That's Not What Andrea Told Me

Today, we are talking about self-care and burnout and some of the things we do to embrace self-care and prevent burnout - all with varying levels of consistency and success. Covid has changed our outlook on the time we need for downtime and time to recharge. If any of this rings true for you, hit us up and let us know what you do for self-care!

It's the first Three on the Three's of Season 2! With us today, we have our friend Chris whom, you might remember, had the original idea that Andrea and I should podcast! Chris has been sending holidays and long weekends with us, going to wedding and funerals, running races, being Andrea's plus one and so much more. He delves into the hinterland of his psyche, shares some of his favorite memories with us but also keeps it real by making sure that we know... he's capable of being unimpressed. 

Thanks for tuning in! 

Reading is hands down one of our favorite things to do. After we finish something good, we always feel the need to spread the word to each other and beyond. So, you'd think that book clubs would be our jam - turns out they are very much not. In today's episode, we talk about some of our favorite books and our book club experiences. Tell us if you'd had any similar to ours!

Listeners!! We are back for Season two of TNWATM!! We're so excited for this season, we have lots of ideas teed up but obviously welcome your suggestions as well. All throughout season one, our mom (Kalita) had corrections, factoids and general thoughts/feelings about the episodes. It always cracked us up as she described herself yelling into the car when she could remember what we forgot. SO, we asked her to go back and relisten to ALL our episodes and write down her corrections and, y'all, she actually did it. A mother's love, amiright? 

Unfortunately, Kayse had some internet issues during this episode so you won't hear much from her but we hope you enjoy this walk through memory lane of last years episodes that are largely us walking through memory lane of our lives.

Dropping the "E" on this episode because we do say a few bad words! Sorrrryyyyy.

*Episode updated with audio correction.

It's a wrap on Season 1, folks!! Thank you so much for coming with us on this journey! We're excited to share the final Three on the Three's on Season One with you - an interview with Andrea's friend Tracy - and wrapping up our brief New Year series. We talk running, races, exercise and because we are us, a little bit about dogs. 

See you next season!

Unpopular opinion: I hate the movie Forest Gump but as a runner person, I love this quote. You were warned that we were continuing our New Year, Who Dis theme, so this week's episode is about our family's general interest in exercise, our experience as "runners" and the other physical activities we like or have done. If you want tips, advice or just our general opinions on most types of exercise - you should enjoy this episode! Thanks for listening!

This is the second to last episode of Season 1 of TNWATM! Make sure you send in your episode requests to [email protected] or message us on IG (tnwatm_podcast). We have the beginning of Season 2 lined out but if your idea is good enough (no pressure), we will rearrange our order!

We're halfway through January - usually by now people have ditched their resolutions (if you made one in the first place) and we're back to our usual shenanigans. Hopefully though, if you're looking for a new job or a new career, you haven't thrown that dream out yet. Today, we reminisce about our old jobs and talk a bit about the corporate America job market (from Kayse's perspective) and the academia job market (from Andrea's perspective). If you're on the hunt for a new job, hopefully it makes you feel a bit less alone - we see you, it is tough out there! If you're a happy camper in your job - yay you! Thanks for tuning in and we hope you enjoy!

To officially wrap up the holiday season, we're talking about some non-holiday traditions on this installment of 3 on the 3's. Our guest is our grandmother, Audrey (our dad's mom), as the arbiter of many of these traditions. If you're a Houstonian you may get some ideas on things to do downtown and maybe you'll even want to create your own culture weekend! As usual, Kayse remembers basically nothing but luckily Andrea has some recollections from our childhoods. Thanks for tuning in!

We have a short and sweet bonus episode for you today. We decided to tell a few stories about our grandpa, Carroll/Papa, who inspired the name of our podcast. We recorded on his birthday but we weren't quick enough to get it out that day! We hope you enjoy the episode and apologies for Kayse's terrible audio quality!

Happy Holidays, dear listeners! We absolutely love this time of year. I (Kayse) love decorating my house, wrapping presents, the cooler weather. I just love it all. Today's episode isn't just about how much we/I love the Holidays though. We're actually talking about our family's holiday traditions. If you just dozed off, I promise it'll be more interesting that than. Between the two sides of our family, we have one that adheres rigidly to tradition while the other takes a more laissez-faire approach to the Holidays. Those powers combined have given us a funny take on what the Yuletide generally looks like. As always, thanks for listening! We're glad you're here.
