I Thought We Were Just Getting Coffee!

In this episode, Astrid facilitates an open conversation to Aleah and Kaden about their relationship. Meeting in middle school and dating for approximately seven years, they've had their ups and downs. 

In this very special episode, Astrid welcomes her long time best friend of 15 years, Jacqueline to the podcast. Together they discuss their friendship in the early days, how to be a good friend, and the big changes they've went through together and individually.  To continue the conversation, find us on Instagram @wewerejustgettingcoffee. 

Catch up with Aleah and Astrid as we update you all in this casual, chit-chatty episode. We discuss the movies we've been watching, Astrid shares her tumultuous story about going to get her first roll of film developed, and we open up about the most challenging aspects of starting a podcast, and much more! To continue the conversation, check us out on Instagram @wewerejustgettingcoffee.

In this episode we discuss why we compare ourselves to others, why it's important to talk about it, and how to refocus ourselves toward something more positive. Is comparison the thief of joy? When does comparison cross the line into jealousy? How can we center ourselves using gratitude when we do compare ourselves? Enjoy listening and let us know what you think by messaging us on our Instagram @wewerejustgettingcoffee.

In episode 6 we welcome Patrick Donovan to discuss the power of saying yes and how to know when to say. We discuss the times where we've said yes and it paid off, when it didn't, what it means to look at the glass as half empty or half full, and the steps we take to decide when we should go for something or step back. Patrick has his own podcast we encourage you all to check out, The Soaring Star, which can be found on Apple, Spotify, and all other platforms where podcasts are. Thanks for listening!

While both we both do not claim to be experts in this subject area or have all the right answers, we believe in sharing about our own experiences and creating a space where it's celebrated to discuss money.
