This week’s guest is Ceara’s amazing younger sister, McKenna. She gives us all the warm fuzzy girl talk that we’ve been needing in our lives. She’s loyal, kind, genuine, supportive, stylish and effortlessly cool. We talk about playing volleyball in college, dating a guy from the Netherlands, journaling and fashion.

To start off, we catch up on life, daily routines and our peaks of the week. Allison went on a mini lake trip, ran a half marathon and finished two months 99% sober. Ceara is watching the Harry Potter movies, is loving walks outside with Margo and is making a lot of progress on decorating their new home.

We get to learn more about Ceara and McKenna’s relationship - not comparing, being confident with your own talents and playing to each other’s strengths.

Allison and Ceara have definitely both had their fair share of traveling. With Allison having visited over 25+ countries, and Ceara being a professional trip planner, these two could talk on this topic for hours. But today they decided to stick with the basics. They talk about how they fell in love with travel, budgeting tips, their favorite places they’ve visited, being a traveler vs. a tourist, and more!

Two summers ago when Ceara and Allison were in Marfa, Texas, they quite literally ran into Didi Beck on the sidewalk. They all vibed immediately and ended up getting dinner together, and have kept in touch ever since! Didi is actually a native Jamaican but visited Omaha this week to stay at Allison’s.

Didi is a filmmaker, hyper-intuitive, and budding astrology expert. Her main creative interests lie in the unseen world: the occult, magic, metaphysics, ghosts, history, myths. In this episode, we dive into Didi’s intuitive journey, going to school in Los Angeles, following her heart even when it doesn’t make sense, reading Allison’s birth chart and why she was so drawn to visiting Omaha.

It was fun to catch up with a like-minded friend and remind us that beautiful relationships can truly happen anywhere. Explore places that really resonate with your soul and who knows who you will meet along the way.

Allison’s boyfriend Clay joins her this week so listeners can learn more about who they are as a couple. The two met in high school, even though they lived just a few streets apart and went to the same elementary school. After not seeing each other for over five years, they rekindled one day and have been inseparable ever since.

A lot has happened in the few years they’ve been dating - months of long-distance, backpacking in South America, living out of the car and suitcases while road tripping across the US, graduating, moving in together, career changes, and building their young adult life. Allison lives a pretty public life with social media, New Wave, and the podcast. Clay, on the other hand, is more private so this is a rare chance to get to know him and the behind-the-scenes of their relationship.

The two bring different backgrounds, interests, and passions to the table that really help inspire the other on a daily basis. Clay brings a lot of knowledge and motivation around fitness and living in the present moment. Allison brings creativity, self-growth, and a clean lifestyle mindset. 

They talk in-depth on the topic of loyalty - what that means for them as a couple, to their individual authentic self-expression and the commitment to being a better version of themselves each day. Recently, the two have been experimenting with periods of sobriety, daily workouts, and cutting back on unnecessary spending.

Allison takes the lead on this week’s episode to share all the behind-the-scenes about her small business. New Wave is a unique retail concept hidden on the second floor in Omaha, Nebraska that opened in June 2020. As the store comes up on one year of business, Allison thought this was the perfect time to reflect on what it has been like owning a store in the midst of a particularly uncertain year.

The episode starts off with the backstory of how New Wave came to be, the idea behind the brand, and all the planning and research that went into opening a store. She dives into the real stuff that business owners usually avoid talking about - failures, low points, mental health, balancing work and personal life, finances, and how to get through it all.

To counter that, she also shares the highlights, the rewards, advice for people who are interested in doing something similar, and the beauty around getting to live out a dream.

At the end of the episode, it wraps up with a Q&A session from New Wave Instagram followers who submitted questions.

Ceara is off the podcast this week as she is in Morocco on an epic work trip with Beautiful Destinations. We hope she is staying safe and having so much fun! We look forward to hearing all about the trip when she’s back in a few weeks.

The owners of Crème Caramelle captured our hearts with their French charm and left our mouths watering for homemade pastries. We met them virtually via a chatroom on Clubhouse and were so drawn to their story that we had to have them on the podcast!

Elisa and Ilana met five years ago at a friend's dinner in NYC. They bonded over their love of culinary arts and began spending Sunday mornings in the kitchen. After they both received degrees in Entrepreneurship, they decided to take the leap and launch Crème Caramelle - an online French bakery located in SoHo with the goal to spread a little taste of Paris to the streets of New York. Both Eli and Ila were greatly inspired by their grandmother’s passion for cooking and are determined to keep their heritage alive, with a modern twist.

The girls are marketing geniuses as they’ve already attracted the attention of huge social media accounts and their wedding cake made it into Vogue Magazine. Listen along for the full glow-up story on how these girls launched a business in a pandemic, how they’ve made it all happen, and their big plans for the future.

It’s graduation season, so this week we decided to share lessons we’ve learned since graduating college three years ago. From moving back into your parent’s house to moving to a new city, life starts to move fast. Friendships and relationships may change, and the inevitable identity crisis stage starts to hit.

We gathered up our best advice for those entering the next phase of young adult life, anyone in-between jobs, and how to break through a cycle of feeling lost. Allison and Ceara give tips on how to build up your resume, portfolio, and applying for jobs. We know it can be frustrating when you keep hearing “so what’s next?!” and feel like everyone else has it figured out besides you. You are not alone! We’ve been there and we’ll help you through it.
