IGNTD

This episode is not for the faint of heart. If you’ve been following us for a while, you know our story — but in this episode, we go deep and discuss every little detail.

On today’s episode, we’re talking with another couple for the first time on IGNTD. Jonathan Albrecht and Jordan Younger are a super inspiring couple that finds strength in their differences and supports each other through understanding, patience, and communication. They’ve been dating for just over a year now but feel as though they’ve known each other for many lifetimes.

Today we interview our friend Allie Michelle who tuned in from Hawaii to connect with us. The interview kept coming back to the theme of trust — trusting yourself, trusting the universe, and letting your heart guide the way in terms of your path, work, and relationships. Things may get difficult at times but if you lead with your heart and have trust in yourself, you will be on the right path.

We’re here today to talk about symbiosis; symbiotic relationships, and the idea of working together with somebody — or something — else in a way that is co-beneficial. A relationship that uses resources together to achieve an outcome that is even bigger than each of the individual pieces.

On this episode, Sophie and I talk about making friends in adulthood. As adults, we have to take ownership of the relationships we keep in our lives. You have to look for and attract people that will be the kind of support you want, who will empower you to be the best person you can be, who will keep you accountable, and hold you to a certain standard — someone who will have your back.

We’ve all heard the statistics and stories about starting a business — 90-95% of businesses fail within the first five years, entrepreneurs never sleep, and starting a business is like starting a family. So we’re dedicating this episode to dispelling some of these myths, and to tell our own story as entrepreneurs — as well as the lessons we’ve learned along the way.

Our guest today, Kelly LeVeque, helps us illustrate this idea really well. Kelly and her husband have really mastered working together in their relationship and supporting each other in everything that they do — they even both took the dramatic leap of pursuing their passions at the exact same time!

Today, we’re here to talk about a topic that’s very dear to me, and that is addiction. Our interviewee today, Noah Levine, has a really great addiction and recovery story. We had such an inspiring conversation with him, where he talked about his Buddhist and meditation approach to recovery. Noah has created an entire movement for addiction recovery that is not AA-based, called Refuge Recovery. He hosts programs, classes, retreats, and has several physical locations for his centers in the States.

We’re here to talk today about how things are not always what they seem — especially in this age of social media where we’re bombarded with Instagram and Facebook posts. We’re always looking at what other people are putting out and comparing ourselves to their highlight reel. Sometimes it can make you feel like you don’t measure up — but it’s important to remember that we now live in a world where everything can be faked.

Today’s episode is a Valentine’s Day special all about love — self-love, love in a relationship, and expanding what your ideas about love may be. We’ve got an incredible guest today, Alexandra Roxo, who will rock your world. We go there this episode — so, you probably don’t want your kids listening in to this one.
