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?

Ep. 204: Political Differences In A Relationship Mar 20, 2021

Show notes

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

Show notes

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]

Tracking actions and focusing on the few important things [19:16]

Anti-perfectionism [25:06]

It takes practice [28:39]

Show notes

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]

Changes in your body as you age [5:59]

Feeling “behind” the curve [8:33]

There’s no script for unusual lifestyles [17:01]

Looking your age [24:00]

Ep. 201: The Ethics of Buying Followers Feb 24, 2021

Show notes

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]

Do bought followers affect your bottom line? [15:18]

A merit-based follow [17:39]

You can buy any social proof you want [20:01]

Ep. 200: Women Making More Money Than Men Feb 11, 2021

Show notes

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

Show notes

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]

Removing shame about asking for help [17:09]

Givers and takers [19:29]

How being able to receive affects our finances [23:38]

It’s a practice, and practice makes perfect [27:59]

Ep. 198: Nosy People and Defending Your Choices Dec 05, 2020

Show notes

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]

People are nosy [15:51]

Before you ask someone else, ask yourself why? [17:12]

Do we attract the criticism we are most sensitive to? [19:40]

Ep. 197: Dealing with the Care of a Parent Dec 03, 2020

Show notes

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. We wanna say thank you for sticking with us, and we are so excited to talk to you all again.

What’s been happening with Danny and her mother [1:09]

Regrets, responsibility, and resentment [7:14]

Glimpses of light amid tragedy [12:47]

A new child/parent dynamic and filling in the gaps [25:20]

The fantasy vs. the reality [29:53]

Taking care of yourself and accepting help [33:58]

Ep. 196: Turning Your Side-Hustle In To A Full-Time Gig Oct 09, 2020

Show notes

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.

The problem with “no excuses” [3:45]

Hybridising your job and your side-hustle [9:00]

Decide if you want to go all-in or keep your hobbies separate [11:22]

When is the right time to leave your day job? [13:22]

Financial buffers so you can make the jump [17:48]

Having honest conversations with your boss [21:19]

Stick with it, it’ll pay off eventually [24:47]
