We’ve fucked up and started over and changed our minds so many times in this life that we lost count. In our younger years, we made a lot of decisions that we thought other people wanted us to make and when we wanted to do something different, we waited for someone to tell us it was okay before we acted. But here’s a tip, Bestie: it’s not your job to convince someone to “get” you. There will always be people who don’t understand why we make the choices we do, but instead of waiting for someone else to get it, just be you and eventually you’ll get the affirmation you’re looking for. Life is too damn short to be living it for someone else.

There’s so much comparison at the beginning [3:24]

Letting your parents down [7:52]

Feeling alone and judged in your decisions [11:16] 

Detaching from the outcome and keep taking action [13:38]

You might have to be the one to go first [21:43]

Somehow, it’s a new year again and this time we’re feeling neither well-rested, nor excited to do it all again. It’s almost like the years start coming and they don’t stop coming. Wish someone could have warned us about all that. But even though we’re exhausted, we’ve got plans for 2025 that include both leaning in to and leaning away from social media and… getting married! With the bad things in life, good can always coexist. So even if we’re feeling shitty or sorry for ourselves a little, we can always celebrate love when we find it.

As much as we all love being petty (and you know we’re good at it, too) there is something to be said about being the “bigger person.” While the un-evolved versions of ourselves might like pointing out when Brenda is acting like an idiot, that kind of negativity never brought out the best in anyone. Whether you realize it or not, people are looking to you to see how you act. Are you proud of the way you handle conflict? Do you respond to situations rather than react? Maybe it’s less “fun” tone the bigger person, but the way we show up in conflict matters.

Let’s normalize taking a break. Our society focuses heavily on constant productivity and hustling 24/7 but let’s be honest, it’s just not sustainable! Sometimes your creative well dries up or you just need a little more rest, and that’s normal. If you don’t make time for yourself, the universe might just force it upon you. Soooo… let’s just all take the rest of 2024 off, yeah? We're already doing it 😜

As the year comes to a close, there is a lot of messaging to keep going, to push through—to push harder, even. We’d like to offer up another perspective: chill the f*ck out. Jokes aside, we like to use December as a month to reflect on the past year and prepare for the next. Want to perform a 2024 audit? Here’s how we do it. (We do say 2021 in this episode, but hey, it still works for 2024!)

Yes, food is fuel but it is so much more than that. Food is community and connection, and honestly, sometimes that shit is simply delicious. We used to be those kinds of people who weighed every ounce of food and cried if you asked for a bite—aka, we were obsessed and dysfunctional. Now we can share food without a second thought and it no longer has the same kind of power over us. If you’re stuck in an unhealthy relationship with your food, know that food freedom is possible! It takes a little mindfulness and a lot of practice, but we’re here on the other side, waiting for you to join us (and share a French fry or two).

Food obsession on competition diets [2:32]

The holiday season is just around the corner and with the holidays comes a lot of stress, expectations, and obligations. Fuck that. Just because someone said you “should” spend the holidays with your family (who you might not even like!) doesn’t mean you have to! If it takes away from your peace and joy, it doesn’t have to be a priority. You may end up having a few difficult conversations and you may end up breaking a few traditions, but there’s always time to make some of your own.

The holidays are a stressful time [1:35]

We’ve been entrepreneurs for well over a decade now, and we know we have plenty of listeners with their own businesses or with entrepreneurial dreams, so we wanted to talk a little about the problems that come up in the course of doing business. It’s never fun when things go wrong, but struggle is sometimes the price we have to pay in order to meaningfully grow. You’ll never make everybody happy and you’ll grow resentful of your business if you even try, so it’s better to start viewing your problems as a sign of leveling up.

Is it just us, or is Black Friday out of control now? Less than 10 years ago, Black Friday was a one-day event where you’d slap a bitch at Walmart for taking the last flat-screen TV you wanted. Now, the entire month of November (and even into December!) we’re getting inundated with emails and texts and ads about every little thing you could ever dream of being on sale. We love buying things as much as the next person, but didn’t Black Friday start as a way to buy gifts for other people, and not ourselves? And aren’t you starting to feel suffocated by all this shit we keep buying?

Black Friday has gotten out of control [1:41]

Everyone’s been asking the same question for years: can men and women be friends? We see no problem with male-female friendships, but things feel a little more complicated when it comes to your partner’s work-wife (or work-husband for that matter). Being in a relationship doesn’t stop people from falling for someone else, but there are signs to look for and ways to communicate your feelings. Besides, do you really want to be in a relationship with someone who makes you feel insecure? And if all goes wrong, there’s always the option of kicking someone’s ass.

Falling for someone else while you’re still in a relationship [1:04]

As long as the work-wife is not their type [2:50]

Trust in your partner and in your own worth [5:48]

Ask to be included [8:24]

Insecurity is unattractive [10:07]

Your partner loves you for *you* [13:45]

Do you believe your partner has integrity? [15:29]

Maybe we need to fight it out [16:30]
