In an unusual twist - we end season 3 in reflection. From a convo on air about “ball soap” - better known as squatch soap.  We jump into the “how it all started” - unscripted amateurs with no plan, but a world of drive. Determined not to let paralysis analysis stop us from putting the rubber to the road. This convo very much highlights our Type 2 and Type 8 (enneagram) personalities - you’re going to be laughing right from the start.

From cooking in a kitchen that’s on fire - to actually being fired - our paths crossed at the exact time our faith in a higher power was making us unwilling to miss an opportunity like this. What does Mac Hollins have to do with our email reply strategy? Division of responsibility - that’s what - our unique personality differences have both influenced one another, and created a unique space to really lean into our strengths and spirit. 

What’s in a perfect house? What’s makes perfect timing? What about the perfect pet? Or even the perfect job? See where we are going here? The only thing stopping any of us from starting - is likely just a set of limiting beliefs. But in reality - the world (of entrepreneurship) really is your oyster. From Jenny’s 43rd birthday - to our upcoming 1 year podcast anniversary - to unusual pedicures - and wedding photos - we reflect on this year-long journey that has us standing knee-deep in gratitude.

Reflecting on past goals and expectations, we share wisdom we'd offer our younger selves, questioning societal milestones and contemplating unfulfilled dreams. We discuss the evolving meaning of success and fulfillment, encouraging the younger generation to pursue their passions. Our chat touches on everything from Costco must-haves to holiday traditions, wrapping up with a nod to our incredible listeners. Join us in celebrating our journey, our evolving friendship, and the endless possibilities that lie ahead. Cheers to one year and many more to come!

We almost forgot to hit record - so get ready to jump right into it. When Jenny starts by serving up a White Knight from “dirty Myrtle”. Between giant turkey legs and swords - and hinge radius changes.  We get back to the hard hitting questions - what pants do knights wear? No really - because it’s not shorts - it’s not tights - but it was making it awfully hard to get a photo during the sword fight so … 

The thighs/ quads convo is back on the table - and we’re calling it “sweet meat” as we unpack Raebecca’s type - and she confesses on air - something she’s never said out loud. From yoga outfits - to camel toe - yes, it’s on the table again … and this time it’s walking into the grocery store at the exact moment the bus is unloading the residence from the local assisted living community. 

We’re talking about decorating for fall vs Halloween - which holiday is the tiniest bit trashy - and all the surprises we have in store for this season. From glitter skeletons to a girls night with a craft that has us chomping at the bit for late September! (We will share - you’ll want to do this with your friends!). 

And we round it out with a discussion on “looking for a woman who is toned - takes good care of herself” and these insane hinge requests from the 50+ male demographic … meanwhile their own photos are a parade of red flags including receding hairlines, the beginning of moobs, and still using the terms “non monogamy” and “finding my relationship style” - god lord and god bless. 

And - Jenny has a birthday coming up - so this convo lands somewhere between the fight against aging and male audacity. Sorry not sorry - but if you’re using a 3 in 1 body wash and you want us to split the check - don’t invite us. Have you heard about the men with dish soap in their showers? Yes - this is real. And no this isn’t about feminism - this is about the fact that perfume, hair care (color/ cut/ products), nails, gym memberships, waxing, skin care … don’t ask to split the check. 

Shoutout to Core Power Yoga in Mt Pleasant - the entire team is amazing but Hope & Krista have gifted us with a love for yoga again.Apologies for butchering the yoga quote - here it is - and we continue to digest this … “May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears” Nelson Mandela

An incredible episode - a toe dip (because we’re going to have to have her back!) into the world … errr pool of Enneagram with Kelsey Lincoln, a certified Enneagram life coach.  This isn’t about strengths and weaknesses - this is about motivation, and what drives people to navigate the world through unique perspectives.

From first “ick” when you learn your type (and that’s not even easy) to the way you navigate your enneagram in both healthy and toxic ways. She talks us through our types, and yours. We tackle the core motivations that drive the behaviors behind each type : core fear - core desire - core weakness - core longing. Are you a moral perfectionist? A befriender? An achiever? A romantic? An investigator? A loyalist? An entertainer? A challenger? A peacemaker?

Do we have your attention yet?

And does it mean to hire and enneagram mentor - Kelsey coaches clients through identifying their enneagram. But then, as a life coach, she teaches you how to navigate your life in your business and a way that keeps you, lack of a better term because she’s not a therapist (but her sister is!), mentally well. You’ll hear us referee this idea of healthy and what health looks like in your enneagram a lot.

Even better she also has a podcast that she cohost with her sister. They the two ideas of your internal personality and then also mental health to discuss different topics like anxiety and how it presents in the body and then how it presents in each personality type.

