Ever wonder what our sister FaceTime calls are really like? This week we just wanted to do a little life check in on each other and chat about all things career, life, love, you name it. AND...*spoiler alert* the podcast gets the exclusive on some pretty big news!!

Sister, mother, friend, wife, dog mom, employee, business owner, and award winning podcaster (obviously), these are some of the titles we carry with us on a daily basis. We aren't just one thing but a combination of a bunch of things that make us who we are. And finding that "work life balance", managing it all, isn't always easy! 

Ah, communication. Something that's so important to all relationships, but not always the easiest to master from the beginning. In today's episode we wanted to break down what healthy communication looks like to us, how we like to go about tough conversations, and what we did to improve our communication skills over the years.

This is a VERY special podcast episode as our favorite middle child, Patricia, turns 30!! We wanted to reflect a little on our twenties, things Patricia has learned in the last decade, how she has grown as an individual, and the impact living life has had on our confidence. 

Have you ever had somebody look into your eyes and it feels like they are looking directly into your soul? Like they can read you for who you truly are, they genuinely want to know how you're doing in that moment, and you have nothing left to do but be vulnerable? Well today we want to talk about vulnerability and how it shows up in the work place as well as our daily lives. 

We all know Patricia has an I Am Awesome playlist (that honestly we all need access to) but what other tricks do we have up our sleeves when it comes to lifting our spirits and getting out of a bad mood? Well today we're breaking it down. Sharing 8 tips that work for us, that might work for you too!

Ever wonder if you have any food allergies or sensitivities that you didn't know about? It took us 20+ years to discover we had food sensitivities and to use trial and error to figure out what worked best for our bodies. So today we're diving deep on the topic of food. Discussing everything from the proper way to eat a bagel to farting too much in the mornings. It may be a little TMI, and is definitely making Cathrin less attractive to our 9% male audience, but it's made a huge impact on our lives today!

This week we're holding each other accountable to the goals we set at the beginning of the year by doing a 6 month check in. Are we holding true to the intentions we set, what new habits have we created, and is it time to pivot on a goal that no longer aligns with the direction we want to go?

Spoiler alert: one of our goals for this year WASN'T to create a podcast or become a brain surgeon, but we talk about both in this episode. Why? Well we're almost half way through the year which is the perfect time to check in and reflect on our progress toward our yearly goals. But before we do that, we need to share the goals and intentions we set for 2022, why (and how) we committed to them, and our words for the year. Learn about Cathrin's goal setting mindset, Patricia's intention setting strategy, and when we first joined forces in setting goals together.

What do you do when the unexpected happens? When life throws you a terrible curve ball that you don't know how to handle? When it seems too difficult to get off the bathroom floor and at least shower? In today's episode, we wanted to talk about how we picked ourselves up during tough times, moved beyond the survival mode, and what support others offered that provided us the most comfort.
