Some people find doing everything on their own to be difficult, but for us, it’s asking for help that ends up being the harder task. Asking for help can feel like admitting to failure, not being good enough, or opening ourselves up for judgement and it feels safer to struggle alone than to admit we need assistance. But when we think about it, we LOVE to help the people we love, so maybe it’s true that people love to help us, too. It’s like the old proverb says, “If you want to go far, go together.” So lately, we’re trying out what it’s like to ask for help when we need it, and we hope you try it too, Bestie.

We’re really passionate about women making money for themselves. Obviously in an ideal world, women in partnerships don’t have to worry about being the primary financial provider if that’s not what they want to do, but having a way to financially support ourselves during our unexpected divorces was pivotal for us, and we want every women to have the option to take care of herself if she ever needs to. So if you’ve been thinking about starting an online side-hustle, for whatever reason, Jill is sharing some of her best tips for getting started.

Would you break up with your partner if they didn’t allow you access to their cell phone? It certainly seems like a weird dealbreaker to have, but after going through infidelity at the hands of our exes, we can empathize. Private cell phones (and computers for that matter) are causing new problems that weren’t possible before, and while everyone deserves to have privacy, some motherfuckers out there are acting sneaky. Ultimately, it’s up to you and your partner, and what kind of privacy you feel is necessary in your relationship.

We consider ourselves dreamers and big believers in what’s possible, but we do believe in the utility of being “realistic.” At least, being realistic about what you’re willing to do, and realistic about the timeline you want to achieve things in. Every human achievement seemed impossible at one point, and to realize them, it took people who were bold enough to think of them and resilient enough to keep trying, even when things were difficult. It’s never a bad idea to be realistic with your goals, but don’t forget to dream big, too.

Being “realistic” about your dreams [1:32]

It’s been a while since we recorded a personal episode of this podcast and we felt like it might be time to catch you up to date on what we’ve been doing, Bestie. The world is just as chaotic as ever, meanwhile we’ve been sick, vacationing, and grieving. You know, all the usual stuff. We promise not to be so distant and keep you more in the loop next time—or maybe we won’t. We haven’t decided yet.

When we started this podcast, we were somewhat newly divorced and trying to navigate the world on our own for the first time in a long time. We weren’t sure how to be alone, but we had to. Maybe you can relate—when is the last time you did something all by yourself? Today, Jill shares a 5-item bucket-list for you to try out if you’re newly divorced, or even if you just want to grow as an individual and rebuild some self-esteem.

There’s a new kind of side hustle you can do from almost anywhere: user generated content. After Danny saw a friend making thousands a month for seemingly little output, she had to do some investigation. For the past few months, she’s been dabbling with UGC so she can give you to lowdown on the the truths, the lies, and what’s possible if you decide to try it for yourself.

There’s so much more to being healthy than just being “thin” and the closer we get to perimenopause and menopause, the more we realize that. Today Jill is chatting with Tina Haupert of Carrots N Cake about minerals, metabolism, mindset, and how important they are to maintaining our health. We always hear about macronutrients, but no one seems to care about micronutrients and the effect that a lack of minerals has on our energy levels and metabolism. Sometimes we can get so focused on being the smallest version of ourselves that we forget that our bodies need nourishment in order to function. We don’t know about you, but we care far more about feeling good lately, but when you feel good, looking good isn’t far behind.

We’re the kind of women who love to work and yes, we love to make money. There’s so much moralizing about money and whether having it makes someone good or bad, but to us, money is just a tool. So how do we know when we’ve made “enough” of it? American culture is so focused on always striving for more, and while that’s not necessarily a bad thing, at a certain point money stops helping us live the life we want, and isn’t that what really matters? We call this The Best Life podcast for a reason. Money is definitely an aspect of our Best Lives, but it’s not the whole picture. 

What is “enough”? [2:21]

Starting with the end in mind [3:02]

Ask yourself why you want the things you want [6:48]

Reaching your highest potential [10:09]

More money doesn’t make you happier [13:39]

Money is a metric, but it’s not the only one [17:19]

Even if you had everything you wanted… then what? [18:18]

Morality around women and money [20:05]

If you have privilege, why not use it? [24:14]

More money won’t make you shallow (all the time) [26:20]

We’re independent women and we don’t need men to validate us—but we do still care what our partners think. But there’s definitely a balance that needs to be struck between changing your appearance whenever you want and asking your partner for permission to change. We want to be attracted to them, and for them to be attracted to us, so it’s not a bad idea to check in before you go cutting off all your hair or getting a boob job. But at the end of the day, it is your body, and you should be able to look how you want, no permission necessary. The only permission you should care about is ours, and we say go for it, Bestie.

Asking permission before changing your looks [4:44]

Caring about your partner’s preferences [6:07]

Hair loss fucks with your self-esteem [10:41]

Making drastic changes without consulting your partner [13:19]

Changes behind your partner’s back [15:48]

Is your partner being controlling or is it normal? [17:33]

What if your partner changed their looks? [19:55]

The things we’re attracted to change over time [22:58]

Piercings we hate [25:43]

At the end of the day, do whatever you want [29:47]
