Lesson Learned

What is a pillar? It all starts with core values. Knowing your values and non-negotiables will help you to feel sure of yourself, increase emotional awareness, and have a greater sense of clarity in your life. 

When you feel “off” it can sometimes be difficult to pinpoint exactly what is setting you off. Or maybe you know what it is that triggered you - but why? Life pillars are the foundational structures of your life made up of the things most important to you. If these foundations aren’t stable, you may feel off-balanced or in turmoil. Knowing your pillars is the secret power you didn’t know you needed. 

They say the grass is greener where you water it - let’s focus our energy where it counts.

Ready or not, you may have found yourself in long-distance love or flying off the handles in a fly-in-fly-out relationship. We have both navigated our way through the intricate dynamics of long-distance and the stress it can put on our lives, and we’re here to help with the tools and advice we searched for but couldn’t find in our times of need. 

We lay out the foundational groundwork we’ve done that ALL partnerships can benefit from, even those who aren't spending much time apart. 

We also share funny moments and totally irrational thoughts we’ve had along the way because nutbag moments are real and normal, and the psycho in all of us should never feel alone.

One of us is ready for this new chapter, while the other is feeling the pressure of being a woman in her thirties (and all that comes with that), wanting to pause time for a little and enjoy the present.

In this episode we explore the immense pressure we feel to have this answer all figured out when our lives are entangled with things like PCOS and hormone imbalances, unhelpful fertility advice from doctors, new relationships, and the stress of that biological clock. We talk honestly about what having a baby might realistically mean for us and our relationships (the good and the bad), and question the expectations we feel around this topic. 

Picture your younger self before the world told you who you should be. We bet you couldn’t imagine speaking to mini-you the way you might speak to yourself now. 

We believe the ability to love and accept ourselves the way we do others is already within us. We just need a little help to override our critical inner voice (that b*tch) and reprogram our negative thought patterns. 

Any learned behaviour can be unlearned, so let’s dive into the practical steps we can take today to repaint the picture of how we see ourselves.

Do you jump out of bed every morning with total clarity on exactly what your purpose in life is and feel complete alignment in everything you do? No, neither do we. Today we’ll be unpacking some big questions about this buzzword. What does purpose even mean? Should I have it? Why do I feel so much pressure to have it? How do I cultivate it in my own life?

This ep is here to make you feel GOOD about yourself and your life, and won’t leave you scrambling to do more. We guarantee it. Learn about your purpose and what ours might be collectively as human beings, without the unrealistic expectations and overwhelming pressure to have it all figured out that so often surrounds this topic.
