There’s a societal expectation that when you get married, you merge your finances. So what happens to couples in long term, committed relationships without marriage? Finances are a deeply personal, and oftentimes tricky, subject to talk about. Everyone has different money rules and expectations that affect how we split expenses and costs with our partners. Throw in the unreliable income of entrepreneurship and things get even stickier. There’s no “right way” to deal with money, but there’s never a wrong time to have an open conversation about it with your partner—whether you’re married or not.

You need to get a life. No, really. We don’t mean it as an insult—and trust us when we say this applies to us as well—but sometimes as girlfriends, wives, mothers, or just people pleasers in general, we spend so much of our lives doing so much for others that we forget to leave room to do anything for ourselves. For whatever reason, we lose ourselves, and it’s about time you dedicate some time and energy into doing something just for you. When you start doing things for you—when you get a life—you become a happier, more interesting person, you’re able to pull yourself out of a funk, you improve your relationships, and you finally get excited about your own life.

Ep. 490: Get A Life

Sometimes the easiest way to keep up with friends is to follow along with their lives through social media, but people fall through the cracks, and occasionally you’ll see a friend posting a picture of their baby when you never knew they were pregnant to begin with. We aren’t besties with every single person we’ve ever had a friendship with, and there are plenty of people we care about but don’t always click with, for whatever reason. But in our experience, if you want a friend, you have to be a friend, and that looks like showing up for each other, being vulnerable, and allowing yourself to be seen in your full-humanity. 
 Are you responsible with keeping up with friends on social media? [2:16] Unrequited friendships [4:43] Judgement holds a friendship back [6:05] What defines close friendship [8:59] Closeness needs reciprocity [14:06] Give people the chance to hold it down [15:50] You can’t keep up with everyone [19:34]

Ep. 489: Friendships in the Digital Age

In 2020, Danny J and her boyfriend decided to experiment with starting a Shopify business, and in the process, they learned a lot. Starting an online business doesn’t have to look like starting a personal brand, and anyone can build one as long as you have the tenacity required. It may take some trial and error, but if you can learn as you go, you can build a thriving business without ever having to show your face. 
 Anyone can start a Shopify business [1:09] A brief history of Make Me Yellow Co [2:54] When the business started to pick up steam [8:14] Building a system and scaling [11:11] Understanding your operating costs [12:34] Not every idea will be a good one [14:39] Research your competitors [16:23] Test out all the variables [17:42] Running a business without showing your face [20:25] You can build and sell a business, too [22:35]

Ep. 488: Starting a Shopify Business

Charisma—we all want it, but what exactly is it? And if we don’t have it naturally, are we just screwed? There’s a pervasive myth about charisma that you either have it or you don’t, and if you don’t have it, you can’t be taught, but we think that’s bullshit. Sure, some people are naturally charismatic, but you can definitely develop your own charisma, and it starts by understanding everything that makes someone charismatic. Once you know the areas you might need some work on, it’s easy to get tactical and work on feeling more likable. 
 What is charisma? [1:16] Someone with power can impact others [3:53] How power translates on the internet space [5:38] Being present with the people you speak to [7:26] Warmth by showing people you care [10:26] Get tactical about your charisma [15:40]

Ep. 487: Can Charisma Be Taught + Why Should You Care?

We’re in need of online etiquette coaching, and quickly. We grew up being taught that if you can’t saying anything nice then you shouldn’t say anything at all, but that doesn’t seem to fly on the internet anymore. Our name for it is drive-by trolling: some stranger rolls into your comment section, says something so incredibly rude (that they’d never say to your face), and then gets mad if you try to defend yourself. And of course, they face no consequences for their asshole behavior. We’re sure it’s just a way for them to feel significant or important in some way, but we’re sick of being kicked around by some stranger on the internet that doesn’t have the confidence to share their own lives online. Maybe it’s time for some internet hall-monitors? 
 No one is teaching online etiquette [5:05] Consequences for being a drive-by asshole [9:17] A way to feel significant [12:59] We feel entitled to free content [16:32] Creators are people too [19:32] Where are the internet police when you need them?
