On Wednesdays We Wear Blazers

Goodbye, Blazer Nation!  Katie signs-off one last time.

Keep bossing up - keep showing up - keep being true to yourself - keep editing your self-story - journal - meditate - get good sleep - create positive habits - stay away from stress - know the room - organize - be honest - keep moving forward - live a life of integrity - set healthy boundaries - follow through on your resolutions - be a woman of action - trust your gut - love more - get that dopamine - eat pizza and ranch as much as possible - just break up with him and always remember that nobody cares about you...

What's up, Blazer Nation?!

Katie and Nora have been talking a bunch about their health journeys... as of today, Katie is on day 38 of 75 Hard (woot woot!! she's a beast) and Nora has lost 19 lbs following NOOM (can we get an "AMEN"??)

We are six weeks out from our "Resolutions" podcast and thought we'd take a minutes to reconnect to our resolutions?  How's your journey going??  What obstacles have you encountered?  What's keeping you from staying on track?  What's motivating you to be your best self?  How is your self-story playing a role in your journey?

Remember Amanda?  The girl who, against all odds, LOST weight in the the beginning months of the pandemic?  Guess what??  She kept it up and is swimming in her denim... imagine that, jeans that are too loose?!  Say what??

For those of you looking to be inspired or to all of us who need to re-ignite our drive, we bring you Amanda's story again.  Don't become complacent - here is where our commitment to our resolutions gets hard. Now is when the devil on your shoulder tells you it's quitting time, that you'll never succeed.  Flick him off and buckle up!

Don't fall prey to self-sabotage.  Don't give up because of a plateau or a Super Bowl weekend of over indulgence.  Keep kicking a&% and making yourself the priority.

We see you.  We support you. And we know you've got this!!

As always, we want to hear from (gorgeous) YOU!!  How are your doing in your resolutions game?  Share your successes!  We love a good celebration!! Spill the tea - we want to hear it all!!

Let's keep showing 2021 who's boss - for reals!!

Sigmund Freud was wicked smart.  His concept of displacing one’s feelings onto a different person, aka projection, in order to avoid confronting uncomfortable or unacceptable feelings or impulses about oneself is a brilliant coping mechanism.  “It’s not me, it’s totally you.”  The problem with projection, Blazer Nation, is that it inhibits connection and keeps us from acceptance of our true self.  Noone is perfect and when we project we fail to recognize our own faults and insecurities.   We don’t own our s&*t and we get stuck.

 

This week Katie and Nora talk projection and wonder what each of us assumes about others.  What qualities do we unfairly attribute to others in order to shame dump?  How do we reconcile blame shifting and how can we stop the projection cycle?  Better yet, how do we recognize when and why we project (because, let’s face it, we all do) and what can we do to healthily cope when we are in a self-critical state?

 

As always, we want to hear from (gorgeous) YOU!!  What assumptions do you make? Tell us how you project?  Been projected on?  How do you recognize when you aren’t owning your S*&%?  Need relationship advice? Spill the tea - we want to hear it all!!

Feeling irritated?  Unmotivated?  Not sleeping?  Eating too much or not eating enough (I wish)?  Being snippy with your loved ones?  Perhaps you are under a bit of stress, Blazer Nation.  Is it any wonder in these COVID times that we’ve reached our boiling point? Life is hard and stressful. And stress, stress can do a body bad.  Hello high blood pressure! How can we handle stress in our personal and professional lives?  Stress - the feeling of emotional or physical tension and your body’s reaction to a challenge or a demand - ain’t all bad.  Who knew?  Some stress can be good and lead to positive change and results - don’t believe us, tune in. 

 

Join the stress-free conversation with Katie and Nora and figure out how to put a lid on your stress and not become a “boiling frog” - it’s a fable thing.

 

As always, we want to hear from (gorgeous) YOU!!  What stresses you out? How does stress manifest in your life? How do you handle your stress?  How does your stress level contribute to your self-story? Need relationship advice? Spill the tea - we want to hear it all!!

We've all been there - at one point or another, whether in a friendship, a romantic relationship, a job, a health routine, or a financial situation, we've felt STUCK, in a rut, like we are sinking in quicksand -  unable to move forward and unable to imagine staying.  

Anxious, overwhelmed, hopeless, afraid, helpless, paralyzed - these are the words associated with feeling stuck. YUCK.  Fret not, the podcast gets happier - we promise. 

Are we ever truly stuck, Blazer Nation?  Time stops for no-one  - #wearenotthatspecial.  When we are feeling stuck, our problem is that we are thinking wrong.  Join Katie and Nora's conversation and unlock your power to break free from the rut of being stuck.  Learn to quit talking and start doing.  Move from overwhelmed to in-control.  From hopeless to hopeful. From afraid to excited.  From helpless to confident and from paralyzed to able. YOU can do it - just do something!

As always, we want to hear from (gorgeous) YOU!!  Have you been feeling stuck?  What is one small step you can make?  Share your secrets of making a change and changing your thinking.  How are your resolutions coming along?Spill the tea - we want to hear it all!!

What do you do when no one is watching, Blazer Nation?  Do you keep your promises?  Do you tell the truth?  Are you a person of your word?  This week, Katie and Nora talk integrity - in the workplace, in your relationships and with yourself.  We talk the talk, but do we walk the walk?  Dive deep in the “I” word to avoid the traps, follow your moral compass and stay the course.  How does your self-story get in the way of living a life of integrity?  Before we can be our best selves we need to know ourselves.  In order to honor our truth we need to be honest with ourselves about WHO we want to be and WHAT our values are.  What virtues are our non-negotiables?  At our core, what is our character?  Are we the person we say we are when the path gets difficult?  Do we falter in the face of adversity? Do we cut corners?   This episode is an integral (see what I did there?) part of our journey to become, be, and remain our best selves - so tune in!

