December 24, 2023What Helps & Hurts Us Hitting Our Goals + Plan For Making Good Ones in 2024 | ep. 36
With the end of 2023 and the start of 2024 upon us, we thought we would have a chat about GOALS. Specifically talking about things that usually STOP us from hitting our goals - things we do/mistakes we make when setting & achieving them, as well as things we do that can HELP us hit our goals - things that tend to have a good success rate on our part.

Marissa ended the episode talking about something we all know TOO WELL (but that Alexis refuses to do, even though she knows it works) because this is your gentle reminder that people talk about this all the time....BECAUSE IT WORKS!!

Our plan going into 2024:
Say GOODBYE to "New Year's Resolutions"

Make QUARTERLY goals instead

December 05, 2023Let's Unpack That: Long Distance + Taking a "Break"... & What to do if My Boyfriend Isn't as "Romantic" as me? | ep. 33
Welcome to the 4th Volume of our advice column series: Let's Unpack That where we read your anonymous submissions of situations you're in, problems you're having, or advice you need and unpack it together like you're on FaceTime with your best friend talking about it in real time. We want to be your shoulder to cry on, warm hug, and ear to listen while providing you with the pep talk, tough love, and self love reminders to help get you through whatever it is you're going through.

Through this series we will open up about how we can relate to different submissions, how we might have managed it ourselves if we've caught ourselves in the same situations, or unpack what we would do in these situations. We'll help you unpack why you might be thinking this way and challenge your thought processes, biases, inner child tendencies, or traumas that might also play a hand in your dilemmas.

VOLUME 4
Long distance relationships...the good the bad the ugly

Alexis talks a bit from her experience doing long distance in the past

Would you "go on a break" with your partner? Does it help?

The girls talk from their experiences with "taking a break" and if it might be a good choice for you
