The Conscious Cowboys

This episode is brought to you by ghosting. I’m sure we’re all familiar with this present-day phenomenon categorized by someone cutting off communication without any explanation aka leaving you on read, basically.

We ran into an “old friend” this past weekend and were inspired to create an episode that reflected our current thoughts on all things dating, relationships, Tess being the best wingman a gal could ask for, and personal growth (classic). We also get into a bit of a debate about dating apps because I (Madison) apparently have A LOT to say about them. 

Overall, this ep is about human behavior and our deep fascination with how people live their lives and behave in interpersonal relationships. This is a classic Cowboy chat, so we hope you enjoy, friends!

Until next week, talk soon. x

We’re two best friends who are building a brand with the mission of amplifying what it means to be well. We strive to be as authentic as possible so that our conversations facilitate true connection while building upon a community that values a more conscious way of life. We’re known as “The Cowboys” by those we love, so it’s only fitting that our brand reflects exactly who we are. We release an episode every Wednesday, so tune in, and enjoy this wild ride.

It’s absolutely necessary to start this description off by saying that we missed y’all! Very much. 

We intended to take a break for a month, however, it ended up being a 5-month long hiatus. Life, ya know. A necessary absence in order to remember why we started The Conscious Cowboys in the first place. 

True to form, this episode is a proper catch-up on all things Tess & Madison. Since this is our first rodeo back after the New Year, we wanted to share our words for 2024. If you’re new here, we choose a word at the beginning of each year to symbolize the intentions we’d like to hold with us as we move through the new year. We also get into what's to come with TCC, and this “new beginning.”

It’s so good to be back, and we’re happy to have y’all along for this very special ride. Until next week, talk soon!

This episode marks the beginning of our mini-hiatus…..dun dun dunnnnn. A very positive, purposeful, and much needed time of rest for us Cowboys. We’re taking the month of September off from podcasting in order to renew our energy for the big things that we have in store for The Conscious Cowboys. 

In the past, we’ve been hesitant with taking time off because we viewed it as giving up on our dreams (we know, sounds dramatic). We never wanted to slow down the momentum that we’ve built. However, we’ve realized that by giving ourselves this break we’re essentially creating even more space to refuel our love for this podcast and become even more clear on our vision & the very big plans that we have for this brand. 

With all that said, we’re already looking forward to being back in action and gently nudge anyone who is currently craving rest to take that lil break in order to come back with a bit more passion. We also would like to nudge (a slightly more aggressive nudge) y’all to catch up on some of our past episodes during this break if you’re needing a visit from your favorite Cowboys. 

Love y’all! We hope the month of September treats you very well. xoxo

In this episode, you’ll hear about over-communicating, ghosting & mixed signals, tough love, effective communication, and approaching tough conversations in your interpersonal relationships — something we likely all need to dive a little deeper into. 

We’re ever-evolving when it comes to communicating and we are by no means perfect, so it felt very nice to voice our stream of consciousness. If you're in the market for opening up the floor to have a conversation you've been avoiding, or in general need a kick in the rear to say what you need to say more, this episode could be exactly what you need. 

Thank you for listening, friends. Talk soon! xoxo

This episode feels very much like doodling. Remember that fun, stress-free, but somehow productive activity that we all used to do when we were needing an escape? Yeah, that. We get into the ebb and flow of life - a Cowboy specialty.

We’ve been noticing many little shifts within ourselves and wanted to share. We chat about shifting perspectives, making slight changes as we make our way back into alignment, feeling more connected, & observing the signals your body sends and how to interpret them.

Near the end of the episode, we open up the floor to a question that’s been on our minds recently - What’s something that we’ve been trying to unlearn? It’s helpful for us to check-in, not only to confirm the shift of past narratives that we’ve held onto, but to also practice a lil gratitude for how much we’ve grown. 

Thank ya’ll for listeninnn. Talk soon! xoxo

Before recording this episode, we had a juicy conversation in our kitchen about comparing ourselves to others, the desire to be perfect, the responsibilities of being an adult, and the joy of getting older & evolving into a version of yourself that feels damn good.

Since we did not have the foresight to record our in-depth kitchen conversation, we did our best to relay the messages in this quickie of an episode. Essentially, this episode is a continuation of ep 164 (so pls take a listen if you haven’t 😉). We were inspired to dig a lil deeper and get a bit more comfortable in our vulnerability. 

The mystery still remains as to why some of the most profound conversations we have happen in the kitchen, nonetheless, we’re grateful for them. 

We shed a few tears in this one because these topics mean a lot to us, so we hope you enjoy, Cowboys. Until next week. XOXO

We were feeling silly in this one folks, which we believe is necessary at times. We get hard on ourselves for the episodes that don’t feel like the most profound piece of art that’s ever been produced (lol), as if that’s a requirement for content to be worthwhile. We’ll let these conversations act as yet another experience that goes towards us learning the lesson of not taking ourselves so seriously. 

This episode is filled with the ups & downs of the human experience and ventures into the importance of prioritizing rest while not feeling guilty about it. 

If you feel like you’ve been pushing up against a wall recently, give yourself a little more grace, Cowboys, and we shall do the same. Thank you for listening, friends. xoxo

ps. Happy Birthday Tessy gal <3

 Howdyyyy, friends! We were inspired by a recent conversation we heard on The Rich Roll Podcast with Light Watkins, and wanted to share some valuable musings. In this ep, we chat:

• Serendipitous conversations
• Changing careers
• People pleasing tendencies that lead to neglect of self 
• Listening to your inner-voice 
• Following your curiosity 

Towards the end of the episode, we stop taking ourselves so seriously and enjoy some funny observations we’ve made as Pilates instructors. Thank you for being here, Cowboys. Talk soon!

This episode was inspired by a friend who recently asked us all of the right questions. You know, the questions you need to answer in order to refocus and level-up.

We chat valuable connections, surrendering to vs. forcing things, decreasing resistance of what is, releasing the idea of permanence, and conclude this episode with our favorite talking point as of late, positive mental attitude. 

It’s been fun to see our evolution with this podcast - currently, we’re very focused on the importance of mindset, and the weight that mental health can have on each of us. So stay tuned Cowboys, who knows what will come next. 

Whatever it is, we're ready.

It’s time for all of us to indulge ourselves in a liberal dose of PMA or Positive Mental Attitude. A philosophy that can help to shift persistent negative thoughts that no longer serve us. If you’ve been feeling “off” &/or are in need of a gentle kick in the a**, this episode is for you.

We discuss sustainable mindset shifts that help us to pivot our way back to a positive state of mind, and share just a few of the great things that have been spicing up life lately. 

Let this be your sign to add a bit more positivity into your life, Cowboys. Thank you for listenin - we’re happy to be back. xoxo
