L&J // This week Lulu and Jana are having an open and fluid conversation about some topics that have been coming up for them lately. They chat about mental and physical health in regards to trauma and emotions, modern day relationship expectations, habits, the importance of taking care of the nervous system, and how trauma is stored in the body. L&J both consider themselves to be highly sensitive people which is something that neither of them used to identify with, but as they've gotten older and watched themselves experience their triggers and work through their trauma they have both realized that they do have strong emotions and hyper vigilant nervous systems which both need to be protected and prioritized in their day to day lives as well as in relationship. L&J discuss why the "burnout" culture and people believing that everything needs to be comfortable is actually creating a lot of self entitlement and laziness because goals, growth and hard work are actually often really uncomfortable situations and that isn't necessarily a bad thing. L&J are also reviewing the book Atomic Habits by James Clear, which opened their eyes to a lot of ways they could be doing things differently in their lives.

THE INTERVIEW // We are back! L & J are having a deeply important conversation with Amy Koppelman writer and director of A Mouthful Of Air starring Amanda Seyfried and Finn Whitrock. A Mouthful of Air, based on Amy's critically acclaimed 2003 novel of the same name, the story follows Julie's struggle with postpartum depression and with it a suicide attempt, Julies husband and the people in her life attempt to help her but quickly realize that they can't relate to what Julie is going through because they are not living her experience.
Postpartum depression is a topic that few want to tackle and bring up, it is an infinitely complex, and can present itself out of nowhere in many women. It's not an easy story but it's an important and heartbreakingly beautiful novel and film.

A SOLO // God placed on Jana's heart to use her platforms to speak about her experience with abortion, abusive relationship, sexual assault, miscarriage + the mental, emotional, physical trauma that comes with it. She shares her view on abortion being a hot button political issue of our time, she sugarcoats nothing; as the topic is currently all over social media/the news due to the abortion law that just took effect in the state of Texas. But this is also her testimony because God’s hand is not always immediately obvious in our lives, with trials we easily wonder “why did this happen?”. Jana realized that God was preparing her for such a time as this + He uses every circumstance for good. This topic is huge, controversial af, triggering, which is why Jana combines her own experience with stats, resources + all types of perspectives to keep the chat fluid, and flexible.

THE INTERVIEW // We are having an in depth Self-Love Alchemy/Relational Artistry conversation with Kelsey Grant. We discuss what we are lacking as a whole in the intimacy department, how to have a healthy relationship with our emotions, healing trauma while in a relationship vs on our own, setting boundaries with our partner, choosing ourselves/our path even if that means letting go of someone and being available to receive our desires. Taking self responsibility when it comes to showing up wholesome in your relationship, being able to part ways when you realize you no longer align, and not shaming your baggage requires vulnerability and courage, but courage and vulnerability aren't mutually exclusive.

THE INTERVIEW // Before getting into our conversation with expert jeweler, gemologist and founder of Kingdom Fine Jewelry Natasha Peck, we share our views on societal pressure when it comes to getting engaged, weddings, marriage; where we are currently at with our priorities and why aligned values are more important than romanticizing getting married. Kingdom Fine Jewelry, based in Vancouver, was founded by Natasha Peck and her partner Dylan Lee. Together they create affordable, vintage, alternative engagement rings to cater to the trend of people wanting to purchase unique, uncommon pieces. Their rings have been worn by celebrities such as Ryan Reynolds, Lucy Hale and were featured in and recommended by @GQstyle.

L&J // This week Lulu and Jana are sharing what they do to avoid burnout and what self care during this current phase of life looks like for them. They discuss that self care can be (and is) getting enough sleep, nourishing your body, and doing face masks but it is also distancing yourself from drama, saying no when you don’t want to do something, ending toxic friendships, knowing when something isn’t serving you anymore, and avoiding mindless consumption. L&J also have an announcement for all of you on this weeks ep, the pod will be taking a mini hiatus after the 100th episode drops in September, the girls are giving themselves a break recharge, reassess and redefine what they want for the podcast.

THE INTERVIEW // L&J are chatting with Sloane Elizabeth, a holistic wellness coach who specializes in helping women release food fears, restrictions, and diets so that they can experience lasting food freedom. Sloane uses a combination of nutritional science with deep subconscious healing to help her clients and audience eat with love & intuition - which we are so here for! She shares her journey with finding food freedom and why her story is the reason she is so passionate about what she does. We discuss why disordered eating and food fear is usually not about the food itself but something much deeper, and how you can begin to uncover the root of your issues with food to heal them and get to a place of peace and freedom with food and your body. Sloane also shares what "intuitive eating" means to her and why the intuitive eating movement isn't always promoting the correct things.

L & J // This week we are answering all of your questions; from what we look for in a guy, our morning routines to what we would tell ourselves 5 years ago. Chatting about how our relationships with our bodies have shifted, why being unapologetically you is the sexiest thing and why a 65 year old cougar sipping wine on the Amalfi coast flirting with hot Italian men is our spirit animal.
