lady, then don’t! But it’s not your job to judge whether someone is dressed “correctly” for their age.

Ep. 532: Who Is Qualified To Give Advice? Oct 11, 2024

Everyone “knows” the right things to do in life when their own lives are great. What if your life is falling apart—should you still be giving advice then? Or accepting advice from people who don’t live perfect lives? Giving and receiving advice is always a touchy subject, especially when it isn’t asked for. But even someone who has no idea what they’re doing can have some wisdom to impart, even if that wisdom is just “never do what I’m doing.”

Ep. 531: To Use Ads or Not To Use Ads? Oct 09, 2024

Once upon a time we used to think that people who used ads for their businesses or personal brands were somehow “cheating.” Now, we just wish we had started using them earlier. We all know the algorithm is unpredictable now and even when people follow us, we can’t guarantee that they’ll see our content. Not to mention the fact that if we want to scale our businesses in meaningful ways, we need to get in front of new eyes! Ads don’t have to be a get-rich-quick scam—when used the right way, they can get your content in front of the right eyes at the right time. We call that a win-win.

Ep. 530: Even The Most Confident People Can Have Insecurities Oct 04, 2024

We’ve done a lot of work to face our own insecurities, and for the most part, we’re very comfortable and confident with ourselves. Despite our best efforts, we still feel the sting of insecurity sometimes. Bodies, brains, businesses… it’s easy to compare. But insecurities aren’t objective truth, and when you own your own shit, there’s no space left to feel threatened. That’s the Best Life.

Ep. 529: Finding Abundance When Money is Scarce Oct 02, 2024

We are officially in a recession and it costs an arm and a leg each day, just to be alive. The idea of a recession alone can get people closing their wallets and preparing for the worst… but it doesn’t have to be that way. Abundance is possible no matter what the economy is looking like, and it all begins with our mindsets and choosing to invest in ourselves. There’s a lot of uncertainty in the world, but there’s one thing you can always rely on: yourself.

Scarcity begets scarcity [1:34]

Ep. 528: The Secret to Making Hard Decisions Sep 27, 2024

There are times in our lives when we have difficult decisions to make, but we’re unsure of the way forward. How can we know what the right thing to do is? What if we choose wrong and everything is ruined? The thing is, there’s no such thing as the “wrong” decision. The answers are rarely clear, and you may feel evenly split among your choices, but that doesn’t make any choice “right” or “wrong.” You just make a choice, trust yourself to handle the outcome, and come what may. Your future self always has your current self’s back.

Ep. 527: Is There A Right Time to Get Pushy on Sales Calls? Sep 25, 2024

Does selling have to be sleazy? Danny and Jill are big proponents of marketing and selling with integrity, and that includes not pushing someone to buy when it’s clearly not the right choice for them. But after some recent sales conversations, Danny has been left wondering if there’s a right time to push someone, especially when you know that you have the solution they’re looking for.

Ep. 526: The Science (and Art) of Functional Medicine with Erin Holt, aka The Funk'tional Nutritionist Sep 20, 2024

You may have heard of “functional” nutrition and medicine, but what the hell does that even mean, and why should you care? As Erin Holt, aka The Funk’tional Nutritionist, tells us, function medicine is about focusing on the root causes of illness, rather than simply treating symptoms. For so long, traditional medicine has been gate-keeping our health, so Erin has built a business helping us become active participants in our own health journeys, while also training other nutrition providers the importance and impact of functional nutrition. But Erin didn’t come here just to talk about nutrition, she’s also a bad-ass entrepreneur and shares her insights on navigating visibility, criticism, and the emotional aspects of entrepreneurship, emphasizing the need for mentorship and personal growth in the journey. She’s our favorite kind of person.

Ep. 525: Muscles and Movement's Impact on (Peri)Menopause with Dr. Stephanie Estima Sep 18, 2024

Getting older is mind-fuck after mind-fuck, but as we approach perimenopause and menopause, we’re sick of being told that everything has to suck from now on. We don’t accept the idea that all of a sudden we can never build muscle or that our hormones will prevent us from enjoying our lives, and luckily for us, people like Dr. Stephanie Estima exist. Today Jill and Dr. Stephanie are chatting everything to do with perimenopause, women’s bodies as we age, the importance of stress reduction, and valuing ourselves as much as we value the people in our lives. We all deserve to feel happy, healthy, and sexy as we age—Dr. Stephanie is on a mission to lead us there.

Ep. 524: The Pitfalls of People-Pleasing Sep 13, 2024

Lately, Danny has been taking more girls’ trips in an effort to maintain some individuality outside of her relationship. We love our partners, and we love nurturing them, but when your sole sense of self is tied to your partner and their needs, your own sense of self and your needs start getting ignored, and before you know it, resentment starts growing. We were raised to be people pleasers, and while we’re so great at making others happy, it’s a lot harder to bring that same level of care to ourselves. Ultimately, the only person in charge of how you feel is *you* and if you’re starting to resent your partner, family, friends, coworkers, or really anyone in your life, it’s up to you to make a change and learn to prioritize the things you need before you worry about everyone else.

Ep. 523: An Epidemic of Dishonesty in the Online Space Sep 11, 2024

We all know social media is full of smoke & mirrors but, like clockwork, we’re seeing a new disturbing trend: influencers sharing their “mindset transformations” without being upfront about how they’re actually transforming—with the help of weight loss drugs and other procedures. Bestie, you know we’re all for doing whatever makes you feel confident, no questions asked and no judgement, but the rules are different when you’re selling a transformation you got through other means. Maybe honesty doesn’t make you as much money online, but we’re gonna keep doing it our way.

Ep. 521: The Power of a Daily Meditation Practice Sep 04, 2024

Look, Bestie, we never want to say we’re better than you. Buuuuuuut Danny’s been meditating every single day for a month, so…. Kidding, of course, but these last 30+ days have been life changing for her. What started out as a years-long unfulfilled promise turned into curiosity, which turned into a real, daily practice that feels like the kind of peace you get while taking a Valium. No kidding. If you’ve ever been curious about meditating, let this be your time to start.

Ep. 520: Business Advice For Our Besties Aug 30, 2024

We’ve been entrepreneurs for a while now, and we’ve learned quite a few lessons. The highs are high, the lows are low, but through it all, we’ve pivoted and learned everything we could, and as a result, we’ve become better people. When it comes to business (and life) it all boils down to taking action in the face of paralysis and realizing that you can handle any problem that comes your way—as long as you truly believe you can.

Ep. 519: Is "Fake" Beauty In? Aug 28, 2024

With the rise in popularity of beauty influencers and reality shows like Love Island, there seems to be a new standard of beauty, and it requires a lot of effort (and frankly, money). Lash extensions, hair extensions, botox, fillers, and a full-face of makeup daily is becoming increasingly popular… but are men even into it? Do we have to get work done in order to look acceptable? And is this what will be beautiful forever, or is there any hope that the pendulum will swing the other way? Look, we’re no strangers to getting some work done here and there, but we don’t want to look entirely plastic—at least, not yet.

Ep. 518: Our Changing Relationship to Drinking Aug 23, 2024

In the aftermath of our divorces, we turned to alcohol maybe a little more than we’re proud of. But hey, you gotta do what you gotta do, and sometimes that means not always having the healthiest coping mechanisms. But since then, we’ve stopped going out at much, met our significant others, and developed new goals around longevity, so our drinking habits have changed. We have new boundaries around alcohol and we’re far more aware of the things that trigger us to drink. It wasn’t an overnight change, but rather, baby-steps taken over a few years, and now our relationship to alcohol is moderate and healthy. We’re thankful to wine for being there when we needed it, and now we can drink it in a way that we feel proud of.

Ep. 517: The Practice of Asking For Help Aug 21, 2024

Some people find doing everything on their own to be difficult, but for us, it’s asking for help that ends up being the harder task. Asking for help can feel like admitting to failure, not being good enough, or opening ourselves up for judgement and it feels safer to struggle alone than to admit we need assistance. But when we think about it, we LOVE to help the people we love, so maybe it’s true that people love to help us, too. It’s like the old proverb says, “If you want to go far, go together.” So lately, we’re trying out what it’s like to ask for help when we need it, and we hope you try it too, Bestie.

Ep. 516: Thinking Of Starting A Side Hustle? Aug 16, 2024

We’re really passionate about women making money for themselves. Obviously in an ideal world, women in partnerships don’t have to worry about being the primary financial provider if that’s not what they want to do, but having a way to financially support ourselves during our unexpected divorces was pivotal for us, and we want every women to have the option to take care of herself if she ever needs to. So if you’ve been thinking about starting an online side-hustle, for whatever reason, Jill is sharing some of her best tips for getting started.

Ep. 515: Having Access To Your Partner's Phone Password Aug 14, 2024

Would you break up with your partner if they didn’t allow you access to their cell phone? It certainly seems like a weird dealbreaker to have, but after going through infidelity at the hands of our exes, we can empathize. Private cell phones (and computers for that matter) are causing new problems that weren’t possible before, and while everyone deserves to have privacy, some motherfuckers out there are acting sneaky. Ultimately, it’s up to you and your partner, and what kind of privacy you feel is necessary in your relationship.

Ep. 514: Being "Realistic" About Our Dreams Aug 09, 2024

We consider ourselves dreamers and big believers in what’s possible, but we do believe in the utility of being “realistic.” At least, being realistic about what you’re willing to do, and realistic about the timeline you want to achieve things in. Every human achievement seemed impossible at one point, and to realize them, it took people who were bold enough to think of them and resilient enough to keep trying, even when things were difficult. It’s never a bad idea to be realistic with your goals, but don’t forget to dream big, too.

Being “realistic” about your dreams [1:32]

Vision without action [2:35]

All breakthroughs felt impossible at one point [6:04]

Managing your expectations of outcomes [7:34]

Anything is possible if you remove the timeline [12:00]

Setting process-related goals [15:24]

Ep. 513: Catching Up on Our Personal Lives Aug 07, 2024

It’s been a while since we recorded a personal episode of this podcast and we felt like it might be time to catch you up to date on what we’ve been doing, Bestie. The world is just as chaotic as ever, meanwhile we’ve been sick, vacationing, and grieving. You know, all the usual stuff. We promise not to be so distant and keep you more in the loop next time—or maybe we won’t. We haven’t decided yet.

Ep. 511: The Side Hustle You Didn't Know You Needed Jul 31, 2024

There’s a new kind of side hustle you can do from almost anywhere: user generated content. After Danny saw a friend making thousands a month for seemingly little output, she had to do some investigation. For the past few months, she’s been dabbling with UGC so she can give you to lowdown on the the truths, the lies, and what’s possible if you decide to try it for yourself.

Ep. 510: Minerals, Metabolism, and Mindset with Tina Haupert of Carrots N Cake Jul 26, 2024

There’s so much more to being healthy than just being “thin” and the closer we get to perimenopause and menopause, the more we realize that. Today Jill is chatting with Tina Haupert of Carrots N Cake about minerals, metabolism, mindset, and how important they are to maintaining our health. We always hear about macronutrients, but no one seems to care about micronutrients and the effect that a lack of minerals has on our energy levels and metabolism. Sometimes we can get so focused on being the smallest version of ourselves that we forget that our bodies need nourishment in order to function. We don’t know about you, but we care far more about feeling good lately, but when you feel good, looking good isn’t far behind.

Ep. 509: Knowing How Much Money is "Enough" Jul 24, 2024

We’re the kind of women who love to work and yes, we love to make money. There’s so much moralizing about money and whether having it makes someone good or bad, but to us, money is just a tool. So how do we know when we’ve made “enough” of it? American culture is so focused on always striving for more, and while that’s not necessarily a bad thing, at a certain point money stops helping us live the life we want, and isn’t that what really matters? We call this The Best Life podcast for a reason. Money is definitely an aspect of our Best Lives, but it’s not the whole picture.

What is “enough”? [2:21]

Starting with the end in mind [3:02]

Ask yourself why you want the things you want [6:48]

Reaching your highest potential [10:09]

More money doesn’t make you happier [13:39]

Money is a metric, but it’s not the only one [17:19]

Even if you had everything you wanted… then what? [18:18]

Morality around women and money [20:05]

If you have privilege, why not use it? [24:14]

More money won’t make you shallow (all the time) [26:20]

Ep. 508: A Partner's Permission to Change Your Looks Jul 19, 2024

We’re independent women and we don’t need men to validate us—but we do still care what our partners think. But there’s definitely a balance that needs to be struck between changing your appearance whenever you want and asking your partner for permission to change. We want to be attracted to them, and for them to be attracted to us, so it’s not a bad idea to check in before you go cutting off all your hair or getting a boob job. But at the end of the day, it is your body, and you should be able to look how you want, no permission necessary. The only permission you should care about is ours, and we say go for it, Bestie.

Asking permission before changing your looks [4:44]

Caring about your partner’s preferences [6:07]

Hair loss fucks with your self-esteem [10:41]

Making drastic changes without consulting your partner [13:19]

Changes behind your partner’s back [15:48]

Is your partner being controlling or is it normal? [17:33]

What if your partner changed their looks? [19:55]

The things we’re attracted to change over time [22:58]

Piercings we hate [25:43]

At the end of the day, do whatever you want [29:47]

Ep. 507: Is There An Age Limit to Starting an Online Business? Jul 17, 2024

Are you too old to start an online business? The short answer is yes. The long answer is of course not! Look, we don’t know about you, but we don’t want to take a 20-year-old’s advice about anything. The older we get, the less we care about impressing the younger generations or about looking like we once did. Now, we see bad-ass women in their 50’s, 60’s, and beyond and we want to be like them! There will always be someone looking for help from a person like you. The question is whether or not you’re brave enough to be ready for them.

Can you start at any age? [1:11]

Age grants credibility [3:32]

Make room for excellence [7:01]

Why are you trying to impress a 20 year old? [10:35]

Ep. 506: Why Am I Not "Over It" Yet? Jul 12, 2024

Shitty things happen in life, and don’t we know it. And we all know that healing isn’t linear, but haven’t you ever though to yourself, “Why aren’t I over this yet?” Emotional wounds cut deep, and they’re often compounded childhood wounds, which just means that it’ll take longer to “heal” than you might expect—or want. But Bestie, you’ve been through some hard shit. Us, too. And that’s something we should be proud of.

Why am I not over it yet? [2:55]

Giving grace to yourself after loss [5:24]

Deep-rooted emotional wounds [8:09]

It takes a long as it takes (until you deal with it) [12:50]

Ep. 505: 10 Ways to Cultivate Meaningful Friendships Jul 10, 2024

There’s a part of getting older that we never expected: it’s getting harder to maintain meaningful friendships.

Friendships are getting harder as we age [0:58]

Getting discerning on how we manage our friendships [3:59]

It takes more work than you think [6:57]

Are you talking shit on your friends? [10:16]

Have an actual interest in your friends [11:17]

Tell them what you love about them [12:57]

Let your friends help you when you need it [14:03]

Ep. 504: The Results of Our 30-Day Instagram Reels Challenge Jul 05, 2024

We’re fresh off a 30-Day Instagram Reels Challenge and our results were… nothing like we imagined they would be. When we started our businesses online, we never predicted that we’d somehow have to turn into videographers, too. So we figured we’d lean in to Reels and see how it changed our followings. Spoiler alert: it didn’t. Well, at least not in a glaringly obvious way. We improved our video editing, pissed some people off, and learned a lot about what actually grows a social media account. And thank god it’s over now.

Why we did a 30 day Reels Challenge [2:29]

Trying to mix your personal brand with what’s trending [8:06]

Ep. 502: The Man vs. Bear Debate Jun 28, 2024

If we were trapped in a forest, would we rather be stuck with a man or a bear? If you’re a woman, you already know our answer because yours is probably the same: the bear. It’s not that we hate men, but in our experiences, men can be scary, unkind, and unsafe. Every single woman we know has a story about some man acting creepy and aggressive. “No” is never enough of an answer for that type of guy, and there’s always that lingering fear that by telling him no, he’ll get angry and take it out on us. At least the bear will just eat us quickly and be done with it. Of course not every single man is a weirdo or a creep, but the chances of meeting a weirdo creep are high, and unlike bears, they give no warning sign before they decide to hurt us. We’ll take our chances with the bear.

Unwanted attention from men in public [1:20]

Why women choose the bear [5:33]

“No” should be a complete answer [7:51]

What men don’t understand about their own behavior [10:05]

The police can’t (and won’t) do anything [13:21]

Men aren’t listening to us [15:48]

A lack of respectful male role models [17:19]

Our advice to men [18:50]

Ep. 501: Inspiration Porn, Fake Vulnerability, and Performative Good Deeds Jun 26, 2024

Is it just us, or is everything on social media just engagement farming now? People are posting videos of them crying or doing “good deeds” because it get views, and it feels really phony and a little bit cringe. We’re all for vulnerability online, but there’s a difference in sharing vulnerably and pretending to be sad so that you get likes on Instagram. Don’t even get us started on the stealth-filming of real people living their lives… Is there a right way to share personal things online or are we all doomed to pretend this shit is real forever?

It takes time to heal, but it is possible [0:58]

Who takes the blame for infidelity? [4:12]

Grief seems to have been a recurring theme in our lives, but we know now that it’s not just us—everyone is grieving. Grief isn’t always caused by big tragedies and devastating events.

The world is silently grieving the versions of ourselves we’ve lost to the everyday pains in life. Today we brought back one of our favorite guests, Christina Rasmussen, an expert on grief, to talk about invisible loss and how we can work through our grief and get back to that essential, thriving self who is excited to wake up and change the world every day.

Ep. 497: Get Yourself A Conscious Man Jun 12, 2024

You know we’re into personal development here, but just because we are doesn’t mean that the men in our lives are, too. Everyone knows you can’t force someone to change, and making them become more self-aware or spiritually conscious is no exception—and maybe that’s a good thing. Our differences are something to be celebrated, not changed! So while it might be nice to have a man who’s just as interested in bettering himself as you are, make sure you’re appreciating you’re man for who he is.

Do you really want a “spiritually conscious” man? [4:11]

We’ve seen some shit and like it or not, we’re left a little jaded after all the pain, mistrust, and heartbreak. Once upon a time, we were innocent and optimistic about life, but now we just feel like bitter old hags. Anyone else? Okay, we might be a little overdramatic, but it feels like that sometimes! When your old self “dies,” it doesn’t feel possible to get that hopeful feeling back. Even if we can’t un-know the things we know now, we can at least let our pain fuel us into being better people.

Ep. 495: Building Your Money Machine with Mel Abraham Jun 05, 2024

Making money is an important part of life—you need it to live! But it’s far more important to build a money system that takes care of you, so that if at any time your ability to earn money goes away, you’re still set up to live a happy life. Today, we have Mel Abraham on the show to open a dialogue about money because, as Mel says, financial freedom is your birth right, and he’s on a mission to help you get there. Plenty of us dream about being wealthy, but there’s a difference in having wealth and having a rich life. With your money machine running, you’ll be able to have both.

Ep. 494: You're Giving Me the Ick May 31, 2024

There’s this phrase we’ve been seeing online lately, maybe you’ve heard of it. Women and girls keep talking about things men do that give them “the ick” and we’re a little lost. Some people are saying things as basic as putting cream in their coffee gives them the ick, and others are saying that even a man wearing a hat is ick-worthy. Is there anything a man can do that *doesn’t* give the ick? Or are we fundamentally misunderstanding the concept of what is and isn’t giving ick. There is one thing we can all agree on though: the people getting the ick over stupid hats are right. No one needs to see that.

Ep. 493: I Don't Wanna But I Have To May 29, 2024

There are a million tasks on our to-do lists that we need to get done—and we don’t want to do any of them. There are so many little things we should be doing on any given day and the mental load of trying to remember them all is fucking exhausting. We know we should be eating healthy, going on walks, going to the gym, getting dental work, filing taxes, doing laundry, responding to emails (and the list goes on…) but goddamn it, we don’t want to! If you’re feeling the same, maybe it’s time we all cut our losses and get some help for the things we know we need to do but don’t, no shame necessary.

Ep. 492: Who Gets Custody of the Dog? May 24, 2024

Custody battles can be ugly, especially over the one thing most important in our lives: our dogs. When a relationship ends, everything that was once “yours” as a couple needs to be divided up, including the pets. Sometimes it’s straightforward—if the dog likes you more, we say you get to keep it—but what if your ex still wants time with the dog? Can you split custody of a pet without it being a red flag for new partners? But most importantly, why do men have the audacity to think that they get to keep the dog when we’re the ones taking care of it? 💁🏻‍♀️

Ep. 491: What to Do When Your Partner is Hotter Than You May 22, 2024

Attractive people just get more out of life, whether we want it to be true or not. But when you’re dating someone who’s just really attractive, it means they get a lot of attention, and it’s not always a good thing—for them, or for you. But hey, even if your partner is the hotter one in the relationship, maybe you should be proud instead of insecure. After all, you’re the one they fell for, even if you are ugly (😜). Of course, you can always sabotage your partner’s looks, or even better, only date people who are slightly less hot than you. Or we guess there’s the healthy way to cope, by working on your own insecurities. But that seems less fun.

Ep. 490: Get A Life May 17, 2024

You need to get a life. No, really. We don’t mean it as an insult—and trust us when we say this applies to us as well—but sometimes as girlfriends, wives, mothers, or just people pleasers in general, we spend so much of our lives doing so much for others that we forget to leave room to do anything for ourselves. For whatever reason, we lose ourselves, and it’s about time you dedicate some time and energy into doing something just for you. When you start doing things for you—when you get a life—you become a happier, more interesting person, you’re able to pull yourself out of a funk, you improve your relationships, and you finally get excited about your own life.

Ep. 489: Friendships in the Digital Age May 15, 2024

Sometimes the easiest way to keep up with friends is to follow along with their lives through social media, but people fall through the cracks, and occasionally you’ll see a friend posting a picture of their baby when you never knew they were pregnant to begin with. We aren’t besties with every single person we’ve ever had a friendship with, and there are plenty of people we care about but don’t always click with, for whatever reason. But in our experience, if you want a friend, you have to be a friend, and that looks like showing up for each other, being vulnerable, and allowing yourself to be seen in your full-humanity.

Ep. 488: Starting a Shopify Business May 10, 2024

In 2020, Danny J and her boyfriend decided to experiment with starting a Shopify business, and in the process, they learned a lot. Starting an online business doesn’t have to look like starting a personal brand, and anyone can build one as long as you have the tenacity required. It may take some trial and error, but if you can learn as you go, you can build a thriving business without ever having to show your face.

Ep. 487: Can Charisma Be Taught + Why Should You Care? May 08, 2024

Charisma—we all want it, but what exactly is it? And if we don’t have it naturally, are we just screwed? There’s a pervasive myth about charisma that you either have it or you don’t, and if you don’t have it, you can’t be taught, but we think that’s bullshit. Sure, some people are naturally charismatic, but you can definitely develop your own charisma, and it starts by understanding everything that makes someone charismatic. Once you know the areas you might need some work on, it’s easy to get tactical and work on feeling more likable.

Ep. 486: If You Don't Have Anything Nice To Say, Don't Say It At All May 03, 2024

We’re in need of online etiquette coaching, and quickly. We grew up being taught that if you can’t saying anything nice then you shouldn’t say anything at all, but that doesn’t seem to fly on the internet anymore. Our name for it is drive-by trolling: some stranger rolls into your comment section, says something so incredibly rude (that they’d never say to your face), and then gets mad if you try to defend yourself. And of course, they face no consequences for their asshole behavior. We’re sure it’s just a way for them to feel significant or important in some way, but we’re sick of being kicked around by some stranger on the internet that doesn’t have the confidence to share their own lives online. Maybe it’s time for some internet hall-monitors?

So what do you do when there’s tensions between you and those in-laws and your partner doesn’t stick up for you?

Ep. 484: Staying Mindful of Body Obsession Extremes Apr 26, 2024

We may have worked through our dieting obsessions and pushing our bodies to extremes, but that doesn’t mean everyone else has. Every now and then we see another person, stuck in the same cycle of food and body obsession that we were on in our younger years, and we can’t help but feel sad for them. Everyone has the right to the full life experience they desire, but seeing someone trapped in a mindset that hurt us for so long is difficult to watch. That’s why it’s so important to stay mindful of the ways we think of and talk about ourselves—after years, we’ve made peace with our bodies, and we’d like to keep it that way.