And guess what? She’s a mom (of course she is), of a very young child. What’s that thing? People always say? Full hands - fuller heart. Inspired to learn the skill after first experiencing it at a work retreat - she took on the task of getting certified as a Enneagram Coach during Covid. There really is something so amazing about Moms these talents and have these passions and then bring them to audiences like ours and us.

Whether it’s your first time hearing about the Enneagram personality type assessment, or it’s your 100th you are really going to enjoy this episode. and you have a full blessing to spend a little extra time on yourself and your wellness -  learning about yourself, and investing in yourself. We strongly encourage you to give her a follow or even to reach out to her if you think coaching might be for you (and yes - she does coach teams!).

We switch gears between guests - for a deep convo about family and legacy after Raebecca returns home for a family funeral. Something about funerals and weddings have us digging into impact and reflecting on our own personal legacies. And somehow - SOMEHOW - the big take away was … we’re capable of more, today, tomorrow, and more than we originally thought.

When did life become about cars, and big houses and status symbols - after sitting in a pew and listening to a true legacy, we can’t help but wonder what we’re contributing to the betterment. And we get into the weeds about how inadequate society likes to make us feel, when they don’t understand our “why” (and we don’t mean just our why, we mean anyones why). Including this completely inappropriate question we field SO OFTEN - “How much money do you make from the podcast?” - rude.

This journey is about filling our cups - and yours. With humor, perspective, personal growth - we’re tackling the topics that so many of us face. As moms, working moms, entrepreneurs. And naturally that takes us on a left hand turn into college - graduation ceremonies - and our inability to fully be present in our achievements. We dissect our different approaches to control and success - and validation. Dont worry - we talk ALL about our failures, weight gain, beer and boys. Which one of us went to school with the intention to be a kindergarten teacher? You’re going to be shocked. 

And yes - we bring enneagram into this convo - and if you’re an enneagram girl you’re going to want to stay tuned! Next weeks guest is everything ENNEAGRAM - so take the free test and get ready to deep dive into your motivation and drive with our favorite expert.

In loving memory - James Hare

We have KIM RUSSO - from On Brand Designs joining us today - and y’all are in for a treat. We accidentally tried to poison her to kick it off - next time we’re talking allergies before we chose a restaurant (we didn’t know)! She’s got the best sense of humor - and she’s a brilliant entrepreneur … but she also got right into the weeds with us about her personal life, mentality and philosophy - you know that’s our love language.

You might not know - you can’t trademark a logo design you’ve built in canva (without some Olympic efforts). Ever considered the impact AI could have on branding - positive and negative? There’s the potential for the same issue - but on a larger scale … you’re listening now, right?! Unlock the art of building a strong brand identity from a seasoned packaging design professional who’s shaped the visuals of household names like Tide, Gillette, and Kleenex.

Our conversation ranges from minimalist design, color psychology, and the strategy behind memorable logos - but it’s more than business. She opens up about the challenges of transitioning from a corporate environment to her personal business endeavors, and even how a past relationship deeply impacted how she does business. It comes as no surprise - but the impact of a supportive spouse or partner can greatly impact your ability to succeed.

How does owning a business impact your mindset? Hint - she does it with a desk Calendar that’s still set to July 2023. Somewhere between pet portraits - and prioritizing beach time - she delivers a must-listen for anyone struggling with perfectionism or finding their personal brand voice. Kim shares her strategies and mindset tactics on everything from design to how you show up in a design community as a competitor.

She also gives us another personality analysis tool - the human design. From analyzing work habits, to eating habits. Kim enlightens us on life as a “manifesting generator” - and it comes as no shock that her qualities include lighting up a room, inspiring through energy, goal setting and ambition - and ultimately driving achievement in themselves and those around her. You know what they say - you are deeply impacted by the friends and the circle you keep!

“Raise your vibrations - have positive energy - and be in gratitude. And it is not easy.”
- Kim Russo (on being a successful entrepreneur)

Hosting a kids birthday? We’ve got some tips - adult beverages and don’t be stingy on the slices. We said it. We love celebrating your kiddos but we don’t need to be starved and parched - these parties cost us all a few brain cells - help a girl out. 

Septic does Debby, or is it the other way around? If it wasn’t one thing, it’s another. Water is everywhere - from Jenny’s yard to Raebecca’s ceiling, we are drowning in Mount Pleasant. But when does hair washing trump everything else? At what point are you willing to get in your swimsuit and head out into the rain for a hair wash.

We get a little deep into a few personality epiphanies about how people view us. As a retired/ semi retired people pleasers - we dissect the idea that there are people who will think you are the nicest person ever, and in the same breath someone else can view you as the nastiest person ever. And both can be right. The ability to match energy is quickly becoming one of our shared strengths. Even better? When someone thinks that you can think their thoughts. 

Somewhere between planning your own funeral and the cremation debate - we navigate the fact that one of us - often starts their convo 30% into their thoughts - leaving the other fairly bewildered at times.  And the other is entirely too literal. Which - has its own unique complexities. 

