Challenge Accepted with Abbey and Nicole

In this episode, we get allll lovey dovey... just kidding, we won't do that to you guys haha! But we do talk about what we're up to this Valentine's Day, what Valentine's Day means to us, and we dive into one of our favorite books - The 5 Love Languages! No matter if you're single, taken, unavailable or whatever your situation is, we think you will enjoy this episode! Happy Love Day! <3

WE'RE BACK and we're so so happy!! In this episode, we give you an update on what's going on in our lives and talk about the new way we are going to be structuring the podcast. We hope you are excited as we are for the revamp of Challenge Accepted!

In this episode, we ask each other a series of questions that are fun, thought provoking, and help you get to know us a little more! Topics range from how our friends would describe us, our favorite books, and our obsession with killer games as kids (don't worry - we have grown out of that phase). We hope you enjoy this episode!

In this episode, we talk about the positive effect relaxation can have on you and your body and how taking a few moments each day to breathe and take your mind off of everything can do wonders. We discuss what we do to relax and how it makes us feel and challenge society’s idea of physical wellness. Explore what relaxation can do for you and your body.

In today's episode, we talk about how important it is to focus your wellness on YOU. It can be so easy to compare yourself to others and get disappointed because you aren't in the same position as them but that isn't fair to yourself. You are uniquely you and everyone else is uniquely them and it is impossible to compare the two. Just be you.

In this episode, we talk about what physical wellness means to us, the expectations society has, how difficult it can be to find a balance, and everything in between! There are many "dark" sides of physical wellness and it can be so hard to find the right way to take care of your body but that's why we are challenging ourselves to take control of our health! Our goal is to create a relationship with our body that is based solely on nourishing and caring for ourselves. 

Trigger Warning: We talk about a lot of topics surrounding body image and societal expectations so if this might be a trigger for you, try checking out a different episode!

In this episode, we talk about our next dimension of wellness challenge - physical wellness! We define physical wellness, explain the new objectives, and discuss how we plan to implement them.

Objectives:

1. 10 minutes of stretching, meditation, or yoga
2. 30 minutes of activity
3. Drink a gallon of water
4. Get at least 7 hours of sleep

We hope you follow along and challenge yourself to improving your physical wellness!

Hi guys! In this episode, we wrap up our emotional wellness challenge by reflecting on what we've learned and how we plan to incorporate techniques into our daily lives that will help improve our mental health. These last six weeks have been a time for self discovery and growth for the both of us and we have this program to thank for a lot of that. We have loved being able to share our experiences with you and we hope you enjoy following along with us! 

Now onto the next challenge...

In today's episode, we decided to shake things up and do a best friend challenge! We asked each other random questions that the other person should know and put our friendship to the test! This is a fun way for you to get to know us and for us to quiz each other! We also added a twist - whoever answers incorrectly, has to take a shot. So grab a drink, get comfy, and find out who knows who better!

Hi guys! In today's episode, we talk about how to handle your mental health and your relationship! We mostly refer to our significant others throughout this episode but it can apply to any relationship - friend, parent, sibling, etc. We hope you can relate in some way and find new ways to balance your mental health and your relationships.
