Table Talks w/ Jocelyn & Alyssa

Everything in moderation with educated consumerism. This week we dive into the health effects of caffeine and our own personal experiences with caffeine, stimulants, sugars, and sedatives. We cover how dark chocolate and even ice cream can have caffeine along with where else it’s hiding that you might not expect.

We spend a great part of our lives living in the future, sometimes in the past, but very rarely in the present. This year taught us a great deal of how important it is to live in the present moment. We spend this episode taking a trip down memory lane of what this year really meant and how much we learned, grew, fought, cried, laughed, and explored ourselves. Join us as we talk about what a wild and chaotic ride 2022 has been.

Alyssa and I talk about the impact that emotionally draining people have had on us. While also playing devils advocate for those that feel like they are the emotionally draining person. We share tips for both of you and truly take the time to unpack some of our past experiences in the hopes that it helps you feel validated, heard, and hopefully a bit more understood.