Ep. 483: Take Your Brain Back with Kara Lowentheil Apr 25, 2024

When you grow up a woman in this society, there are a number of ways we get socialized—to feel like we have to earn our worth, to second guess every choice we make, to hate our bodies, or that we’re never good enough. But when you realize that you have the power to change your thoughts, a whole new world of possibilities opens up for you. Today we got to chat with Kara Lowentheil of the UnFuck Your Brain podcast about her new book and her mission to help women get out of their own heads, own their experiences, and take up the space they deserve. Getting your mindset “right” is a huge part of living up to your highest potential—your best life—but it doesn’t have to be inaccessible and it doesn’t have to be “woo woo.” We can all take charge of our experiences, no matter how society has taught us we “should” behave.

Ep. 481: Aging Strong: How We Feel Fit + Athletic After 40 with Rachel Cosgrove Apr 17, 2024

We’ve all heard some 20-year-old trainer say that “age is just a number” when it comes to our training, but the truth is that fitness in our 40’s and beyond is different than what we used to do! Our bodies, hormones, and metabolisms are changing and that means we have to change our workout methods if we want to stay healthy and fit as we age. We know just how important it is to put on muscle, so today we’re chatting with Rachel Cosgrove about her new book, Age Strong, and why talking about women’s fitness after 40 matters so much. We want to look and feel good for as long as we can, and it starts with adapting our workouts to what works best at every age.

Sometimes we need external motivation [50:41]

Ep. 480: The Internet is Boring Now Apr 12, 2024

Is it just us, or is the internet boring as fuck lately? And yet even though we’re bored to tears, we can’t stop cycling through the same apps over and over again. We’re addicted to it and yet we’re just so bored. Everyone posts the same content over and over, where the only point is to get attention and make people angry, rather than doing anything interesting. It could just be that we’re just pessimists, but it feels like the algorithm has rotted our brains. It might be time to start some social-media detoxes, and while we’re at it, maybe start reading again?

Ep. 479: We're Sick of Authenticity Apr 10, 2024

There’s so much chatter about “authenticity” and “just being yourself” online these days that it’s kinda starting to lose meaning. Of course you should be yourself online, but often people mistake being “authentic” with being vulnerable. Some people like to share everything about themselves with their followers, some people don’t! We’ve also seen a lot of people conflate being authentic with just being an asshole. At the end of the day, it’s important to stay true to who YOU are in every moment, and what YOU want to share, rather than what some rando on the internet tells you is “real” authenticity.

What the hell does “authenticity” even mean? [0:55]

Authenticity and vulnerability are not the same [2:15]

Dramatics get more attention [4:47]

“Just be yourself” is harder to do than you think [9:39]

Ownership is sexy [12:04]

Creating teaches you about yourself [16:05]

Finding peace in who you are [18:32]

You need people to feel safe with you [21:42]

Ep. 478: When A Prominent Public Figure Tells A Lie Apr 05, 2024

Maybe you’ve heard already, but prominent podcaster Andrew Huberman, was recently exposed for having relationships with 6 different women at once. And while there’s nothing technically “illegal” about what he’s done, it’s a really shitty move done by someone who claims to have high integrity, and it rubs us the wrong way. We’re not big believers in the concept that how you do one thing is how you do everything, but how are we supposed to respect a man that has shown he doesn’t really respect the women in his life? No one is perfect, but when you’re a public figure, the way you act has a big impact on how your work is perceived, and this is one mistake we can’t really look past.

Is how you do one thing is how you do everything? [6:50]

Not everyone is what they seem [11:00]

A pattern of disrespect is telling [15:02]

Bad behavior has consequences, no matter who you are [18:15]

Only a sincere apology will do [21:17]

If it hurts someone, it hurts everyone [26:13]

A war between the sexes [29:25]

Ep. 477: How Our Workouts Change As We Age Apr 03, 2024

We’re not at young as we once were, and as much as we hate to admit it, our bodies are changing. That means making peace with the fact that the way we once worked out no longer works for us, and figuring out new ways to stay fit. It’s hard af to let go of the ways things used to be, but staying the same forever can do more harm than good. Nowadays we prioritize managing our physical + emotional stress, putting on muscle, and letting the small things add up. Just because working out looks different now doesn’t mean what we’re doing is worse.

Adjusting your workouts as you age [1:44]

Keeping your stress levels in-check [6:54]

Ep. 476: Finding Happiness While Sober with Courtney Andersen of Sober Vibes Mar 29, 2024

We’ve been on a sober-curious kick lately, so who better to talk to than someone who’s built a community for sober women and has been sober herself for 11 years and counting? Today, Danny interviews Courtney Andersen, founder of Sober Vibes, about her journey to sobriety and the challenges and joys of living an alcohol-free life. We discuss the decision to quit drinking, finding fun without alcohol, the cultural shift towards sobriety, and how to navigate social outings without alcohol. We also talk about re-defining relapse and a shame-free approach to sobriety. Life is hard enough, with or without drinking, and we’re all better for having these conversations openly and compassionately.

Ep. 475: Are We Morally Obligated To Keep Up with the News? Mar 27, 2024

Instagram is rolling out a new feature that defaults to keeping news and political content off of our feeds, and it got us thinking, is it irresponsible to ignore current events? Unfortunately, many news sources are produced with biases, headlines are manufactured to outrage rather than inform, and falsified information is getting harder and harder to differentiate from what’s “real.” And not only that, but after years of getting everything from social media algorithms, we’re all primed to see and hear things we already agree with. Maybe it’s just us, but the “news” doesn’t feel like the news anymore. Is it just us?

The “news” isn’t the news anymore [3:10]

Ep. 474: Can Men + Women Be Friends, No Strings Attached? Mar 22, 2024

Today, we’re bravely tackling a question no one has ever dared to ask before: can men and women be friends? Okay, okay, we hardly have a new take on this topic—of course they can!—but as two women whose marriages ended due to infidelity, sometimes the answer can feel a little more complicated. Lots of men and women can be friends with no romantic or sexual connection, but there are some hard feelings and potential red flags to be aware of if you or your partner has a close friend of the opposite sex.

Ep. 473: Simple Is Boring Mar 20, 2024

Whenever we face problems in our lives, we tend to crave complicated solutions over easy ones. Somehow we think complexity is more likely to give us a result—unfortunately, while simple is boring, it’s also effective. No one wants to hear that the solution to losing weight is eating less. Instead we look to fad diets or new workout techniques, and it takes us even longer to reach our goals. We’re so caught up in optimizing everything that we forget to perfect the basics. Is there anything in your life you’re over-complicating?

Humans prefer complicated solutions over simple ones [1:00]

Trying to gamify our lives [2:43]

Our brain works against itself [6:09]

Ep. 472: The Loneliness in Getting Older Mar 15, 2024

Maybe it’s just us, but there’s some weird loneliness that seems to come with getting older. We’ve been holding it down for our loved ones for so long, and we’re caretakers by nature, but maybe it’s time to ask who’s taking care of us? Our responsibilities are more than ever, but now our support networks are spread out and we don’t want to burden anyone. What’s left is us, feeling alone, and starting to feel resentful of our lives. We know it isn’t forever, but sometimes that loneliness hits us, and we just needed to talk about it. If you’re out there feeling lonely too, you’re not in this by yourself. We see you, we understand you, we ARE you.

Ep. 471: Is Taking Selfies Self-Absorbed? Mar 13, 2024

It’s 2024, are we still judging people for taking selfies? Sometimes we like the way we look and want to share it, what’s so wrong with that? There are so many times we wish we’d gotten over ourselves and taken photos to remember specific moments in our lives, but now those times are past and we’ll never get those memories back. And hey, there’s nothing wrong with taking a picture just because you’re feeling hot, too. Next time you see someone post a selfie, let it inspire you to take photos of your own life, rather than thinking someone is too self-absorbed.

Do I need to be helpful all the time? [4:15]

Ep. 470: Can You Be Too Relatable? Mar 08, 2024

When you have an audience of any kind, a decision must be made—do you keep yourself relatable and friendly to all, or do you out your own self on a pedestal to keep people coming back for more? For the former, some might argue that this leaves you “too” relatable, and at risk of your audience losing respect for you. On the other hand, the latter might leave you seeming stiff, unapproachable, and with a superiority complex. Danny and Jill ponder this dichotomy and wonder what the best path is for handling the influencer-consumer relationship. (This episode is a re-run. Originally published in 2019.)

Ep. 469: Grief Demands to Be Felt, Even When It's Misunderstood Mar 07, 2024

Grief demands to be felt, and in many ways it needs to be witnessed. Grief doesn’t have a specific look, nor does it have an expiration date, but there are some types of grief that might seem uncommon or “wrong” to feel, which can leave us stuck with these feelings without any way to process them. That’s disenfranchised grief—grief that isn’t openly acknowledged on a societal or personal level. Maybe you have felt some disenfranchised grief, and in this episode Danny shares some of the commonly ignored types of grief to let you know that if you’ve been hurt by any of these experiences, you are’t alone and that how you feel matters.

Ep. 468: Do We Even Need Men? Mar 02, 2024

We talk a lot of shit about men (and sometimes they deserve it) but at the end of the day, we love men and we appreciate what they do for us and who they are. But sometimes we wonder if the younger generations feel the same. “We don’t need men!” is a popular soundbyte, but do young women really feel that way, and how it that affecting the self esteem of the future generations of boys?

Ep. 467: Towels for Valentine's Day Feb 29, 2024

For holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries, do gifts matter? Or is it only the thought that counts? Maybe a mixture of the two? We aren’t saying that the only way to make us feel loved is by buying us gifts, but there are some presents that are a little more insulting to receive than if you had gotten nothing at all. We all want to be loved in different ways, so before you go buy towels for your partner for Valentine’s Day, make sure it’s something they’d love.

Ep. 466: Elitism in Internet Business Feb 24, 2024

There’s a lot to be said about “getting in the room” and surrounding yourself with people who can challenge and elevate you as a business owner or person, but at what point does it become elitism? At what point is the obsession with surrounding yourself with the “right” people performative and just for chasing clout? We’ve been entrepreneurs for a long time, and unfortunately, we see a lot of transactional relationships and judgement against people who aren’t deemed successful enough, whatever that even means. For us, our genuine relationships mean everything, and we aren’t going to abandon the people we care about just because they aren’t the “right” level of successful. Yuck.

There are some people who like their life planned out to a T, months in advance of any event (like Jill!) aaaaand then there are those that wait until the last possible second to confirm anything and leave the rest of us biting their nails (*ahem* like Danny-J).

Ep. 464: How To Make the Big, Tough Decision Feb 16, 2024

There will be times in our lives when we are faced with a tough decision, be it personal, business, financial, or otherwise. When we come to these crossroads, we feel lost. What if we make the wrong decision? What if we pick the wrong thing and our lives fall apart? We’ll let you in on a little secret: there is no “right” and there is no “wrong.” Decisions get made, and we figure out what comes next, no matter what. The only real thing to do is take action, and let the chips fall where they may.

Ep. 463: Your Success Only Counts If You're Attractive Feb 14, 2024

Whether we like it or not, our society is hyper-fixated on how women look, act, and exist in this world. If you’re single, you’re looked down upon. If you’re married, a lot of your success is attributed to your husband. If you aren’t pretty, you get over-looked. But we all know looks can fade and not even marriage is without risk of ending. It’s kind of like we’re damned if we do, and we’re damned if we don’t. It’s not that we resent the urge to feel pretty—of course we want to look and feel good—but don’t you sometimes wonder how much farther along in life you could be if your looks weren’t the most important thing about you (at least in society’s eyes)?

Ep. 462: How Danny Got Off Her Anti-Depressants Feb 10, 2024

Danny was always told she’d be on anti-depressants for the rest of her life. As a child, she was told that her brain was “imbalanced” and she’d always have to take meds to feel okay, but as of October os 2022, she hasn’t taken any sort of medication for mental health, and doesn’t see that changing any time soon. It wasn’t an overnight journey, and it entailed some socially taboo and sometimes-frowned upon tactics, but she has never felt better. This isn’t a how-to guide to getting off your psychiatric meds, but if you’re curious how Danny did it, look no further.

Ep. 461: Finding Our Focus in an Over-Stimulating World with Dr. Laura Gouge Feb 07, 2024

In a world where we’re constantly being bombarded with distractions and anxieties, our mental health is at an all-time low. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and ADHD are being reported in record numbers and it all feels so impossible to fix. Luckily for us, we got to chat with Dr. Laura Gouge, a naturopathic physician who works with women like all of us to treat our mental health problems, especially ADHD, holistically. We’re not against medication here, but our gut health, hormones, and nervous system all impact our focus and if we can work to understand the root causes of our attention struggles, we’re halfway to fixing them and feeling more focused and satisfied every single day.

Ep. 460: That Time Danny Got Extorted Feb 02, 2024

When something looks too good to be true… it probably is. We’ve talked about buying followers, downloads, and likes here before but hey, even we aren’t perfect. Recently, Danny saw an opportunity to bury some bad reviews, but unfortunately, things didn’t turn out as good as she’d hoped. This episode is a little embarrassing, but it’s real, and we hope you don’t laugh too hard at our misfortune 😅

Ep. 459: The Power of Names Feb 01, 2024

Shakespeare once asked the question, “what’s in a name?” and lately we’ve been asking ourselves the same thing. After learning that her ex-husband is getting remarried and then running into him and his new fiancee (all in the same week!), Danny has been rethinking what it means to share a last name with her ex. Changing (or not changing) your last name when you get married is always a personal choice, especially because our names, in a way, become a part of our identities. Sharing a last name with your partner is almost like playing for the same team, but when that team is no linger one you want to play for, shit gets complicated.

Ep. 458: Friendships That Fade Jan 27, 2024

Friendships are so important to nurture in our lives, but whether we like it or not, sometimes friendships fade. We grow apart, we miscommunicate, and we get in fights that slowly corrode relationships with friends that used to be our whole support system, and fuck—it can get awkward. Our relationships with friends take effort, and it’s painful when that effort slowly fades away. Through it all, the people who want to keep you in their lives will make an effort, and you should too.

Ep. 457: Advice To Our Younger Selves Jan 25, 2024

Life in our 40’s is so much different than we ever could have imagined at the beginning of our 30’s. It was a decade of finding ourselves amidst a lot of chaos and upheaval, and no amount of warnings could have prepared us for all that happened. There are so many pieces of advice we didn’t take (and wish we did) and even more advice we wish we had, but at the end of the day, we’re grateful for every little thing we went through. What advice would you give to your younger self?

Ep. 456: A Chat About Explant Surgery Jan 19, 2024

It’s no secret, Danny has fake boobs and she’s always liked it that way. That is, until, several people she knows have started having breast-implant horror stories—now she’s thinking it’s time to get them out. Just like our hair or our skin or our clothes, as women, we tie a lot of our identity to our bodies, and especially our boobs, so saying goodbye isn’t easy. But as we get older, our priorities change, and where we once mostly cared about looking a certain way, now our health is a bigger priority.

Ep. 455: It's Not Your Fault (But It Is Your Responsibility) Jan 18, 2024

Shitty things happen to us all the time, and while it’s never your fault when someone wrongs you, it is your responsibility to heal from it. No amount of wishing or righteous anger undoes the past, and no amount of trying to understand “why” bad things happen, will take away the pain. Sometimes, you’re just left to pick up the pieces alone. But if you’re able to practice that emotional resiliency, you’ll be light years ahead of everyone else. You’ll be a healing ninja.

Ep. 454: Practicing Digital Modesty Jan 13, 2024

We don’t have the shiniest of social media reputations—if you saw what we were up to in 2017 and 2018, no you didn’t—but nowadays we tend to practice a little more “digital modesty.” For us, we just aren’t up to as much mischief as we once were, but there are some who use their digital modesty to seem more appealing to potential romantic partners. There’s definitely something to be said about attracting the kind of person you are, and with social media being so present in everyone’s lives, there’s not much hiding you can do. Are you practicing digital modesty?

Ep. 453: The Lack of Integrity in Internet Marketing Jan 10, 2024

Look we’re marketers, so we know all the tips and tricks being used in modern marketing. Try as we might to be upon front and honest with our marketing practices, there are still tons of people out in the world making sales in less than integrous ways. And while we’d love it for everyone to be up-front about the products that they sell, unfortunately assholes will always be asshole, scammers will always be scammers, and it’s up to us to decide what’s a good investment or not. Snake oil salesmen are nothing new, and the only way to beat them is not to fall for their tricks in the first place.

Ep. 452: Standing Out From the Crowd Jan 05, 2024

If you’ve ever thought about starting an online business, you need a way to make yourself stand out from the crowd. We all know someone with the “it-factor” but is that something that people are simply born with, or can it be taught? We think it can! There are so many voices and personalities online, and the best way to truly stand out is just to be yourself! People can sense authenticity, and as long as you lean in to what makes you, well… YOU… you’ll always stand out.

You can’t always force your life to be “less busy” so how can you manage the feelings of burnout, so that you can live your own life without hating every single second of it? It’s #TheBestLife, not #TheBurntOut life, and we want to feel exited and refreshed to start our days.

Ep. 450: Be The Bigger Person (Even When You Don't Want To) Dec 29, 2023

As much as we all love being petty (and you know we’re good at it, too) there is something to be said about being the “bigger person.” While the un-evolved versions of ourselves might like pointing out when Brenda is acting like an idiot, that kind of negativity never brought out the best in anyone. Whether you realize it or not, people are looking to you to see how you act. Are you proud of the way you handle conflict? Do you respond to situations rather than react? Maybe it’s less “fun” tone the bigger person, but the way we show up in conflict matters.

Ep. 449: What Are Your Core Values? Dec 27, 2023

Our value systems are deeply personal and influence almost everything we do in our lives. We all have core values, whether they’re obvious to us or not. Getting clear on what our values are can help us find direction in work, play, love, and life. It’s often said that you teach people how to treat you, and with a defined set of values, you get to set the tone for your interactions and future choices. Not all things in this life can be important, and when you know what your core values are, you have the freedom to focus on what really matters to you.

Ep. 448: What the Hell Are We Supposed to Wear? Dec 23, 2023

One thing the holidays bring about are those damn holiday parties, and what’s even worse than having to go to a work holiday party is choosing an outfit for them—what the hell does “smart casual” even mean?! Then, of course, you have to layer on what your parter is wearing too. Should you coordinate outfits? Will they dress too casually and embarrass you? If they show up looking sloppy, how does that reflect on you? The way we see it, the more direction we can get, the better, just as long as we get to wear what makes us the most comfortable.

Who can keep up with all the dress codes? [2:46]

Ep. 447: Have You Ever Been a "Rehab" Girlfriend? Dec 20, 2023

Have you ever had a partner so rough around the edges that they need some rehabilitation to be a passable partner, only for the relationship to end and all the work you put in goes to benefit some other woman? We’ve fallen for the project-boyfriend more times than we’re proud of, but there’s nothing more bitter-sweet (and a little bit rage-inducing) than watching your ex go be a better partner for someone else using all the things you taught them. It happens to the best of us, but if you keep falling for the same types of men, hate to say it, but it might be a you problem 😳

Ep. 446: Your Partner's Previous Relationship Experiences Dec 16, 2023

We’ve talked about feeling insecure over your partner’s ex relationships before—and believe us, it’s normal to feel that way—but there’s another layer of insecurity and jealousy to work though when it comes to the different traditions and milestones they experienced together. Your partner can’t undo the past and they can’t un-experience the things they have, so don’t hold it against them. Just because your partner went to a certain restaurant or did a certain activity in their past, doesn’t make it meaningless and un-special when they do it with you. Getting stuck in the jealousy spiral only hurts one person: YOU!

Ep. 445: Do Women Even Need Men Anymore? Dec 13, 2023

As women, it used to be true that the worst insult someone could throw at us was “you’re going to die childless and without a man’s love,” but it’s not quite a threat anymore. More and more women are finding happiness and fulfillment on their own, and the days of “needing” a man to take care of us are long gone. Don’t take it the wrong way, we really do love men, but we’ve seen too many women in our lives lose everything because they depended on a man who didn’t have their best interest at heart. So many of us are fulfilling the traditional female AND male roles now, but many men refuse to step up and do the same. Maybe we don’t really need them anymore 💁🏻‍♀️

Ep. 444: Do You Have A Back-Up Boyfriend? Dec 08, 2023

According to some men (and we all know how reliable they can be 🙄) most women will have a partner in mind as a back-up option if the relationship they’re currently in doesn’t work out. We can’t deny that the fantasy of feeling like we could make any man from our past drop everything and run away because they’re obsessed with us sure sounds fun, but truthfully, there’s no person we’d even want to keep “on the hook” like that. The grass isn’t always greener and we know that some other romantic partner won’t magically fix our lives. But hey, maybe we’re the outliers here and you really do have a Plan B. If that’s you, more power to you, girl!

Ep. 443: Entering Our Zero-Fucks Era Dec 06, 2023

We’re in our zero-fucks era 💅 Over the last few years on the internet it’s felt like we have to be careful with every little thing we say, lest someone take offense to something innocently said. But lately, we just don’t have the bandwidth to care anymore. We can’t monitor every move we make, and when we spend so much time trying to please everyone, we limit the impact we can make to the people who actually care and limit our own realities. We feel better when we’re working hard and striving for something more, so we’re done apologizing for being ambition and we’re done giving a fuck about always saying the “right” thing.

Ep. 442: Who's Your Celebrity Hall Pass? Dec 02, 2023

Having a celebrity Hall Pass—aka someone you’re “allowed” to have sex with outside of your relationship—is a somewhat common thing, but like… should it be? We know that the times in our lives we’ve been most obsessed with celebrities has been due to the fact that we didn’t really have anything else going on in our lives. But hey, a celebrity Hall Pass might be a better choice than a Hall Pass for your neighbor, Carl.

Ep. 441: Keeping Our Hormones In Check as We Age Nov 30, 2023

You know we love talking to experts on hormones and aging here—aging is coming for us whether we want it or not, and we won’t be going down without a fight. Today Jill is talking to Kim Schaper, metabolism and hormone expert for women over 35, about how our bodies change as we get older and what we can do to feel our best along the way. You can stay on a diet for your entire life, but at some point that stress catches up and you’ll be forced to slow down. Wouldn’t it be better to prevent the struggle before it even happens? Doesn’t it seem life living the #BestLife includes feeling vital, healthy, and happy no matter what our age is?

Ep. 440: Rebuilding A Relationship in Destruction Mode Nov 24, 2023

There’s a moment right before you end a relationship that might be the perfect opportunity to destroy the status quo and rebuild from scratch. Buuuuut just because you’re in this “destruction mode” doesn’t mean this plan will work every time. It may sound like a great idea—starting over again—but sometimes change comes a little too late, and you can’t erase the past and certain hurts. Relationships can bring out the best and the worst in people, and being together doesn’t stop us from growing, even if that means growing apart. As much as we wish there was, there’s no one piece of relationship advice to solve all problems, but as long as you stay open and honest and communicate clearly, you’ll never regret trying, no matter what the outcome is.

Relationship destruction-mode [2:49]

Not all advice applies [3:47]

Too much change to overcome, together [6:08]

Communicating effectively [16:50]

The fear of being alone [18:27]

Breaking up amicably [22:06]

Ep. 439: Starting from Scratch in Your Career Nov 22, 2023

Starting over in your life is one thing, but starting over in a professional sense is a whole other mind-fuck. We talk about mindset a lot here, but we’ve still been known to suffer from comparisonitis and negative self-talk from our own inner-critic—no one can make you feel worse about where you think you “should” be than yourself. Most people start off-and-on again, and even more people give up before they even get started. It’s harder than it sounds, but the best way to succeed is to just keep going.

Ep. 438: Your 2023 Hoiday Survival Guide Nov 17, 2023

The holidays are quickly approaching, and if you’re anything like us, the coming weeks and months can be filled with stress from all around. Our families love us, but that doesn’t stop them from pressuring us to be certain ways, or accomplish certain life “milestones” that we don’t really care for, not to mention to pressure to travel, buy gifts, overindulge in food, and over consume alcohol. It’s not too late to start setting boundaries this holiday season about what you will and won’t accept. And Bestie? We won’t judge you if you opt out of the holiday season altogether, it’s what we would do.

Things that make us happy as we age [5:54]

Family pressure for life “milestones” [9:13]

Ep. 437: Movement and Your Mental Health with Meghann Koppele Duffy Nov 16, 2023

The health of our brains is connected to every other function of our bodies, and especially our movement. As Meg Koppele-Duffy, co-founder of the Neuro Studio and movement coach for patients with neurological conditions, says, “every patient is a neuro patient.” We want to stay sharp (and happy!) as we age, and there’s so much more about the brain-body connection to keep in mind than we once previously thought.