This weeks episode lands somewhere between family plots, the lawn mower (yes, our IT guy wants to be left on the front lawn), our favorite Olympic stories - and the incredible impact the women had on this year’s Summer games. This one will leave you in tears - and you better shed them now because Jenny’s not letting it happen at her service.

You thought we took you on a journey with the camel toe episode - but you weren’t ready for the fart walk talk. Jet set to unpaid water bills - we overshare (as always). 

How did a Turkish shooter with minimal gear bag a silver medal or how a nerdy engineer transformed into an Olympic heartthrob on the pommel horse? Where are the romance writers at - surely we’re running this moment into a few spicy novels, right? Something about taking those classes off, gives them the Clark Kent polish - and stands on business.

Something about Snoop - the Olympic Spirit - celebrities like Flava Fav supporting athletes so they can compete at their best, these games have been unforgettable.

Jenny jumps off a plane - and right into recording - after a week long trip with her dad and daughter. How old is too old for Universal - and at 40+ can we just expect to get wrecked when we ride a rollercoaster? The summer is winding down - with our final hurrahs with close family members - daddy daughter days - as adults. Something about it gives us the warm, cozy feeling - and we dig into filling our own cups as school begins and summer ends. 

It wouldn’t be an episode if we didn’t get personal. We recount Raebecca’s email inbox struggles - including an unpaid water bill. From the day she moved in. From ceiling struggle stress to email subject lines - why “YES” felt like “NO” - and the short story of how this happens.

And then farts - kiddos to those couples who can do it. But - could you? Where’s the line between freedom and farts in your relationships? And we want you to weigh in - because we’re on the same page but it’s the one where you get the stomach ache from holding it in. We talk friends who have saved their marriage - through farting, don’t believe us? Give a listen.

How did we get here, you ask? One of us joined yoga - and apparently we both share a massive fear of yoga farts. It’s all fun and games … until someone farts.

We kick it off - talking love languages and our favorite resident nocturnal animal. After a 17 hour drive home and a sunrise view of the Statue of Liberty, we are again ships in the night. A front porch t shirt drop - and today’s recording - are the few moments we stole before one of us was back to jet set. And in classic style - we’re taking you with us on this catch up session.

The act of showing someone you’re thinking of them - will forever be one of our favorite love languages. It’s not just a t shirt - it’s a gesture. And in typical mayhem fashion - we add some depth - debating the qualities of our favorite spirit animals.

And a theme - you know your girl loves a theme. And she headed out to NKOTB in a hot pink bodysuit and silver jellies, coloring the rest of us green with envy. Somewhere between thunderstorms and gas lights - we are still finding romance in the everyday.

And - what’s more romantic than a quickie? We end today’s episode with a conversation about prioritizing family and friends. From scheduling time - and protecting it - no diff than you would  a doctors appointment or time with your stylist - how do you ensure you get time with your people? There’s always room for flexibility - and the impromptu quickie. It’s the balance of both for this duo.

Last week’s snail trail episode was the podcast version of the quickie - and y'all had lots to say about it. We questioned the chaos of it - but you came back and said it was one of your favorite episodes! Something about hearing you say “it felt like I was in the car with you guys” or “on the couch with you” or “at your girls dinner” will always mean so much. We welcome the feedback, and while we know we will continue to grow - we would be remiss if we didn’t snag the opportunity to celebrate your voices and thank you, for everything.

What’s - in a name? Scooby is back. And she’s never been to a fireworks stand. A simple visit to an American institution helps us dip our toes into the pool of rage … but, it’s not what you think. 

What if the simple joys of a local diner experience are being overshadowed by our obsession with perfection and high costs? By our ability to give “feedback”.  Has the ability to complain freely ruining our joy? Since when did breakfast have to be brunch? If we created a food truck - would you come? Where did feedback end, and “complain culture” begin? Is competition to blame - or are we just top tier whiners?

Ever wondered how social media and authenticity intersect in a world dominated by complaint culture? We dive into how relatable, genuine posts can outshine the curated content flooding our feeds. With personal anecdotes and dining experiences, we examine how critical online reviews, particularly those that are unwarranted, can harm small businesses.

Are men and women different in their approach to complaints? Would your rather - service over the meal itself? Where’s the line - where’s the limit - and who is to blame?

Thought we weren’t talking marketing today? Think again. We delve into the pressures new businesses face and the significance of bravery in fostering growth and innovation. Inspired by Jesse Cole and his revolutionary Savannah Bananas, we highlight the value of risk-taking and learning from failure - and yes, sometimes that means quirky skincare routines featuring beef tallow and snail mucin - is comparison the thief of joy? 

It wouldn’t be us - if we didn’t express heartfelt gratitude to our listeners, the "Scoobies," you are the charm to our mayhem - the grace to our chaos. Thank you.
