Chasing Alignment

Hey sis, hate to break it to ya but sometimes ya have gross tendencies.

Enjoy our conversation around a list of 7 things we have that we either observed or done personally. The topics include:

1. Judging strangers and people based on our own insecurities
2. Looking for validation from other people
3. Making yourself or others feel less than
4. Fishing for compliments and thank you's
5. Your passive-aggressive tendencies
6. Post something about social injustice and no intentions to ever act on it
7. Living in a materialistic world

Be ready to call yourself out, we sure did on this episode!

If you know us, we are big goal setters & we are constantly striving for new & exciting adventures within our lives and businesses. We have created a list of 5 tips to help you branch out and chase your dreams.

Dream Big

• Write down what you really want
• Create a Vision Board
• Manifest that shit

Your Opinion is the one that matters the most

• Not everyone will appreciate you evolving
• You will attract the people who want to see you succeed

Ask for Help & Network

• Mentors & Masterminds
• Networking with people who are doing what you are doing
• Have someone help you understand where you are going and the game plan

The Only Cure for Fear is Action:

• Start Small
• Start Messy
• Get it out into the world

Celebrate your wins

• There is always work to be done
• Celebrate & keep moving forward
• The journey is what it is all about.

Honey, self-care is so much more than wine, salt baths, getting your nails done, going, and getting drinks with the girls. It is simply recognizing what you need when you need it.

Today we are diving into the stigma around self-care-breaking down what people think it is, what it truly is, and why it is so important.

Here are a few examples of what self-care looks like to us:

• Massage & Chiropractor Appts.
• Sitting out in the sun
• Exercise
• Talking about feelings
• Unpacking your bullshit
• Owning how my feelings are actually making me feel and having hard conversations - unpacking triggers, and my past.
• Skateboarding, being outside, sunsets.

To end this episode, we wanted to leave you all with a challenge. Try out this list below to increase productivity, help you feel better about yourself, and to simply be happy:

1. Delete accounts on IG that do not make you feel worthy
2. If something has been weighing on your heart (this can be uncomfortable) act on those feelings. (ex. Messy conversation with a loved one or opening up)
3. Find something that makes your heart happy. (This can be the boujee stuff).

Today we dive into making friends...and how gets harder as we get older. Remember when you were little--you could literally walk up to someone who had cool shoelaces and they would become your BFF.

We talk about our core friend groups, season of life friends, and some ways you can make a new group of friends.

Here are just a few quick examples:

• Social media friends - people you've truly met over DMS and comments
• Attending Live Events (how lex and josey met)
• Gym, coffee shops, "mom groups", masterminds, etc.
• Bumble BFF, FB Groups, Getting Involved

So, why are we afraid to make friends? Give someone a compliment people, ask questions, start the friendship.

Raise your hand if you grew up believing in the traditional fairytales. You know, the ones full of princesses being rescued, prince charming always doing the right thing and fully believing in happily ever after.

Today we are here to chat about what our "happily ever after" looks like, share some new takeaways from the traditional Disney princesses and open up about what we want our future kids to value & hold dear to them.

Create your own happily ever after & enjoy this episode.

P.S. Don't judge us off of our singing abilities!

Feeling a sense of overwhelm? ...like you have so much to get done and so little time to do it!?

We are here for you, sis. In this episode, we are sharing 7 ways to boost your productivity.

Ready? Let's dive in:

1. Create a game plan
2. Don't work from bed
3. Get ready for "work"
4. Use do not disturb
5. Set timers & Create a power hour w/ biz besties
6. Move every hour
7. Don't put too much on your plate

This week we talk about the roller coaster ride that is body image. The way societies standards, social media, the people we surround ourselves, and how we talk to our selves whole-heartedly affects our body image.

Josey and Alexa both talk about their up, down, and sideways journeys with body image in their personal lives. From growing up as athletes, being one with your body at all times, and trying to perfect not just our skills but everything about ourselves. While telling their stories they want nothing more than to give others hope and have them know they aren't alone. The big question is how do we love ourselves? Truly love ourselves.

If something doesn't fit don't have shame in buying a bigger size that actually does fit.

If you keep weighing yourself, hide the scale.

If you're judging yourself and others, start saying something kind every time you say something cruel.

If mirrors have a way of bringing negative energy, limit your time in front of a mirror.

Instead of striving for perfection, we should be striving to love our perfectly imperfect selves. The things that make us unique and beautiful in our own ways.

We hope that by the end of this episode you can face yourself and learn to love yourself.

BOOST YOUR MORNING MOOD because your day literally depends on it, sis! 1) Move your body. 2) Drink yo drank (with some water). 3) Journal, meditate, read. 4) Put real clothes on. 5) Get outside and smell the fresh air. This is not a checklist ➡️ it's simply our guidance and tips. A few things that may make your mornings just a bit more intentional, more peaceful because we know they have helped outs.

In this episode we are talking about how one person can't be your everything.

Since we were little we were taught to find the person that completes us. Our other half. Our soul mate. Our best friend. Our one true love. When we want and think that our partner in crime needs to be our EVERYTHING then we're bound to get disappointed.

No sis, one person can't be your everything. Sorry to break it to you but that's a seriously heavy and high expectation to give someone. Instead of finding that one person that checks EVERY box, what if this human didn't complete you, but shit they enhanced you. So you should have many…

Have the love of your life.

Have your travel bestie.

Have your mastermind group.

Have your workout partner.

Have your coffee date.

Have your boss babe, biz besties.

Have your book club.

If you expect one person to be your everything you run the risk of bringing resentment into your relationship. You need to decide what is most important from that person, the value that, and understand that they won't love everything or want to be part of everything. That's okay, you now have experiences that you will do on your own and allow for some "you" time. Congratulations honestly.

We want you to know that you don't need to share everything with everyone. Not everything you do needs to be shared with your partner. Not everything you do needs to be shared with your best friend, your business partner, your therapist. Somethings that are more important to you might not be important to them and that's okay. It's important to find support systems from other people and avenues in your life. One person can't hold all of your weight, it needs to be spread out. Plain and simple.

We will dissect the difference between needing someone and wanting someone and why you don't need to rely on others and you can fend for yourself. You have to love you first, boo.

In a world full of yes it's time for you to say no. In this episode, we discuss why it's important to say no and set boundaries for yourself.

If it doesn't feel right don't do it. Yes and no should go off a gut decision that you feel instantly. If it's not a hell yes, it's a hell no and when you sit in limbo it just feels like hell.

Boundaries are created for you to respect yourself and your feelings. When we say yes to everything we are saying no to ourselves.

Not setting boundaries and saying yes to everything causes burnout. Burnout alone has so many

When you say no and it feels right to say no you should celebrate it. Celebrate that you are respecting yourself, your body, and your heart. Find JOMO (the joy of missing out) instead of focusing on FOMO (fear of missing out).

Some examples of boundaries you can use in your life:

• Having work/life balance.
• Limiting your phone and technology use.
• Know the difference between complaining and venting with others and set boundaries on complaining aka don't do it.
• Creating ample alone time.
• Don't allow "drop-in's" from family and friends.