Ep. 434: Fighting Distraction in An Attention Economy Nov 03, 2023

As technology and media develop further and become more important parts of our lives, our attention is getting spread thin. As a result, we’ve all become pretty bad listeners. You probably don’t even realize it—most people tend to believe they’re much better at listening than they actually are—but very few people feel truly listened to and understood. We think we’re pretty self-aware of our attention habits, but even we find ourselves reaching for our phones and distraction every few seconds. Distraction hurts us everywhere—in our work, relationships, even our health. Is phone freedom an attainable goal?

We’ve gotten worse at listening [2:10]

A lack of listening can ruin relationships [6:46]

Ep. 433: Is Cleaning the Secret to Success? Nov 01, 2023

Is the secret to success as simple as making your bed? It’s been said that cleaning is the ultimate life-hack—declutter your desk to declutter your mind, clean up your finances to make even more money, make your bed and you’re on the fast-track to success. Sure, it sounds nice in theory but like most soundbytes in personal development, there’s more than meets the eye. Sure, cleaning up your life might set you up for success, but is that really the thing that’ll make or break you? There are just as many successful people who make their bed every morning as there are who just roll out of bed and start the day. It’s a great first step, but it’s not the only thing that matters. The real question is, what’s the first step *you* need to take to get you to the next level?

Is cleaning an underrated hack? [2:24]

Use your energy on things that actually move the dial [4:02]

Your routine won’t make you rich [7:25]

Start small, and grow from there [10:16]

Outcome shouldn’t dictate your effort [13:03]

Causation vs. correlation [16:46]

What is the first step to get to the next level? [18:42]

Ep. 432: Yanking Yourself Out of Scarcity Oct 27, 2023

It’s easy to feel all good when everything’s all good… but having an abundant mindset is a big ask when money is tight or business isn’t doing well. When our finances feel out of control, how the hell are we supposed to yank ourselves out of scarcity?! While we can’t control everything in life, sometimes the answer lies in focusing on the things you do have power over, including bettering yourself, in order to build the confidence you need. Sometimes life can throw a wrench in our plans, but trusting ourselves to figure out whatever comes our way is the best way to find abundance again.

Ep. 431: Online, Everyone Loses Oct 25, 2023

Is it just us, or does everyone seem to make everything about them nowadays? Look, we aren’t calling everybody a narcissist (or maybe we are…) but it seems like anytime we talk about ourselves, someone out there gets mad that we didn’t take into account their very specific situation. We know it’s impossible to please everyone, but lately it feels impossible to please anyone. Posting about your life online is vulnerable and haters come with the territory, but has social media become a zero-sum game? Does anybody win this "game"? Does any of this even matter?

Ep. 430: Becoming Sober-Curious Oct 20, 2023

We’ve seen something interesting, and maybe you have too, but there seems to be a cultural shift away from drinking alcohol. After our marriages ended, we spent a lot more time drinking than we’d care to admit, but lately things feel a little bit different. The pull to drink feels less and less strong, and we aren’t the only people who seem to be feeling it. Alcohol is a poison, and even though it can create some fun times, maybe it’s for the best that we pull away. But hey, if we still want a cocktail, you know we’re gonna have one, just maybe a little more mindfully this time around.

Ep. 429: Relationships Are Made In the Details Oct 18, 2023

We talk a lot about communication on this podcast, but can you blame us? So many struggles and conflicts in our lives and relationships could be easily prevented or solved if we just communicated openly. No one is a mind reader and we can’t expect anyone—and especially our partners—to read the subtext of the things we say if we don’t communicate our feelings explicitly. Relationships are made up of little moments, and when you give each other the best chance at succeeding, you set your entire relationship up for success.

Yesterday was World Mental Health Day and as people who are no strangers to mental health struggles, we wanted to talk about something near and dear to us—talk therapy.

We don’t know a single person who couldn’t benefit from seeing a therapist every now and again. Taking care of your mental health is hard work, and daunting!

Ep. 426: Men's Use of Social Media Oct 07, 2023

Should men have rights? The jury is still out on that one, but for now it seems like they still do and one of those rights we can’t seem to take away from them is social media use. We’re kidding (of course!) but we’ve been noticing a lot of issues when it comes to some men’s use of social media. Everywhere you turn there’s someone posting sexualized pictures of themselves—and good for them! The problem isn’t the photos, it’s the fact that some men in relationships don’t seem to care when the act of looking at these pictures upsets their partner. Is this our fault for being insecure, or are men just immature?

Ep. 425: Healing From Relationship PTSD Oct 04, 2023

We talk a lot about the struggles of being stuck in an unhealthy or toxic relationship—and rightfully so—but there isn’t much being said about how hard it can be in your first relationship after something toxic. Old triggers die hard, and even if your new boo hasn’t done anything to give you concern, you might still be holding on to anxiety and hyper-vigilance from your past. Or even worse—you could be attracting the same type of unhealthy relationship over and over again. For better or for worse, you can’t run from the past, so you’ll have to heal one way or another. We’re with you every step of the way, Bestie.

Ep. 423: Making Friends with Your Family with Danny Coleman Sep 28, 2023

We got 5-peat guest, Danny Coleman, on the show today! Danny Coleman is Jill’s younger brother and one thing the Colemans do well is great family relationships—even if it hasn’t always been easy. We don’t believe that you have to like your family just because they’re family. Good relationships take effort, whether it’s a romantic partner, best friend, or your parents and siblings.

Ep. 422: "Victim Blaming" on Social Media Sep 22, 2023

There are tons of terms that get thrown around the internet and it’s hard to know what’s what at times. Today we wanted to chat about victim blaming—when is it really an issue, and when are people just being a little over dramatic? Believe it or not, words have real meanings and you can’t always take them out of context to serve whatever narrative you want. Real victims deserve our compassion, but you can’t just make yourself one because you don’t like what someone posts online.

Today’s episode is an interview with a very special guest—Jill’s boyfriend, Keith! When this show started, Danny and Jill were both single and up to the shenanigans that only single women can get up to. So much has changed since then, including long-term relationships for both women. Jill has interviewed Keith for the show before, but it’s been a while and we thought it was time to check back in. If you’ve ever wanted to know more about the man behind the mustache, now’s your chance.

Ep. 420: What is Your Sexual Market Value Sep 16, 2023

There’s a trend going around on some corners of the internet defining people—usually, defining women—by their Sexual Market Value. Your SMV is defined by things like physique, income, and even the number of people you’ve slept with and to be honest, it’s a load of bullshit. The qualities that make someone attractive are so subjective, and besides, we shouldn’t be basing our worth based on how fuckable we may or may not be to some dude named Brad with a Twitter account. There are so many more important things to care about in this life, your “SMV” shouldn’t be at the top.

Ep. 419: How To Get Your Partner to Communicate Better Sep 13, 2023

We know you shouldn’t be falling in love with someone’s potential, but is it fair to your partner to push them towards being a better communicator? If you listen to this podcast, chances are you’re interested in personal development, but just because you’re trying to improve yourself doesn’t mean you can force your partner to be interested in the same things. Becoming a better communicator is at the heart of so many day-to-day issues, but the only thing you can really do is lead by example. If you set the stage for healthy communication, hopefully your partner can learn from you.

Ep. 418: Falling In Love With Someone's Potential Sep 08, 2023

Have you ever loved the idea of what someone *could* be, more than the person that they actually are? There’s danger in falling in love with someone’s potential. Some people are happy to be challenged by their partners, but there’s a fine line between challenging them to reach their dreams and setting expectations that your partner can’t reach, or never wanted in the first place. You’ll find a lot more peace in letting your partner tell you who they want to be, rather than attempting to force them into being who you wish they were.

Ep. 417: Breaking Out of Your Monotonous Life Sep 06, 2023

Are you living out the plot of Groundhog Day—every day you wake up and life is just the same over, and over, and over again? So many people get complacent in their lives and dream of a way out, but without ever making any changes. No doubt about it, life is busy and stressful and it’s hard as hell to get out of the rat race, but if you want something different, you have to DO something different. We’re so grateful we decided on an entrepreneurial journey so many years ago, but if you’re craving the same things later in your life, it’s never too late to get started. We want to live a life we don’t feel like escaping from, and we want that for you, too. You have to start somewhere, sometime. Why not start now?

Ep. 416: How Much Venting Is Too Much Venting? Sep 01, 2023

We all need to vent about the shitty moments in our lives, but there’s a thin line between venting and complaining. Our partners are often our sounding boards to life’s frustrations, but what do you do when your partner says you’re too negative? How can you tell what the right amount of venting is, or the right time to do it? Your partner should be able to hold space for you, but they’re only human, too, and sometimes they just want to fix it, but don’t know how.

Ep. 415: Being Happy Must Be Nice! Aug 31, 2023

We all know social media is curated and often shows just a highlight reel of everyone’s lives. But we’ve been sharing our lives online for so long that now even the good shit brings haters. Sharing even one happy moment earns a passive aggressive, “Must be nice!” from the peanut gallery. So when good things happen, sometimes we’re hesitant to share! Do we have to earn the right to be happy? And who are we even posting the good shit for?

Ep. 414: Your Partner's Different Lifestyle Choices Aug 25, 2023

Nobody wants to date themselves—our partners are different than us, and that’s a great thing! …Well, usually. But sometimes the people we date want different things out of life, and not like major deal breakers, but in the small things, like how we spend money, how much we like to go out to eat, what time to go to bed, and so on. Compromise comes easily at the begging of a relationship, but as time goes on you might start to feel a little resentful at just how differently you and your partner want to be living. Does compromise without resentment even exist?

Ep. 413: Are You Insecure or is Your Partner Just an Asshole? Aug 24, 2023

Relationship anxiety is real and happens to the best of us, but at some point it might be worth asking yourself if your insecurities come from within, or if your partner’s behavior is what’s really making you anxious. Inconsistency breeds anxiety and even though we’re all for taking personal responsibility most of the time, it’s just not always your fault! If you’re unsure whether the anxiety is real or not, take a look at the patterns in your relationship and your communication to see if your partner is doing just fine or if they’re just kind of an asshole. Let’s hope it’s the first option!

Or you insecure or is your partner making you anxious? [1:07]

Ep. 412: Mastering the Art of Working from Home Aug 18, 2023

After 2020, so many people had to transition from working in an office to working at home. We’ve been self-employed for a while now so we’ve mastered the art of working from home, but there’s a real learning curve. Without the normal constrictions of an office, there’s no clear time to clock-off. Mixed with the fact that there is always more to be done, you might fall in to the trap of working 24/7. And don’t even get us started on the distractions… If you have dreams of self-employment or you’re yet to master the work-from-home flow, we’ve got some tips to get you on the right track.

Ep. 411: Are You Setting Boundaries, or Are You Just an Asshole? Aug 16, 2023

We’ve been hot on setting boundaries for a while now, but it seems like people who aren’t in the personal development space are starting to talk more about them. The problem is, a lot of people get the concept of boundaries a little mixed up. What someone sets as a “boundary” is actually more like just being an asshole. Boundaries aren’t about making people do what you want, they’re about monitoring your own reactions and behaviors. If you find yourself resenting everyone and everything in your life, it doesn’t mean you should start telling everyone what to do. Sometimes the best option is just to walk away.

Do you have boundaries? Or are you just an asshole? [1:49]

Boundaries are about *you* show up [4:35]

You can’t blame others for acting how you allow them to [7:50]

Ep. 410: When The Old Ways of Doing Things No Longer Works Aug 11, 2023

When you’ve been coaches for as long as we have, the things we once thought we knew are different now. As we learn more, old modes of thinking and doing things no longer work, and we’re faced with a decision: double down on the things we’ve always done, or change it all and adapt. It’s terrifying when your deeply held beliefs become untrue, but it’s also against our value system to keep teaching things we no longer believe in. You might not know all the answers right away, but if you value working and living in integrity, it might be time to let the old ways of thinking go.

Ep. 409: Censoring Yourself In Front of Your Parents Aug 09, 2023

After a girls weekend in Vegas with her mom, Jill received some interesting comments about showing “too much skin” in front of her mom. Correct us if we’re wrong but our moms literally made us, so why should we be ashamed to show our bodies in front of them? Maybe it’s a fear of disappointing our parents, or maybe some of just want to be spared from judgmental comments, but shit… we’re all adults here! If we can’t be ourselves—tight dresses, swear words, and all—in front of our parents, then aren’t we denying our family the chance to truly know us? Seems like a lose-lose situation to us.

Ep. 408: Habits of the Unsuccessful Aug 04, 2023

We don’t know about you, but we’ve never seen a successful hater. There’s something to be said about a person’s energy and how that either blocks or leads to their success. So many of us spend our time hating, complaining, or victimizing ourselves when we could be making much better use of our lives by working hard as hell. We’ve noticed a pattern of behaviors amongst people tend to stay unsuccessful, and if you don’t want that to be you, it might be time to take a good look at how you’re spending your time.

Drive-by haters [3:01]

Hating people who have the success we want [5:25]

Energy wasted on negativity [9:05]

A sense of entitlement [11:48]

Complaining for the sake of complaining [15:00]

Being able to take constructive criticism [22:57]

Waiting for someone to give you a leg up [25:00]

It matters who you spend your time with [27:43]

Ep. 407: Do We Need to Be Attractive? Aug 02, 2023

We came across a social media post recently, telling us—and women in general—that we don’t need to be attractive. We won’t speak for everyone, but uhhhhhh…. We do! At least, we want to. Of course we don’t have to be attractive every moment of the day, but there’s something to be said about the confidence boost we get when we feel attractive. Look good, feel good, do good right?

Do you *need* to feel attractive? [5:35]

Looking “put together” while traveling [7:58]

Feeling good helps with productivity [10:22]

Look nice for your partner [12:29]

Staying true to who you are [15:41]

Is it societal conditioning? [16:36]

Ep. 406: Is Religion Hurting People? Jul 28, 2023

Religion is one of the oldest human practices, but it might be time to ask the question of whether or not it causes more harm than good. We’re not religious, so take it all with a grain of salt, but for as much good as religion brings to individuals, it seems to come with a lot of hate and violence packed in. Of course, not every person who practices a religion is hurting others, but is the institution itself to blame?

Religious beliefs that harm others [1:52]

What hurts others is subjective [4:32]

Let people have the full experience [6:50]

A savior complex [8:47]

Agency and autonomy is a gift [11:48]

Ep. 405: Wifey Privileges on a Girlfriend's Salary Jul 26, 2023

Maybe you’ve heard the phrase, “Why buy the cow when you can have the milk for free?” (Ew.) Besides the obvious issue of comparing women to cows, it brings up an interesting question: are there things that a wife does (or should do) that a girlfriend does not? And should women be holding out on certain tasks until we finally get that ring? Barf! Every relationship is different and if you want to be married, that’s great! But there isn’t some magical difference between married and un-married. The way your relationship looks only needs to matter to the people inside it. Everyone else can mind their own damn business.

Wife vs. girlfriend duties [4:32]

The rules of cohabitation [6:15]

What are “wife” privileges? [8:32]

Not everyone wants to get married [9:54]

Ep. 403: The Emotional Fallout of an Injury Jul 19, 2023

As former athletes and fitness professionals—and hell, just as women in general—it’s easy to tie our identities and self-worth to our bodies. But as we all know, bodies are constantly changing and sometimes those changes are well out of our control, due to illness or injury. When your core identity (or worse—your income) is wrapped up in what your body looks like or does, it can send you spiraling. Trust us, we’ve been there. As shitty as it is, an injury or illness might be exactly the thing you need to teach you acceptance, patience, and show you that you’re so much more than your body.

The mind-fuck of an injury [5:50]

You need to diversify [7:08]

Ep. 402: Feeling Guilty For Wanting More Jul 14, 2023

Our Besties tend to be hard-working, high-achieving badasses (yep, looking at you!). But even if you’ve worked hard to get everything you’ve ever dreamed of, it’s normal to want even more. You’re not ungrateful, you’re just a dreamer! No matter how much you “have,” you aren’t a bad person for wanting more and there’s no need for guilt. There’s room for both appreciation and striving.

Feeling guilty for wanting more [2:18]

Mindfulness matters [3:46]

Ep. 401: We CAN Do Hard Things, But Should We? Jul 12, 2023

We can do hard things. Of course we can. But just because we can, doesn’t always mean that we want to, or ever actually *do* those things. Mental and physical challenges are popular amongst so many groups of people, but is there any utility in pushing yourself to an extreme? Hard times may make us stronger, but we can build strength without a struggle, too. One thing is for sure: one of the best ways to build confidence in yourself and your abilities is to do something difficult, and prove to yourself that you can do whatever you set your mind to.

Doing hard shit for the sake of hard shit [3:45]

What’s the point? [6:41]

People have become complacent [8:53]

Stretching your discipline muscle [11:16]

Ep. 400: Sharing Your Breakup on Social Media Jul 07, 2023

Breakups have always been a shitty thing to go through, but now that we post so much about our personal lives online, they’ve become a new kind of terrible. We’ve all seen both the awkward and the well-done breakup posts, and—even worse—we’ve also seen the mysterious parter-disappearances from accounts with no explanation. So what’s better? What’s right? Do you have to let your followers know about the end of your relationship? Or do you let the memory of your ex die, just like the love you once shared?

Ep. 399: Our Exercise Journey Over 40 Jul 05, 2023

We used to be exercise-obsessed but now that we’re a little bit older and a little wiser, our relationship to working out has started to shift. Exercise and nutrition used to rule our lives and for one reason only: to look good. Now that we’re 40, we’re really focused on feeling good, too. There are so many things we wish we had focused on 20 years ago… but we didn’t. All we can do now is focus on the things that will help us feel strong and capable 20 years from now.

Ep. 398: How To Help A Loved One Through Chronic Illness or Injury Jul 01, 2023

We’ve talked a lot about going through various difficult situations, but it’s a whole different story when a partner or loved one is going through a chronic illness or injury. Overnight, we become caretakers in unexpected ways and it can be tough to handle. It isn’t anyone’s fault when they get sick, but whether we like it or not, our partners’ health does have a big impact on us. It might seem overwhelming and isolating to help your loved one through this, and whatever you’re feeling: it’s okay, and you’re not alone.

Ep. 397: How to Stand Out Online Jun 28, 2023

If you’ve ever thought about starting an online business, you need a way to make yourself stand out from the crowd. We all know someone with the “it-factor” but is that something that people are simply born with, or can it be taught? We think it can! There are so many voices and personalities online, and the best way to truly stand out is just to be yourself! People can sense authenticity, and as long as you lean in to what makes you, well… YOU… you’ll always stand out.

What is the It-Factor [3:19]

Ep. 396: Feeling Sexy At Any Age Jun 23, 2023

Sexiness isn’t defined by one look, clothing style, or age. Sexiness is more of an energy than anything else, and it’s within our power to reclaim our sexiness whenever we want. There’s no such thing as being “too old” to be sexy, or “not lean enough,” or any other prerequisite. I mean, we wake up and choose to be sexy every day! If you find yourself wanting to own your sexy power a little bit more, remember: sexiness is an inside job. You’re already sexy, you just need to own it.

Ep. 395: Is AI Taking Our Jobs? Jun 22, 2023

You’ve almost definitely heard all about it by now: AI is here, and it’s here to stay. Just like any new technology, AI has the prospective to be a huge leg-up for many industries, but is it going to take away all of our jobs? We can’t predict the future, but right now it might be in your best interest to learn how to use AI for good.

Ep. 394: Reflections on Losing a Parent Jun 16, 2023

It’s been almost 2 years since Danny’s mom passed away, and we’ve had some time to reflect on what it means to lose a parent. Grief is complicated and weird and all-consuming and even though so many people have gone through it, there still isn’t a “right” way to experience loss. Life, and especially loss, is never quite what you imagine it would be, and nothing you could ever prepare for. If you’ve lost someone, or will lose someone soon, we see you, we hear you, we’re with you.

Ep. 393: Choosing the Right Coach For You Jun 14, 2023

We’ve been in the coaching business for years, so we know the kind of impact the right coach chase on your mindset, body, business, relationships, and just life in general. But most people haven’t had great coaching experiences and aren’t sure where to look. It hasn’t always been perfect for us, but even our bad coaching experiences have taught us invaluable lessons. If you’re in the market for a coach of any kind, here’s how to find a good one.

Knowing who would make a good coach [1:51]

Coaches preying on people’s vulnerabilities [3:30]

Ep. 392: Building Connection with Conflicting Love Languages Jun 09, 2023

By now, pretty much everyone is familiar with the 5 Love Languages. We know what ways we like to be loved, and we’re not shy about asking for love in the perfect way. Seems straight forward enough, but what happens when the person you’re trying to build connection and intimacy with has a conflicting Love Language? Is your relationship doomed? Of course not! As in all things, a good relationship comes down to communication, and getting clear on exactly what you need in order to feel loved by your partner. If it means you might have to fake each others’ love languages for a while, then that might be exactly what you have to do.

We all liked to be loved in different ways [3:26]

Ep. 391: Why We Don't Care About Men with Dr. Jade Teta Jun 07, 2023

If you asked us if we supports men’s rights, we’d probably say yes. Of course, only if the “rights” you’re talking about is the right to shut the fuck up. Okay, okay just kidding. We have no real hate for men at all, but sometimes we find ourselves wondering why we should care about the struggles men are facing when they’re the ones who are hurting themselves (and women too!). Who better to talk about the problems men are facing than an actual, real life man?! We’re so excited to chat with Dr. Jade Teta about the (fake) problems that men are dealing with today.

Why should we care about men’s issues? [1:15]

Men need men, but there are no role models [5:35]

Ep. 390: Relating To Friends With Different Parenting Choices Jun 02, 2023

Making the decision to have or not to have kids is deeply personal, and as we’re getting older the divide between those who do and those who do not seems to be getting wider. We’re childfree by choice, but we do have friends with children, so how do we keep those relationships up? How do you relate to someone with such a different lifestyle? Sometimes people grow apart, and that’s okay! But even if you can’t always relate to their life, you can still always remain friends.

Ep. 389: Money Talks in an Unmarried Relationship May 31, 2023

There’s a societal expectation that when you get married, you merge your finances. So what happens to couples in long term, committed relationships without marriage? Finances are a deeply personal, and oftentimes tricky, subject to talk about. Everyone has different money rules and expectations that affect how we split expenses and costs with our partners. Throw in the unreliable income of entrepreneurship and things get even stickier. There’s no “right way” to deal with money, but there’s never a wrong time to have an open conversation about it with your partner—whether you’re married or not.

Ep. 388: Nutrition Advice You Can't Screw Up with Adam Bornstein May 26, 2023

We spent years on the dieting roller coaster, swinging back and forth from one extreme of, “I have to do this perfectly!” to, “I messed up, might as well eat everything!” It doesn’t have to be like that! That’s why we’re so excited to be having a conversation today with NYT Bestselling author, Adam Bornstein, about his new book, “You Can’t Screw This Up,” all about a new, science-backed approach to lasting weight loss. Getting healthy doesn’t have to be so black and white; you can still get takeout, eat ice cream, and enjoy your food and your life!

Ep. 387: The Drama in an Unfollow May 24, 2023

Maybe we’re taking social media a little too seriously, but getting an unfollow from someone you know irl feels like a stab in the back. Logically, we know social media isn’t “real” and people have the right to see whatever kind of posts they want, but that doesn’t stop us from getting our feelings hurt—or the reverse: feeling guilty when we’re the ones doing the unfollowing. We may be more connected to others than ever before, but there are no social rules and norms for online behavior and it’s got us feeling some type of way.

Ep. 386: Influencer Body Transformations May 19, 2023

We talk a lot about what influencer are and are not obligated to share, and when someone goes through a big body transformation, should they tell their following how they got there? Of course nobody owes anything to anyone, but when you make a career out of sharing your life online, the rules change. People look to the influencers they follow for advice, and if you’re using your body to sell a product, we think you should be upfront about how you got where you are. Honesty and authenticity always win out.

Ep. 385: Are We Too Judgmental? May 17, 2023

Are we too judgmental? We’ll be the first to admit that we might have judged more than our fair share in our younger years—not just judging others, but ourselves too. So much judgement comes from internal shame and a lack of empathy, and it can turn ugly quickly. But something has shifted as we’ve gotten older, learned about ourselves, and experienced more life. Instead of leading with judgement and projection of our insecurities, we try to keep a curious and compassionate heart in all of our interaction. We’re not perfect by any means, but when those hits of judgements come up now, we know to challenge those base-level reactions.

Ep. 384: The "Right" Time to Deal with Relationship Issues May 12, 2023

Relationships issues can come up at any time and we don’t always want to deal with that shit! But are we burying our heads in the sand or living in denial if we don’t want to face those issues right away? Sure there’s never really a “right” time to deal with things that come up in our relationships, but there’s definitely a “wrong” time. Besides, being able to take a moment to calm down and gain some perspective can really make those tough conversations easier, rather than having to deal with every little thing right away. The “right time” isn’t now, or later, or any time in between. The right time to handle relationship issues is whenever we fucking feel like it.

