Not An Influencer Podcast

We are coming in hot and spicy with this first episode of Season 2. 

There are some major updates, including one of us dropping the "I'm single" bomb. The conversation opens up to what it looks like navigating the single life, including Natalie's personal mission to help men open up more, and we learn that therapy sessions can happen in the strip club (you heard it here first folks). We also get into how to effectively communicate boundaries with men when they are hitting on you and listening to yourself when you feel uncomfortable. 

This episode is important for all people to listen and learn from our personal stories of discomfort in club settings, and has some PSA's for men who are trying to (respectfully) up to their flirt game. 

Join us in our different perspectives, new life updates, and going out adventures (WE BACK BABY)!

We are back with a “life-date” and share how we are on different journeys right now (AND THAT’S OKAY). We get into our perspectives on how it feels to adult, whether it be post-COVID hot girl summer plans, moving out with boyfriends, adult hangovers, we got you covered. Our heart-to-heart quickly turns into a necessary friendship check-in on our confidence levels and the topic of selfie dysmorphia. 

You won't want to miss our personal stories on how selfie dysmorphia has played a role in our lives, the controversial views on the role social media influencers play in creating selfie dysmorphia, and our thoughts on how to end the cycle (hint: when in doubt, go for Shrek).

This weeks episode we have our FIRST guest on, and he is bringing some major personal and relationship growth lessons to the table. Our guest enlightened us with the male perspective on body image in the fitness industry, relationship challenges, and how social media toxicity plays into the mix. We ask him some deep questions to get to the bottom of how the male brain works, from following insta models to his thoughts on therapy. 

And let me tell you, we got answers.

This episode focuses on our ultimate goal of real talk where we share our unfiltered personal growth journey’s and spill our opinion on hot topics, like IT girls and the era of hustle culture. You’ll get to know us on a deeper level, and see how much we are OVER the unrealistic morning routines of influencers. We put a positive spin on the dark moments we have been through, and what inspired us to give less energy into what influencers tell us, and more into what makes us happy. If you want to hear some insightful self-reflections accompanied by our opinions on the subjectivity of success and productivity, this episode is for you. 

So, put that god damn green juice and 5-minute journal down and give this one a listen.

The anxiety is REAL in this episode.

We discuss our different experiences with handling anxiety, and set new friendship boundaries as they come up. Natalie adds a little bit of *spice* with her emotional intelligence knowledge, as we navigate conversation around performance and social anxiety. We even throw in some of our personal coping mechanisms for our anxiety (free of charge). 

If you are looking for a free therapy session, look no further.

Can you get cancelled from talking about cancel culture? If so then consider us cancelled.

This episode starts off with some holiday cheer and Christmas magic. We discuss our worst and best moments from holidays past, from failed Christmas gifts to divorced parents. Then, we dive into a rousing yet slightly nerve racking (for us) discussion surrounding the new phenomena known as cancel culture. We end with assumptions from our listeners and try to figure out who is the DUFF of the group (don't tell us).

Love is seriously in the air. Episode 5 is here and it’s all about how love languages are REAL (we know some of you are still in denial). We chat about discovering our own love languages and how they’ve changed throughout past and present relationships. We give advice on how to talk about love languages with a partner, friend, or family member. If you want to learn more about the five languages of love (or are just interested in hearing us rant about what pisses us off in relationships), then tune in! Side note – this was our first recording via Zoom, so please be advised that there are plenty of awkward pauses.
