Ep. 255: Emotional Dumping Feb 10, 2022

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

You’re not obligated to give a second chance [9:19]

Deep down, we know what we want [11:51]

Clear communication is the best you can do [26:46]

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

Show notes

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?

Did sex get better or worse in the pandemic? [2:13]

Getting caught up in the routine [4:34]

Communicating during the times you’re not feeling it [6:03]

Manufacturing tension and honoring your needs [7:51]

Take care of your stress first [12:00]

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

Show notes

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.

A very different beginning [3:37]

There are plenty of great potential partners [8:01]

A lot less wasted time and ignored red-flags [9:43]

Choose your battles more wisely [12:11]

Checking your projections [15:03]

A loss of innocence, a loss of self-esteem [17:18]

It’s not worse, it’s just different [21:00]

Consciously choosing each other [23:58]

Ep. 249: What Else is There to Say? Jan 12, 2022

Show notes

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

Show notes

Are we in the Era of Karens? There is a phenomenon of social media where everyone thinks everyone else wants to hear their opinions. Self-righteousness is rampant and people are deriving a sense of identity from being “right” all the time. So what do we do about these people that feel entitled to comment on our lives?? (Sorry to all the great women out there named Karen)

Show notes

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

Show notes

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?