Ep. 383: Self-Importance on Social Media May 10, 2023

Social media is far from a new concept now and most of us have spent years building followings, businesses, and connections online. “Influencer” is an official job title now and while you certainly won’t hear us talking down about influencing as a career, sometimes there’s a level of… let’s call it self-importance, that we see a lot of influencers seem to have. We all know someone who makes 9 posts about the fact that they aren’t going to post anymore, or the person who claims everyone is asking for a link to their toaster (and we all know no one is). Social media has been a great force in our lives, but lately our relationship with it is starting to change. Maybe it’s age, or the algorithm, or maybe we’re just boring now. In any case, we’re getting real sick of that self-importance we see everywhere. What about you?

Ep. 382: Healthy Relationships start With Us with Emily Gough May 05, 2023

Maybe it seems counter-intuitive, but the quality of our relationships got a lot better after the end of our marriages. Shitty circumstances helped us to look inwards in new ways, and because of the personal growth we went through then, we’re a lot stronger now. Emily Gough knows this first-hand too, after a nearly decade long relationship ended because of her partner’s infidelity. After that life-changing moment, Emily turned her attention to understanding and growing healthy relationships, and now coaches others to do the same. Relationships with others can be some of the best catalysts for personal growth, but it all starts with the relationship we have with ourselves.

Ep. 381: The Dark Secrets of Influencers May 03, 2023

Some news broke recently about the cause of death of personal development mogul, Dave Hollis. The loss of Dave is tragic and heartbreaking for so many, but it got us thinking about the role of influencers and the lives they live in public versus the lives they’re living behind closed doors. Unhealthy and unsafe behaviors run rampant in the fitness and wellness industries. Are influencers morally obligated to tell you some of their less-than-perfect life choices? Do their bad choices negate the good things these influencer do to change peoples lives? And at what point does sharing your negative qualities actually help more people, in a way that hiding things can’t?

Ep. 380: Tap in to Your Feminine Energy to Save Your Relationship with Kelli Adame Apr 28, 2023

We have a very special guest on today to talk about a subject that might be a little controversial—you know how we love to stir up the pot. Kelli Adame is a relationship coach, therapist, and mentor (in fact, she’s been coaching Danny for years!) that helps men, women, and couples unlock the true nature of love by balancing their masculine and feminine energies. It may seem “old-fashioned” or even woo-woo at first, and we certainly bristled at the thought at first, but there’s a lot more to the masculine/feminine dynamic than meets the eye. Our Besties are high quality, hard-working women (and some men!) who deserve a partner who will treat them exactly how they deserve. Is the secret to attracting the perfect partner staring with your feminine energy? Let’s find out.

Ep. 379: Can Anger Be Useful? Apr 26, 2023

There’s some universal law of the internet (and maybe even just life in general) that means someone, somewhere is extremely angry about something at any given time. Rage has almost become a social currency, and some people like to say “if you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention.” The problem is, there will ALWAYS be something to be angry about, and it’s not doing us any good to always be raging. Anger is an emotion, not a moral obligation. At its best, is it really helping anyone? Can we channel our anger into action, rather than letting it fester until it consumes our lives?

Ep. 378: The Problems We Face Due to Our Relationships Apr 21, 2023

They say the best part of being in a relationship is having someone to solve problems with. But what they (whoever the hell “they” is) fail to mention is that the problems you’re facing are ones you wouldn’t be having if you were single. We love our partners, but it’s true that being in a relationship means you’re forced to face some of your deepest struggles and insecurities. We don’t shy away from conflict here, because deep down we know that every conflict we do have makes us into better people. But maaaaaybe sometimes we miss the fight-free days of being single.

Ep. 377: Following the Advice of "Success Influencers" Apr 19, 2023

Some of the most successful people have insane routines: 4am wakeup calls, cold plunges, raw meat diets, or any other clinically insane practice. If it works for them and they have a ton of success, does it follow that the rest of us should be trying out their routines? Yeah, you already know the answer: fuck that shit. Sure, some successful people are intense about their daily tasks, but there are other just-as-successful people who wake up and live their lives normally. You won’t gain success from the specific actions you take, it’s a mentality and a process. If you want to take a cold plunge, that’s great. But let’s get one thing clear, the success you gain isn’t from making yourself uncomfortable.

Ep. 376: Change Your Mindset to Change Your Life with Brad Bizjack Apr 14, 2023

We talk about “mindset” a lot here on the podcast, but “mindset” on its own is a meaningless concept without much context. That’s why this week we’re talking to self-proclaimed Mindset Strategist, Brad Bizjack. Brad started an online business, but never found much success until he decided to dig a little deeper and root out the subconscious beliefs that were holding him back. Now, he helps others do the same because Brad believes that every single person deserves to live the kind of life they thought was only possible in their dreams. We loved this conversation with Brad, and we know you will, too. The life you always wanted, the BEST life, is only one choice away.

Ep. 375: Haters, Trolls, and Angry Mobs... Oh My! Apr 12, 2023

We all know the internet is full of angry people who are ready to join the closest mob, but knowing it is a different thing than experiencing it. Jill recently had a post on Instagram take off and it brought a lot of angry—and let’s face it, insecure—people into her comments. Not to mention, there was some recent Insta-beef between Jill’s ex, Jade, and another influencer. For whatever reason, some people tend to thrive on internet-takedowns and passive aggressive comments, and unfortunately this causes a lot of people to give up, sometimes before they can even begin. It may feel like angry mobs are everywhere, but kindness and respect will always win out.

Ep. 374: Difficult Conversations with Friends Apr 08, 2023

You might feel like holding back on tough conversations is the best way to salvage friendships but we disagree. Bringing up disagreements or having a difficult discussion might cause some friction, and in worst case scenarios you may lose friendships, but it’s also an opportunity to create even deeper connections. If we don’t allow ourselves to be fully authentic, we can’t expect to be loved exactly for who we are. That means having the tough conversation—not to point fingers or blame or argue, but to come to an understanding and move forward with deeper respect and affection.

Ep. 373: Tips for Giving Up Drinking Apr 05, 2023

Whether it’s by choice or it’s “forced” upon you, cutting back on or giving up drinking entirely is easier said than done. Having a cocktail is so much more than just getting drunk—it’s social connection, it’s relaxation, and it’s cultural. A life change like pregnancy or health issues that necessitate sobriety can you leave you feeling isolated and resentful for all the fun you “can’t” have, but maybe there’s another way. Drinking is becoming less and less popular, and it’s probably a good choice for most of us to analyze our drinking habits anyways. Alcohol is fun, don’t get us wrong, but it’s not the only way to unwind and connect.

Ep. 372: The Sex Talk You Never Had with Your Parents with Vanessa and Xander Marin Mar 31, 2023

Talking about sex is a tricky situation. Most of us had a brief and most likely awkward sex-talk with our parents at some point, and were then left to figure out the rest by ourselves. Movies, books, and porn make up some of our first experiences with sex—how we should feel about it and what it should look like—which has left us all with a lot of baggage and confusion. Sex shouldn’t feel like pressure or performance, it should be fun! We were lucky enough to talk to sex therapist Vanessa Marin, and her business partner and husband, Xander Marin, about their work to destigmatize sex talk and keep the spark alive in sex lives everywhere!

People have different sleep schedules, sure, but isn’t it nice to have a dedicated moment of connection at the end of every day? And is it possible that incompatible sleep times means incompatibility in general? Let’s chat about it. (And if you’re curious How Danny snagged last-minute floor seats for Taylor Swift’s tour, you’ll definitely want to tune in!)

Ep. 370: The Paradox of Aging Mar 24, 2023

40 used to seem like an ancient age—practically dead already—but now that we’re there, we still find ourselves wondering what we’re gonna do when we grow up. There’s a lot of pressure placed upon us in our youth, and we found that once we reached 30, life got a lot more exploratory and a lot more fun. It’s been said that age is just a state of mind, and we believe it! You can kick and scream and hate getting old as much as you want, but you can have a lot more fun if you keep making new memories and look to all the best parts of getting older.

Ep. 369: Overcoming Burn-Out Mar 22, 2023

Whether in life or in business, there are seasons of quiet and there are seasons of busyness. When shit gets hectic, feelings of resentment start to build and burnout starts to loom closer and closer. You can’t always force your life to be “less busy” so how can you manage the feelings of burnout, so that you can live your own life without hating every single second of it? It’s #TheBestLife, not #TheBurntOut life, and we want to feel exited and refreshed to start our days. While life may not ever be perfect, there are a few tools we can use to deal with the stress and minimize feelings of burnout.

Ep. 368: Waiting For The Other Shoe to Drop Mar 17, 2023

Have you ever felt that unnerving sense that life was good—almost too good—and like something bad was going to happen at any second? Maybe it’s leftover hyper-vigilance from traumatic events, or maybe you’ve been conditioned to believe you don’t deserve to be happy. Whatever the cause, always expecting loss isn’t going to help you prevent it from happening. Your fears might be holding you back, or worse, you may be manifesting those fears directly into your life! Life is going to have really great moments, and some really shitty ones, too. Might as well spend all your energy looking forward to the great ones.

Ep. 367: The Pros and Cons of Breast Implants Mar 15, 2023

Hey, Breasties! —Er... Besties. We mean Besties. We have boobs on the brain because one of you wanted to know some more about implants: should you get them, should you not? Neither Jill nor Danny was blessed in the breast department, but only one of us has experience with implants. Getting your boobs done isn’t a simple decision and if you’re thinking about it, there’s a lot to think about first. There are positives and negatives to whatever you choose, but what matters most is to make sure you’re not getting implants just to put a bandaid on your deepest insecurities.

Ep. 366: Should We Be Marrying Up the Social Ladder? Mar 10, 2023

Hypergamy: it’s an old concept with a new (to us) name. Hypergamy is all about getting into relationships with a person of a higher economic or social status. We’ve all heard about this from period-pieces of the past, but it’s still a practice used by some women, even now. In hindsight it makes sense; women generally want to be taken care of, and the men with the most resources often have the best chance to “provide.” But this is the 1st century, and women don’t need men to be the bread-winners anymore. Is there a way to make the men in our lives take care of us, if not just financially?

Ep. 365: Making Menopause Your Bitch with Esther Blum Mar 08, 2023

Menopause comes for all of us, whether we’re ready for it or not. We’re all about embracing getting older, but shit, it would be nice to at least feel good about our bodies as we age! Today we’re chatting with Integrative RD + Menopause Expert,Esther Blum, about her new book, “See You Later, Ovulator” and how to make menopause your bitch. For so long, women have faced medical gaslighting around our hormones and what happens in our bodies through peri-menopause and beyond. Fuck that! It’s time to be our own advocates and get our hormones in check. Being a woman over 50 doesn’t mean we have to go bald or look like men anymore! We deserve to look and feel our best, no matter our age.

Ep. 364: How To Not Hate Your Changing Body Mar 03, 2023

Our relationships with our bodies is complicated and try as we might not to care, we still get hits of insecurity from time to time. Bodies change, and not always in ways we’re thrilled about. So when your body is getting you down, what do you do? We are all so much more than the way we look, and instead of hating your body for what it does or doesn’t look like, it might be time to show it some gratitude for what it can do. Nothing is forever, so even if you’re feeling like shit now, pick up a paintbrush, go for a walk, or even just lean in to your “winter” body.

Ep. 363: How to Be the Bigger Person Mar 01, 2023

As much as we all love being petty (and you know we’re good at it, too) there is something to be said about being the “bigger person.” While the un-evolved versions of ourselves might like pointing out when Brenda is acting like an idiot, that kind of negativity never brought out the best in anyone. Whether you realize it or not, people are looking to you to see how you act. Are you proud of the way you handle conflict? Do you respond to situations rather than react? Maybe it’s less “fun” tone the bigger person, but the way we show up in conflict matters.

Ep. 362: Is Your Non-Toxic Lifestyle Actually Toxic? Feb 24, 2023

There’s a ton of buzz going around about living a toxin-free life and (much like most things on the internet) it’s getting a little toxic. Yeah most things in this life are probably poison but my god, Brenda, can you just like chill for a sec? You probably aren’t going to die because your water isn’t perfectly filtered, or not everything you eat is organic, or your pants are a synthetic material, or—heaven forbid—you put on deodorant. It’s definitely for the best that we all pay attention to the things in, on, and around our bodies but it doesn’t help anyone to enforce non-toxic perfection through shame. We’ll do our best in whatever ways we can, and that’s okay! And Brenda? You can pry our deodorant out of our cold, dead hands.

Ep. 361: When Is Insta-Therapy Right For You? Feb 22, 2023

When shit hits the fan in life, we find ourselves scrambling for advice. But in a world where anyone can become an “Insta-therapist” there’s tons of conflicting advice online that can leave us more lost and confused than before. In these moments of confusion and vulnerability, we have to practice discernment and realize that what’s not for you is simply not for you. Instead, try focusing on simply taking care of yourself and tuning out all of the background noise. You got this!

Ep. 360: Losing Your Ex's Family After a Breakup Feb 17, 2023

Breakups are hard enough already, losing a person you love is one of the most painful human experiences. There’s a lot grief to be fat and managed, but one of the unspoken difficulties of a breakup has nothing to do with losing your partner: it’s losing their family, too. We get close with our partner’s parents, siblings, nieces and nephews, and even children and when you lose that person you lose everything that comes with them. Sometimes those relationships can be maintained, and sometimes they can’t. Either way, things will unfold the way they do, and it’s up to us to trust the experience as it happens.

Ep. 359: What it Means to Be Authentic Feb 15, 2023

There’s something so magnetic about a person who shows up authentically. There’s deeper trust built for the people who show off their ups and downs, their strengths and their weaknesses, the good times and the bad. None of us have it “together” all the time, and there’s something unnerving about people who seem too perfect to be true. Real trust and connection is built through showing up authentically, and that authenticity takes repetition and getting uncomfortable, just like growing a muscle.

Ep. 358: What Valentine's Day Means to You Feb 10, 2023

We’re just a few days out from everyone’s FAVORITE holiday: Valentine’s Day! Okay, obviously we’re joking because we can’t even think of a holiday that’s more polarizing. Hallmark-Holiday or not, it’s a day that carries a lot of meaning for some (maybe even you!) but unless you tell the people around you how it makes you feel, you’ll never get your needs met! Love is what you make of it, and so is February 14th. But you might want to make sure you know what that day means to your loved ones, too.

Ep. 357: The Fear of Being Included Feb 08, 2023

We’ve all heard of—and experienced—FOMO, but there’s a new acronym we’ve been feeling lately: FOBI, or the fear of being included. Maybe it’s a symptom of aging or being in relationships, but these days we just don’t feel like doing stuff like we used to. Our energy is precious and with the limited time we do have, is going to every party or dinner or event the best idea? Not so much anymore. We’re trading in our FOMO for FOBI and we like it better this way.

Ep. 356: You Have Daddy Issues Feb 03, 2023

You have Daddy issues. Probably. But don’t sweat it, we all do! Our fathers and mothers are the first two adults that show us how to act and what to expect from life, and most of us subconsciously tend to recreate exactly what we experience in childhood, or at least attempt to find the very opposite of it. We look for what’s familiar and often our partners look exactly like our main caregivers (hey, men aren’t immune to this, either!). But just because you *probably* have Daddy issues doesn’t mean it’s a death sentence or that you’re doomed to love junior versions of your dad forever… but you maaaay find yourself falling into some interesting patterns if you’re not careful.

Ep. 355: Competitive Insecurities Feb 01, 2023

For modern women (and men, and everyone!) insecurities seem to be a part of life. We pick up insecurities as children and those fears follow us around for decades to come. Unfortunately, these insecurities tend to become competitive: “you can’t feel ugly today because I’m uglier!” “That person has a way flatter ass than you!” Hey, we’re all entitled to feel bad about ourselves at some point, but why are we so caught up in feeling justified in our self-hatred? Maybe instead of policing why someone should or shouldn’t feel insecure, we could all try to love ourselves no matter what.

Ep. 354: [Not] Caring What Others Think Jan 28, 2023

Even the most confident among us get hit with feelings of inadequacy from time to time. Worry about what the “tribe” thinks about us is in our DNA, but at some point that concern stops being helpful. You deserve to be liked for all that you are, and if the people in your life don’t like that, then fuck those bitches! Kidding, of course, but also not kidding. You truly can’t be liked by every single person, and the only opinion that matters at the end of the day is yours. If YOU like you, then you’re not doing too bad.

Ep. 353: Defining Your Core Values Jan 25, 2023

Our value systems are deeply personal and influence almost everything we do in our lives. We all have core values, whether they’re obvious to us or not. Getting clear on what our values are can help us find direction in work, play, love, and life. It’s often said that you teach people how to treat you, and with a defined set of values, you get to set the tone for your interactions and future choices. Not all things in this life can be important, and when you know what your core values are, you have the freedom to focus on what really matters to you.

Why are values important? [1:59]

Your values guide your expectations and your business [5:55]

Ep. 352: Leaving A Relationship for the Unknown Jan 20, 2023

Relationships are tricky, and it’s normal to wonder what life might look like outside of the one you’re in. Things get even stickier when the person you’re with is the only person you’ve ever known. We had a listener bravely share her doubts and confusion surrounding her relationship and her feelings of curiosity about what lies beyond and we wanted to give this more thought. We all only have one life, and spending it less than satisfied only hurts us down the road, but is there a clear answer in a situation like this? Can you trust yourself enough to jump into the unknown?

Curiosity about what’s outside your relationship [1:16]

You can’t just make feelings go away [3:04]

We can want two different things at the same time [5:31]

Honesty is powerful [7:50]

Exploring open relationships [9:19]

Trusting yourself to handle whatever comes up [11:22]

Both people deserve to get their needs met [12:45]

Betraying yourself never leads to good outcomes [14:23]

You’ll know when you know [16:27]

Things turn out the way they’re meant to [18:28]

Ep. 351: Non-Consensual Coaching Jan 19, 2023

Everyone knows *that guy.* You know, the guy who comes up to you at parties (or makes comments on your social media) acting like a life coach, and telling you all the ways you’re doing life wrong. Yeah, that guy sucks. Hey we get it, we’re coaches too, and when you see someone doing something and you know there’s a better way, it’s only natural to try to help! But has unsolicited advice worked well in the history of anything? Life is a journey, and it’s for the best that we let people take their journeys at their own pace. Let’s keep coaching consensual.

Let people ask for help [3:21]

Well-intentioned tone-deafness [6:53]

Pulling status ruins connection [9:07]

Making assumptions about what others are going through [13:18]

The right and wrong time to put your coach hat on [14:59]

Finding connection before you coach [18:25]

Giving answers is less powerful than self discovery [20:37]

We don’t always know the better path [24:23]

Ep. 350: Has Vanity Sizing Gone Too Far? Jan 13, 2023

Everyone knows buying clothing as a woman is a goddamn zoo. What’s a small one one brand is a large in another, but a 7 in a third, and a 31 in another, and all of a sudden you have no idea what size you are in any brand and you just want to buy some damn pants. Clothing retailers are known to implement “vanity sizing,” aka, labelling clothes as smaller sizes to make the buyer feel better about themselves. Why the hell are we even letting clothing sizes determine our self worth anyways?! Yeah, we live in a society where people are unfairly judged by how much space they take up, and it sucks! So why are we perpetuating that bullshit to ourselves? Sizes should be meant to help us find clothes that fit us, let's take the judgement out of it.

Ep. 349: When Does Self-Development Become Self-Obsession? Jan 12, 2023

It seems like everyone is an Insta-Therapist these days. People are looking for diagnoses, taking personality tests, uncovering trauma, and deeply psychoanalyzing themselves… but to what end? Sure, life is really hard sometimes, and sure understanding why you are the way you are can make you feel a lot less alone, but that kind of self-awareness only helps when you decide to make a change for yourself. Self-discovery is important, but only if you let it fuel you to make better choices in the future. After all, you’re not the main character of the universe. Over-identifying with your past can’t make a better future.

This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

Can self-development turn into self-obsession? [4:39]

Creating an identity around diagnoses and traits [8:14]

You can choose to depersonalize the past [11:17]

It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy [15:53]

A form of self-discovery [16:40]

An explanation doesn’t take away responsibility [19:16]

You can’t change the past, but you can let go [21:45]

The chicken or the egg? [24:03]

Instagram buzzwords [26:07]

Your perception is always a choice [29:03]

Making a new decision based on your self-awareness [33:00]

Ep. 348: Is It Healthy to Have Fights in Your Relationship? Jan 06, 2023

We’ve heard some people claim that the “real” test of a good relationship is one without any fights. Yeah, we’re gonna call BS on that one. If your relationship is fight-free, great! But when you’re building a life with someone, it’s normal to find yourself butting heads. A healthy relationship is less so defined by a lack of fighting, and more by having productive and respectful fights. When you disagree with your partner and practice vulnerability, you get the chance to come even closer together, and to strengthen the bond you share. That sounds like a gift to us.

The test of a good relationship [2:56]

The gift in disagreeing [3:31]

Ep. 347: How to Make (& Keep) New Year's Resolutions Jan 04, 2023

New year, new you? New Year's resolutions have a bad rap, but goal and intention setting can be potent tools for growth, as long as they’re used correctly. Some people like to set a word to focus on for the year, others like to list out every little thing they’d like to change about themselves, but we sit somewhere in the middle. Those things are great, but a goal or intention is only as useful as the actions you take to back those things off. And if you fall off the wagon, it’s better to get back on than giving up entirely! If you’re thinking about setting some resolutions this year, you’ve gotta back it up with action.

Setting an intention for the year in a word [4:39]

Feelings + actions = intentions [7:03]

Excitement isn’t a solution [9:35]

Biting off more than you can chew [13:20]

How bad do you want it? [17:46]

Get clinical about your goals [20:22]

Ep. 346: Reflections on 2022 Dec 30, 2022

Another year older, and fingers crossed, we’re another year wiser. Even if we aren’t fans of resolution setting, we do like to take some time at the end of the year to reflect on all the things we’ve learned over the last 365 days. If you want to make 2023 a better and happier year, it’s important to take stock of all the best and the worst parts of 2022, so you can walk into the new year with a fresh mindset!

The ways we’ve changed in the past 5 years [2:06]

Ep. 345: What Happens When Your Mentor Changes Dec 29, 2022

We’re big fans of mentorship here, and we’ve seen the way it has impacted our lives for the better. But hey, just like us, our mentors are people too! That means sometimes we outgrow them, or their practices change, or maybe you just don’t agree on fundamental things anymore. Whatever the case is, you don’t have to write everything off that you learned from them. And hey, sometimes those changes can be great! We’ve had former coaches and clients become dear friends, too. People change, us included, and it doesn’t have to be a bad thing.

Ep. 344: Relationship Week: How to Disagree (And Still Be Friends) Dec 23, 2022

Everything feels more than just a little contentious these days. People fight on the internet and cut off family or friends over the smallest disagreements. If you ask us, it’s just a little immature. Nobody has to like every single thing you do, or have the exact same opinions! Believe it or not, there’s a way to disagree and still be friends—even on “bigger” issues. Even Danny and Jill don’t agree on everything.

Everyone is in their own online echo-chamber [1:40]

Losing friends over different opinions [2:53]

Engaging in the conversation makes us better [6:32]

Is it immature to cut people out of your life? [7:15]

It doesn’t have to be a “hell yes” or a “hell no” [14:47]

To be (or not to be) vaccinated [19:06]

Self-righteousness and nuance [23:23]

Understand who YOU are and your own actions [25:50]

Respecting opinions, even if you don’t agree [32:10]

It takes emotional maturity [35:34]

Ep. 343: Relationship Week: Overcoming Food Scarcity and Obsession Dec 21, 2022

To mark the beginning of the holiday season, we are coming at you this week with 4 previously published episodes all about relationships—with the people around us and the food we eat! This time of year can be stressful, and building boundaries requires constant effort, and we hope this refresher course will help you stay on track with YOUR Best Life as we round out 2022.

Yes, food is fuel but it is so much more than that. Food is community and connection, and honestly, sometimes that shit is simply delicious. We used to be those kinds of people who weighed every ounce of food and cried if you asked for a bite—aka, we were obsessed and dysfunctional. Now we can share food without a second thought and it no longer has the same kind of power over us. If you’re stuck in an unhealthy relationship with your food, know that food freedom is possible! It takes a little mindfulness and a lot of practice, but we’re here on the other side, waiting for you to join us (and share a French fry or two).

