The Underscore Show episodes

  • Reverse engineer your life (when you're ready)

    Let's talk GOALS. What a year 2020 was. Truly unprecedented, if you hadn't heard. On this episode, we bring up our 2020 goals and see how we did. Then, of course, look ahead at 2021 to see how what we want it to look like.
    We really break down our goals into the what and the how and the why.
    But REMEMBER, if all you're ready for in this season of life is an intent - that is also a right answer. Be honest with yourself. Then do your best. We got this.

    Alex's product details coming soon!

  • Finding the recipe for public + private life

    Let's talk PRIVATE LIFE. As two people who have an online presence, and therefore an online audience, we discuss our approach and feelings on the things we share privately and the things we share publicly. Where do we (currently) draw the line? At the end of the day, it's what makes each of us happy and comfortable personally. It's just a matter of finding what that recipe is for you and setting expectations best you can.

  • Stress but make it less

    Let's talk STRESS MANAGEMENT. We discuss how we cope and endure and get through the stressful days. This episode was actually recorded on a day that Alex was feeling run down and shortly after a day where Adrian's depression had presented itself again. There are a few things we know to be true when finding ways to manage and conquer stress - we discuss our near future plans to execute on that knowledge.

  • The lesbian in me is the loudest

    Let's talk HAPPIEST SEASON. Finally! A queer Christmas movie that we can review and analyze and watch over and over again. Something we can RELATE to. We discuss where we think the movie NAILED it and where we think there is still some room for improvement. 
    We apply both our queer and filmmaker minds to give a pretty comprehensive review. 
    NOTE: major SPOILER ALERTS are included in this episode.

  • Trudging through the mud

    Let's talk SOCIAL MEDIA. We discuss the various social media platform involvement required for us to progress in both our personal brand and business accounts. 
    When does it feel like fun and when can it feel like just checking a box?
    We also spend time discussing what feels like an investment. We post to these platforms to connect and build a community with the hope that one day it can start to benefit our businesses and long term goals.

  • Let's start with a Powerpoint

    Let's talk POLITICS. We discuss the results of the US Presidential election as well as look back on the division that led up to it. What will it take for people to come together, to listen, to find more empathy? Our first, and obviously very good suggestion, is to create a Powerpoint. 
    Listen to the episode to find out what we would put in that Powerpoint to help bring awareness to issues we don't think everyone has thought about...likely because they don't HAVE to.

  • But you make it look amazing (with Erin and Blaire)

    Let's talk CHRONOTYPES. We took a test from the Power of When book by Michael Breus that defines your chronotype. We discuss what that means in detail in this episode but ultimately it's another way to understand yourself and your natural behavior. 
    We present the results from the test and discuss why we agree or disagree. 
    Some definitely agree more than others.

  • This is a murder podcast now

    Let's talk PRIORITIZATION. Alex presents a quote and asks Adrian to respond. 
    It includes a phrase we probably all have said, but is it actually accurate? 
    There are things many of us say just because we have heard them before. 
    In this case, we dig into what people actually mean when they say "I don't have time".

  • Putting yourself out there (with Erin and Blaire)

    Let's talk MAKING FRIENDS AS ADULTS. 
    Erin and Blaire join us back on the show to talk about friendship. 
    The four of us are decently new friends so we discuss what it is like to put yourself out there in order to find friends at different stages of life.

  • We can learn the handshake at our own pace

    Let's talk CANCEL CULTURE. What does it take for someone to officially cross the line? To officially be cancelled? We dive into a few recent headlines in order to discuss and review the dangerous implications of high stakes judgement. When is time to forgive and give second chances and when is the damage to hard to recover from?
