Show Notes:

Burnout, the Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Amelia & Emily Nagoski

Who do you want to talk to most when you're sad? Your mom? Your sister? Your partner? Who is your PERSON?

Friendships and having to make new connections every time we move is not without challenges. 

The realities of small frustrations and sadness in daily life. This happens to most of us...should we ignore it or pay more attention to it.  

These are small talks about big ideas, as friends- Annalee brings in the wise words of leaders and Angi just throws out random reactions. With you joining us...we start to feel like a circle of friends, (the non-complainy but genuine ones).

Thanks for being a part of this circle--all are welcome!

Show Notes

Angi & Annalee wonder if there's anything good about envy. Why do most of us humans constantly compare ourselves with someone else? Why do we focus on finding our own "lack?"  More emotional exploration from two non-experts.

Three routes to working with difficult emotions - https://www.intentionalexpat.com/resume/

This is real life- it's not glamorous, this is what motherhood looks like sometimes. 

We're not always losers...it's just that we FEEL like we are if we forget to notice the wins. Proud, accomplished, satisfied, comfortable- let's soak up the good vibes when they're around. Settle in for a semi-positive episode. 

Angi & Annalee chat over the trusty go-tos they pull out after moving to a new place that help make those first few days/weeks/months a bit more bearable & doable. Annalee promotes showering... sometimes.. & Angi shares her worst tip yet. We are not an advice podcast...we are your friends. Call us sometime. #realness