Food obsession on competition diets [2:32]

Food scarcity dysfunction [4:11]

Overcoming scarcity by sharing and mindfulness [7:10]

Food can be a way to connect [10:10]

Are you putting food on a pedestal? [12:43]

Honoring your natural hunger and activity levels [17:06]

Learning to listen to your own body [21:45]

The happiness we have from food freedom [26:04]

This time of year can be stressful, and building boundaries requires constant effort, and we hope this refresher course will help you stay on track with YOUR Best Life as we round out 2022.

A lot of living the Best Life means having open and honest communication with those around you, but sometimes those conversations are difficult AF. If you need to talk with your loved ones, friends, coworkers, or team about something that might be unpleasant, and you need to know where to begin… Start here. Jill has a framework to share that she developed through tons of hard conversations she had to have as she navigated her ex-husband’s infidelity.

Ep. 341: The Art of Listening Dec 15, 2022

Danny-J has a special skill, and it’s one we could stand to learn from. Danny might just be the world’s best listener. No matter who she’s with or where she is, people just seem to end up telling her their life stories (even Uber drivers, true story) and finding deep connection with her. Being a great listener isn’t as intuitive to most people, but better connections can lead to better experiences and even better friendships. It’s an art form, and one you can learn, too. It all starts with working on our own judgements and projections, and leaning into curiosity. Basically, you just need more therapy. Maybe we all do.

Curiosity builds life experiences [5:31]

Take an Interest in what interests others [8:09]

Asking open-ended questions [10:45]

Coming from a coach’s perspective [13:22]

Ep. 340: Changing Goals As We Age Dec 10, 2022

The end of year is a perfect time for reflection, and lately our priorities are shifting. The older we get, the more our goals, priorities, and perspectives change. And it’s not just us, we see it happening all around us every day. Life has many seasons and as you get older, too, you might find yourself craving something a little faster or something a little slower than you’ve had before.

Ep. 339: Relationships with Age Gaps Dec 08, 2022

They say age is just a number, but let’s be honest, it’s an important number, especially when it comes to relationships. There are some age gaps that feel “okay” and some that just seem wrong, but is it all arbitrary? Danny and Jill were the younger partner in their previous relationships, and now they’re on the other side. Age isn’t something to be ignored, but it might be possible that there are more important things to base a relationship on.

Age-gap relationships [1:19]

Ep. 338: Finding A Great Travel Buddy Dec 02, 2022

We love to travel, and by now we’re pretty expert at it. But just because we’ve perfected the art, doesn’t mean the people we sometimes travel with have, and let’s be real here: that shit is stressful. Everyone has a different travel technique, different wants on a vacation, and different ways to handle stress. If you want to travel with a loved one and still love them by the end of the trip, it’ll take a whole lot of communication and more than likely, a whole lot of planning, too.

Traveling with a partner is hard! [2:21]

Being easy-going and adaptable [3:30]

Your values and compromise [5:41]

What’s the goal of the trip? [8:21]

Ep. 337: The "Right" Way to Show PDA Nov 30, 2022

Everyone has an opinion on PDA. Maybe you love getting some but hate watching others do it, or maybe you feel too self-conscious to ever think about it! You might even think that couples who practice some “power” PDA are over-compensating for something (and hey, you wouldn’t be alone in thinking that). In our experience, people generally love to see love, but at what point does PDA go from adorable to deplorable? Do public figures have an obligation to keep their brands PDA free? Do you need PDA from your partner to feel loved? As in most things in this life, what’s true for us won’t be true for you!

“Power” PDA on social media [1:06]

Personal PDA preferences [2:52]

The difference of doing vs. watching [5:55]

It’s not unprofessional to show affection [9:18]

Is PDA projecting? [17:00]

Ep. 336: The Things We No Longer Buy Nov 26, 2022

It’s Black Friday which means we’re all inundated with sales of every kind and it got us thinking about all the things we used to spend our money on, but don’t anymore. We spent our 20’s body-obsessed and image focused which meant that most of our money and time was spent on being the skinniest versions of ourselves. We can’t say it was money well spent, but we’re glad there are more important things to us, now.

An obsession with gossip magazines [1:42]

Sugar-free gum and artificial sweeteners [6:59]

Ep. 335: Intrusive Questions During the Holidays Nov 23, 2022

One of the things we dread the most about the holidays are those intrusive questions and comments we all seem to get: When are you getting married? Have you thought about having kids? It looks like you’ve gained some weight! We know what you really want to tell Aunt Helen is just to fuck right off, but if you’re looking to keep the peace, there’s a better way. Your family may not understand your life or choices, but you don’t have to let it get to you.

Getting asked intrusive questions [5:47]

People placing their values upon you [6:38]

Ep. 334: Emptying Your JAR For Relationship Harmony Nov 19, 2022

It’s the little things that kill a relationship. Judgements, assumptions, and resentments built up over time are silent killers, but just because those feelings have been built up doesn’t mean your relationship is unsalvageable. It’s time to empty out that JAR. Create a safe space for you and your parter, be willing to share openly, listen without judgment, and you might be surprised just how far that takes you.

Ep. 333: Working Through The Trauma of the Past Few Years Nov 17, 2022

Today’s episode is a bit more serious, but a much needed conversation. We all experience traumatic events in our lives, and the past few years we’ve seen trauma on a global scale. In addition to all that’s going on in the world, Danny-J has been through enough of her own, personal trauma that’s left her feeling empty, un-motivated, and confused. We’re just here to say, it’s okay, and it’s possible to work through it.

Ep. 332: The Things We No Longer Care About Nov 12, 2022

There are things 15, 10, and even 5 years ago that used to be the most important things in the world to us, and now, we just don’t give a shit. Maybe its age, experience, or a little of both, but some of our concerns of the past just don’t matter anymore. Sometimes it’s terrifying to let go of a past version of you that cares a lot about how your ass looks in those pants, or how many hours of cardio you did today, or what your neighbor down the street thinks of you. It mattered to you then, sure, but it doesn’t have to matter forever. It’s okay to move on and become a new version of you!

Ep. 331: If We Were Dating Again Nov 09, 2022

It’s been a few years since we’ve been on any dating apps (and thank goodness for that!) but we’ve been wondering lately… what the hell is even going on over there? Are dating apps done? What we do if we were still on them? We know as well as anyone that dating is a cluster-fuck of a situation, it’s a lawless land. But after years of trial and mostly error, there’s a few things we’d do differently if we were still on the dating scene.

Dating app changes [2:55]

Meeting up right away [5:16]

Spending less time on apps [7:27]

Ep. 330: The Pressure of the Holidays Nov 04, 2022

Now that it’s November, the holiday season is just around the corner and with the holidays comes a lot of stress, expectations, and obligations. Fuck that. Just because someone said you “should” spend the holidays with your family (who you might not even like!) doesn’t mean you have to! If it takes away from your peace and joy, it doesn’t have to be a priority. You may end up having a few difficult conversations and you may end up breaking a few traditions, but there’s always time to make some of your own.

Ep. 329: Compromise in A Relationship Nov 02, 2022

Relationships require compromise—it’s the price we pay to be with the people we love. Compromise can be difficult, and it’s not always 50/50. But when you spend a lot of time with someone, you might find have very different wants, needs, and expectations that aren’t always communicated clearly. Maybe this means you’ll have to spend some time with relatives you don’t like cry much, and maybe this means your partner will have to go to a Shania Twain concert he never really wanted to go to in the first place. There’s one thing we know for sure: if you want compromise, you’re going to have to communicate.

Ep. 328: Your Instagram Following Owes You Nothing Oct 28, 2022

We’ve noticed a trend of self-righteousness and victimhood on Instagram and it isn’t the best look. If you have any sort of following online, that’s great! But at the same time, that audience doesn’t owe you shit. Post what makes you happy, of course, but it’s also not your followers’ “fault” if you aren’t getting as many likes or if no one buys the product you’re selling. If they don’t like what they see, they have the right to unfollow you, just like you have the right to post anything you want. No one owing anyone anything. And we love it that way.

E. 327: Bad Break-Up Behavior Oct 26, 2022

If you knew us in 2016-2018, no you didn’t. Jokes aside, the years following our divorces were difficult in a lot of ways and we coped with the pain in ways not necessarily in line with our best selves… and that’s normal! Break-ups and divorces turn your world upside down, and sometimes you need to post a few thirst traps and get drunk a few times (okay, maybe more than just a few) to get yourself through it. But you’ll be okay in the end, even if you do some things you think are cringey in the future.

Ep. 326: I'll Start When I'm Skinnier Oct 22, 2022

Have you ever postponed starting something because you felt “too fat”? Or maybe you won’t let anyone take a picture of you or you won’t wear an outfit you love until you’re thinner. We won’t be the ones to tell you how to live your life, but we can tell you this: life doesn’t magically start when you lose weight. And besides, thinness doesn’t equate to confidence anyway! So don’t postpone happiness. You can always start a weight loss journey, but don’t wait until it’s completed to start living your life.

Ep. 325: Should You Get A Sleep Divorce From Your Partner? Oct 19, 2022

For those of us in relationships, sleeping in the same bed as your partner is expected. Separate beds or rooms seems like the telltale sign of “trouble in paradise” and a warning of imminent break up. Buuuut maybe you love the shit out of your partner, but don’t have much love for their snoring. Or maybe you tend to hog the covers, while your partner’s sleep-talking keeps you up all night. Could separate bedrooms solve it all? Sleep is important! And we don’t know about you, but when we’re cranky, we tend to lash out at our partners the most. Maybe a Sleep Divorce is just the thing to save your relationship from growing resentment.

Ep. 324: Should We Try to Be "Power Couples"? Oct 14, 2022

We’ve all put a couple we know up on a pedestal or labelled them as a “power couple” only for their relationship to come crashing down and everything we thought we knew got turned on its head—hey, that’s what happened to our marriages! There’s so much attention placed on “power couples” but is that even the kind of relationship dynamic we truly want? Maybe it is for you, and you do you! But in our experience, some “power couples” end up more of a business partnership than anything else. And we don’t know about you, but we’d like to keep spreadsheets out of the bedroom.

Ep. 323: Sharing Your "Body Count" Oct 13, 2022

If honestly is sharing everything with your partner, does that include the number of people you’ve slept with before the relationship? If it’s not relevant to the relationship now, we don’t think it needs to be told, and it doesn’t mean lying, either. There are some things that you just don’t need to know in this life, and it the knowledge of your partner’s “body count” hurts you, maybe it’s better not to share.

Does this affect the relationship now? [6:37]

Honesty is inclusive [9:01]

Ep. 322: Quiet Quitting Your Relationship Oct 08, 2022

We talked about quiet quitting your job, but are you also quiet quitting your relationship? Relationships are never easy or simple, and sometimes you may feel yourself mentally checking out. A relationship shouldn’t always be hard work, but only you know if coasting by is tolerable or if it might be time to end things—maybe it’s time to quit a little louder.

Ep. 320: How to Face Imposter Syndrome Oct 01, 2022

Impostor Syndrome seems to be a part of the human experience, but that doesn’t make it less shitty. Whether its work, relationships, or somewhere in between, you’re not alone for feeling like a fraud sometimes. No matter how much we feel like an impostor, however, if we really want to be living the Best Life, we can’t let our fears hold us back. Maybe you can’t feel confident right away, but you’ll gain that confidence some day and in the mean time? Fake it ’til you make it, baby!

Ep. 319: Creating Conscious Leadership with Elizabeth Faye Sep 28, 2022

Whether we know it or not, every single one of us is a leader in some capacity. And with leadership comes a lot of responsibility. So many of us have been taught that leadership looks one specific way, but it’s no longer true. Leadership can be conscious, it can be purpose-driven, and it can just as divinely feminine as you are. All of the tools you need to lead are already inside you, are you ready to take charge?

Ep. 318: Endless Resourcefulness Is Possible Sep 23, 2022

Feelings of scarcity happen to even the most abundant thinkers. But no matter how stuck we might feel, it’s important to remember that there’s an endless amount of resourcefulness inside all of us. Maybe it sounds a little woo-woo to you (we like to think of it as just a single “woo”) but our thoughts really do create our realities, and you can always choose to see life from another angle, dig deep inside yourself, and create new opportunities every day. Because it won’t truly be the Best Life, until you believe it is.

Ep. 317: A Quiet Quitting Epidemic Sep 21, 2022

Are you “Quiet Quitting” your job? There’s a “new” trend where people aren’t putting in extra effort at their desk jobs buuuut it doesn’t really seem new to us. If “quiet quitting” is what you call it, then we were quiet quitting over a decade ago before we became entrepreneurs. Working a desk job is often monotonous and thankless, and it’s not a simple thing to keep employees engaged. Not everyone is a go-getter, and maybe that’s okay. People have been phoning it in at their jobs for decades, so is this something we should all worry about?

Ep. 316: Is the Coaching Industry a Scam? Sep 17, 2022

We’ve been coached and coached others countless times over our careers and lives and know just how powerful the right coach is. So you can imagine our shock when almost 70% of Jill’s Twitter audience claimed that the coaching industry is a scam. Look, there are good and bad coaches of every kind, but consumers aren’t stupid. No one is being forced to hire a coach they don’t trust, nor should you! Coaching can ignite your business or your life when done right, and doesn’t that sound amazing?

Ep. 315: Are Women Waiting Too Long to Have Babies? Sep 14, 2022

We don’t often feel triggered by stuff, but we saw an interview clip recently of two men discussing how women are being “tricked” into thinking they can have their careers before their families, only to realize it’s too late to have a baby. Ummmm WTF. Maybe we’re the wrong ones, but from everything we’ve seen, that’s just not true. As women, we are acutely aware of our own biological clocks and when we don’t have kids, there’s usually a reason why. No one is being tricked. Some people don’t have kids and regret it, but some people DO have kids and regret it. Either way, it’s up to YOU to own whatever choice you make.

Are women being “tricked” into having babies too late? [1:24]

Mistakes vs. Choices vs. Life circumstances [3:31]

Women are aware of our body clocks [6:43]

Regret is a choice [8:12]

People blame their kids for holding them back [13:28]

You can have whatever you want! [19:28]

Don’t have kids just in case you “might” regret it [20:28]

Don’t be afraid to ask yourself difficult questions [23:34]

Ep. 314: Feeling Jealous of Your Partner's Ex Sep 09, 2022

Comparison is the thief of joy, but that doesn’t make it any less likely for us to do it, especially in our romantic relationships. Dating is enough to make anyone insecure, and once you throw your partner’s exes into the mix, things get even stickier. There will always be something to feel insecure about, but don’t forget how amazing you are, too. Your partner is with you for a reason, and they split with their ex for a reason too! Insecurity happens, but don’t let it get in the way of your Best Life.

Understanding why your partner ended things with their ex [3:02]

Removing the “threat” by seeing the ex as a person [4:25]

Things end for a reason [7:14]

Flip the switch: do you still want to be with your exes? [8:36]

Jealousy of an ex’s current partner [9:09]

There’s always something you can feel insecure about [11:55]

Remind yourself why you’re amazing [13:20]

Someone out there is jealous of you [15:57]

You have to take your partner’s words at face value [17:00]

Don’t let comparison ruin the current relationship [19:04]

Ep. 313: Dealing with Adrenal Crash Sep 07, 2022

We’ve spent many years over-exercising and under-fueling our bodies, and our hormones paid the price. At our most-exercise obsessed, in our most-lean bodies, we felt our worst: tired, hungry, and irritable all the time. If you’re feeling that way too, chances are your adrenals are crashing and it’s time for a reset. It won’t be simple and it’s going to take way longer than you want, but if you want to get back to feeling your best, you have to start prioritizing more than just exercise.

It’s going to take longer than you think [5:34]

You have to change your mentality [7:35]

Rest, rebuild, recondition [9:10]

You can’t just push through adrenal fatigue [9:57]

Make sleep your number 1 priority [12:45]

You can always go back to the old way (you won’t want to) [14:21]

Small additions make a huge difference [19:08]

Your stress might be causing more damage [21:06]

Are you really the best version of yourself? [25:35]

You won’t know until you know [29:14]

Ep. 312: Ketamine (& Other Non-Traditional) Treatments for Depression Sep 02, 2022

If you’ve been a long-time listener to the podcast, you may recall that Danny has had life long struggles with her mental health. Out of a desire not to be taking medication forever (side note: there is nothing wrong with taking medicine for mental health!), Danny has tried a few non-traditional methods for treatment: ayahuasca, psilocybin, and most recently ketamine. We wanted to share & discuss these experiences with all of you, and share a part of life that isn’t frequently discussed, but deeply impactful and becoming for common in the treatment of mental health issues.

Danny’s mental health history [1:09]

Experimenting with non-traditional methods [5:54]

Ketamine treatments and assisted breath work [8:04]

The treatment experience [10:27]

Healing needs to be mainstream [21:07]

Could Big Pharma find a way to exploit these treatments? [23:49]

Different treatments have different results [26:07]

Everyone needs something different [28:42]

Traditional meds are still great! [34:15]

Ep. 311: We Have Insecurities, Too Aug 31, 2022

We’ve done a lot of work to face our own insecurities, and for the most part, we’re very comfortable and confident with ourselves. Despite our best efforts, we still feel the sting of insecurity sometimes. Bodies, brains, businesses… it’s easy to compare. But insecurities aren’t objective truth, and when you own your own shit, there’s no space left to feel threatened. That’s the Best Life.

Even the most confident people have insecurities [2:33]

Insecurities aren’t objective [6:51]

Looking for connection rather than competition [8:51]

Everyone has their own insecurities [12:18]

Own who you are [13:15]

Why are we threatened rather than inspired? [13:47]

Your feelings of intimidation are on you [16:22]

Your projections can hurt people [17:58]

Ep. 310: Feeling Abundance in a Recession Aug 26, 2022

We are officially in a recession. The idea of a recession alone can get people closing their wallets and preparing for the worst… but it doesn’t have to be that way. Abundance is possible no matter what the economy is looking like, and it all begins with our mindsets and choosing to invest in ourselves. There’s a lot of uncertainty in the world, but there’s one thing you can always rely on: yourself.

Scarcity begets scarcity [1:34]

Knowing when it’s time to spend money [4:24]

Be more mindful of the small things [9:18]

Investing in yourself has infinite ROI [11:30]

What can you do to create abundance? [15:04]

We second guess ourselves more than our material goods [19:09]

Be the best at what you do [21:25]

Now is the best time to invest in yourself [24:14]

Ep. 309: When Marketing Becomes Manipulation Aug 24, 2022

We know the power of coaching when it comes to building an online business, both as coaches ourselves, and as people who invest in coaching. But there’s a new trend of coaches and marketers who are demanding high-level investment without much information before the purchase (and sometimes even after!). The idea is that a big investment alone will provide a big mental transformation. Yeah… we call bullshit on that. Maybe it works for someone, but we think a coach needs to earn your dollars, not just demand them.

Investment as an act of faith in yourself [6:13]

Marketing as manipulation [9:51]

Does it work for some people? [12:07]

Your message will resonate with the right person [13:17]

Ep. 308: Why Turning Your Hobbies Into Businesses is A Bad Idea Aug 19, 2022

Everyone needs a hobby, but should every hobby be monetized? We’ve all heard the saying, “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” We call bullshit on that. Yes, we love what we do most of the time, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have moments where we hate it juuuust a little. That’s true of any hobby-turned-business; when you start to put pressure on something you love, you might feel a little less joy from it. So maybe you can make a little side income from your photography or knitting passion, but that doesn’t mean it has to be your full-time job.

The bell shaped curve of loving what you’re good at [3:10]

Pressure changes the dynamic [6:59]

Should you turn your hobbies into a business? [9:26]

Your hobbies should re-energize you [11:13]

You won’t just get to do your hobby all day [14:29]

Ep. 307: To Rest or Not to Rest? Aug 17, 2022

Rest is super important, especially in a society that’s always pressuring us to do more… buuuuut sometimes you just don’t want (or need!) it. When is the right time to rest, how much should you take, and how do you even know if you need it in the first place? We hate to say it, but sometimes you kind of need to earn your rest. It’s all about knowing what season of life and business you’re in, and deciding from there. More isn’t necessarily better, and that goes for work AND rest.

An internal and societal pressure to do more [4:29]

When you want to keep working rather than rest [6:09]

Ep. 306: The Pros & Cons of Rituals and Routines Aug 12, 2022

There are a lot of mentors and gurus out in the personal development space touting their specific routines and rituals as a pathway to success. Sure, a consistent routine might be beneficial for you, but no amount of cold showers on infrared light therapy at 4am is going to change your life. Sometimes too rigid of a routine can interfere with your Best Life along the way. Routines can be great, but there’s some benefit to going without, too. What are the things that truly push you forward? Focus on those.

Is your routine getting in the way of you doing shit? [2:10]

Routines can help you stay on track [4:37]

Ep. 305: What Makes A Marriage A Failure? Aug 10, 2022

What makes a marriage a failure? Are people who get married and divorced shortly after somehow less than the rest of us? Of course not! Most people aren’t getting married knowing it will end, and there’s no way anyone can know the inner workings of a marriage, anyways. And a long marriage isn’t necessarily a happy or healthy one, either! All that matters is the happiness and personal growth of the people directly involved in the marriage. That seems like true success.

Is an ended marriage a failure? [2:26]

Most people don’t want a divorce [5:10]

How long does the honeymoon phase really last? [6:38]

Ep. 304: Are You a Failure for Hiring Out Chores? Aug 05, 2022

Nobody likes putting away laundry. Well, maybe you do. But it’s a chore we hate, and there’s probably something you hate doing (or just don’t have time for) too. At some point, you have to stop doing everything by yourself! Hiring someone to do your dishes, or mop your floors, or watch your kids doesn’t make you a failure, it just means you have more important shit to do! That’s the Best Life. Hiring out the inane tasks—whatever they may be—to save yourself the mental energy and spend time on what really matters to you.

When is time to stop doing everything yourself? [1:06]

Someone loves doing the shit you hate [2:29]

Saving time or saving money [4:24]

Is “martyrdom” a generational or gendered thing? [6:25]

Ep. 303: Differing Money Mindsets in Your Relationship Aug 03, 2022

Money is a sensitive subject. For most of us, the way we think about, save, and spend money comes straight from our childhood and our parents’ habits. Then, when we start to factor in a partner’s money habits, things start to get even more complicated. Maybe one of you saves every penny, while the other loves to spend on the finer things. What we do know is that nothing changes if you don’t talk about it. So if you and your partner are in need of a Money-Mindset-Makeover, it might be time to have a few hard conversations.

Our money behaviors often come from childhood [4:08]

Savers vs. spenders [6:08]

Ep. 302: How We've Stayed Friends and Business Partners Over 300 Episodes Jul 29, 2022

We’re 300 (and 2) episodes in! We’ve always joked about running out of things to talk about, and we finally did. Only a little kidding about that. Some of our best conversations come from our deep friendship, and that’s something we’ve been able to maintain over the past 5 years through relationships old and new, moves to different cities, business decisions, family matters, and everything in between. Finding and keeping friends is harder than it seems, but here’s how we keep ours going strong. Because even after all this time, we’re still Best Friends living the Best Life.

We’ve run out of things to say [2:49]

Ep. 301: Being Wrong Isn't the End of the World Jul 27, 2022

Making a mistake isn’t the end of the world (even if it really feels like it.) A lot of children are conditioned to fear “messing up” and those children turn into perfectionist adults. Sure, perfectionism might take you “far” places, but at some point, that same perfectionism is going to stifle your creativity and keep you stuck in the same places. If you want to go even farther, you have to learn to embrace your mistakes and give yourself grace when you’re wrong or you’ve messed up. You’re tougher than you know, and even if you are wrong sometimes, everything is going to be just fine.

We’re conditioned to fear making mistakes [0:58]

Perfectionism makes you fragile [2:48]

Imperfection is a productivity system [6:00]

Having to be “perfect” stifles your creativity [6:54]

Growth requires other people [13:02]

Resiliency takes you farther than perfectionism [14:32]

Ep. 300: The Negativity in Body Positivity Jul 22, 2022

The body positivity movement has been life-changing for so many people. Bodies come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and we ALL deserve to love ourselves, however we look. But we’ve noticed a weird trend, where body positivity turns… well, negative. Now if you show up online as a thin person, you’re shaming people who aren’t. Or if you express interest in losing some pounds or gaining some muscle, you “don’t love yourself.” The body positivity movement is incredible in a lot of ways, but something is wrong when we’re still focused on what “weight” means, rather than the act of being healthy, however that looks. As in most things, the best way to live a life you love is to worry about your own journey, and let others live theirs.

