The Raw Honeys Podcast

THIS is the REAL SECRET to manifesting, to inner peace, to TRUE happiness. It’s not about getting something, it’s about being something. In fact, once you start BEING someone who has THAT THING YOU WANT, guess what?! That THING YOU WANT shows up! Conversely, if you aren’t being the kind of person who is a match to having that thing, don’t hold your breath!

Today, we'll talk about all the real things we do to help us get to the good feeling state like meditation, counting our blessings, and of course, leaning on our friends. Because when all is said in done, when we change, our environment changes with us. Yep, that’s how powerful YOU are.

High school isn’t for the fainthearted . . . especially in 2019. On this episode, Heather sits down with her teenage daughter, Brooke, whose dream is to make a difference in the world. Brooke encourages all of us to give the youth room to share their views and give their voices the respect they deserve.

In an open dialogue with her mom, Brooke talks about how school can be an unwelcoming place for teachers and students alike, and how the school system isn’t preparing them for the real world or teaching them about big issues like climate change and school shootings. Despite these obstacles, Brooke and other teens like her not only care about but are taking action to better our society and the world at large. No topic is off limits. We hope you’ll listen with your teenager and perhaps have an open dialogue with them too.

Warning: We talk openly about sex and drugs. If you have little ears nearby or aren’t ready to have a discussion like this with your kiddos, opt for headphones instead.

With everyone posting on social media ‘round the clock, we can easily get cornered into FOMO. But what would it be like to disconnect from social media for 3 years . . . on purpose? In this episode, Chelsea talks about how her social media hiatus started as a result of her depression because every time she typed a smiley face emoji, she felt like a liar.

We not only talk about the pressure to have an online presence, but the pressure to present a carefully curated version of ourselves. And how exhausting faking it can be. Comparison and confrontation are just some of the negative effects of these social platforms, but have we missed the big picture of what social media can be and how it can contribute to meaningful conversation and broadening our horizons?

In this episode of The Raw Honeys podcast, we’re chatting about why we feel driven to find our tribe. In this new cultural frontier, why is it so challenging to find where we belong? And in the end, is a tribe what we’re really after? Or is it something more? This topic was inspired by a post in The Raw Honeys Facebook Group. Join the conversation: http://bit.ly/rawhoneysfb

In this episode of The Raw Honeys podcast, we’re talking about our own views vs. our culture’s views on what it means to feel sexy and whether we think having that label is a strength or a weakness. Our society tells us we’re either sexy OR we’re smart/funny/studious. Like being sexy cancels out our ability to be anything with depth. But we want to embrace a version of ourselves that feels sexy AND all these things! We also discuss what makes us feel sexy and how we can get comfortable with (or discover) our own sex appeal.
