A Little Bit of Chill

These days, just trying to keep up with even the most basic current events comes with an awful lot of baggage. Tune in to any medium of news and in 30 seconds it feels impossible to not be overwhelmed with despair, hopelessness, and outrage. So how do we keep up with the world around us without losing our Chill?  With so many challenges facing society, so many human rights issues, and so many stories of humans losing basic kindness and respect for each other, it’s all about balance. This episode gives a little perspective on the internet, information, and how we can balance our mental health while finding our equilibrium amidst it all.

Episode 31 asks us the big ol’ WHY this week!? More specifically “why do we do the work that we do?” Pretty sure for some of us, we go to work to make money, to pay our rent, etc, etc. and that's fine! But what if we could do the same thing but ALSO do it as something that sets fire to our soul in some way?

In this practical Chill Chat Cali and Will discuss different ways to find our ‘why’ that will give us that extra oomph to get out of bed and go to work every day. Go beyond the paycheck, because when we do something we love, it won't even feel like work anymore. And that's exactly WHY you should listen to this episode Fam ;)

This episode is INSPIRING! We had so much fun hosting YouTube star, and badass businesswoman Fiona Frills, on the show! Although Fiona is uber-successful now (her makeup line is in 400+ Walmart stores nationwide and she has a FIRE YT channel with over a million subscribers!) she had to overcome some serious *ish to get there, from bullying, learning disabilities, finding out she was legally blind and all sorts of other setbacks in her short 18 years on this planet!

We love this episode because Fiona really embodies this idea of being able to find her CHILL despite all her struggles. No matter what she always kept going and advocating for her dreams. Hopefully, this inspires y’all to keep working at becoming the best version of yourselves, we know it inspired us! Chase your dreams despite the odds, you got this, we believe in you too Chill Fam :)

Join Cali as she sits down with Brocolli Guy, the man who has taken to the sporting world to spread kindness by…dancing with broccoli! This week is all about connecting with our inner child by being unapologetically YOU and finding pure happiness in the unlikeliest of places!

Broccoli Guy took a break from the jumbotron this week to help Cali guide us to our ultimate chill (even in stressful situations). Who knows, maybe we’ll find ourselves in pure bliss, dancing with vegetables after this episode!

Let's find our spark this week Chill Fam. You know that little fire inside of you that's bursting to ignite when you pour a little creativity into it.

This week's episode is all about getting creative about creativity!  We aren't talking about arts or crafts or cooking up a nice meal. Those things are nice for sure, but we want to dig a little deeper with y'all.  What is the true origin of creative thought? What is that creative life force that we have within us and how do we channel it into our lives? In everything we do, from jobs to money to friendships and more.

You got this, own your personal power and ignite your creative spark. 

Do you ever find yourself waiting for someone or something to give you the go-ahead? Like you can’t sing that karaoke song or join a new hobby group until someone else tells you it's okay?

Well, buckle up for this week's enriching discussion between Cali and co-host Will as they navigate personal permission and why YOU and ONLY YOU can give yourself permission when it comes to YOUR life. 

The good news is that you don’t need a permission slip from anyone to live your life the way you want. Yay for personal freedom!!!

Does the very idea of having to pay those dreaded bills for the rest of your darn life fill you with a whole bunch of anxiety? Well, you're not alone… just talk to our very own Will?!

In this Practical Chill Chat episode, in between the nervous giggles from Will, Cali gets straight to the point with some super useful tips and tricks on how to empower yourself when it comes to your finances!

The fun and quirkiness of this episode won’t deter you from the great advice and mindset training that can be done by any of us to overcome those triggers and patterns surrounding the misery of paying bills! By “bill paying'' we mean ANY time we have to think about finances - health insurance payments or plans, savings or investments, financial support of family and friends - you name it, most of us have some stress from it.

So listen to this one and bookmark it, because we are all gonna be paying bills for a long time to come, so we better hope we can find A Little Bit of Chill in it! 

In this juicy premier episode of Season 3, Cali and Will quickly bring some levity and light to what is usually a scary topic for most of us… what to do when we feel lonely, isolated and disconnected from life!

In usual Cali and Will fashion, through funny anecdotal experiences, they share how you can re-empower yourself and avoid disenfranchisement from life with tons of practical tips on how to go from ‘feeling alone’ to ‘feeling connected’ again.  

This super Chill Chat is not to be missed, especially since we are all coming out of physical isolation and the world seems a little like it's gone into full force freefall!?! There is A LOT going on out there peeps!

Sooooo….what better way to avoid loneliness and disenfranchisement in the future by learning how to transform those negative feelings into positive action by first exploring ‘why’ we feel alone, learning how to connect and engage again and then finding ways to contribute so we can feel connected and overall…. well… less lonely! All while making the world a better place to live in for all of us! And honestly, Cali and Will will leave you feeling less lonely just by giving this one a little listen.

This is the last podcast in Season 2 Fam and what a wake-up call it is! As much as we don't want to bring up the sh*t show that was 2020 again, it did show us a lot… and if we were lucky enough to come out of it on another side, we have a second shot at living the life we really want to live.

So the last episode in this season is dedicated with as much gusto and positivity to show us how to make the absolute most of everything coming out of ‘the great pause’. Not forgetting that as we go to press play - we are fully in control of how we dial up all the positive things we want to continue, start all the new things we've put off (and most importantly!) stop the same old things in our lives that we REALLY don't really wanna do anymore!

Leaving this season with a positive mission for us all to live by just makes us feel so great. See ya on the other side of the pause button Fam. 

Tune in as resident co-host Will argues there is NO CHILL IN MONEY!  Nope. Not one iota. For Will, money creates this constant “WooHoo Money Freakout Cycle” that he just can't break free from…. but Cali on the other hand, while she knows money can be a serious topic, also knows we can all work to find some Chill on the topic. Especially if we can learn to create some separation and perspective on the baggage we may be carrying around the money in our lives!

So roll up on this Practical Chill episode on how to do just that! Listen in for tips and tools to practice that will help to neutralize those “oh so juicy” financial ups and downs that we've all experienced at one time or another, and get ready to rethink the relationship we have with money in our lives.
