Healing Hormones

It’s super easy to get caught up in the mundanity of our daily routines, and even easier to let that burn us out!  During this episode, we talk about ways to check your ‘tude at the door when you get to work, and how to keep your work stress out of your home life in order to prevent ourselves from getting burned out.

We’ll Discuss:

Wine of the Day: None! We went to yoga instead.

“Highly Sensitive People”

Leaving your work stress at work

What is burnout?

What works for us

Making lists: the good, the bad, the ugly

Accountability buddies

Work is not the be-all-end-all

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, but sometimes we lose track of how we’re treating ourselves amidst all the love we’re trying to show everyone else.  The holidays, while very special, can be super strenuous on you!  Practice self-care this year, making sure to take time for yourself and honor your feelings and health.

Quotes:

1. “Don’t freak out, eat what’s there… have some grace for yourself and know this may not be the season or the time to be super down on yourself.” - Liz
2. “We should be trying to achieve this balance throughout the whole year.” - Nina
3. “It is the time when we’re likely to get sick especially because we’re around so many people.” - Liz
4. “We always are trying to please others at the expense of ourselves.” - Nina

We’ll Discuss:

• Wine of the Day: Gerstacker Nürnberger Christkindles Markt-Glühwein (Holiday Mulled Red Wine)
• Honoring your health during the holidays
• Being okay with indulgence
• The 80/20 rule
• Letting go of anxiety when circumstances are beyond your control
• Taking some time for ourselves when our family is all around
• Incorporating our routine into the holidays
• Stay hydrated!
• Spiritual continuity throughout the holiday season
• The rule of “me,” and getting our of our own way
• “How to Live a Good Life”
• Do what best serves you, not everyone else
• How do you self-care?

In this episode of Wine & Shine, we delve into the realm of the mainstream media to uncover why women have primarily negative self-perceptions.  We’ll discuss why it’s important to let go of these perceptions and love yourself as you are despite constant media bombardment, while still consciously making choices toward self-improvement.

 

Quotes:

1. “People definitely thought we were taking engagement photos, and I support that.” - Nina
2. “How come we can’t see these positive sides of ourselves [and] it takes someone else to point out something that can be super-beautiful?” - Nina
3. “The issue I have in the mainstream media is that what is and is not attractive is being determined by a bunch of old, white men.” - Liz
4. “People don’t buy products, they buy what that product will make them become.” - Liz
5. “How can we begin a shift of having women believe in these ideals sooner so that we can make a shift as a society?” - Nina
6. “I do think it’s really important for women to support each other, because if we don’t, who will?” - Liz

 

We’ll Discuss:

• Wine of the Day: 2014 Charles Smith - “Eve” Chardonnay
• Miss Representation
• Pro’s and cons: the pageantry of competitive beauty
• Men are the decision makers in the media, and why that’s a problem
• The interpretation gap, and supporting retailers you don’t support
• Body-neutral retailers
• Youth-targeted and gender-biased media
• Why we don’t take curvy women seriously
• The fine line between self-improvement and self-deprecation
• Your “best” body is up to you
• Comparing ourselves, positive or negative, is a dangerous game
• “Pretty is as pretty does.” - Grandma Belden
• The pressure is real for men, too

Today we chat about the expenses of supplying your household with food, and the social aspect of eating.  Our friends, as much as we love them, influence us to spend money going out and, as a result, we neglect the groceries we spent way too much money on!  Grab a glass and join the conversation.

 

Show Notes:

• Groceries are expensive!
• One-stop shopping versus shopping the town for the best prices
• Value added: quality over cost?
• Tip: Get “basics” at the lowest-price store you can (canned goods, dry goods, spices)
• Food is a controllable expense… or is it?
• Social pressure to spend money on food
• Creating a social event out of saving money on food-- our ideas
• Budget honestly for your social eating expenses
• What happened to pregaming?!
• Shopping based on what’s on sale, then planning your meals around what you bought
• Balancing a busy life and economical habits
• Wine of the Day: tastefully absent (the reviews are made up and the points don’t matter)
• Questions:
• • Gretchen in Kent, Ohio: As a grad school student cooking for one on a limited budget, what do you suggest for eating healthy and keeping my funds in check?
