Level up. Another guest! He’s seriously all the things. Colt Briner of Scrappy AF Solutions joins us for this “session” and boy was it ever a SESSION (especially starting at 40 minutes). In a discussion of empathy and needs-based communication Colt, Rebecca, and Erin dive deep into the challenges people have communicating their core needs and thus, the feelings that are present as those needs are not met. Hang on for this ride

“Goose”, we mean Rebecca, starts us off in the usual hippy shop way with mixed reviews about the red grounding chakra. Rebecca discloses that the charity she has supported for 10 years, The Front Row Foundation, is closing its doors and they discuss the ways in which grief has revealed itself in the last few months. They read their first sponsorship message EVER (yay!) for ConcernCenter and with the remaining 20 minutes Rebecca convinces Erin that they’ve talked about empathy enough and instead, should play We’re Not Really Strangers.

Erin and Scott have a moment - one that, of course, Erin needs to process. How many times do conversations like this happen, feelings fly, and no one gets a chance to talk it out? Well not on The More Love Podcast! Rebecca sits back and enjoys being an active observer this time instead of a participant. Then they move on to some videos that Erin knew Rebecca was for sure going to hate. Rebecca did not disappoint.

Despite Erin’s urging, Rebecca still remains unprepared to talk about empathy boundaries and convinces her that it’s just a successful defense tactic. They dive deep into the story behind Erin’s “Ws”, Rebecca’s hatred of eyes, and even Scott joins in on the neuroses! Part II of Empathy Boundaries focuses on places where they both struggle to put empathy boundaries in place. Surprise, surprise, Erin’s list is much longer. Fill us in on where you struggle with setting boundaries around empathy.

Rebecca’s voodoo shop remains open, this time focused on the heart chakra. Erin remains skeptical, but not as skeptical as she is about Rebecca’s bedroom portal… They then move into discussing the scenarios in which their empathy boundaries are securely in place. Where do you have good empathy boundaries? When are you clear that empathy stops and a strong boundary begins? Join us next week for Part II of this discussion.

Episode 109: Rebecca takes over the podcast with her voodoo shop trinkets, mermaid incense burner, and chakra oils. Not only that, but Rebecca also decides to suggest a movie that she and Erin should watch together, prefaced only with, “It’s a movie about empathy”. This episode dives deep into their review of the movie The Whale and concludes with a decision to leave the show’s content creation to Erin from now on.

After Rebecca and her “beehive” give some Amazon return tips the girls jump into their weekly tarot reading and showcase their new sound bite button. A video about an angry, resistant cat parallels Rebecca and Erin’s relationship and yet again becomes the topic of an empathy discussion. What are your empathy limits? Do you give unlimited chances?

Episode 107:

Lots of people (more than Rebecca, Erin, and Erin’s mom) are listening to The More Love Podcast and the girls are in shock! After processing the feedback, comments, love, and support they received post-launch they show off their new merch (thanks to Kelli-up-the-street from a not-yet-created-business she will call Imperfect By Kelli) and openly discuss Rebecca’s unique “experience” with service providers.

Episode 106: After an intense Tarot reading and commentary about Erin’s bra selection, the girls unpack a video about the topic of Weaponized Incompetence and the role that Empathy plays in choosing to disregard other people’s requests. What do you think? Leave us a comment, below!

Episode 105: Never a dull moment, Rebecca and Erin share the most ridiculous stories of their best friendship and show how empathy and vulnerability are alive and well in their everyday lives. What would you have done if you saw Rebecca walking around the store with her lip stain? Have you had an espresso bean moment? Who covered for you? Rebecca said it best, “The more vulnerable you can be with the people you trust and love, the more memories you can make… the deeper level of connection there always will be.”
