  • What do you do with 20 million Ep 13
    In this week’s podcast we talk about how we would react and explain how our lives would change if we found out we won the lottery for a whopping $20 million dollars. We went through the step by step process of what we would do as sin as the money hits our bank account. We mention the very real issue of experiencing shock after such a big change and being afraid to make brash decisions and lose the money in a short period of time like many who win the lottery. We also spoke on the cons of winning a large amount of money overnight like how money changes you in negative ways. We mention that in our experience, inspiration and motivation mostly comes from struggle and once you have your money problems solved, you could lose yourself in the process. Due to this, we both agree to only spend money on the minimum amount of material items possible like cars, shoes, etc. and investing a lot of it in businesses and business ideas.

  • You’re not as bad as you think you are Ep 12

    Building confidence in your passion and confidence in you fitness journey

    In this week’s podcast, we talk about how the mind can be deceive when creating goals and trying to reach them. Both Anthony and I have had the same issue of easily becoming discouraged about certain ideas or when thinking of starting new endeavors. We get anxious and overwhelmed and get caught up in ten thousand different reasons we cannot achieve success.

    I mention this new mind-frame that I’ve come to adopt and that is to not even think too deeply into the task or new endeavor and just do it. It doesn’t give you any time to talk yourself out of it and give up before you even start. Anthony mentions that if you know that you have an overactive mind, there are also some pros to this in that you can reverse that anxiety and fear and think on how to solve the issues or roadblocks you have encountered during your project’s brainstorming process. We also mention how this way of thinking also affects people in the gym when you want to go up in weight or see someone else lifting heavy and assume you will never get there. If you change your way of thinking, you change your way of life! Please subscribe to our channel for new podcasts every week and make sure to follow us on IG and FB. Thanks for your support!

    The importance of communication in healthy relationships

    In this week’s podcast, we talk about communication and why it’s important to use in all of your relationships in your life, including with your spouses, family, co-workers, etc.. First, we mention our stance on communication and the benefits that it brings in our relationship. We introduce some of the communication issues we are currently dealing with and also some positive traits that tend to help our relationship, like having very similar personalities, likes, and dislikes. We address that it’s important to listen to others’ words and viewpoints and avoid speech writing in your head in order to just get your point across. We also mentioned why we might have picked up some of the negative communication skills we have today and what we can do to improve it from this day forward. One example of this is to put yourself in the other’s shoes and switch sides to try to imagine how you would feel if you were on the other end.

  • Misconceptions about Cardio and Weight Lifting Ep 10
    In this week’s podcast, we talk about misconceptions in the fitness industry surrounding cardio and weight training. We started off by mentioning some clear benefits of weight training versus cardio, which are that: metabolism stays elevated for up to 38 hours, better for building muscle, ability to reshape your body and it’s more sustainable and fun to do. We mention the misconception of women that lift heavy weights will get bulky. We explain our experience of sticking to the cardio machines and being afraid to lift weights at the beginning of our journey because of this myth. We also mention the misconception of women’s body image issues and the myth of being thinner versus curvier is healthier and more accepted in society. Nowadays, social media has slowly begun to fix this issue and has elevated and put much curvier, plus size women in the forefront of ads and made it more appealing to have curves.

  • Habits that changed our lives Ep 9

    In today’s podcast, we talk about some habits that we’ve already incorporated into our lives and also some that we plan on adding into our daily lives to continue improving ourselves and our lives. Anthony mentions some health and fitness habits that have helped him like tracking calories and macros, meal prepping, morning workouts and drinking a gallon of water. I talk about how budgeting has helped my financial status and also helped increase my credit score. I also talk about how intermittent fasting helped me reach my fitness goals a lot quicker and that I want to incorporate it back into my daily life. We also mention some habits that we want to start incorporating into our daily lives such as meditating, journaling, reading, getting more sleep and revisiting our passions, like painting.

