August 27, 2024 Can We Overcome Burnout Together? Lessons from Our Community Gathering
Our recent Bella Femme Picnic fundraiser brought people together, offering support, laughter, and a much-needed escape from everyday stresses.
It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and forget to take care of ourselves. That’s why events like this are so important. They remind us to prioritize our mental health, connect with others, and find joy in the simple things.
BUT
There's no denying we're experiencing a little burnout. Would we be crazy if we wanted to go back to the slowness of life during lockdown? What can we do to remind ourselves to treat our community as precious *right now* instead of having it taken away and *then* missing it?

How can we connect through small (and big!) ways to make life -- and achieving our dreams -- a little easier on everyone?

July 30, 2024 What's Up With Swedish Death Cleaning? How To not F*ck Up After You're Gone
Trigger warning: This episode deals with death and dying. Please take care.

So, the other day Amber had an encounter with a woman who was cleaning out her Mother In Law's stuff. In the past few years she has had to deal with too many deaths in her family. Her advice for doing the right thing when facing grief?! "Get your shit together so this doesn't happen to you".

Swedish Death Cleaning is on our minds and -as it turns out - we don't know squat about this process and our collective shit is absolutely NOT together.

Join us on this wild ride where we talk about consumption, appreciation, and burden of all that STUFF.

Feeling the summer squeeze? In this episode of The Bella Femme Podcast, Amber and Emily chat about the pressures of Hustle Culture and wonder what ever happened to, "It Takes A Village"?! We explore the challenges of affording summer activities for kids, the rise of "quiet quitting," and the trade-offs between side hustles and self-care.

Summer Expenses: Can you afford a comfortable summer with kids while "quiet quitting"?

Where's the Village? Discussing the shift from community support to the relentless pursuit of individual achievement.
Join us for a frank conversation about finding balance, prioritizing self-care, and reclaiming the "village" spirit in a world obsessed with hustle.