The line between body positivity and accepting unhealthy lifestyles [1:20]

Why do you give a fuck what someone else looks like? [3:48]

Shame never motivated anyone [5:32]

Get right with YOUR journey [7:31]

We’re focused on the wrong enemy [9:28]

Promoting health as en end result [11:47]

If someone wants to be skinnier, that’s okay! [16:46]

Ep. 299: The Grass Is Always Greener (Until It Isn't) Jul 20, 2022

The grass on the other side of the fence always looks greener… until you get over there and it’s covered in ants or dog shit, or maybe it was just spray painted green. And at some point, you’re still going to have to water and mow it. The grass may look greener, but that doesn’t make it “better.” Spoiler alert: we aren’t actually talking about grass. We’re talking about everything: relationships, jobs, friends, homes, you name it. It can be so easy to compare the same old things that we have to whatever is shiny and new. And maybe that is what you want… but maybe you can learn to appreciate the grass you have, too.

New things are fun, but they lack depth [5:42]

Understanding where you are in life [7:57]

Owning the value of your own choices [10:30]

If you want something else, try to cultivate it with what you have [13:15]

Working through your “issues” will always help you [17:20]

What you covet might not even be real [21:11]

The answer is always to talk about your needs [24:31]

Make the conscious choice to choose what you have [28:54]

Your perception is always your choice [34:19]

Getting caught up in our emotions [36:03]

Ep. 298: Who Are You Posting For? Jul 16, 2022

When you have a personal brand or online business, you get a lot of comments from the peanut gallery—and by that, we mean that strangers feel like they get a say on what you post. Some times we get accused of posting pictures of ourselves for male attention. We definitely aren’t, but even if that were true… who gives a fuck? Your social media, your rules. Maybe what we post can be a little polarizing at times, but that’s how we’ve found amazing people like you who really GET us. So be a little polarizing sometimes. You’ll find yourself surrounded by the right people.

Who are you posting for? [4:24]

Internalized misogyny and objectification [6:41]

Posting for external validation [9:50]

Energy and intention matter [12:38]

Ep. 297: Shiny Object Syndrome in Business Jul 13, 2022

If you’re brand new to business, there are a million different things you could be doing at any given time. You might be falling prey to shiny-object syndrome, just chasing after whatever seems like it’ll bring you success the fastest. But if you keep changing things up without any real commitment, you’ll never know what really works for you. Just like you wouldn’t switch from making cake to pie halfway through the recipe, you shouldn’t shuffle your business around every so often.

Ep. 296: Overcoming Food Scarcity and Dysfunction Jul 09, 2022

Yes, food is fuel but it is so much more than that. Food is community and connection, and honestly, sometimes that shit is simply delicious. We used to be those kinds of people who weighed every ounce of food and cried if you asked for a bite—aka, we were obsessed and dysfunctional. Now we can share food without a second thought and it no longer has the same kind of power over us. If you’re stuck in an unhealthy relationship with your food, know that food freedom is possible! It takes a little mindfulness and a lot of practice, but we’re here on the other side, waiting for you to join us (and share a French fry or two).

Ep. 295: Supporting a Choice You Disagree With Jul 06, 2022

Have you ever felt emotionally hijacked when a loved one told you a choice they made that you didn’t agree with? Or maybe you’re the person who’s friends or family seem to judge every action you take. Even though someone’s choices rarely have anything to do with us, it can be a struggle not to take it personally. Like most things in life, it’s best to stay in your own lane as much as possible, and in the end, you’ll be a lot happier and a lot more free because of it.

Ep. 294: The Threat of "Overly Confident" Women Jul 01, 2022

We’re all about female empowerment and confidence building here on The Best Life, but sometimes when we see another woman out there crushing it, our egos take a little hit. Why is that? Maybe we feel a little threatened, or maybe our societal conditioning tells us that women are supposed to be meek and insecure. Frankly, that’s bullshit. There’s a different way forward, and it starts with getting obsessed with your own life first. There’s plenty of confidence for all of us.

Ep. 293: Abortion, Adoption, and Autonomy Jun 29, 2022

Last week, the Supreme Court of the United States overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade case that guaranteed the federal right to an abortion, effectively criminalizing abortion in several states across America. You asked our opinion, so here it is: it’s bullshit. Jill has never been pregnant, Danny has, and gave her daughter up for adoption, but their opinions are the same. A women should have the right to choose. She has the right to bodily autonomy. Adoption is not “the answer” and abortion is not caused by carelessness or a lack of care for human life. Banning abortion won’t save any lives, it only causes more hurt.

Abortions won’t stop, they’ll just be less safe [37:35]

Ep. 292: Overcoming Food Phobias and Exercise Obsession Jun 25, 2022

We’ve spent a lot of our lives obsessing over food and exercise. We see it happen to others all the time: someone finds an extreme regimen that produces results, then they’re terrified to try something new or give up their diet and exercise regime, which leads them to obsession and food phobias. Maybe you feel like extremes are the only way to keep results, but eventually obsession will break you. Take it from us, there is a better way. Your thoughts don’t have to be ruled by food and you don’t have to plan your life around 2+ hours in the gym. Moderation is possible. We know because we live it every day, and we have the Best Life because of it.

Ep. 291: Trusting yourself to Make Better Decisions Jun 22, 2022

If you’ve made bad decisions in the past, how can you feel like you can ever trust yourself again? Whether its a decision about your work, your relationships, or any other life event, nothing crushes your self-trust more than a choice that went “wrong.” But what if it wasn’t a mistake, even if it ended badly? And what if you could give yourself compassion for doing the best you could? What if—this time around—you make your decisions with more self-awareness and self-compassion and trust that no matter the outcome, you can handle it. Maybe that’s the best way to build back your decision-making trust.

How can you trust yourself when you’ve made mistakes in the past? [7:40]

Something that ends doesn’t make it a bad decision [9:23]

You have to actively choose the opposite of familiarity [12:12]

Self-awareness and self-compassion is key [16:03]

You have to believe you’re worth more [24:12]

Taking responsibility for your choices and actions [26:19]

There is power in knowing, even if it hurts [29:41]

Why not try something different? [32:10]

Ep. 290: Conflicting Values in Personal Life vs. Business Jun 10, 2022

Danny had a business trip planned this weekend… until her boyfriend had emergency surgery to have his appendix removed. Now she’s torn between being a loyal partner, and being loyal to her clients (who she already had to cancel on for this exact meeting). In life, love, and business we often have competing values and priorities, and it’s difficult to know which choice is the right choice. What we think? There isn’t really a “right” or “wrong,” but there are consequences for both. It’s up to you to decide which consequences you can best handle.

Conflicting values [5:53]

Feelings of obligation [8:37]

Different isn’t better or worse [11:35]

Know yourself: who are you putting first? [14:14]

Conflicting feelings of loyalty [15:48]

Personal life vs. professional life [20:51]

Learning a level of mental compartmentalization [23:25]

There’s no right answer, but there are consequences [27:24]

Communication is really key [31:40]

Ep. 289: How to Have Hard Conversations Jun 09, 2022

A lot of living the Best Life means having open and honest communication with those around you, but sometimes those conversations are difficult AF. If you need to talk with your loved ones, friends, coworkers, or team about something that might be unpleasant, and you need to know where to begin… Start here. Jill has a framework to share that she developed through tons of hard conversations she had to have as she navigated her ex-husband’s infidelity.

When do you know its the right time to have the hard conversation? [5:26]

Ep. 288: Finding A Career You Love Jun 03, 2022

A lot of us have jobs, but they’re just that: a job. They don’t fill us with joy or make us jump out of bed in the morning, filled with purpose. So how do we find something more, how do we find a career? The beauty of the internet is that anyone can make money doing anything! There are so many options out there, you just need to know where to look or how to make it work. If you work with the universe, the universe works with you.

When you have a job, but you want a career [3:34]

Ep. 287: You Completed Your Goals... Now What? Jun 02, 2022

So, you accomplished everything you wanted… now what the hell are you supposed to do? Don’t get us wrong, it’s a great problem to have, but it can put you in a real funk when you feel like you don’t have anything more to achieve. But life isn’t just about being productive, and there is so much out there to try and look forward to. Goals can be fun and they can be bigger than just the tangible things.

Ep. 286: Coveting Someone Else's Body May 27, 2022

You’d be hard pressed to find a woman today who never hated something about her body. Our society is so focused on how we look, and it’s hard not to covet what we can’t have. But that’s the important part: we can’t have it. Sure you have have surgery, you can diet and work out, but so much of how we look comes down to genetics. But you just can’t change your DNA, no matter how badly you wish you could. Instead of channeling your feelings into body hatred, surround yourself with people who make you feel good, learn to love what you have, and realize that we are worth so much more than how we look.

Coveting other people’s bodies [5:59]

How we look is mostly based on genetics [8:42]

Your body is not your worth [23:23]

Find what makes you feel good [25:33]

Confidence is true beauty [30:11]

Ep. 285: The Best Places For A Tropical Vacation May 25, 2022

We don’t know about you, but after the past couple of years, we find ourselves craving a tropical vacation.

Ep. 284: Making Hard Decisions May 21, 2022

Life is… hard. There’s no way around it. Every now and again we come to a moment where we have to make a decision for the future, and we get caught up in trying to make the “right” choice. But what even makes a choice right? And if making decisions is just say easy as “listening to our intuition” how do we do that? The idea of making a mistake is terrifying for sure, but what if we said that there are no true mistakes? If you’re out there, struggling to know what to do, we’re right there with you.

Our relationships bring the most growth opportunities [3:09]

Ep. 283: Bad Things Happen All the Time May 18, 2022

We all know someone who seems to always be going through a crisis. Do bad things happen to some people more than others? And if that’s true, are they manifesting the bad stuff, or is it all perspective? In any case, people rarely do something unless they’re getting something out of it. Sometimes, the victim role is comfortable and familiar. Sometimes, it’s easier to just push through the hard shit and ignore the bad feelings. We think it’s all about perspective, and only you can decide that for yourself.

Ep. 282: Should You Be Posting About Social Issues? May 13, 2022

In the wake of the possible overturning of Roe v. Wade, you may be wondering if it’s okay to use your business accounts to talk about it. Do social issues need to be kept separate from business? Well, that’s really up to you. The way we see it is this: it’s your personal brand, and if it really matters to you, you should be able to talk about it. People may love it or hate it, but it’s not your job to cater to everyone’s feelings. Post the shit you WANT to post.

Ep. 281: 75 Hard (And Why We Hate It) May 11, 2022

Danny lost a bet, and as a result it meant she had to start 75 Hard. But upon further consideration, it has been decided that 75 Hard is a “hell no.” Look, we love a challenge as much as the next person, but this shit just ain’t healthy. In almost any scenario, extreme measures cause extreme rebounds, and if you’re really looking to build mental-fortitude or change your body, baby steps are the way to make that change last. Long term goals require long term solutions, not just an arbitrary list of tasks that ends as quickly as it begins.

Ep. 280: The Evolution of Our Religious and Spiritual Beliefs May 06, 2022

Easter Sunday just passed and it got us thinking about religion. We have our own experiences with religion, but things look a little different for us now. And while we recognize that our experiences are solely our own, we wanted to discuss with you how that has impacted our lives, and our journeys through spirituality and beyond. Religion is nuanced and deeply personal, this is just how WE feel about it all. (Slight content warning for mentions of sexual assault and suicide)

Religion has shaped how we see the world [3:19]

Hypocrisy and polarity within the church [7:26]

A lack of independent thinking or questioning [9:16]

Sexual shame within the church [11:24]

The prison of strict beliefs [17:15]

Nobody knows the absolute truth [19:11]

Why is religion about after-life, not current life? [21:40]

“I’m not religious, but I am spiritual” [24:06]

Manifestation isn’t everything [26:16]

Finding out what is important to you [31:48]

Doing mental gymnastics [36:20]

Getting through loss [40:47]

Ep. 278: Our Productivity Hacks Apr 30, 2022

For a lot of us, being our own bosses and working from home is part of our dream life… but damn, is it hard to stay productive! Being an adult is like having a never-ending to do list, so how do we stay so productive? Well, it looks a lot like doing it, deleting it, or delegating it. It also looks like a lot of things getting left undone. If it doesn’t move the dial forward, then doing it doesn’t mean real productivity. And the only thing we really wanna be doing is moving that dial forward.

How to stay productive and disciplined [1:19]

The challenges of working from home [3:32]

Declare your priorities publicly [6:49]

Conserving your mental energy [9:11]

Having 3 big priorities [11:47]

What really moves the dial forward? [14:13]

Do it, delete it, or delegate it [17:02]

You’re not failing for not doing something [20:08]

Ep. 277: Fighting Against Self-Imposed Timelines Apr 27, 2022

Have you ever felt the pressure to be at a certain place in your career, have a certain amount of money, be married, have kids, or any number of life accomplishments by a certain time? We certainly have. Somehow, we get caught up in these self-and-societally imposed timelines of what life “should” look like by a certain age. Frankly, fuck that noise. Life looks so different than it did 50+ years ago, why should we expect the same things from ourselves? And do we even want those things in the first place? Life doesn’t have to be defined by a specific timeline for it to be well worth living. We can have the Best Life, just by deciding it is.

The self-imposed timelines we put upon ourselves [1:27]

Getting caught up in borrowed goals [2:20]

Marketers ruin everything [5:14]

The world has changed, so why do we have this old idea of what should be? [7:23]

Own the fact that you chose something different [9:34]

Appreciate where you are while you’re there [13:14]

You can be anything you want to be [15:23]

Grieve what you’ve lost, but understand there’s more out there [17:41]

Ep. 276: Can You Be Fit If You Like to Drink? Apr 23, 2022

It’s no secret that we like to drink a glass of wine from time to time (or two, or three, or…). Maybe we shouldn’t say it, but drinking is fun! But it’s also really important to us to stay fit. So how do we have fun and relax with an alcoholic beverage, and still stay fit? Well, maybe we have different definitions of what fit even means in the first place… but hey, it’s totally possible to have your fun and stay healthy! Just maybe not all at the same time.

Staying fit while having “fun” [5:03]

Understanding the cultural aspect of drinking [7:43]

The environment of drinking (with or without the alcohol) [9:12]

Ep. 275: How to Enjoy Your Money (Guilt-Free) Apr 21, 2022

There’s something about money that makes a lot of people insecure. Many will judge anyone they deem “more successful” than them, so often that it feels really scary to share any aspect of your financial success. The fear of “showing off” stops us from talking about our success at all! But who is that really helping? People are going to think whatever they want about you, and there’s not really anything you can do to control it. So how do you enjoy the financial success you’ve worked hard for, guilt free? Let’s talk about it.

A (less-than-stellar) review [2:18]

Enjoying financial success, guilt-free [8:17]

The fear of “showing off” [11:40]

Justifying, qualifying, and downplaying your success [13:56]

How to turn off the voice that tells you not to talk about money [21:42]

Ep. 273: Do the Damn Thing with the Movement Maestro Apr 14, 2022

We have on a guest this week after a long, long time without any. So excited to get this chance to chat with The Movement Maestro herself, Shanté Cofield. We’ve had her on before (in fact she was one of our first guests!) and if you don’t already know and lover her, what the fuck are you doing?! Shanté’s motto is short and sweet: do the damn thing. The rules of life are made up… so just do whatever the hell you want. You don’t have to wait to be happy.

Ep. 272: Is "Anti-Aging" Wrong? Apr 09, 2022

We’re all getting older, whether we want to or not. And we do not want. Like… at all. We do a lot of things in the name of “anti-aging” but is that a problem? Is focusing on anti-aging the same thing as fad dieting? In our opinions, it’s all about perspective. You can look young, and still feel just as shitty inside as someone who looks “older.” What’s most important is that you feel your best.

What’s wrong with “anti-aging”? [3:48]

It’s only as damaging as you let it be [5:03]

Understanding our own personal biases [7:21]

Aging is inevitable, but you can stay open-minded [10:24]

The only thing we can control is our relationship with aging [14:29]

You can change everything, and still feel shitty inside [18:05]

After the shit-show of 2020 ’til now, we’re left in a funk. On a global level, and a personal level, it’s been hard! And even though it sucks (and it sucks hard) it’ll all be okay. In this episode Danny walks you through how to get yourself out of a funk. Because after all, no one can save you, except you. You have to save yourself.

If you’re going through a funk, you are not alone [1:08]

Ep. 270: We CAN Do Hard Things, But We Don't Really Want To Apr 01, 2022

Have you seen people around the internet getting in ice baths and doing challenges like 75 Hard, while crying out, “we can do hard things!”? Yeah, we have to. Just because you CAN do hard things, doesn’t mean you should. Isn’t life hard enough already? Hey, if you get something out of it, go ahead… but it ain’t gonna make you more prepared for the real life hard stuff we all face.

Ep. 269: Avoiding Burnout Mar 30, 2022

Does feeling burnt out by your work make you weak? Of course not! Burnout is real, and in our hustle culture, it’s more prevalent than ever. But if you hate your work, then you’re going to hate your life. There’s a better way. Either you have to learn to enjoy the process, or you’ll end up burnt out with nothing left to give. Because even if you don’t make the choice to ease up, your body might force you too. Let’s figure out how to kick ass, but sustainably for our bodies and our minds.

Does feeling burnout make you soft? [2:42]

Find a way to “run” at a sustainable pace [4:49]

The harder you rest, the harder you can push [8:06]

Relaxing into it when the finish line keeps moving [11:35]

If it’s gonna be a grind, you can’t hate the process [15:31]

Finding fun along the way [17:52]

What’s the secondary benefit of you staying? [20:59]

There are more jobs out there [23:40]

Either you choose to end it, or your body chooses for you [26:16]

Ep. 268: Mowing the Lawn in Your Relationships Mar 26, 2022

Just like lawns, relationships need mowing. The longer you’re with someone, the easier it gets to push things under the rug, to ignore feelings, to harbor resentments… and its easy to take the good times for granted too! Relationships (both romantic and platonic) need upkeep. Here’s how we mow our lawns, how do you mow yours? And by lawns we’re definitely not talking about pubes, unless that’s your thing.

Does your relationship need some watering? [3:47]

Hyper-vigilance after infidelity [4:18]

Ep. 267: How to Disagree (And Still Be Friends) Mar 23, 2022

Everything feels more than just a little contentious these days. People fight on the internet and cut off family or friends over the smallest disagreements. If you ask us, its just a little immature. Nobody has to like every single thing you do, or have the exact same opinions! Believe it or not, there’s a way to disagree and still be friends—even on “bigger” issues. Even Danny and Jill don’t agree on everything.

Everyone is in their own online echo-chamber [1:40]

Losing friends over different opinions [2:53]

Engaging in the conversation makes us better [6:32]

Is it immature to cut people out of your life? [7:15]

It doesn’t have to be a “hell yes” or a “hell no” [14:47]

To be (or not to be) vaccinated [19:06]

Self-righteousness and nuance [23:23]

Understand who YOU are and your own actions [25:50]

Respecting opinions, even if you don’t agree [32:10]

It takes emotional maturity [35:34]

Ep. 266: Why We Think Bad Business Investments Don't Exist Mar 19, 2022

It’s been a minute since we’ve gotten a little biz-nasty, and we thought it was about time. Danny and Jill are entrepreneurs, and investment is a huge part of running your own businesses. That begs the question: have they ever made a BAD investment? The shocking truth is, no. And not because they have some supernatural sixth sense to sniff out bullshit every time, but because we really don’t think bad investments actually exist. Yup. Learning a lesson is ALWAYS worth it, no matter how you learn it.

Investment can be scary! [1:13]

Ep. 265: Spicing Up Your Sex Life Mar 16, 2022

So, you want to spice things up in bed. It’s easy to fantasize (pun intended) but the actual conversation is a lot harder (wink, wink) to have. Where do you even begin? And where do you finish? (Okay okay, we’re done now.) It can be difficult to talk about your fantasies with someone you love, but sex is important and it’s necessary. Let’s figure out how to get down and dirty.

Wanting to try “spicy” things in bed [7:24]

Learning what kinds of spicy sex is out there [9:29]

What kinds of porn is your partner in to? [12:12]

Start small and work your way up [15:33]

Ep. 264: Impostor Syndrome and Feeling Like A Hypocrite Mar 12, 2022

Sure we can talk the talk, but damn, does it feel impossible to walk the walk all the time. Does that make us hypocrites? No way! No one has their shit together all the time, not even Jill. (Okay, maybe a little bit Jill) Just because you aren’t perfect doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be out there, sharing yourself with the world. Somebody needs you! If you’re not perfect, thats okay! Just get up tomorrow and try again.

Feeling like a hypocrite—especially in business [1:39]

What makes you an expert? [4:16]

Results and mastery ebb and flow [7:55]

Sometimes we get in our own way [10:44]

Consumers are attracted to different things [15:29]

Relatability mixed with authority [18:14]

Give yourself grace as you go through seasons of life [19:44]

You don’t have to be for everyone [21:38]

Ep. 263: Insecurities and Societal Pressures Mar 10, 2022

Our special guest this week is our very favorite podcast producer, and Danny’s favorite (human) daughter, Courtney. Danny and Courtney have been struggling with some insecurities lately, and thought you might be too. Insecurities are a part of life whether we like it or not. (And trust us, we do NOT like it.)

Ep. 262: Why You Should Believe What Others Think About You Mar 05, 2022

You have great things inside you, Bestie. We see unlimited potential. So why don’t you see it in yourself? We’ve been there too, not believing we were capable of what others believed of us, but if you see potential in others (and you probably do!) why not see that potential in yourself? We’ll believe in you until you believe in yourself.

Seeing potential in others (that you don’t see in yourself) [1:21]

People see big things in you, too [5:55]

Decide to believe it when people see the best in you [8:22]

Gather round, Besties, we’re here today to tell you the story of the Bad House Guest. Prepare to grab your panties (or other various undergarments) because this was a wild ride. And while we really wish it didn’t happen, it did teach us a thing or two about boundaries.

Ep. 259: Stalking Our Exes (On Social Media) Feb 24, 2022

Have we stalked our exes on social media?… We plead the fifth. But hey, it’s completely normal! Almost everyone has a Facebook page at this point, and since it’s so easy, why wouldn’t you stalk an ex? And your exes’ ex. And their ex. And their ex-best friend. And maybe even the ex-best friend’s ex for good measure. As long as it doesn’t take up too much of your brain space, we say, go for it!

Have you ever stalked an ex? [0:46]

Ep. 258: How To Be Alone Feb 19, 2022

Are you the type of person that doesn’t know how to be alone? It makes sense, most of us—especially those who are in relationships or with kids—rarely get time alone. Eating, shopping, and even traveling alone can feel daunting when you’ve never done it before! But being alone can be liberating, and we think everyone should try it. Here’s how we’ve come to appreciate the art of being alone.

Jill’s first experiences being alone [1:33]

Ep. 256: Maintaining Your Femininity Feb 11, 2022

Can you be really strong and still be considered feminine? DUH. Muscles are just that—muscles. They don’t mean you’re “too manly” or “not women enough.” And besides, what does it mean to be feminine anyways? We think it’s all in your energy, its all about owning it.

Ep. 255: Emotional Dumping Feb 10, 2022

Nobody likes to be dumped on, and yes we mean that in more ways than one. We all know someone who complains just a little too much and it can be draining! And hey, if that person is you, no hard feelings. We just think it might be time to ask yourself why? Venting is great, we all do it… but it isn’t always good for you.

Ep. 254: Should Men Make More Money? Jan 29, 2022

Look, it’s 2022 now and there’s no reason men should HAVE to be the bread winners anymore. If that’s your vibe, great! But we want to have some fun and make money too! Unfortunately, it might be a little easier said than done for your male partner to be okay if you bring in more income than he does. Maybe it’s time to sit down together and talk about how he brings in way more value that just his money.

Ep. 253: Family Dynamics Changing as You Change Jan 26, 2022

What do you do when your parents still treat you like a teenager? Or when your extended family still treats you like you’ve never changed? Let’s be honest, it’s easy to project the past on to people you don’t often see. You probably do it just as much as it’s done to you. So what’s the solution? No surprises here: communicate, be yourself, and let the chips fall. Maybe your family will surprise you.

Ep. 252: Breaking Up Is Hard Jan 22, 2022

Breaking up with someone is just so much fun!… Said no one. Literally ever. It doesn’t matter how the relationship ends, break ups just suck. Especially when the other person comes back begging, telling you all about their plans to change. Yeah, we’ve all heard that one before. In this episode, we’re chatting all about sticky ends to relationships and how best to end a relationship while remaining (relatively) unscathed.

