Ep. 214: Bad Reviews May 23, 2021

Show notes

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.

Ep. 211: Defining What Family Looks Like Apr 21, 2021

Show notes

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]

Ep. 209: Justifying and Defending Your Body Apr 08, 2021

Show notes

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]

You are so much more than your body [17:54]

You never have to apologize [21:01]

We got a DM asking us about selling over social media. If there’s anything we know in over a decade running online businesses, it’s sales. Whether it’s network marketing, programs, coaching, or anything in-between, sales is all about building trust and relationships, and adding value. A connection now leads to a sale later.

Ep. 207: Our Dating Strategies Mar 31, 2021

Show notes

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]
