Ep. 245: Learn to Be Okay With Not Being Invited Dec 17, 2021

Show notes

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.

Ep. 244: Auditing Your 2021 Dec 10, 2021

Show notes

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. Jokes aside, we like to use December as a month to reflect on the past year and prepare for the next. Want to perform a 2021 audit? Here’s how we do it.

Show notes

Money has the potential to make or break relationships… so when is the right time to start talking about it in your relationship? The way we see it, there’s no rush.

Casual vs. serious dating [6:59]

Ep. 242: Business Partnerships: Yay or Nay? Dec 01, 2021

Show notes

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]

Ep. 241: When Is It Time To Level Up? Nov 27, 2021

Show notes

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?

Ep. 240: The Cure to Chronic Overthinking Nov 24, 2021

Show notes

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

Show notes

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?

Ep. 238: Recovering From People-Pleasing Nov 13, 2021

Show notes

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.

Is people pleasing selfish? [9:31]

It’s a learned trait [10:45]

Perfectionism and people-pleasing [14:12]

Ep. 237: Filter Anxiety Nov 10, 2021

Show notes

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.