Being the “bad guy” in the break up [3:21]

Ep. 251: Your Sex Life (In a Pandemic) Jan 19, 2022

We’ve had nothing but alone time with our partners for the past two years, and while that meant the possibility for a lot of “alone time” (wink, wink) it also meant a lot of time for things to get stale. Between WFH, limited free time, lack of dates and mystery, no space from your kids, a general weariness about the world, and so many other variables, sex can get tricky. Are you spending this time trying out new things? Or are you trying to cling to any normalcy?

Ep. 250: Post-Divorce Relationships Jan 15, 2022

Is dating after divorce as magical as it seems? Yes, obviously. Everything is perfect, all the time. … Jokes aside, dating after our divorces has been anything but “normal.” Divorce and infidelity change you in a lot of ways. Maybe our dating lives were different due to our divorces, or maybe it’s just because we’re a little older and wiser now. While we can’t for sure say one is better or worse than the other, it really is different.

Ummm… We don’t have anything to talk about. Maybe it’s just us, but after two years stuck inside with nothing to do and no one to see, we feel just a little bit dumber. This pandemic has been HARD and sometimes the urge strikes to start over with a blank slate. All the uncertainty in the world is difficult, but maybe—just maybe—this is the golden opportunity we’ve been looking for. What do you think?

Ep. 248: Karens, Lindas, and Susans Jan 07, 2022

Are we in the Era of Karens? There is a phenomenon of social media where everyone thinks everyone else wants to hear their opinions.

2021 is finally over and we could not be more thankful. It was a really shitty year in a lot of ways, no doubt… but that doesn’t mean we aren’t getting our hopes up for 2022! We are so over the struggle, aren’t you? The way we see it, our problems are only as big as we make them… so let’s choose peace this year. Let’s choose a better perspective.

Ep. 246: Are You Too Sensitive? Dec 22, 2021

Have you ever been told that you’re “too sensitive”? Are you wondering how to develop some thick skin? To be honest, we don’t think sensitivity is all that bad; your sensitivity might even be your greatest asset. Being sensitive is only a problem if you’re making everything about yourself. Are you taking everything personally, or do you allow for others to have their own experiences?

Being “too sensitive” and taking things personally [1:14]

Are you making everything about yourself? [4:10]

Ep. 245: Learn to Be Okay With Not Being Invited Dec 17, 2021

Danny saw a post on Instagram about learning to be okay when you don’t get invited to something, and we wanted to chat a little about it. As humans, we often take things a little too personally, and it can really be exhausting. Let’s be honest: it’s not all about you. Sometimes, it’s just not that serious.

Learn to be okay with not being invited [1:26]

Why should I be okay with it? [2:01]

Fear of alienation [3:09]

As the year comes to a close, there is a lot of messaging to keep going, to push through—to push harder, even. We’d like to offer up another perspective: chill the f*ck out.

Casual vs. serious dating [6:59]

Ep. 242: Business Partnerships: Yay or Nay? Dec 01, 2021

We had a listener ask the question: should you start a business with a friend? And while this might sound funny coming from us, our answer is a resounding HELL NO! We might seem like the dream team now, but we’ve both had some failed business partnerships in the past that met sticky ends. But if you’re really considering it, there are a few questions you need to ask. Sure, business partnerships can work, but it’s going to take a lot of extra thought.

Don’t partner your business with a friend! [1:39]

The Sweaty Betty’s Divorce [3:55]

Jill’s failed partnership [6:54]

The conversations we had ahead of launching the podcast [10:06]

Can the other person contribute the way you can? [14:59]

Never go 50/50 [17:29]

Do it as long as you love it [19:47]

Never assume the other will do things just like you do [23:41]

Is it worth the risk of losing the relationship? [24:33]

Ep. 241: When Is It Time To Level Up? Nov 27, 2021

How do you know when the time is right to level up? And when the time is right, how do you get there? Wanting is really easy, but it’s the doing that’s hard. Jill and Danny have felt “ready” to level up many times in their businesses, but it wasn’t until recently that their actions started matching their words. Are you ready?

How Jill decided it was time to up-level [4:25]

Wanting is easy, but doing is harder [8:40]

Anything is better than what’s currently happening [10:46]

Different actions, not different thinking [17:15]

Ep. 240: The Cure to Chronic Overthinking Nov 24, 2021

Danny is in the process of adopting a puppy, and while we aren’t usually over-thinkers, this time feels different. So how do we overcome it? Wether it’s what to eat for dinner or quitting your soul-crushing job, overthinking and indecision hurts. Protecting yourself from making the “wrong” decision isn’t going to prevent any pain. So trust your gut, and trust yourself to handle whatever comes your way.

Uncertainty is harder than the wrong decision [6:49]

Your gut instinct is usually right [10:31]

No decision is permanent [14:00]

Trust yourself to handle whatever comes your way [17:57]

The pain of indecision hurts more than getting it “wrong” [22:45]

Indecision as procrastination [26:45]

Old traumas affect how we make decisions [30:41]

Ep. 239: Take A Moment of Pause Nov 17, 2021

Let’s normalize taking a break. Our society focuses heavily on constant productivity and hustling 24/7 but let’s be honest, it’s just not sustainable! Sometimes your creative well dries up or you just need a little more rest, and that’s normal. If you don’t make time for yourself, the universe might just force it upon you. Soooo… let’s just all take the rest of 2021 off, yeah?

Is it okay to take a moment of pause? [0:46]

Sometimes the universe will force you to take a break [2:15]

Ep. 238: Recovering From People-Pleasing Nov 13, 2021

Are you a people-pleaser? Many women are, and unfortunately it seems to be a trait passed down through generations. Maybe your people-pleasing is rooted in good intentions, but we think it’s kind of selfish. If you’re always worried about making everyone else happy, you’re never going to find happiness for yourself. It’s time to take back that power.

Knowing you’re a people-pleaser [3:51]

Is people pleasing selfish? [9:31]

It’s a learned trait [10:45]

Ep. 237: Filter Anxiety Nov 10, 2021

Ever heard of Filter Anxiety? Showing your face without a filter can be down right terrifying—especially for those of us that are getting older. We try to love our own faces but let’s be honest, sometimes we can look and feel like shit, and a filter takes away a little bit of the sting. Is using a filter ethical? Are we obligated to show the world our natural selves? Let’s talk about it.

Filter anxiety is real [8:09]

Danny J is an expert of living a nomadic life. After traveling to over 35 countries, driving around the US in an RV for a year, and living out of suitcase for almost 3 years… well, she has a few pointers.

Ep. 233: Finding Confidence After the Pandemic Oct 14, 2021

2020 was a crazy fucking year. Thousands of people were essentially told by the government that their careers and livelihoods were nonessential and unimportant. Total mind-fuck. So it makes a lot of sense that even as the world re-opens, your confidence might be completely shattered. We get it. Want to know a secret? You ARE essential, and what you do IS important. Today we’re sharing our best advice for (re)discovering your greatness after the pandemic.

Ep. 232: Let the Chips Fall Where They May Oct 09, 2021

“Let whoever think whatever.” When it comes to showing up authentically, whether online or in our real lives, it’s a lot easier said than done. Intellectually, we understand that we can’t control what other people think. We know we should just be our true selves. But in reality, it takes a lot of courage! Vulnerability is scary, but if you want to be loved and respected for who you are, you have to show that to the people around you. You have to let the chips fall, wherever that may be.

Showing up authentically online [1:38]

It’s still important to have boundaries [5:30]

Your vulnerability builds trust [6:36]

Trust that you can learn and change [10:35]

Ep. 231: Why Your Anger Is Holding You Back Oct 07, 2021

Let’s be honest, there’s a lot to be angry about in this world. But what good does your anger actually do? Sure, it can feel good to have something to fight for, but are you making your own life happier? Are you changing the world in a positive way? Your anger can feel right, but its often holding you back in more ways than one. We’re firm believers in the power of choice, and that includes your emotions. Especially when your emotions are preventing you from living your own Best Life.

Ep. 230: You Don't Have To Do It All Oct 01, 2021

Can you do ALL the things? Sure! But there’s one major caveat: you can’t do them all at once. There will always be more things to do, and yes, you probably “should” do a lot, but it’s not possible to do it all. And when you expect that level of perfection from yourself, you are unwittingly setting yourself up for failure. At the end of the day, you have to remind yourself: you don’t have to do that!

Can you and should you do ALL the things? [2:03]

You CAN do everything, but you can’t do it all at once [4:33]

Ep. 229: What To Do When The Person You’re Dating “Isn’t Ready” For A Relationship Sep 29, 2021

Could someone really not be “ready” for a relationship, or is that just code for not being into you? And is it a bad idea to get involved with someone who says they aren’t quite ready? When it comes to matters of the heart, it all comes down to trust: it really is the only thing we have control over. Trust what others tell you, and trust yourself to handle whatever comes your way. That’s the best way forward.

“I’m not ready for a relationship” [2:08]

What do YOU want? [4:57]

Divorce is not the same for everyone, and the reasons do matter [8:24]

Trust that your “Hell YES” is out there [10:40]

Trusting what the other person tell you [11:20]

Trust yourself to handle it if it ends [14:38]

If you want more, you need to have the conversation [15:52]

It might be painful, but it’s temporary [19:12]

Good people are not in short supply [20:42]

Ep. 228: The Value (& Judgements) We Place On Our Bodies Sep 16, 2021

Body insecurity might be one of the most universal feelings women experience—and hey, men aren’t exempt either. Society places a lot of importance on the way we look, and the language we use to talk about our bodies often skews towards toxicity. A body is just a body. It’s not inherently good, nor inherently bad. Insecurities plague almost everyone. Maybe it’s time to embrace the freedom that comes with releasing those insecurities of ours.

Ep. 227: Self-Care by Creating Space Sep 11, 2021

Time is a luxury, one that many people say they can’t afford. But we’d like to argue that time is a luxury you can’t afford to ignore. If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that if you ignore things when they get bad, life will find a way to force you to take some time. Danny-J had a hell of a year, and at this point is an expert on taking time out to take care of herself. We wanted to give you a few tips to create some space so you can keep living the Best Life.

A luxury we can’t afford NOT to have [3:05]

Ep. 226: Manifesting Your Insecurities Sep 09, 2021

It’s often said that the things you’re most sensitive about, or the things that you’re most afraid of are the things that tend to show up over and over again. If you’re always worried about your forehead, or your cluttered home, or your brand new business… chances are, you’re leaving the door wide open for the peanut gallery to come in and make snarky comments. The solution? Own your shit. Maybe what they’re saying is true, but if you own it… well, it just won’t matter anymore.

Ep. 223: Practicing Vulnerability on Social Media Jul 31, 2021

Practicing vulnerability online can be scary as shit. The internet is known for being full of nosy, judgmental, and over-critical people who are on the look-out for people to take down. But the internet is also full of caring, empathetic, and understanding people. Sharing the scary and hard parts of life can be rewarding, too. So what’s the line between vulnerability and over-sharing? And when is the right time to share? Let’s chat.

Vulnerability online [4:50]

Can you go over-board with vulnerability? [6:15]

Mental exhaustion and responding to others [12:35]

We want to know we’re not alone [15:52]

The possible consequences of vulnerability [17:53]

Wait till you have some time and perspective [22:10]

Are women expected to be more vulnerable? [24:05]

Sharing makes you more of an expert [34:35]

Ep. 222: What's the Point of A Relationship Without Marriage? Jul 29, 2021

Why bother with dating if marriage isn’t your end goal? Well, there are a lot of reasons… Marriage is great, but it isn’t the final prize. There are plenty of great relationships outside of marriage, and plenty of terrible relationships within marriage. So what’s the point? You just have to decide for yourself.

Be up-front and honest with your intentions [1:20]

Wanting to date, but not wanting a relationship [3:26]

Getting off dating apps in order to find a partner [5:09]

What’s the rush? [7:18]

As time goes on, the competition goes away [11:25]

Dating without the intention of marriage [15:16]

Marriage is a nice label, but it’s not the final prize [18:42]

We’ve all heard it before: “You’ve changed.” Uh… yeah, Brenda, of-fucking-course we have. Why haven’t you?! In all seriousness, change is inevitable and the person you are will vary drastically over the different seasons of your life. We all find ourselves starting over and reinventing ourselves from time to time. And that’s okay! Its a GOOD thing. Join us for a chat about reinventing yourself, and how to navigate change in our interpersonal lives. We’ve had to start over enough times that it basically makes us experts, right?

Ep. 220: What Is The Best Life Now? Jul 16, 2021

Life has changed a lot for us since the birth of The Best Life Podcast. Let’s be honest, just a few years ago we were all-aboard the Hot Mess Express. Things might be different now—and in some cases, a lot better—but the principles of the Best Life remain the same. It’s all about freedom, perspective, and choice, even in your darkest days.

2021 is the year we both turn 40, and frankly? We’re pissed. Okay, okay we’re just joking (but also kind of not).

Tune in to today’s episode to find out all the best lessons we learned in the last decade—especially why nobody cares about your Snapchat. No one.

The top 3 things we learned in our thirties [2:50]

Wasting our 20’s on bullshit [4:26]

You have plenty of time to do it all [5:48]

Ep. 218: How To Help a Friend Through Divorce Jul 09, 2021

Divorce is lonely, complicated, and messy. It’s hard-as-fuck to go through, and support is needed, even in the most amicable of endings. If you have a friend or a loved one going through a divorce, you may be at a loss for what to do or say—and we get it. There is no guide on getting through it. Today we’re discussing what others did that helped us through divorce, and all the things we wish were said.

Divorce can be a lonely place [1:31]

Feelings of embarrassment and sadness [6:30]

Just be there [9:50]

Is divorce contagious? [11:15]

Ep. 217: Did Farting Kill Our Marriages? Jul 07, 2021

Farting killed our marriages. Well, not really… but sort of. Going to the bathroom is human. Farting, burping, and other bodily noises are human—but that doesn’t make them sexy. When you spend a lot of time with a significant other, you want to feel comfortable—maybe to you that means letting burps fly, or peeing with the door open. But maybe those things should be kept private, to keep the mystery and the intrigue alive. Do we know the answer? Absolutely not. Let’s chat about it anyways.

Farts killed my marriage [1:04]

Does familiarity kill sexiness? [4:02]

Bathrooms incidents in public [6:02]

Familiarity and mystery must coexist [7:40]

Does keeping some privacy prevent closeness? [11:25]

Some people just don’t care [14:11]

Peeing in the shower [16:16]

Ep. 214: Bad Reviews May 23, 2021

Whenever you put yourself online, you open yourself up to criticism, and we’re no exception to the rule. The Best Life Podcast got a not-quite-positive, but not-quite-negative review recently, and it got us thinking… and even though our feelings may have been hurt a little, we needed it. A bad review isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it just may be what you need to put you back on track.

The fear of disappointing people [2:34]

How podcasting keeps us on the hook [3:57]

Being okay with the consequences [7:44]

Ep. 213: Traveling Alone May 21, 2021

Have you ever travelled alone? It may seem daunting, but the times we have spent exploring the world on our own have been some of our favorite moments in life.

Ep. 212: How Long Does It Take to Heal? Apr 23, 2021

How long does it take to heal? Well… we don’t know. What we do know is that there’s no simple answer. Healing takes time, but not only that: it takes action. Danny-J and Jill are no strangers to broken hearts or broken bodies. Over the years, we’ve had to learn as we go about the best ways to heal, and in this episode we discuss the actions that have helped us through our own healing processes.

Ep. 211: Defining What Family Looks Like Apr 21, 2021

What do you think of when you think of family? Is it a husband and wife with 2.5 kids? Maybe it’s you, and a dog, and a few dozen house plants. Lately we’ve been reading John and Julie Gottman’s “Eight Dates” with our partners and some really important, nuanced conversations have come out of it. Family doesn’t have to look the same for everyone. Even though it might look a different way, it can be just as good as what we are told “Family” is. So… what does family look like to you?

The top 8 things couples fight about [1:01]

What does family look like without kids? [5:45]

Prioritizing the relationship [7:16]

Ep. 209: Justifying and Defending Your Body Apr 08, 2021

As women, we often feel a lot of judgement around our bodies, and it doesn’t help when strangers and loved ones make comments. We’re too fat, too skinny, too muscular, too weak, haven’t lost the baby weight fast enough, eat too much or too little… the list goes on. The feeling that we need to justify the way we look or defend our bodies is bullshit. Your body is only a fraction of who you are, and nobody deserves an explanation. Let’s own our shit.

People making comments about your body [2:16]

Pre-emptive justification out of insecurity [5:48]

Practice ownership and detachment [12:44]

When other people apologize for their looks [15:29]

Insecurity is boring! [16:51]

Ep. 207: Our Dating Strategies Mar 31, 2021

We’ll be the first to admit that we haven’t always been the most discerning when it comes to dating. After marrying relatively young and then hopping back in to the dating pool after our marriages ended in infidelity, there are few things we might do differently if we suddenly found ourselves single again. Hindsight is 20/20, and our dating strategies definitely needed some work.

How we wish we dated in our 20’s [1:52]

Dating with intention [2:38]

Am I even a good person to be in a relationship with? [7:02]

Low-key dates [9:13]

The urgency to feel wanted, and do I even like them? [10:34]

Connection over ego [13:08]

Ep. 205: Tough Communicators Mar 25, 2021

We all have someone in our lives who—to put it nicely—isn’t the best at communicating. If you’re anything like us, talking it out is your bread and butter. So when our parents, friends, or significant other don’t communicate the way we’d like them to, it can be frustrating. So what can we do?

They don’t miscommunicate to hurt you [3:17]

Sometimes we diminish our own feelings [6:30]

They might feel like they’re in trouble [8:35]

Creating a safe space so they feel comfortable coming forward [10:17]

What to do when you don’t agree [12:58]

Express what it means to you to have open communication [17:00]

Ep. 204: Political Differences In A Relationship Mar 20, 2021

If you and your partner disagree when it comes to politics, does that spell disaster? Is it worth it to end a relationship over who you voted for? Politics have never been more accessible, and never more divisive. So after a year like 2020, how do we move forward when the people we love vote differently than we do? Well, it’s going to take a bit of thought. The short answer: Maybe.

Should you break up if you have opposite political views? [1:34]

Do your values align? [2:12]

Defining your boundaries early [4:16]

Do politics even come up that often? [6:25]

Does it matter to us? [9:18]

Your significant other’s values [10:27]

Ep. 203: How to Make a Habit Change Mar 18, 2021

This week Jill and our favorite guest, Danny Coleman, sit down to talk about the psychology of making changes. It isn’t sexy, but change takes time and it takes focus. If you want to get better, smarter, fitter, more productive, or any other major change you’re going to have to work for it, and we’re going to show you how.

More people like you than you think [2:53]

It’s an implementation issue, not a knowledge gap [9:28]

Work on one thing at a time [10:11]

Managing expectations [11:25]

What you have been, and hasn’t worked [14:13]

Tracking actions and focusing on the few important things [19:16]

Ep. 202: Turning 40 Mar 12, 2021

We’re back for our first episode after a MILLION downloads. Thank you!! Without all of you listening, The Best Life wouldn’t be possible! Danny just turned 40, and let us be the first to tell you, aging is a total mind-fuck. Sure, age is just a number… but is it really, though? Our bodies keep aging, but our minds still feel young. It’s time to own our shit, and our ages, and keep living the Best Life.

Coming to terms with turning 40 [3:03]

Ep. 201: The Ethics of Buying Followers Feb 24, 2021

You probably know how we feel about buying followers by now… We absolutely hate it. Sure, social proof is important when running an online business, but there are far more honest and effective ways to grow your following, if that’s what really matters to you. Honesty is always the best policy, especially when building trust with your audience, and purchasing followers, likes, and comments just isn’t it. We can tell, and it’s not a good look on you.

How a mastermind is like a sorority [3:21]

More followers creates social proof [5:32]

The integrity issue [8:09]

It’s all smoke and mirrors [12:54]

Ep. 200: Women Making More Money Than Men Feb 11, 2021

Danny J saw an article recently that claims millennial women are ashamed to earn more money than their male counterparts. Well, fuck that. Money has been used to define men and belittle women for too long. Money is just money, it has no inherent moral value, and doesn’t reflect anyone’s self worth. It’s time to start seeing money for what it truly is: just a tool.

Sensitivity around making too much or too little money [1:41]

Self-sabotage to make others more comfortable [4:46]

Money, beauty, and self-worth [6:09]

Working moms and gender stereotypes [9:27]

Money earned is money for all of us [12:46]

Money rejection trauma [16:34]

Flip the roles: would you be insecure dating a man valued for his looks? [17:58]

Ep. 199: Asking For and Receiving Help Feb 04, 2021

Long time, no see! It’s been awhile, and we’ve really missed you! As we round the corner to our 200th episode, we wanted to chat a little bit about givers and takers, and what it means to ask for help, and really be open to receiving it. If you’re anything like Jill and Danny-J, asking for for things might leave you choked-up and clammy. For many of us, we develop survival tactics early in our lives to keep us from ever needing anyone, but do those tactics continue to serve you?

Asking for help and being open to receiving it [1:51]

The fear of feeling like a burden [6:05]

Do your self-preservation tactics serve you? [9:22]

The scariest things to ask for or receive [13:10]

Ep. 198: Nosy People and Defending Your Choices Dec 05, 2020

You’ve all heard it before: “I know its none of my business, BUT…” The truth is, everybody is nosy. And somehow, people seem to sniff out the exact things you might feel most sensitive about. Here’s the thing, though: you don’t owe anyone a justification. No defense needs to be made about the way you live your life. When you completely own your shit and your choices, you won’t feel the need to anymore. And that is the Best Life.

It’s still the Best Life [0:48]

Strangers masking assumptions about your life [6:03]

You don’t need to defend your life [8:44]

When you own your shit, you won’t have to justify [12:26]

Ep. 197: Dealing with the Care of a Parent Dec 03, 2020

We’re back! We know it’s been a while, and we missed you as much as you (hopefully) missed us. You all know, 2020 has been a bitch of a year. Danny has been dealing with a very scary situation with her mom’s health, and we wanted to keep you all in the loop. Learning to balance caring for another while caring for yourself, and all the other mind-fuckery that comes with the territory is no easy feat.

Ep. 196: Turning Your Side-Hustle In To A Full-Time Gig Oct 09, 2020

COVID-19 has revealed a lot of underlying things about life and business, but perhaps none so clear as the fact that a side-hustle is always a good idea. With unemployment rates growing at unprecedented rates, people everywhere have found themselves wondering if it is the right time to turn their side-hustle into a full-time thing. Danny and Jill discuss making the transition from hobbyist to professional, and how to decide when (and if) the time is right for you.

Hybridising your job and your side-hustle [9:00]

Ep. 195: Is Karma Real? Oct 07, 2020

Good things happen to bad people all the time. Hard work and honesty are supposed to bring you success in life, but it can feel like people who take shortcuts are getting everything they want, while you’re left behind in the dirt. But what about karma? Does what goes around, come around? Does justice triumph in the end? Or should we just give up on it all and let dishonesty be our guide? Truthfully, there is no real answer, but we like to believe that everyone gets exactly what they deserve in the end.

Jill’s exciting news [2:20]

Does karma even exist? [7:16]

Sometimes its okay to feel petty [10:40]

Unfairness and what goes around, comes around [14:11]

Ep. 194: When Will It Be My Turn? Sep 30, 2020

Have you ever wanted something so badly, but for some reason, you just can’t get it? Meanwhile, it seems like everyone else in the world gets the thing you want, EXCEPT for you. If everyone gets a shot, then when is it gonna be your turn? Truth be told, there is no clear cut answer or reason why this happens. But Danny J has a few tips to help you along when life seems to be going every which-way, except for yours.

Ep. 193: The Plagiarism of Content Online Sep 22, 2020

Nobody likes a copycat. And when it comes to stealing the intellectual property of another online creator, it’s especially shitty. Our words are our livelihoods, and—believe it or not—the ideas we have take time, effort, and skill to craft and share. Having your thoughts stolen feels like a punch to the gut, and it’s never cool to do. So what do you do when your work has been plagiarized? Danny and Jill have seen it all, and won’t let someone else’s bad intentions or ignorance ruin their Best Life.

What goes through the mind of someone who plagiarizes? [2:01]

Finding your own voice while being influenced by someone [5:07]

Sharing and attributing what others have said [9:06]

Confronting people who plagiarize your content [12:57]

Content can look similar without it being plagiarized [16:11]

Our words are our business [22:29]

Abundance + consequences [26:54]

Copycats will never have the success they crave [29:28]

It’s ok to sit with the discomfort of being called out [36:11]

Ep. 192: Trickery, Deceit, and Misinformation in Online Business Sep 16, 2020

The world of internet entrepreneurs is all smoke and mirrors. Anyone can put anything in their Instagram bio, and we have no way of knowing if it is the truth. That Top 10 list you’ve been dying to get on? You just have to pay enough money and know the right people. Consumers are intentionally fed misinformation and transparency is hard to come by. But if you know the tricks marketers use against you, you can become immune to the trickery and the lies. It’s more important than ever to be an informed consumer.

