The pandemic has forced us to slow down and spend more time at home. Have there been days you've sat in your living room and thought... this space could use a design facelift? Well, you're in luck - in this episode we talk with designers Randy Kemper and Tony Ingrao, who share their individual stories about how they came into their own before joining up to become a cutting-edge, force-to-be-reckoned with power couple in the world of interior design. From shifts in tastes and needs to their amazing garden landscape designs, we learn the inside secrets to what trends are up and coming, which have seen their time pass, and how they approach design for both their own spaces and for client homes. We also discuss what the future holds for NYC as the country continues to deal with the repercussions from the ongoing health crisis and the demographic shift that could reshape the creative soul of NYC, and wrap up with their tips for those who aspire to be successful in a design career.

This year, many of us have been forced to deal with adversity on a daily basis, but there are ways to cope, including the important concept of Detachment. Detachment is neither kind nor unkind - it is simply a means that allows us to separate ourselves from the adverse affects external circumstances can have on our lives. It's letting go of patterns that are causing pain, and developing a new system that gives you emotional freedom.

In this episode we discuss the concept of Detachment through 3 main lenses:

1. Detaching with love
2. What detachment from toxic people and situations where you have little to no influence or control over looks like
3. Detaching from your own personal triggers and emotions

We also announce the winner of our 20th episode giveaway, which ties into this week's new giveaway!

It's hard to believe, but we've reached the 20 episode milestone for our All That Glitters Podcast! To celebrate (and in case you missed any of the juicy bits) we decided to take a look back at our favorite and most memorable moments from past episodes. From our interviews with Gabe Plotkin in episode 8 and Dr. Michael Gervais in episode 10, to taking responsibility & extreme ownership of your life (episode 7), to one of our most popular podcasts on fitness and why you're not losing weight (episode 14)... and more... We reminisce fondly about the fun and important discussions we've had on our journey so far.

If you have a problem setting personal boundaries, or can't always recognize or successfully adhere to other people's boundaries, you are not alone. Conflict avoidance is a natural human desire, but boundaries are necessary when it comes to relationships, work, family, and your own personal well-being. So how do you learn to recognize and respect others' boundaries, and how do you figure out what your own boundaries should be?

In this episode we break down our discussion into 3 focus areas:
1. Ways to identify whether or not you lack personal boundaries and how to spot someone invalidating your own boundaries
2. Identification of what boundaries actually look like and ways to implement them
3. The importance of self-worth - This has a lot to do with the manifestation of boundaries in your life

Ready to set realistic expectations in your life and have better relationships with others? The workshop is now in session!

In this episode we mention the Book "Boundaries", by Henry Cloud - check out the book here - https://www.amazon.com/Boundaries-Updated-Expanded-When-Control/dp/0310350239/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Hear us out... believe it or not, challenges in life are necessary. When things aren't going your way, or you feel like you're going through a rough spot in life, it's hard to always remain optimistic. But in order to help you appreciate the good things when they come your way, and discover new opportunities you might have missed otherwise, you must take on adversity head-on and manifest optimism like a boss. In this episode we provide our top tips on how to achieve this mindset, how to train your brain into seeing solutions instead of problems, and how remaining positive allows you to view hardships in a whole new light.

Challenges help shape who we are as individuals because the negotiation that follows helps us build the type of resilient confidence that fuels a gritty mindset. In our first in-person interview we speak with Leslie Osborne, retired American pro-soccer player, Fox Sports analyst, and co-founder of Sweat Cosmetics. We discuss her journey to making the 2008 US Olympic Women’s Soccer team, how injury along the way helped shape who she is today, and how she was able to pivot her career when it was time to hang up her cleats for good. Leslie shows how overcoming adversity, keeping perspective, and tackling challenges head-on can give you the success-driven mindset that helps you absorb any and of life’s unexpected “opportunities.”

And of course we can't sign off without doing a giveaway - tune in to find out how you can win a bundle of products from Sweat Cosmetics!
