Big announcement about some changes to the podcast!! 

Let’s all join in and reminisce about our first Myspace profile — our cool background, HTML coding skills, and the song we featured on our page.

As Zillenials, we have seen social media grow. As the children of the internet, social media has had a big impact on our childhood and in someway or another has influenced the people we are today. (Sidenote, can we even call ourselves Zillenials?)

From AOL chat rooms to myspace, facebook, instagram, and everything else. Social media is where we do most our of communicating, whether on IG sending memes back and forth, retweeting your fav artist, or learning the latest tiktok dance trend. Oh tiktok!

With recommended YouTube videos on my home page like “how to ACTUALLY become “THAT” girl”, “the ULTIMATE guide to get back on track”, “extreme clean with me & declutter”, and the endless morning routines, you could say that I’m guilty of watching lots of productivity porn.   (But isn’t there something so soothing about watching someone clean?)

Our culture glamourizes overwork and side hustles and getting more money all the time. The endless cycle of chasing success and moving so quickly that we don’t even celebrate when we achieve our goals because the target is always moving and there’s somewhere else we need to get to.

So how we can we learn to slow down in this society that’s always closing the gap between the present moment and the future? Should we all have multiple streams of income and side hustles?

It's January and you know what that means, Dry January! The time of year when folks across the US abstain from alcohol for the month of January. It's an opportunity take a break and re-examine their relationship with alcohol. After the month is over some folks will return to alcohol and their glass of wine with dinner, while others may continue being alcohol-free on February 1st.

With all that it seems like the perfect time of year for us to discuss our relationship with alcohol. From college drinking habits, to work place happy hours, and going California sober.

New year, new me? New year's resolutions and goals aren't working for us in 2022. Listen to this episode to hear Taylor & Jaqueline talk about how goals can set us up for failure and how to develop systems & habits instead.

In this episode, we talk about all the pressures and joys the holiday season brings, gift giving, food and the big SAD. We also share how our stories of the moment we discovered that Santa Claus wasn't a real dude. Listen in for some holiday relief and a few laughs. 

As open enrollment is ongoing, we wanted to circle back on a few things we couldn't get to from our health insurance discussion a few weeks back. AND announce the end of season one!! Honey and Heart is almost a year old and we have some awesome things brewing for SZN TWO coming 2022. For now, we hope to leave you with some helpful advice and some excitement before heading into our winter break. We appreciate your support and can't wait for the new year!

Did we both pick probably one of the worst times in history (sans pre-2008) to buy houses? Yes, yes we did. But also, we both feel so extremely lucky and privileged for it to have worked out (albeit not without some effort & stress) for the both of us. 

Home buying can be confusing and is definitely emotional. Think of this episode as a crash course into our experiences. We wanted to share everything we learned throughout the process and share some things we wish we would've known beforehand. 

Like health insurance, you never really learn about home buying (even in Taylor's real estate 101 class). And it seems like one of those really big adult milestones that can feel really out of reach for some of us, even when that's not necessarily the case. 

Keep in mind, we're both just buyers, and our experiences are our own. But, it can be really helpful to hear and have something you can compare your experience to! So buckle up, cause we sped through this episode because there is SO much to say. Enjoy, friends! 

How would you describe health insurance? A bore? Confusing? Clunky? All of the above?

Yeah, that's exactly how we feel. We're never taught how health insurance works in this country and we've found that sometimes even our employers are confused about it too. And there are so many terms you have to learn, it's almost like they want it to be confusing 🙃🙃🙃

So we decided to make it fun, and deliver a deep dive for you. In this week's episode, we go into different terminology, plans and more to help you better understand your health insurance without wanting to pull your hair out. We definitely learned a few things researching for this episode and you should def know what we found out!
