Remotely Relatable

Do you set personal expectations for yourself that are so unrealistic that when you fall short you feel like a failure? Do you feel an overwhelming pressure to live up to societal expectations even if you know deep down its not the path for you? As a teenager, were you able to dictate what your life would be or were you given the illusion of choice? Yeah, US TOO.  What's that old quote? "Shoot for the moon and if you miss, you'll land amongst the stars" - come hang out in the stars with us as we (try) to get to the root cause of societal & personal expectations & have even have a few epiphanies. 

Our next episode (our tenth!) is going to be a slightly different format, more of an advice column from the days yonder. So send us in your questions! As clean or Jerry Springer as you want & we will give you our advice!

There's no way to sugar coat it folks, we are burnt out. Like, to a *crisp.*  We're willing to bet you're feeling the same. But have no fear! Its not all your fault! Society is set up to burn us out & boy, is it doing a great job. We might not know how to cure it, but we can sure try!

Thanks again to everyone that wrote in about their own experiences with burnout. You are the real MVPs! 

Fear might be natural and innate but that doesn't mean it can't totally paralyze us from living the life we want! If you've ever been or are currently afraid of: the unknown, rejection or failure (to name a few) then you are in good company! Join us as we explore these, and other fears, in a way that won't make you feel like you are battling them alone. We might even laugh a little as we discover some NEW fears..... just kidding... kind of.

Our next episode will be all about Toxicity, in all its forms. Send us any of your thoughts on that too! 

Whats the difference between "self care" & "self love?" Do you feel like they have been over-prescribed as a cure-all? Do they negate a need for a partner? Does Stephanie realize she is actually a narcissist? Run a bath, eat some cake & settle in for a serious(ly silly) conversation on ego, boundaries & how to start down the road of self acceptance. You are your own best friend after all, might as well figure out how to love yourself! 

Have something to add to the convo? We wanna hear it! Send us a message on IG @remotelyrelatable or email at: [email protected]

Our next episode will be all about fear - not the typical fears like heights or spiders, but the deep, keep you up at night kind of fear. Also known as anxiety? Get in on the convo and tell us what fear means to you. 

The theme of this weeks episode is near and dear to our hearts: creativity. We've both struggled with it our whole lives & have realized everyone we know has too.  "Creative" is a loaded word that some think is reserved for a specific few. We are here to tell you, that ain't true! We are all creative, it just manifests differently. We go over the definitions of creativity, what it actually means to us, our ways of (trying) to incorporate little rebellious acts of creativity & some write ins from you guys! If you've ever struggled with creativity or think maybe you *aren't* creative, let us try to change your mind! 

"Are you SURE you don't want kids?" "You'll change your mind, you'll see." "That clock is a tickin!" If you've experienced any (or all) of the above, you know all too well what it's like being a childless woman over the age of thirty (or any child bearing age, really.) And while we love kids & think motherhood is amazing and beautiful for those who want to be mothers, it just ain't for us! So have kids, don't have kids - we don't care! You are beautiful and worthy just as you are. Join us as we un-expertly talk about our experiences & maybe we'll go off on a tangent or two. 

For our third episode, we wanted to share inspiring stories of bad ass women of color who left indelible marks upon the world. Although their stories take place during different time periods, they faced similar issues regarding race, sex and freedom. They had the courage to be themselves, stand up for justice and change history along the way. They helped to pave the way for the modern civil & LGBTQ+ rights movements. Whether it was starting a revolution in the 60's, studying folklore and traditions or writing about the true darkness that plagued the Jim Crow South, these women GOT SHIT DONE! We were both incredibly inspired and hope you are too. We will continue to show up, learn and fight to squash the bugs of injustice that still plague this country. 

If we missed anything or know of another bad ass woman (there are plenty!!) send it our way at [email protected] 

As we celebrate our one year friendiversary, we thought it would be the perfect time to talk about the elephant in the room: adult friendships. Have you ever struggled with making new, lasting friendships as an adult? Do you suffer from depression, loneliness and constantly question your self worth? Does it seem like everyone else is out doing things but you?! US TOO! Join us as we laugh our way through our own adult friendship story and create our own recipe for making friends.
