Schoolin Life Podcast

On this week’s episode, we talk our roles as daughters. Growing up as girls, we were often the apple of our parents’ eye. The hopes and dreams they had for us were endless and we worked to meet and exceed their expectations to make them proud. As adults, the expectations don’t stop and the pressure grows to make our parents proud, to honor what they’ve given us, and to care for them as they cared for us (particularly as they age). Listen as Ashley and Marcy talk about their roles as daughters, how they draw boundaries with their parents, and the rules for being the best adult daughters we can be.

TVTea: Bluff City Law & This is Us

On this week’s episode, we talk the power of self-talk and affirmations. The image of encouraging words written on Post-it notes, plastered all over my bedroom wall Being Mary Jane-style is typically what I think of when I hear the term “self affirmation.” Tacky? yes; a little froufrou? maybe, but speaking life and encouragement over yourself can produce major benefits. Listen to this week’s episode as Ashley and Marcy discuss how they talk to themselves daily, how they interrupt negative self-talk, and why the way you self-talk can make a big difference.   Book Mentioned in this segment: Girl Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis    Are you a highly-motivated woman who needs help developing, defining, and leveraging your leadership skills and personal networks?

On this week’s episode we talk breaking bad habits in life & love. It’s often said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. As creatures of habit & because new things are scary, we often find ourselves “talking”, but not doing, stuck in ruts that we know we shouldn’t be in,and afraid to do things differently. Listen as Ashley & Marcy talk about bad habits, how they are learned (and unlearned) and what they do to get unstuck.