Ep. 191: How To Stop Caring About Things That Don't Matter Sep 04, 2020

It often feels like every decision we make is the most important decision of our lives, but that is rarely the case. The key is to decipher which decisions really matter, and trust your own strength to handle the things that don’t. At the end of the day, ask yourself: will this even matter in 10 years? Will I be proud of my choices on my deathbed? Do I even care what anyone else thinks of me? Because remember, those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.

Decisions that feel really big, but don’t always matter [1:15]

Ask yourself: will this matter in the long run? [3:46]

Ep. 190: Giving Up on Perfectionism That Doesn't Serve You Sep 03, 2020

One thing that a lot of us have in common is that we want to be the best; that’s why we call it the Best Life Podcast. But wanting the very best is a slippery slope to falling into perfectionism. Wanting perfection isn’t a bad thing, but as recovering control freaks, we know that sometimes perfectionism is a form of procrastination, and prevents you from achieving the success you dream of. Why do we develop perfectionism? And how can you learn to give up control when it no longer serves you? Let’s find out!

Recovering from perfectionism and being a control freak [5:14]

Attaching your self worth to an idea of perfection [10:40]

Learning this behavior [11:28]

If I’m good enough, people will love me [15:22]

What’s the point of perfection if getting there makes you miserable [17:56]

Do your controlling behaviors continue to serve you? [21:54]

Control discrepancy causing shame [25:19]

Ep. 188: Getting Out of A Bad Mood Aug 22, 2020

2020 has us all on edge. Everything is cancelled, society has turned on it’s head, and no one knows when any of this will end. Bad moods are inevitable, but they seem to be more common and more powerful lately. A bad mood turns into a bad day, and soon enough, you aren’t living your Best Life anymore. Sure, we can’t be 100% happy 100% of the time, but it’s crucial to develop the tools to drag yourself out of a bad mood so that you can be the high functioning, super-effective, badass you are meant to be.

Ep. 187: We All Deserve a WAP Aug 19, 2020

We love sex, and we’re not ashamed to say it. For decades, female sexuality has been ignored, stigmatized, and shamed. Frankly, we aren’t here for it. By now you’ve probably heard of WAP, or maybe you’ve heard the discourse and discussion surrounding the sexual lyrics. Male rappers has always talked about sex, so what’s so bad about women taking control and talking about their own pleasure? We all deserve a WAP, so go and get yours.

Ep. 186: Get Discerning on What You Truly Want Aug 12, 2020

What does your ideal life look like? Do you work 4 hours a day, or 12? Do you own your home or are you content with the freedom that renting allows? What is your work/life balance like? In order to live your Best Life, you have to get discerning on what you do (and don’t!) want your future to look like. What’s best for everyone else might not be best for you, and sometimes having it all won’t make you truly happy. It’s time to find out what you want, and stick to it.

Ep. 185: Making Commitments Aug 07, 2020

Making commitments to something is always easier said than done. There is a difference in being interested in something, and actually being committed to something. Real commitment takes intention and focus, and it doesn’t hold up to excuses. If you want results in your life, you must commit to your goals. Make the choice every day to commit to your friendships, your relationships, your business, and to living your Best Life.

Ep. 184: Fearing Rejection Aug 05, 2020

It has been said that humans fear rejection and being ostracized far more than we fear death. It’s one of our most basic instincts—being acceptable to the tribe is the only way to stay alive. But when we silence our own truth for fear of getting rejected, we forfeit our power and our ability to live authentically. If you want to live the Best Life, you have to get comfortable being rejected. Every no brings you closer to a yes.

Ep. 183: Living Minimally Jul 31, 2020

Do you feel like a slave to your stuff? We often get so caught up in commercialism and consumption that the things we own start to feel like they own us. Minimalism is no new phenomenon—Marie Kondo is a household name. But minimalism doesn’t have to look like plain white walls or only one suitcase full of possessions. Just by cutting down the number of things we own, we allow space for creativity and abundance and living our very best lives.

Ep. 182: Taking Social Media Breaks Jul 29, 2020

When it comes to social media, there are no rules. 20 years ago, we couldn’t even fathom what a smartphone was, and now we can barely spend a few minutes without them. We are so dependent on being online, it’s beginning to impact our collective mental health. People are redefining what it means to interact with social media and forming new boundaries. You might have a great relationship with your phone… but most of us are a little more connected than we’d like. It might be time to take a social media break.

Ep. 181: Running an Online Business in 2020 Jul 25, 2020

No one expected what has happened to the world in 2020. With entire countries shut down, and no foreseeable end date to the chaos caused by COVID-19, running an online business seems more enticing than ever.

Ep. 180: Moving Beyond Our Regrets Jul 23, 2020

Life doesn’t always turn out the way we intend for it to. Situations change, dreams fade, and time passes by in the blink of an eye. Often times, we end up in a place we never wanted for ourselves in the first place. But we have to keep going, even when the enormity of our regrets seem to always be looming right behind us. There’s no use in regretting the past; learn from it, and look forward to a different kind of future.

Ep. 178: Following Your Dreams With an Unsupportive Family Jul 16, 2020

Becoming an entrepreneur is hard work; uncertainty abounds every step of the way. At the end of the day, sometimes all you want is to know you have the full support of your loved ones. But those who love us most are often the most scared for us, and we can’t always count on their support. So how do you carry on? Are your parents, siblings, spouses, and friends obligated to approve of every little thing you do? Or can you learn to be okay—and to achieve the success you dream of—regardless of what anyone thinks?

Ep. 177: Toxic Positivity Jul 11, 2020

We all know someone whose negativity borders on toxic, but have you ever heard of positivity turning sour? Toxic positivity seems like an oxymoron, but its more likely than you think. When you ignore the negatives that are a part of life, you deny the full spectrum of the human experience. You can live a happy life while allowing yourself to see that things aren’t always perfect. Optimism doesn’t necessitate perpetual happiness.

Negative things exist whether you think about them or not [4:07]

Ep. 176: When Celebrity Couples Get Divorced Jul 08, 2020

Couples break up all the time. We’ve all heard the statistics: almost 50% of marriages end in divorce, so why does it feel so devastating when a celebrity couple ends things?

Ep. 175: Rewriting Your Old Food Narratives Jul 04, 2020

For those of us that have ever had a complicated relationship with food, it can be a struggle to unlearn all the absolutism we assign to what we eat. All diets stem from a place of scarcity, and when you’re constantly operating from that place, your relationship with food can quickly be corrupted. Scarcity leads to a cycle of deprivation and bingeing. If you want to master moderation and learn to eat the same way every day of the week, first you must uncover these limiting narratives in your life and learn to feel more abundant around food.

There’s a lot going on in the world. We want to make a difference and to speak out, but finding the right thing to say feels impossible. Staying silent isn’t always the right answer, but what do you say when you just don’t know what to say? In this episode, Danny discusses how to open up conversations about difficult subjects, and how we can still show up for others when fear comes creeping in.

Not knowing what to say [1:11]

Coming across as not caring during a time of crisis [3:42]

Push past fear to be there for others [7:18]

Acknowledging the emotion, and empathize [8:03]

Tell people when you don’t have the words [9:39]

Ep. 173: Starting Over Jun 12, 2020

There comes a moment in all of our lives where we find ourselves faced with the overwhelming task of starting over. New jobs, new relationships, new cities, and new opportunities can feel like an unfair burden. But rather than sit and complain about what should have been, maybe we can learn to reframe starting over, and appreciate it as a time to reinvent yourself and the same old ways of life. Time is going to pass anyways, might as well take control of where you’re headed.

Ep. 172: Being a Kid is Great, but Being an Adult is Better Jun 10, 2020

Being a kid is great. You get to play all day, there are never any difficult decisions to make, and it never even occurs to you to be anything less than confident all day long. But just because being a kid is so much fun doesn’t mean growing up is all bad. In fact, we love being an adult even more than the innocence and freedom of childhood. In this episode, Jill and Danny reflect on the top 3 things they miss about being kids, and their top 3 favorite parts about being an adult. What are yours?

Saturday morning cartoons [2:43]

No food or body image issues [4:22]

Anticipation of liking a boy at school [5:33]

Ep. 171: Your Limiting Beliefs Are Holding You Back Jun 06, 2020

We all have a story we tell ourselves. I’m too old, too stupid, too ugly. We believe these stories without a second thought as to where they came from, and base our identities and futures upon them. So how do we isolate these limiting beliefs and stop them from taking control of our lives? Personal growth is a lifelong process, and in order to reach our full potential, we have to give up the negative self talk that prohibits us from living the Best Life.

Feelings of unworthiness and scarcity [8:33]

Ep. 170: Can People Change? Jun 03, 2020

Before we get any further, we at the Best Life Podcast want to make one thing clear: Black lives matter. We are fully committed to being life-long learners on how best to show up for our Black sisters and brothers, and taking down racism on both a systemic level and within the implicit biases we may have.

Today, we wanted to ask an important question. Can people change? We certainly aren’t the same people we have always been. Change is a part of life, but it isn’t something you can force upon others. People will change when they are ready to.

There has to be incentive to change [19:19]

Ep. 169: Letting Go of What No Longer Serves You May 29, 2020

Letting go is hard. From our physical possessions to our jobs, and even our relationships, getting rid of the things in our lives can set off a lot of fear. But when you let something go, you create space for something even better. So, let’s stop holding on to that excess baggage—toss out your old clothing, get rid of that broken piece of equipment you’ll never actually fix, and dump that man who’s holding you back. It’s time to make space for the Best Life that you deserve.

The sentimentality of our belongings [3:23]

Fear, FOMO, and familiarity [6:18]

Ep. 168: To Cuss or Not to Cuss in Your Online Content May 28, 2020

It’s no secret that we fuckin’ love to swear. Cussing is divisive, but to be honest… we don’t give a fuck. When we swear, we’re showing our authentic selves to you knowing that while it may turn some away, the right people will still be here. If swearing isn’t your thing, that’s cool! No one will force you to say or hear anything that isn’t in line with your own value system. But goddamn it, we’re going to cuss, and we’re gonna have a great time doing it.

Ep. 167: Letting Go of Your Grudges When You Just Don't Want To May 22, 2020

They say holding a grudge is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies. So then why is it so easy and—seemingly—so satisfying? The truth is, holding on to our hurts only prevents us from being our highest, happiest selves. Of course, letting go of the past is easier said than done, but when we forgive, we gain freedom and take one more step towards living the Best Life.

Ep. 166: What Holds You Accountable? May 20, 2020

What holds you accountable? For some, motivation and accountability come as naturally as a duck takes to water, but the rest of us might need a little more.

Ep. 164: No One Likes a Drama Queen May 14, 2020

Sometimes living the Best Life means staying in your own damn lane. Everyone knows someone who might just be a little over-dramatic, and it never leads to a happy or fulfilling life. Being a Drama Queen becomes an identity to some people, and falling out of the victim mindset can be a difficult feat without a clear picture of the kind of person you want to be… and if that seems too daunting, you can find out the kind of person you DON’T want to be, and start there. Save the drama. You’ll be happier without it.

Ep. 163: Your Success Can Be Polarizing May 08, 2020

When achieving your dreams, you’d hope that the people in your life are nothing but happy for you; unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. For some, your successes illuminate the very things they are ashamed of, or else shake up their narrow sense of the world.

Ep. 159: Navigating Relationships While Quarantined Together Apr 24, 2020

We’ve all seen the memes about quarantine—how it’s heaven on earth for introverts, an extrovert’s living nightmare, and how marriages and families will fall apart with so much un-interrupted time together… and while quarantine isn’t the cause of your relationship problems, it can certainly exacerbate them. Since we’re all stuck inside together, there’s no better time to practice having hard conversations and practice your boundary setting.

Ep. 150: You Aren't Ready For Success Mar 11, 2020

They say it takes 20 years to become an overnight success. Sure, people everywhere go viral seemingly overnight, but anyone with lasting success knows that it takes years of building reps and the right mindset to be able to handle the ups and downs of what success actually entails. Anyone can build a following just by showing up, but when you make a habit of showing up every day for your 10 followers, soon enough you’ll be in the exact right place to handle 10 thousand, and even 10 million. Mindset matters, and your success will only last so long without the right kind.

Ep. 146: Learning to Trust Your Intuition Feb 26, 2020

They always say to “trust your gut” above all… but who the hell even is “they,” and how can we tell when it’s our intuition acting up, or we are reacting out of fear? Danny and Jill take a moment to reflect on intuition and its place in our lives and relationships. You’ve gotta know when your gut is telling you something at all before you can begin to trust its urgings. Maybe it’s right all the time, or maybe it never is, but you’ve got to give yourself the grace and trust to handle whatever comes your way.

How do you begin to listen to your gut? [2:42]

Trusting someone new when you’ve been burned before [4:39]

Watching someone’s behavior [6:16]

Be wary of gas lighting and of others’ responses [9:03]

Act on your gut feelings instead of waiting them out [13:19]

What would your future self say? [14:43]

Consult your imaginary board of advisors [16:00]

What advice would you give if someone else had this problem? [16:29]

Regret is also a choice [17:08]

Give yourself some grace: your gut isn’t always right [19:01]

Ep. 145: Approve of Yourself Before Seeking the Approval of Others Feb 22, 2020

So many of us are programmed as kids to seek approval from our parents and our peers for every single thing we do. But if you’re always in pursuit of acceptance from everyone BUT yourself, true happiness and contentment will elude you. The secret to living the Best Life isn’t having everyone love all that you do. It’s loving yourself and your decisions, no matter what anyone else says.

Being in the world, and especially on social media, in 2020 means that almost everyone thinks they get to have a say in how you look.

Danny and Jill want to give you the tools they use to deal with body comments, because if you can’t beat ‘em, might as well adapt to them.

This is the Best Life, and we want to make 2020 the best year yet.

If you’re feeling stuck in your business, but aren’t quite sure how to take the next step, there is one move you can make that Jill and Danny swear by: investing in a mentor. But what even is a mentor? How do you choose one? The process can be daunting, and the cost can send shivers down your spine, but a scarcity mindset will only beget more scarcity. Jill talks all about investing in yourself, finding a mentor, and how to get the most out of your experience. The only thing holding you back is yourself.

Ep. 127: Former-Felon to Freedom and Fitness with Doug Bopst Nov 20, 2019

Doug Bopst is an author, speaker, business owner, and an award-winning personal trainer, but his journey didn’t begin with a very happy story. In fact, Doug spent his youth over-weight and drug addicted until one fateful day when he was arrested and sent to jail for possession of drugs with intent to sell. Instead of letting this felony defeat him, he used the time spent incarcerated to better himself mentally and physically, and now dedicates his life to helping others overcome their inner-demons, too.

Ep. 126: Naturopathic Medicine, Overcoming Self-Sacrifice, and Investing in Yourself with Dr. Tyna Moore Nov 15, 2019

Dr. Tyna Moore is a naturopathic physician—but what the hell does that even mean? Dr. Moore was drawn to a medical career after her own childhood illnesses, and after first-hand experience with a mentor who emphasized the importance of naturopathy, Tyna knew that regenerative medicine was the right career path. Tyna learned how to harness her business skills and an abundance mindset to take her naturopathic medicine to the next level, without sacrificing her own mental well-being.

Ep. 125: Dealing with Holiday Obligations Nov 13, 2019

The holidays are the “most wonderful time of the year,” but for most of us, there is nothing more stress inducing than the thought of going home or spending the tons of money holidays usually mean. Obligation rules supreme this time of year; many of us feel stuck doing things we would never choose for ourselves. Luckily for us, Danny has become an expert on putting her own holiday needs first. She uses The Four Tendencies to help you analyze your own holiday misgivings, and how best to deal with them.

Ep. 124: Projecting Our Insecurities and Experiences Nov 08, 2019

Humans are built to recognize patterns. This may have been beneficial when we still lived in caves, but it is now 2019 and finding patterns is no longer life or death. Without realizing it, we can look at someone else’s life and project our own insecurities and experiences onto them. While we may just be trying to connect to others, projecting is hardly ever useful, and rarely harmless. It may be a sign of insecurity, and trusting yourself is the first step to combatting destructive assumptions.

Ep. 121: Using Jealousy to Motivate, Rather Than Discourage Oct 30, 2019

Social media is a highlight reel of everyone else’s life. Seeing someone’s wins can feel like a stab in the gut, especially when you desperately want what they have. But just because someone posts a good thing that has happened in their lives, it doesn’t mean they don’t have their fair share of negativity too. Comparison is a trap, and in order to live the Best Life possible, it’s important to have gratitude for what you DO have, and remember that there’s enough for everybody to have a piece of success.

Ep. 120: Catching "Micro-Cheating" Before It Evolves Into More Oct 25, 2019

With so much of our social interaction happening online these days, the line between an innocent friendship and dangerous flirting has become blurred. When is a fire emoji JUST a fire emoji, and what is it that makes a DM dangerous? Danny and Jill discuss what constitutes “micro-cheating” and that while it is important to stay aware, insecurity is unattractive and can cause more harm to a relationship than good.

Ep. 119: The Unsexy Art of Patience Oct 23, 2019

For those that dream of doing something important with our lives, we often have illusions of grandeur about the impact we will have on the world… but real life is rarely ever glamorous. So many people start a new endeavor, realize that instant glory is the exception rather than the rule, and promptly give up. Learning to weather the storm is key to having a lasting impact. Jill gives us some pointers on how to practice this “unsexy” art; patience and persistence is better than perfection every time.

Renelle Nelson is back with more wisdom and wittiness to help us understand infidelity even further. Renelle knows that intimacy begins outside of the bedroom, and in order to heal, “me” must come before “we.” The three things that end relationships the fastest are judgments, assumptions, and resentments, and being able to recognize them before thy run rampant can be the difference between a happy ending and a traumatic one.

Ep. 112: Is It Possible to be Too Relatable? Sep 27, 2019

When you have an audience of any kind, a decision must be made—do you keep yourself relatable and friendly to all, or do you out your own self on a pedestal to keep people coming back for more? For the former, some might argue that this leaves you “too” relatable, and at risk of your audience losing respect for you. On the other hand, the latter might leave you seeming stiff, unapproachable, and with a superiority complex. Danny and Jill ponder this dichotomy and wonder what the best path is for handling the influencer-consumer relationship.

Ep. 111: Surviving Grief and Plugging In to A New Life with Christina Rasmussen Sep 20, 2019

After the devastating loss of her husband, Christina Rasmussen had to relearn how to get by in the world. For years she merely survived, but knew there had to be a better way; she soon realized it was her goal to help others through the grieving process. Grief comes in many forms, be it a literal death, the loss of a relationship, being fired from a job… the end of a way of life.

Ep. 110: Conquer Rejection by Making It Your Goal Sep 18, 2019

Whether we like it or not, rejection is a part of life. Living the Best Life requires us to put ourselves out there, but our fear of hearing the word “no” can hold us back, especially in our businesses, our dating lives, friendships, or any other vulnerable venture. The most successful people in this world have learned to laugh in the face of rejection because they all know that every single “no” brings you closer to the “yes” you need. If you can conquer rejection, success and acceptance will surely follow.

Ep. 109: Influencer Exposé: The Lies Instagrammers Sell to Us Sep 13, 2019

Have you ever wondered how every author seems to have a “#1 Bestselling” book? Or how some influencers seem to grow their accounts by thousands of followers in just a few days? We’ve all seen enough causal pictures of manicures in front of Mercedes Benz steering wheels to know something strange is happening.

Ep. 108: Feeling Guilty For Feeling Good Sep 11, 2019

Due to social media, the state of things seems to be growing more grim by the minute. We have unlimited access to news from every part of the world, and much of it is designed to send us in to a panic. We are burdened by the misfortunes of others, and the thought of celebrating victories in our own lives fills us with guilt, shame, and even fear that goodness will be taken away. Danny and Jeff talk about the guilt we are prone to feel, and combatting feelings of helplessness by showing up in our own lives.

Ep. 67: Trusting Women When Men Have Affairs Mar 27, 2019

In this episode, Danny and Jill discuss a listener’s question on whether or not women staying silent is a part of the problem when men have affairs. Is it a woman’s job to speak out? Should all girls have each others’ backs? Is it an influencer’s duty to call others out when there is deceit going on? The girls discuss all these things and find that ultimately, trust is the answer—be it in your partner, in other women, and ultimately in yourself.

Ep. 58: Authenticity for Yourself and Others Feb 19, 2019

In the age of social media, it has never been easier to lie in order to appear more put together, but it’s also never been more important to share the truth: that we’re all human.

In this episode, Jill and Danny talk about what it means to be authentic, and what steps we can take to live our lives vulnerably and truthfully.

Ep. 57: Policing Your Friends Feb 19, 2019

When we surround ourselves with groups of people, we often want those friends to share in the same morals and sets of values that we have, but what happens if someone starts living or thinking in a way you don’t agree with? Is it our job to “police” our friends? How can we reconcile our want to trust with our need to control? Danny and Jill discuss this “policing” and whether or not it’s really in our best interest to control our peers’ actions.

Ep. 53: The Importance of Tenacity Jan 20, 2019

After a recent snowboarding trip, Jill realized that the lessons we learn when picking up a new sport aren’t so different than the ones we use while growing businesses or becoming our best selves. Once you get to the top of the mountain, whether a physical or a figurative one, you’ve gotta find a way to get back down. Tenacity is paramount to personal success, and through the act of mastering tenacity, you’ll soon see that you can master anything.

2019 is finally here! Along with the New Year comes new opportunities to set goals and reflect on the kind of year we would like to have. Making resolutions is important, but sometimes we can get caught up in what we think our goals “should” be, rather than what works best for our own lives.

Ep. 49: Social and Financial Holiday Hangovers Dec 19, 2018

The holidays have come around once again, and with them comes pressure: the pressure to be around family, to see people you wouldn’t normally want to see, explain all your life choices to judgmental ears, and on top of it all, to spend tons of money on gifts you normally wouldn’t buy. Hangovers are abundant this time of year, and not just the kind you get from drinking a little too much. Danny J talks about social and financial hangovers, and gives a few tips to help you manage them as the end of the year approaches.

After the tragic loss of her mother, Sierra made it her mission to help others create happiness and achieve true self love, so that everyone can live a life they’ve always dreamed of, and on their own terms.

Ep. 44: How to Be Likeable, and How Not to Care If You Aren't Nov 14, 2018

It is human nature to want to be liked, but it’s also fact that not every person in our lives is going to like us. So how do we walk the line of having as many people like us as possible, while still being okay when some of them don’t? Jill and her younger brother Danny Coleman chat in this episode about authenticity, social agility, personal connection, and fear of judgement. There’s something for everyone to learn: whether your goal is to sell your personal brand online or just forge stronger relationships in your daily life.

Ep. 43: Being "Interesting" to Sell Your Brand Nov 07, 2018

“I can’t sell my personal brand online because my life is uninteresting!” Danny J and Jill disagree—EVERYONE can be interesting! Our own lives may seem mundane to us, but to an outside observer, there are plenty of things that set us apart from the crowd. By honing in on these “knowable” things about us and going all-in on what makes us unique, anyone can have a personality that keeps people asking for more.

Ep. 28: In Defense of Selfishness Jul 18, 2018

To be selfish is to put yourself and your own needs before those of others… but is that necessarily a bad thing? When we consistently place everyone else’s needs first, resentment starts to breed, and we sabotage our own happiness.

After all, prioritizing your own needs makes you better equipped to serve others, so we can all live The Best Life.

Ep. 26: Outgrowing the People Around Us Jul 11, 2018

Life isn’t meant to be stagnant—that is, we aren’t supposed to stop growing once we reach adulthood. Growth is healthy, but sometimes it can cause a rift between us and the people we once surrounded ourselves with. In this episode, Jill and Danny talk about what it means to outgrow people, how to deal with the emotions that come with this experience, and how to keep pushing forwards, rather than holding yourself back from your true potential.

Reasons we outgrow people, & is it for the better? [2:59]

Handling the emotions of “changing seasons” [12:43]

Does this transition need to be communicated? [16:36]

Ep. 24: Can I Trust Again? May 30, 2018

After Jill and Danny shared the stories of their husbands’ infidelities, everyone could only seem to think of one question: How can you trust again? Although it was never easy, and certainly never fun, they learned that trust is a practice, and the best way to know how is just to do it. If we trust and respect ourselves, the rest will follow.

Rebuilding trust through actions [12:18]

Trusting again through a commitment to honesty & communication [15:18]
