  • 42. Let's Get #DEEP: Do We Believe In The "One"? Talent or Hard Work? Age-old Mantras?

    Those Qs we ALL want answers to but never dare to ponder? We're answering them today: unravelling destiny, passion, love, the universe, with a touch of randomness. Do dogs have emotions? Is true love a myth or science? Do soulmates even exist? Are we foolish for having faith in age-old mantras? Whether it's street smarts > book smarts or friendship > love, we're diving #deep right. now.

  • 40. The Fine Line Between Self-Care & Self-Discipline: Do's & Don'ts

    Treat yourself, right? Not always. What about buying clothes you don't need? When does bingeing Netflix teeter into "lazy" rather than "resting"? Here at BWMI, we adore our self-care routines: light that candle + take that bath. BUT we've also struggled with discipline that's no longer compassionate toward ourselves. Tune in for a pep talk on balance.

  • 37. Trendy vs. Cheugy: Skinny Jeans, Girl Bosses & Guys Named Jake

    Crocs! Pop sockets! Side parts! Today's episode is a light + not-super-serious rundown and commentary on what is claimed to be "cheugy." This new term has recently gone viral on social media, defined as a dated aesthetic (hello, monograms and low-rise jeans). Note: everything is subjective and we *definitely* embody at least 80% of this list. Tune in for clarity on all the things.
