August 31, 2023 36: Hello Fall! Embracing the changes in our lives during seasonal transitions
August slipped away... and FALL is upon us! What are you looking forward to this Fall? 🍁🫶🏼
As we transition from Summer to Fall, we are embracing this time of change. You know that we like to keep it lighthearted around here, but we also know the importance of keeping it real!
It can be easy to get lost in the busyness, especially in times of transitions. We encourage you to be REFLECTIVE, be PRESENT, and LET GO of the things/people/thoughts that no longer serve you 👏🏼
Our favorite practices to stay present and express joy are:
🍂 Journaling
🍁 Painting / drawing
🍂 Going on a nature walk
🍁 Connect with our loved ones
Just like how the leaves are changing in the Fall, we are shedding the old versions of ourselves. Let’s evolve together! 🤩 We are here to support you in the peaks of the mountains and in the valleys!
Whatever challenges you are facing, you are not alone! We love you, Bosses! 🧡

Grab a beverage, Bosses! In this episode, we talked about our big takeaways and "aha" moments throughout the BE Series. Our reflections had many similar themes to the new Barbie Movie! Without giving away too many spoilers, we focused on topics of women empowerment, the role of gender and age in our society, childhood innocence, and so much more!

Welcome to part 6 of our BE Series! In this episode, we are focusing on how to be your most VIBRANT self! There’s no better person to speak on this topic than Rachel!

Rachel Eslick is your high-vibe motivational goal coach to help you achieve the life on your heart! She is a Dale Carnegie Skills for Success Facilitator and a passionate middle school cross country coach! Rachel is the creator of the amazing Mae We All newsletter, curates running programs for all experience levels, and shares her lofty goals with habits to support them. Rachel takes pride in being the best version of herself, living in alignment with her strengths, and sharing what she's learned along the way to help others do the same.

Being vibrant doesn’t mean you have to be the loudest person in the room or wear the most colorful outfits 7 days a week! Being vibrant is an internal feeling!
🌟 It means you get to do whatever makes you feel the most confident.
🌟 It means to not dull your light to make people feel more comfortable.
🌟 It means to be unapologetic about your dreams and continuing to shine your light in the world, even after your darkest days.

Rachel has always been a person who shines their light on the world! After a recently life-altering event, she found herself in a dark place. She opens up about her story of resilience during the most trying time in her life. Now, she uses that motivation to fuel herself and coach others!

You don’t want to miss this inspiring story from Rachel! Her resilience and willingness to be vulnerable only makes her stronger and more VIBRANT! 🌟

July 27, 202331: BE Unapologetic! How to be your own advocate
How do you overcome the pressure to decide what you want to do in your life? As recovering perfectionists and people pleasers, it can be difficult to advocate for your passions when we have been taught the societal definition of success.

Currently, we are in phases of transition in our careers. We share updates about how we got to the realizations, how to have conversations around career changes, and how to make the leap into a new job!

Whether you are in the same position or not, this is a great episode to share the message of how to be confident and unapologetic! Throw out the guilt of being who other people want you to be rather than being an advocate for yourself!

You got this, Bosses!

Hey Bosses! We are excited to kick off a new series! The BE Series will be centered around specific intentions to help you be the CEO of your life. We will feature special guests to highlight a theme throughout the series and bring new ideas of how you can BE your best self! ✨

It's so important to stay true to your values, but it can be difficult in new settings. We share about our experiences with overcoming the pressure to be perfect and navigating the challenges of imposters syndrome. As always, stay for the takeaways! 🫶🏼Let's level up together and channel our Boss energy. What better way to do that than to show up as our most authentic selves! 🧡

July 06, 202328: Navigating the in-betweens. Vulnerable moments during transitional phases of moving, shifting from college to career, and finding a new job.
Everyone likes to share the highlights of life, but nobody talks about the in between. The transitional period into something new can be intimidating, uncomfortable, and lonely.
At BYOB, we love hyping you up and being your boost of positivity, but we also know that it’s important to share the vulnerable moments as well. We share our pivotal transitions that have shaped our personal experiences like building community in a new state, finding your identity after college, and the transition from one career to another.
These phases can be filled with ambiguity and anxiousness. We hope to provide you with a sense of comfort knowing that you are not alone! 🫶🏼
Did you relate to this episode? Share with someone who might benefit from these words! 💌 If you resonated with our experiences, we’d SO appreciate it if you left us a review! 🎙Talk to you next Thursday!
Cheers, Bosses!
