EPISODE 5 - In order to make our destiny a reality, do we build a nest or fly the coop?

In a week where we are feeling uncertain about our futures and vulnerable to the forces outside us - Our topic is a great meditation that begins with how to shore up your home base to best chase your dream. If it needs to be chased at all…

What if validating the small dreams, centering them daily, and stacking those joys is how we achieve a life fulfilled? Do our dreams have to be elusive to count?

Or can we recognize the ones already achieved. The dreams our parents and communities had for us that we surpassed and kept moving forward.

This week, let's recognize what we have already done to remind ourselves of what we can do.

Margaret Thatcher's Quote |Interpreted by Jason:

"Mind your thoughts that they become words. And what your words that they might become actions, what your actions because they might become habits. And watch your habits. Because they determine your character and it is your character that determines your destiny."

Per Chat GPT: This general structure—emphasizing the connection between thoughts, actions, habits, and destiny—has been used by motivational speakers and philosophers throughout history. It's possible that Thatcher or others adapted the concept, but it's unlikely she was the original source.

EPISODE 3 -We all crave rejuvenation with all its bells and whistles. Your friends swear by the treatments they've received, but where does the benefit lie for us?

Self-Care, Skincare, Scamcare. Episode 3 wonders aloud about the benefits of professional skincare services and its semi-mainstream offshoots.

From micro-needling to platelet centrifuges, we kick around some old and new anti-aging practices that promise youth, beauty, and a modern lifestyle.

• Will Laurel get a vampire facial?
• Will Paul get his jaw wired shut?

EPISODE 2 We all hear about reconnecting with our inner child—but what does that kid know about life? Should our inner child really be calling the shots?

In this episode, Super Stranger Erica Reid Gerdes joins us with some seriously wise wisdom. We dive into the big questions like:

• Who are we now?
• Are we living our truth?
• Is that what our inner child actually wants?

It's a fun yet introspective conversation about authenticity, personal values, and how past trauma influences our present decisions. We also discuss reclaiming creativity, dealing with loss, and whether listening to your gut is really the right call.

Remember, we're no experts—but that's what makes it so much fun!

EPISODE 001 - Our first co-host, Brandi, takes her duties seriously and dives us all the way into the deep end. Given topic options of much lighter fare, Brandi has chosen: "Should I believe in God?" (I mean, it is a classic!)

Join us, along with our first Stranger, Sara, as we consistently conflate God with Religion, laugh a bunch, make some solid self-discoveries, and don't forget about cults.

It's a great intro to this podcast experiment.

We are no experts; these women have never met, and that's why it's fun!
