Let’s talk about those moments — when someone triggers the hell out of you and you can’t tell if you’re jealous, judgmental, or just need a nap.

In this episode, Tess and Tiana unpack the sneaky ways ego, envy, and unconscious patterns show up in our relationships, routines, and scrolls through social media.

We get real about jealousy, comparison, and the ego moments we don’t always want to admit. From personal stories to uncomfortable reflections, we unpack how your triggers are often a mirror for your desires — and how to actually use them for growth, not shame.

We’re diving into the not-so-cute thoughts we all have… and what they’re actually trying to show us.

We chat about:

• How to stop judging what you secretly want

• Self-sabotage vs self-responsibility in relationships

• What to do when comparison creeps in and you forget who tf you are

This one’s part therapy, part girls group chat, and part permission slip get curious instead of critical, and own the things you want (instead of projecting them onto someone else).

Let’s talk about the words that shape our worlds — the convos that crack you open, call you forward, and bring you closer.

In this episode, Tess and Tiana dive into the art of communication — in friendships, in business, in love — and why it’s the thread that holds our most meaningful relationships together.

We unpack:→ How intentional communication deepens connection (and why most people avoid it)→ What it really means to be seen, heard, and understood→ Navigating long-distance love, shifting needs, and growing apart or together→ How small gestures and self-awareness go a long way in building closeness

Whether it’s a hard truth, a check-in text, or a soul-stirring 2am chat — the right conversation at the right time can change everything.

And this one? Might be that for you.

In today’s episode, Tess gets raw (and maybe a little existential) about the chaos of being 26 and feeling like she shouldhave life sorted—despite being nowhere near her Saturn return. From craving both CEO energy and stay-at-home-wife peace, to wondering if building something now means burning it down later, this is a conversation that’s part therapy, part permission slip.

Tiana joins the deep dive, sharing her own reflections on purpose, procrastination, the evolution of business, and why long walks + podcasts might be the real key to self-awareness. They unpack the nuances of learning, leading, evolving—and what it means to not know (while also kind of knowing everything).

If you’re navigating the weird in-between of ambition, uncertainty, and “WTF am I doing with my life?”—this one’s for you.

Themes:
→ Business in your 20s
→ Saturn return myths and realities
→ Identity shifts, ego deaths, and the power of passive consumption
→ Building, burning, and beginning again
→ The magic of community and connection

In this super casual, chatty, and oh-so-human episode, Tess and Tiana are giving you a much-needed life update — the rose, the thorn, and the bud edition. From Tess being deep in comp prep (and surprisingly thriving), to Tiana moving closer to the beach (even though it makes no logical financial sense lol), we’re diving into all the real-life highs and lows of navigating business, relationships, identity, and growth.

We talk about:
🌹 The wins we’re celebrating right now
🌵 The challenges we’re working through (and how we’re choosing to hold them)
🌱 The buds — what's brewing behind the scenes that has us feeling hopeful and stretched

There’s also some juicy tangents on money energetics, being on your edge, silent podcast listeners 👀, and why unloading the dishwasher might actually change your life.

As always, besties: rate, review, share it with a friend and tell us your own rose/thorn/bud moment. We love hearing from you.

In this episode, Tess and Tiana dive into one of their favorite topics: investing in yourself — and why it’s hands-down the most powerful move you can make in business (and life).

From dropping big dollars on mentorship to choosing programs that stretch your mindset, we share the real talk behind what it actually looks like to back yourself financially, emotionally, and energetically.

We talk about:

• The difference between spending money and investing in growth

• Why your ROI starts with you

• Choosing mentors who live the life you want (not just talk about it online)

• What to do when an investment doesn’t go the way you planned

• And how to trust your gut when making big decisions

This ep is your reminder that the best investments don’t just grow your business — they change your identity.

TAKEAWAYS:

• Investing in yourself is the smartest decision you'll ever make.

• People will drop $50k on a degree, but hesitate over a $1,500 course that could change everything.

• The right investments build belief, not just skills.

• Long-term mentorships often create the most transformation.

• Your return on investment is your responsibility — no one else’s.

• Energy, frequency, and proximity matter more than we admit.

• Align with mentors who reflect your values and your lifestyle.