  • Why did we start a podcast episode 8

    You may be wondering why we even started this podcast and what our long-term goals for this new endeavor, ur podcast may be. In this episode, Anthony and I sat down and spoke on our motivations and our past and how far we’ve come since meeting five years ago.  We’ve both encountered a lot of obstacles, which we struggled through but overcame such as, moving to a new city without having anything at all, having to use our skills to make a small income and making mistakes along the way and also asking for a raise after being a loyal, hardworking employee for many years. These were obstacles that led us to our current vision of working for ourselves and not having to deal with a typical “boss” and working for someone else’s vision.

    We mention all of the benefits of working for yourself such as, the importance of owning our own time and being in charge of our own opportunities. We also mention the difficulties of this process such as, knowing your worth so you can charge your clients more accurately and make a profit. It is difficult to work for others but in a way challenging to work for yourself because you have to be proactive at all times. Working for other companies is a more consistent check as long as you do the minimum but you can be let go at any time and in the end, you are working towards someone else’s dreams, not your own. Creating your own business is not for everyone but we’ve decided a while ago that it is the most fitting choice for us!

  • Cheat meals vs. Cheat days – Episode 7

    In this week’s podcast, we talk about our differing mindsets and personal experiences with cheat meals and cheat days. Anthony and I both have differing views and have had different experiences and relationships with food throughout our lives. I explain that I have more of an addictive mindset regarding food, while he eats food to live and thinks nothing more of it.

    I think there is more of a cultural reasoning behind this in how we grew up and how our families treated food. Anthony’s family is Seventh Day Adventist and has been vegetarian for most of their lives. On the other hand, every gathering my family had was based around food and alcohol and this shaped my mind to believe food is more than sustenance to live, it is delicious and there has to be lots of it. Also, I’m a sweet tooth (which doesn’t make things any better) and Anthony gets headaches when he eats too many sweets (this helps him keep his portions small or stay away from them completely).

    Regardless of our differences, we both agree that if you change your mindset and way you think about cheat meals (and even what you call them), this could help with food addiction and prevent someone from binging and overeating. Everyone has the power to change/reroute their thoughts into more positive ones. We also touch on the topic of not even partaking in cheat meals and just eating the foods you crave while staying within your caloric budget. This can prevent you from binging on that one food that you’ve been craving all week. Also, we mention some alternative, low calorie, high protein options for ice-cream, candy, pizza, etc. that can be consumed for cheat meals instead of going all the way in.

  • We’re taking a break from the gym Ep 6

    In this week’s episode, we talk about the importance of taking a “breather” or break every now and then. We talk about getting older and along with this feeling, more aches and pains in the gym. Due to this, we decided to take a week off in the gym but continue to do home workouts with low weight and cardio. A lot of people lose sight of this but it’s important to listen to our bodies and take breaks and also get sleep so our bodies can heal. When we work out (especially lift heavy), our bodies get sore and our muscles literally tear and grow back stronger. If we don’t give ourselves time to rest, our bodies will never fully heal and we won’t reach any of our goals in our fitness journey. All in all, it’s important to listen to your body and avoid burn out! Enjoy the podcast!

  • Choosing the right workout plan Ep 5

    In this week’s podcast, we brought up the topic of IG influencer’s fitness plans we have tried in the past and recommend the one we learned the most from. We also talk about how a beginner can get started in the gym like working out with a trainer for a while to learn correct forms of exercises and later apply it to your own fitness plan in the future. Since Anthony and I are in between the intermediate and advanced levels of fitness, we now make our own gym plans. It will be easier to do so once you learn more about certain exercises that work well for your body and correct form so you do not get hurt in the gym. Let us know if you’ve tried any fitness plans that you enjoyed and made amazing progress completing.

  • 2 Introverts go outside -Ep 4

    The benefits of socializing as an introvert

    In this week’s podcast, we bring up one of our weaknesses since we’ve moved to Atlanta and that is socializing and leaving the house. We moved to Atlanta about four years ago to branch out and spread our wings in a bigger city. We were anticipating the diversity, all of the events and places to go and of course being able to network outside of Alabama. Our problem is, we get so caught up in our routines (going to work, going to the gym, etc.) that we forget that socializing and having date night is also important. We are both introverts, which doesn’t help the situation. In this podcast, we talk about the things holding us back from making friends and networking. We also talk about the side effects of this and how we can prioritize being more outgoing and social.