 

Hey!  We went FaceBook LIVE for number 53!  You know, ‘cuz we’re so tech savvy… Like our FaceBook page and follow us to keep up-to-date and be part of the party.

Happy New Year, Blazer Nation!  New year, new us, right??  This year I am going to lose 50 pounds, pay off all debt, quit booze, stop drinking caffeine, run a marathon, become a golf pro, cure cancer, and purchase every child a puppy dog.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I could never stop drinking caffeine - hello?  COFFEE!!  

If you're anything like 92% of the population, Blazer Nation, you have follow-through issues when it comes to your resolutions. Why is it so difficult to make, keep and succeed when it comes to the goals we set for ourselves?  Perhaps it's because of our lack of planning.  Because we search for the easy way out. We lack follow through and support.  We have an inability to see the forest through the trees. Maybe we aren't willing to make a "firm purpose of amendment" (thank you, Bob Conlon).  What if the self-story we tell ourselves is in direct conflict with our goal?

This week Katie and Nora hash all things resolutions and we invite you along on our journey.  Let's finally be part of the eight percent, Blazer Nation. Let's stop being wishy washy and start believing in ourselves and trusting in our ability to work hard for what we want.

As always, we want to hear from (gorgeous) YOU!!  What are your resolutions?  Have you been successful in your goals?  Share your tips and tricks?  How do you think Katie is faring in her 75 Hard AF Day challenge?  What is your self-story and how does it align with the person you aim to be? We want to hear it all!!

Boundaries.  Wanna talk about 'em?  Well here it goes...  Free your mind, Blazer Nation and tune in this week to gab with the girls about boundaries.  Not to be confused with over-sharing (think - areolas), boundaries are the limits you decide work for you on how others can treat you, how others can behave around you, and what others can expect from you. You might have a boundaries problem if, you're constantly taking responsibility for other people's feelings and reactions and/or expecting others to take responsibility for your own feelings or reactions.  Sound complicated?  Not your circus, Blazer Nation.  Struggle with guilt? Anxiety? Decision making?  Sounds like a boundaries problem to us. Setting clear boundaries is a sign of physical and emotional health.  You don't need to please everyone.  You don't need to sacrifice your own comfort and well-being for the sake of anyone else's. Repeat after Nora. "No." Did you know that "no" is a complete sentence? Explanation not needed.  Stop pleasing and start living. Gain confidence.  Earn respect.  Walk the walk and blazer up!

As always, we want to hear from (gorgeous) YOU!!  Did this episode resonate?  Do you struggle with establishing clear boundaries?  Are you a people pleaser?  How have you handled a boundary blunder?  What are your top threes?  We want to hear it all!!

We'll be taking a Holiday Hiatus, BUT can't wait to re-connect in the new year!  See you back in Blazer Nation on January 6th, 2021 (woohooo!!!) - until then, be well, be safe, be happy and be kind! xoxo

"Friends are those rare people who ask how we are, and then wait to hear the answer."

There's a party in Blazer Nation as Katie and Nora celebrate the 50th episode of On Wednesdays We Wear Blazers, and, let it be said, that Katie and Nora know how to party.  Tune in and listen to us and a few of our faithful followers dish all things friendship.  In honor of our 50th, we decided to invite some BN friends to the discussion to dish and celebrate with us.  So, what are the benefits of friendship?  The social structures?  The hierarchy of friendship?  The traps of friendship?  And - do you have the eight types of friends needed for success??  Are you a sampler in search of your polar opposite?  A tight knitter in need of a wise mentor? Perhaps a compartmentalizer seeking a brutally honest confidant?  Have you reached best friend status or all you still hovering in the close friend zone?  What's key? Reciprocity.  Chemistry. Voluntary engagement and, of course, CONNECTION.  Move over acquaintances and FaceBook friends, Blazer Nation is looking for quality over quantity in the friendship department. And, how do you know when a friendship has run its course?  

 

Thank you so much to our guests, our community and YOU for making Blazer Nation the incredible network it has become.  It feels great and we are honored to call you friends.

As always, we want to hear from (gorgeous) YOU!!  Did this episode resonate?  What is your definition of friendship?  Are you a sampler, a compartmentalizer or a tight knitter?  Do you have a friend you want to give a special shout-out to?  How do you handle the dreaded friend break up?  And, do you think Bob passed out directly after recording? We want to hear it all...

Remember the honeymoon phase?  The days where everything he or she said was perfection?  The magical make-out sessions that you hoped would never end?  Now think of the moments when his breathing irritated you?  The times you thought looking at her for one more second might make you puke? Was it his lopsided face?  Her smell of communicable disease or hereditary incompatibility (it's totally a thing)? What makes us such suckers for love?  And, why can love be such a sucker punch?  This week Katie and Nora fall hard for and dive deep into the L-Word.  That's right, Blazer Nation - we are talking LOVE.  Learn about the four stages of love and how our hormones totally f&*k us up at every turn.  Forgive yourself - the dopamine made you blind.  Let go of the past - it was all that crazy oxytocin.  Who knew serotonin was such a cock block?

As always, we want to hear from (gorgeous) YOU!!  Did this episode resonate?  Do you feel lighter? Let us know how hormones renewed or ruined your faith in LOVE? What phase of LOVE are you currently in?  Do you judge other people's relationships by the snippiness in their tone?  What do you think of sticky sheets? We want to hear it all...
