January 25, 2021 60. Minimizing Comparison to Maximize Your Life
Comparison is such a trap.

In this week's episode we talk about comparison in parenting, possessions, body composition/body image, and relationships.

Let's be real: we live in a swipe up world that can leave us always lusting over what we need to buy next. We scroll past diets and workouts galore all promising to shrink our bodies. We hear exactly how we're supposed to respond to tantrums and shame ourselves for how we raised our voices earlier. AND we read captions of couples that are only showing the best side of their relationships.

It is no wonder that many of us struggle with comparison. But in today's episode we talk about what we can do to minimize focusing on other people's lives and really sink into living the one that feels the best for you. Hope you enjoy it!

January 18, 2021 59. HERself Expert: Dr. Marisa Franco on The Challenge and Triumphs of Adult Friendships
Today, we have Dr. Marisa Franco (@drmarisagfranco ), a psychologist and friendship expert on the podcast. She dives into ALL of our/your questions- and we didn't hold back. Everything from how to handle when you and your friend are in different life phases, to one-sided friendships, to how to make new adult friends. This is one of the most requested topics because a) friendships can get complicated and b) we don't talk about how friendship gets complicated.

We hope that you tune in! And let us know what you took away.

January 11, 2021 58. HERstory: Erin Barsness on Doing Life Your Own Way When it Comes to Motherhood, Marriage, and Budgeting
Erin (or @mamabearbliss as her followers know her) is a mama of 3 little girls. The youngest was a fresh 6 weeks when she sat down to talk to us.

We covered it all. From transitioning to 3 kids, to becoming pregnant and getting married during college, to how her and her husband changed the trajectory of their financial lives by learning to budget.

We loved our chat with Erin. One of our favorite parts about her is that in a sea of people trying to keep up with the Joneses, she has decided to stay in her own lane by sharing budgeting, DIY, and affordable finds. Hope you enjoy this episode!

January 04, 2021 57. Looking Back at Year One
Our podcast turns ONE this week! We can hardly believe it.

Today, we take a look back at our first year as a podcast. The year was filled with some high highs and some pretty hard lows. We learned, evolved, and grew right in front of the microphones.

We talk through the three most listened to episodes of the year and tell you what is to come in 2021. You aren't going to want to miss this trip down memory lane- it is full of lessons and inspiration.

December 21, 2020 55. Five Ways to Combat Overstimulation
Overstimulation is SO real. Especially this time of year.

On today’s episode we talk about the ways that we work to overcome and make sure that amongst the chaos- we don’t forget to care for ourselves. As we’ve learned, if we’re overstimulated, demanded, and stressed...it doesn’t set us up to be the best in any of our roles.

We hope you take away some new tips and reminders from the episode as we head into the holiday season.

December 07, 2020 53. Keeping Your Identity and Finding Your Purpose
In the throes of a full season of life, you might start to find yourself giving up the very things that make you, you. Whether you are a brand new mama or an overworked corporate career woman climbing that ladder, you might be giving too much of YOU.

Today, we dive into different ways that you can keep your identity and purpose EVEN through busy seasons. Both of us have certainly stumbled along the way, but feel like we're on more solid footing in living out what we're on this earth to do.

We hope this episode inspires you to do the same. Spoiler: it will look different for EVERYONE. YOU have to find what plugs into your life and purpose that fuels you.
