We couldn't think of a more perfect episode to release on International Women's Day- a conversation centered around overcoming insecurities + boosting confidence + self worth! 

What we cover in this conversation:

We start the episode sharing some of our personal experiences dealing with low self-esteem and bullying growing up, as well the tools we’ve used to improve our self confidence and body image over the years.

We then call Tedi + Sonya to learn more about their Girl Powerful Project work, and how they help young girls develop a strong sense of self (in a time where depression & suicide rates are skyrocketing among tweens)!

We discuss the importance of affirmations, mantras, journaling, mental health, social media boundaries, mentorship and independent thinking — which are relevant topics and tools for women of all ages looking to improve their state of mind.

Join us for a sister hang that will leave you feeling empowered!

This our second episode in the new format where we “phone a friend” (i.e. an expert) for chat about a topic we think many of you will relate to! The first part of our episode is a solo catch up where we share specific life experiences related to the topic we’re diving into- in this case STRESS.

We’ve both had several jobs that brought us to the brink of burnout and became the catalyst for a slew of health issues which we touch on in the intro.  We then dial in Ruth Elnekave, former Lawyer and current founder of the wellness brand JOYÀ, a line of adaptogenic blends to promote optimal wellness! You’ll learn some of the steps Ruth took to bounce back after a stressful career path that left her with severe adrenal exhaustion + how & why adaptogenic herbs can help lessen the effects of stress in the moment and over time PLUS ways to incorporate them easily into your daily routine!

- Why referring to someone with the proper personal pronoun is so important
