WE ❤️ THERAPY! 10/10 would recommend!!

Welcome back friends! We are SO excited about this episode, we have known we wanted to talk about this one for soooo long now and Mental Health Awareness Month felt like the perfect time! In this episode we are covering our journeys with finding the right therapist, our best therapy takeaways/what therapy has taught us so far and some resources for how you can get started if you want to talk to someone! 

Learning to set boundaries, get comfortable with vulnerability and communicate well during conflict are some of the many things we have learned through our time in therapy. We hope that sharing these with you will help break down the stigma around therapy and mental health and bring in some new perspectives for you. 

We hope you love this episode! If you want to talk about it our DMs are ALWAYS open for you over on Instagram, please don't hesitate to reach out. Please subscribe, rate and review the pod on Apple Podcasts if you're in the mood to make our day! Thank you so much for listening, see you next time!

This week has been a bit ~*rough*~ so we scrapped our original topic and decided to get real about how we're feeling lately (bad). If you happen to be feeling this way too, we're here to tell you you're not alone. Sometimes being a person and alllllll the things that go along with it just gets to be overwhelming. 

This isn't just a 45 minute vent sesh though; in this episode we share what has us in a funk and what we're doing to get out of it! Just remember, tough times are temporary and joy is around the corner (hint: one of our fav affirmations)!

We hope you like this episode, please leave us a rating and review if you did, share it with a friend who could use a mid-week pick me up and connect with us over on Instagram for more! Thanks for tuning in!💛

Hi friends!

On today's episode, we are joined by our good friend, Rachel Perry. She has a killer Instagram feed, the best sweaters in the game, and the golden hour light down to a science - so we highly suggest you check out her page (@rachelizabethperry). Rachel is also a lover of all books AND a twenty-something, so she was an obvious choice for this episode's guest.

We dive into our thoughts about our book club pick, The Defining Decade by Meg Jay. We share some of our personal experiences and perspectives when it comes to things like careers and relationships in the twenty-something years. Whether you've read the book or not, we hope this episode gives you something to think about and maybe inspires you to pick up the book if you haven't already. 

As always, subscribe to the pod and give us a review if you liked this episode, and follow us on Instagram for more! Thanks so much for listening!

XO, GWTFT

Your twenties can be a pretty stressful time when it comes to your career. This week Bri will be riding solo to talk about her career journey post-grad and what she's learned through all the ups and downs.

Figuring out what motivates you, what you want in the short term and long term and what you're passionate about are all important steps towards making decisions that will ultimately effect your career path. When you can, it can be helpful to get some professional opinions and of course the opinions of the people closest to you.

We hope you feel less alone in whatever career struggles you might be facing right now, and we hope you took some tips away from this episode that can help you take the next step! Follow us on Instagram for more, and as always please share, rate and review our show! Thanks so much for listening, see you next time!

Happy March!!🥳 We both have March birthdays so we decided this month on the pod had to be extra special! Not only are we posting an episode every Wednesday, but we are kicking it all off with the juiciest episode to date!

We are spilling👏 the👏 tea👏 in this episode. From stealing cars to getting kicked out of bars, we're showing a new (slightly less desirable?) version of ourselves. Maybe we'll regret it later, but for now it is all out there for you to enjoy! 

This episode really speaks for itself, so all that's left to say is follow us on Instagram for more fun and don't forget to pick up The Defining Decade by Meg Jay to join in on our bday book club (March 31st). See you next week! 

We're back baby!! After having 2 amazing guests on the show, we are excited to be back recording together! This is the first episode of a series we're calling CHIT CHAT where we will occasionally be popping in with a more casual, low-key vibe to just catch up and well... CHAT!

This CHIT CHAT covers the ebbs and flows we've had over the past month (duh), what we've been watching on Netflix & Hulu (but mostly Hulu) and we announce the book we've chosen for the GWTFT Book Club (spoiler: it's a good one). Thanks so much for listening and a big welcome to any new listeners, we're so excited to have you here with us! Follow us over on Instagram, subscribe to the show and write us a review over on Apple Podcasts - we might even read it on the next episode! See you next time!
