Quarantine Chronicles

Happy Sunday my Quarantini's !!! 

I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! Here is part 2 and the final episode of the Calendar Club with Dan. I'm actually really sad that this two parter is over!! I kind of like having multiple parts to an episode.  If you haven't listened to episode 18, which is Part 1, make sure you go listen to that first.  We start this episode in a funny way, which is me asking Dan a bladder TMI question (LOL). In this episode we talk about time management, especially how to plan the longer mileage days, we talk about DAY 26, when he ran the Boston Marathon route, and SO much more. 

I really hope you guys get inspired by this interview and you want to challenge yourselves in new ways. Think of a goal and go get after it !!!

Hello my Quarantini's !! 

Tonight we talk about a bunch of random stuff!! Would you expect anything else though ?!!! We first start talking about being a millennial and we read some "dark humor" tweets about how much stuff millennial's have gone through. Next, we dive into another ghost interaction I had this week, and we Google why ghosts flicker lights!!! Then the next two topics are health related... we talk about before and after photos and if that's still a thing or not, and finally we talk intermittent fasting !! The very last thing we chat about is murder hornets and why they are IN and MISS RONA IS OUT. 

Honestly, I was drinking my quarantini throughout this whole episode, and I'm wondering if anything I said makes sense.... just kidding.

Hello my Quarantini's !!!

This is my first two partahhh (Two parter). 

OOOO, I'm super pumped about today's episode. We are joined by Dan who is a Police Officer, and he recently completed the calendar club. If you never heard of the calendar club, basically you run 1 mile on May 1st, 2 miles on May 2nd, so on and so on. He completed ALL 30 days in April !! Amazing, isn't it?!!  

This interview is a great combination of being informative and being funny.  I pick his brain for an hour and a half, everything from tips on completing the challenge, to what to eat,  to how to work a full time job and do this, plus so much more!!!! 

Whether you are interested in completing the calendar club or not, I promise this episode will bring you all the information and all the motivation you need to get out there and complete a goal that you've been wanting to do!! 

Feel free to follow Dan on Instagram: @danfreney_

I will see you guys next week for part 2 of this interview !! Enjoy !! 

xoxo

HELLO MY QUARANTINI'S 

You guys!!! This episode, episode 17 was so wild to record for several reasons. For some reason I knew this episode was going to be "wild" before I started recording.  I knew I wanted to talk about the June Challenge, making a Quarantini and my new exciting news!!! Before I recorded, I wanted to get a hat to put my challenge options in, but something told me to find something downstairs. So I thought I would find a hat my papa used to wear, but couldn't find any. So I'm searching around and this little box stands out to me so I chose that.. needless to say .. that box might have had to do  with the GHOST that decided to visit during this episode. But that's not the only wild thing that happens. You hear me get so scared by something I yell at the top of my lungs (don't worry I warn you guys to lower your volume). Thankfully, I had my amazing Quarantini drink to get me through this episode.  

Listen in to find out what June's challenge in, my recipe/how I like it and some ghost action! ENJOY!

Melissa's Quarantini Recipe:

4 oz Lemonade

2 oz Malibu Rum

Hello everyone,

Buckle in, as this is a lengthy but informative podcast.  We talk about a great podcast 10% Happier with Dan Harris called, "How to go easy on yourself during a pandemic. Dan Harris is joined by Dr. Kristen Neff, a leading expert on self-compassion.  We talk about Dr. Kristen's self-compassion 3-step model which is : 1. recognizing your feelings, 2. realizing other people are going through the same things and 3. bringing in compassion and love to yourself.  

There is a lot of information in this episode, but I hope you guys will learn how to not be hard on yourselves during this time of being quarantine.  If there's anything you take from this episode, it's to be kind to yourself and that this pandemic will pass. 

This is my first episode on another podcast, and I tried my best making sure I gave you guys all the information I could.

I hope you all enjoy.

See you guys on Friday!! 

Here is the episode if you want to listen to it:
