Remember that big celebration episode where we hit 21 episodes and announced our new course launch dates? Yeah… and then we vanished. Oopsie 😅

In this episode, we’re catching up on everything. Trying to get back in the groove, comparing ourselves to people who “have it all together,” and realizing how much more balanced (and way less stressed) we’ve become since starting Ayrre.

We talk about how wild it feels to go from constant corporate stress to building something that actually gives us peace, and how grateful we are to be doing life and business on our own terms. Plus, we give a little sneak peek at what’s coming next 👀

Welcome to On Ayrre! We’re done following the path we were told to take. This is us documenting our journey to break free from expectations, redefine success on our own terms, and build a life that actually feels right. Along the way, we share the highs, the struggles, and everything in between PLUS what we’ve learned about building businesses, keeping your numbers clear, and embracing the chaos of entrepreneurship.

They say most podcasts don’t make it past episode 20… but here we are at episode 21, champagne (prosecco) popped, confetti flying (sort of), and feeling so grateful for everyone who’s tuned in so far. 🥂✨

But this milestone isn’t just about us sticking it out. It’s about launching the first step in something so much BIGGER.

On October 1st, our BRAND-NEW COURSES go live.

This isn’t just about bookkeeping. It’s about rewriting the story. We know what it feels like to be stuck in jobs and lives that don’t light you up. We’ve lived that version of ourselves. And now we’re here to empower YOU to be the person that’s bold enough to chase freedom, build something real, and find happiness on your own terms.

Episode 21 is proof that sticking with the dream pays off. And this course? It’s the first step in helping you stick with yours.

We sat down to record with a real topic in mind. Truly. Cross our hearts. But about 5 minutes in it went the way of every New Year’s resolution gym membership... over before it even started. What you’re getting instead is pure, unfiltered chit chat. AKA verbal diarrhea at its finest. ✨

Somewhere between the side tangents and dramatic sighs, we actually covered some solid ground:

Why “leveling up” all the time is exhausting 🙄

Pretending to be a morning person

Setting sky-high expectations and then roasting ourselves when we don’t hit them

Plus about seventeen other random topics we barely remember

Basically, this episode is like hanging out with your friend who asks, ‘Do you want the long or short version?’ and when you say ‘short,’ they still take you through every detail and side quest for the next three hours.

So grab a coffee and get comfy because this one is basically free therapy with way more side tangents.

The world of online business advice? Absolute Wild West. No rules, no consistency, just a flood of conflicting tips, dramatic hot takes, and “secret formulas” that all swear they’ll change your life. One video tells you to scale overnight, the next tells you to slow down and “manifest” it. Meanwhile, the self-proclaimed gurus are out here on their private jets selling success with a side of sleaze.

In this episode, we saddle up, hit play, and start roasting. Expect:

Disclaimer: No shade to the creators themselves. We love that they’re putting ideas out there. We’re just here for the laughs, the light roast, and to make the Wild West feel a little less overwhelming.

🎧 Tune in for the roasts, stay for the relief of realizing it’s not you, it’s the advice.

On paper, getting an investor feels like leveling up. In reality? Sometimes it’s just agreeing to ride shotgun in someone else’s mood swings.

We’re talking about our own experience. The constant changes in direction, the unpredictable energy, and the creeping realization that we were building a business no one actually wanted. What started as a something promising, turned into a game of guess today’s vision. Spoiler: it changed a lot.

In this episode, we’re breaking down why investors aren’t always the magic fix, how misalignment can wreck your momentum, and the subtle signs you’re about to lose control of your own business.

You’ll hear:

How fast you can lose control of the business you started.

Why vision alignment is non-negotiable.

The way investors can fracture a team, even without meaning to.

The true cost of giving up equity too soon.

Sometimes the biggest risk in taking on an investor isn’t losing money, it’s losing the plot.

We packed s’mores, swimsuits, and way too much confidence in our ability to “work from nature.”

Naturally, everything went off the rails in the most character-building way possible.

In this episode, we’re recapping our chaotic camping weekend: the tech fails, the last-minute launch scrambling, and the moment one of us finally conquered a fear that’s been 30 years in the making (after several extremely public wipeouts).

Inside:

The moment nature tested our “we’ll just work from the campsite” plan

A very humbling journey from fear to triumph (on water skis, no less)

Why trying new things, even badly, is the best kind of breakthrough

Turns out, touching grass comes with plot twists and a few bruises we’re weirdly proud of.

Tune in for chaos, courage, and an accidental reminder that it’s never too late to try (or fail) gloriously.

Let’s be real, you were never meant to spend your life crafting the perfect two-sentence email or pretending to care about Q3 synergy. You're better than that.

In this episode, we’re talking about why working for ourselves is ✨elite✨ and why you should absolutely start that business you’ve been daydreaming about during staff meetings. (yes, everyone's noticed you zoning out)

We get into:

Never writing another resume again (We're allergic)

The freedom of only caring about things you actually care about

Full control of your time (PTO? Never heard of her)

Unlimited earnings? Check ✅

Why running a business is way more fun than it is scary

This isn’t a productivity pep talk. It’s your push out of the cubicle.

✨If you’ve been waiting for a sign from the universe, here it is: START. THE. BUSINESS.

You had a late-night brainstorming session and now you're designing a logo and checking domain names like your life depends on it? RELATABLE.

In this episode, we’re throwing your business idea into the ring and asking the hard-hitting questions like:

Is this actually viable? Or is it just a ✨vibe✨?

We cover:

The real questions to ask yourself before you dive in headfirst

How to tell if your idea solves a real problem or if it just makes you feel cool

Where the line is between passion project and business (hint: money talks)

Scrappy ways to validate your idea before you go broke

We’re walking through vibe checks, market tests, and spicy truths to help you figure out if your idea is actually solid or just your latest hyperfixation. Because building a business takes more than good vibes and a Canva moodboard.

And if this episode's tough love makes you second guess everything? That’s kind of the point. ❤️‍🔥 

🎧 Give it a listen, then DM us your most unhinged business idea.

This episode is dedicated to anyone who’s said “We should totally start a business together!” after one good brainstorming session and a large iced coffee.

We may have done that. And somehow… it worked?

We’re diving into what actually makes a business partnership thrive (hint: it’s not matching aesthetics and good vibes. Although we've got those too 😏).

In this episode, we're talking about:
– The non-negotiables we didn’t know were non-negotiable until things got messy
– The real MVPs: emotional intelligence, honesty, and shared goals
– Why complementary skills > being carbon copies
– Selfishness vs. selflessness (and how that shows up in the day-to-day)
– How two very different brains can build something even better together
– And why this whole thing is kind of like dating… but with bank accounts involved

If you’ve ever wondered whether you and your bestie, your sibling, or that one person from a networking event could actually run a business together… consider this your crash course in what to look for (and what to run from).

This episode is dedicated to the ones who downloaded a habit tracker and used it for… two days.
Hi, it’s us. We’re the problem.

We took the Four Tendencies Quiz and... drumroll please... we’re both Rebels🔥💅🏽. Which explains a lot. Like why structure makes us itchy and why entrepreneurship feels like home (hellooo new challenge every five minutes ✨).

We’re diving into:
– Why routines sound comforting but feel like suffocating
– That fine line between wanting to grow and never feeling good enough
– How we accidentally built a business that perfectly matches our Rebel energy (always evolving, always exciting, never the same two days in a row)

So if you're on your 7th “new morning routine,” wondering if it’s you or the system (spoiler: it’s both🫶🏼), come hang out. We promise zero productivity hacks and 100% real talk.
