Did you set goals or resolutions back in January only to find that you haven't made any progress in the past three months? It's happened to us too, but we've found a way to fix it.

In this episode, we explore the power of creating a vision board to help you manifest your goals and dreams for only the next three to four months. While many people create vision boards for the entire year, focusing on a shorter time frame can help you stay more connected to your goals and make them feel more achievable.

Our gift to you: we break down our process for how to create your own short-term vision board.

Spoiler alert: it doesn't just start with looking for pretty pictures. In fact, there are three whole steps before you even pick up a gluestick!

If you're looking to improve your career, relationships, health, or any other area of your life, this episode will give you the tools you need to create a vision board that truly reflects your desires and helps you achieve your goals.

Lucky Girl Syndrome Episode

In this episode, we explore friendship red flags, including jealousy, communication problems, and imbalanced give-and-take dynamics. Sometimes it can be difficult to navigate friendship issues, but it's important to recognize these signs and decide whether to accept, address, or let go of certain friendships.

We also explore the idea of acceptance and how sometimes it's okay to keep friendships despite their flaws. On the other hand, we talk about how to address issues with friends and have difficult conversations, while still maintaining the friendship (if that's what you want).

Lastly, we delve into the idea of letting go of friendships that are no longer serving us. It's important to recognize when a friendship has run its course and to be able to move on in a healthy and respectful way.

Whether you're experiencing red flags in your friendships now, or just want to learn how to navigate them in the future, this episode is for you. Join us as we explore the complexities of friendships and how to maintain healthy relationships with those we care about most.

Will our bro-y profiles result in more matches, or will we end up swiping left on ourselves? Tune in to find out on this episode of "We Try: Making Bro-y Tinder Profiles."
