As we close this hellish year, we reflect on the high and lows that defined so much change for both of us including the biggest of them all: STARTING BE YOU NOT THEM. Now for some, this year, despite external circumstances, was bomb diggity and for others, simply, a dumpster fire. In this Baklava Session we invite our listeners to come close this year with some lovely reflecting and share in our walk down memory lane.

[2:37] Shifting Perspectives. Nina begins our podcast with some of the shifts she has had in the way she had defined ambition and success in her life. Both Nat and Nina also share how much focus is placed on work and how much time it actually takes up in our lives.

[5:42] Run Away Anxiety. Nat shares how she realized this year how much her anxiety is NOT under her control with multiple panic attacks...SO FUN,

[7:30] Proud Moments. We shine a little light on each other in how friggin proud we are of the growth both of us have achieved ranging from the vulnerability that Nat has shared thus far to the growth in emotional intelligence in Nina.

[9:52] Nina's faith journey. Nina highlights the second growth moment of her 2020 journey which was her deepening her faith. In doing so, she was able to see where her hope lies and areas where her own identity is rooted.

[12:47] Start the Damn Youtube Channel. Given that the fatigue from her commute no longer became a thing (#workremotelife), Nat shared how the extra time helped her start a Youtube Channel which she has wanted to do for a while. No mo excuses.

[18:20] Checking Out Your Backyard. Nina highlights that as a plus in this pandemic is getting to know what is in your community through those lovely neighborhood walks that keep us sane from the work at home life. Nat explains how this also shows that connection with others virtually is just not enough.

[22:49] Let Us Not Forget Our BYNT Launch. Yes, we need to shine a big ass light on this moment of us launching this wonderful podcast. It has been a dream for us to do this and THANK YOU for being a part of this journey.

[25:00] The 2020 Lows. We share the depths of what we struggled from anxiety to deep depression. Listen to what led to Nina choosing to go sober for this year and Nat sharing the fact that we as humans are resilient.

THANK YOU

BYNT would not be where it is today without all of your support! We truly want to take moment and thank our listeners for putting up with our craziness. We love you and hoped this year, BYNT put a little sparkle in your life as your own stories put a sparkle in ours. Cheers to this crazy journey and we cannot wait what will be in store from BYNT and our lovely thrive tribe!