• Every investment (even the “wrong” ones) teaches you something.

• There’s no one-size-fits-all — try things and see what fits.

• Your instincts are wiser than your fear. Trust them.

In this episode, we’re catching up on life, content, and all the chaos in between. Tess and Tiana get real about what’s been going on behind the scenes, what it actually takes to create content that works — and why going viral isn’t the flex people think it is.

We chat about:

• Why a million views doesn’t mean a million dollars

• The difference between content that pops and content that converts

• Balancing smart strategy with scroll-stopping tactics

• Creating content that feels aligned, on-brand, and actually calls in the right people

• Life updates, business energy, and all the behind-the-scenes things no one tells you about content creation

If you’ve ever felt stuck between wanting to go viral and wanting to actually grow your business… this one’s for you.

TAKEAWAYS

• Life is messy, full, and beautiful — and you get to hold all of it.

• Face-to-face connection with clients can reignite your spark.

• Virality isn’t the goal — aligned impact is.

• Tactics are cute, but strategy is queen.

• Not all high-reach content leads to conversions.

• Tailor your content for the person you want to attract.

• Your editing style should reflect your brand personality.

• Intentionality > trying to beat the algorithm.

• The more you understand your people, the easier it is to speak to them.

• Quick hits won’t sustain you — build something that lasts.

Let’s be real — if you’re switching strategies every week and wondering why nothing’s working… this one’s for you.

In this episode, Tess and Tiana serve up some tough love (with a side of empathy) on the one thing most women in business desperately need more of: patience.

We talk about:

• Why resilience and endurance matter more than any viral moment

• How social media has warped your sense of timeline and progress

• The difference between refining your strategy vs constantly starting over

• How to actually track progress instead of relying on vibes

• What it means to stay the course when things feel slow, sticky, or uncertain

Success isn’t a speed race — it’s a stamina game. And this episode is your reminder that the ones who win are the ones who stick with it.

This one’s for the high achievers, the big dreamers, and the women who are in it for the long game.

In this episode, Tess and Tiana unpack the wild (and wildly accurate) parallels between bodybuilding and business — because whether you're chasing quads or clients, the same mindset applies.

We get real about:

• The power of devotion over motivation

• Choosing your challenges (like hunger, hustle, or holding your vision)

• How coaching & mentorship accelerate both muscle and money

• Why resilience is the name of the game in both arenas

• Letting go of outcomes and learning to fall in love with the process

This ep is a love letter to growth, grit, and the women who are becoming her — whether they’re building a brand, a body, or both.

In this episode, Tess and Tiana are getting spicy about boundaries — the kind that protect your peace and your profit.

We’re not just talking about time blocks and auto-responders (though those are cute too) — we’re diving deep into the real boundaries that every woman in business needs to set if she wants to scale without sacrificing her soul.

We cover:

• Why it’s your job to teach people how to treat your business (and yes, that includes clients and even your mum 😅)

• The reality of managing failed payments and why being “nice” doesn’t pay the bills

• The power of clear off-times and why responding to DMs at 9pm on a Friday is not the vibe

• How to hold your standards with love, not guilt

• The hard truth: you can absolutely cross your own boundaries — and what to do when you do

This ep is a permission slip, a pep talk, and a loving call-out all rolled into one.

In this episode, Tess and Tiana dive into the world of feminine energetics in business — not the fluffy, crystal-in-your-bra, 6-hour-morning-routine version (though no shade if that’s your thing), but the real, grounded kind that still gets sh*t done.

We chat about the fine line between honoring your energy and straight-up avoiding hard things. Can you lead from your feminine and still hold strong boundaries? Be magnetic and accountable? Soft but powerful?

Spoiler alert: You can. And we’ll show you how.

We also unpack:

• What “feminine business” actually means (hint: it’s not about running your business based on your mood)

• How to trust yourself and stay consistent

• Why being in your feminine doesn’t mean flaking on your commitments

• The difference between intuitive alignment vs self-sabotage disguised as softness

• How trust, connection, and commitment are the foundation of any successful biz relationship

This one’s for the woman who knows she’s meant to lead her way — with depth, with power, with flow (but also with follow-through 😉).
