Social media: whether you love it or hate it, it seems to be here to stay. In this episode we examine the impact it has had from its humble beginnings to the ever-present staple in our day to day lives.

During this episode, we emphasize how the effects of social media largely depend on how it is utilized. In the beginning, it was this incredible tool we used for connecting with old friends and family. We explore the ways in which social media can be a force for good, serving as a powerful tool for connection, inspiration, and education.

However, we also discuss the darker side of social media and dissect the damaging impact that arises from using social media as a means of comparison. By constantly comparing ourselves to carefully curated online personas, we often fall into the trap of feeling inadequate, fostering feelings of insecurity, anxiety, and even depression. We delve into the consequences of the relentless pursuit of validation, exploring the impact it can have on mental health and self-worth.

Throughout the episode, we provide practical insights and tips on how to navigate social media in a healthier and more mindful manner. We discuss strategies to use social media as a positive force, encouraging everyone to embrace authentic connections, prioritize self-care, and cultivate a healthy relationship with technology.

Tune in as we unpack the complex world of social media, revealing both its potential for good and the cautionary aspects we must be aware of. Whether you're a social media enthusiast or someone looking to better understand its effects, this episode promises to be a thought-provoking exploration of the digital landscape we all inhabit. We may even have a surprise challenge for anyone who is game!

In this episode we talk about how sometimes having the rug pulled from under us can inspire positive change, but man is it tiring ! From job changes to scoping out new gyms, relationships,and looming relocations, transitions are a constant in everyones lives. But what can we do when we feel like we can't catch a break to breathe?

We discuss the power of maintaining a positive mindset during these seasons and how embracing them is vital for personal growth. Change forces us out of our comfort zones, propelling us towards new opportunities and experiences.

We explore the importance of living in the present, releasing the weight of the past and worries about the future. Discover practical strategies to nurture a positive mindset, adapt to these sometimes surprise upheavals, and fully embrace the beauty of the present moment.

The fear of the unknown is, well…scary to say the least. But trusting yourself and implementing good coping strategies can help. Get ready to navigate life's transitions with confidence and open yourself up to a world of growth and endless possibilities. Who knows, you may just end up on your dream path!

In this episode, we go through our own experiences in dealing with heartache. Everyone can relate to the feelings and emotions that come on when you are suffering in matters of the heart. We examine how we have dealt with physical experience of the knot in your stomach, the anxiety and sadness, and how to move through some of the stages of grief. Sometimes breakups can feel like a death, other times they are a great kick in the pants to get back to what makes you feel confident and alive. Leaning on friends and family, reading, allowing ourselves to feel hurt, and being active have been strategies we have implemented during those tough times. But we are human and sometimes that anger takes over and revenge is too tempting to avoid. Have we regretted the eggsperience of vengeance? Or did it give us the comfort we needed? Tune in to find out how we have dealt with the downfall of relationships

In this episode we tackle one of life's age old questions....what in the heck am I doing with my life?

As two 30-somethings who are out in the working world, we explore what happens when our desire to live our purpose, butts up against our values around finances. First we jump into the lessons we learned in the pizza shops and ice-cream parlors working as kids – grit, resilience, and discipline. Those core skills and teachable moments showed us how important hard work is, but also highlighted some of our deep rooted anxieties. Some days we just wanted to be *Broadway stars*, other days we want to take on the corporate world with a hammer. But taking risks, finding good mentors, and picking ourselves up after failure have helped us take steps in the right direction towards our goals. We ask the tough question, what do you value more? Time or money? And do you have to pick between the two? Join us on this convo about ye olde paper chase. And here's to hoping Brit makes her debut in Wicked soon

For those not familiar with this term "situationship", it has become increasingly common. It's a relationship that lacks the definition of being an exclusive, committed partnership, AKA: friends with benefits.

On today's episode we are joined by a very special guest and one of Brit's former situationships, Justin. We get down and dirty (if you have virgin ears, beware) and gain a guy's perspective on situationships.

We question... A LOT. Actions: why doesn't a guy respond to you? how do you know if he likes you? Communication: do guys have feelings and do they express them like women? Where do you meet people to date? Do guys go out looking specifically for a hookup? When is a good time to have "the talk"?

Come out to this picnic as we grill Justin like veggies on a kabob, share laughs, but get real on the differences of being in a situationship, relationship, or a pirate ship 🏴‍☠️\
