Should We

In perhaps our most definitive episode yet, we consider the boy brow trend and traverse the personal histories of our respective eyebrows. Should we do trends? Should we experiment? Should we even bother?

Should Lisa go independent? She should. She did! In this episode, she shares how she knew it was time and what it took to take the leap from day job to free range.

This episode flashes back to just before Lisa became a coach. She looks ahead to her first training and reflects on what brought her around to coaching. From where she stands on her own coaching path, Diana asks, what changed?

This episode gets extra real as we reflect on the intermission we took recently. On the other side of a shift, some things just look and feel different. So we pause and ask, should we even take breaks? Do we have to enjoy them? And should we pick everything back up where we left off?

This episode was recorded just before Diana's wedding in June. It captures the whirlwind and the intentions behind an impending change of name and identity.

This time we ask, should we change our names? Should we have websites? Should we archive everything?

This time we finally go there: to the differences between us (the two of us). We've just discovered them, and we're facing them head-on. That's why this episode is bonus-length.

As if that weren't enough, we also define yoga pants vs. leggings (spoiler alert: it's all about context), and discuss the differences between athleisure, dress sweats, and the new *at*-leisure.

Welcome to part 2 of season 3. Intermission is over, and it feels good to be back.

Should we record a live show, with a real live audience? We should. We did! We talked about whether we should help ourselves, and what we like to read when we do.

In case you missed it—or if being there wasn't enough—now you can listen from wherever you are. You'll also get to meet our emcee, Duretti Hirpa, as well as Katie and Nicole Zhu, the fabulous duo behind Sweet & Sour.

Many thanks to Slack for providing the beautiful venue and delicious snacks for this event.

Should we give away other people's money? It's complicated. In this episode, we talk with Kendra Albert about overturning expectations, becoming an activist, and running the Trans Documentation Funding Project.
