July 16, 2021Ep. 105 Creating Space Away from the Noise with Liz & Sharon
The to-do lists, the social media scrolling, the news feeds - our minds are constantly inundated with thoughts, images, and information. All to sift through and process day after day. It's no wonder the mental load feels so heavy to bear at times.
Today’s episode is about remembering to take the time to step away from the noise. To find the space to turn it all off, and just be.
Liz and Sharon discuss:
The moments they recognized they needed to create "white space" for themselves.

How learning to step away and be present in the moment has helped them personally and creatively.

The importance of creating transitions in our life - from work to home and vice versa.

Sharon's personal experience with stepping away from social media for the past 7 weeks.
We hope you all take the time to step away this week - even if just for a moment. Give yourself permission to unwind, turn your brain off for a while, and create little pockets of peace throughout your day and your life. When we step away from the noise, we are actually able to hear ourselves much more clearly.

July 08, 2021Ep. 104 Listening to Our Inner Truth with Liz Kimball
What do you really, really want and what brings you alive?
Two questions that you may not have the answer to right away… and that’s okay.
In today’s episode, Sharon sits down with writer, speaker, and coach for feminist creators Liz Kimball, as they discuss the importance of listening to our inner intuition (or soul direction) and why it’s okay - and even needed - to not have all the answers all the time.
They discuss:
Distinguishing your own personal “soul direction” or inner tuition from the cultural ideals that may have been set upon you throughout life.

Recognizing that following your truth may be the right choice, but that doesn’t guarantee it will be the easy one.

Accepting that it's often in-between the answers we seek in life that we really learn about and discover our true joy.
This episode offers a truly powerful message about self-discovery, listening to your own voice above any other and so much more.
We would love to hear from our listeners: What brings you joy and do you find yourself taking the time to listen to your own inner intuition? Be sure to leave us a voice message letting us know by using the link below!

July 01, 2021Ep. 103 Redistributing the Mental Load in Relationships
Do you often find yourself going through a list in your mind of all the things that need to be taken care of in your household? For instance, scheduling doctor appointments, buying more laundry detergent before it runs out or making sure the bills are paid on time?
If you answered yes - you may be carrying a majority (or what can feel like all) of the mental load in your household. It’s the constant remembering of everything that can take its invisible toll, usually on one partner in a relationship more so than the other.
In today’s episode, Liz and Sharon discuss that often unfair division of mental labor that can happen in a household.
They discuss:
Defining the mental load - Hint: it’s about more than divvying up the chore list

The mental loads they’ve each carried within their own households

Helpful tips to work on redistributing the mental load in your own relationships

Resources to help you better communicate with your partner in an compassionate, yet effective manner.
If you’ve found yourself managing the extra mental load in your household, in what ways has this affected you? Have you been able to speak to your partner about it, and how did that conversation go? Let us know by leaving a voice message using the link below!

June 24, 2021Ep. 102 Life Typos with Liz & Sharon
What does taking care of yourself look like? The answer: it depends.
For one person, this can mean caring for the health of their body, while for someone else, it may be taking care of their mental and emotional well-being. Or maybe it’s a combination of the two.
No matter what self-care looks like - it’s something we all need. Today’s episode focuses on some of the ways in which Liz & Sharon have been taking care of themselves recently in health, business and in life.
They discuss:
What self-care looks like for each of them right now, in their current stages of life.

Why having a business coach (or someone with an outside perspective) can be key to being an entrepreneur.

The emotional and mental shifts that can be a part of our relationship with food and the health of our bodies as it relates to that relationship.

Learning how to listen to our body and honor what it’s saying - for both the health of our body and our mental well-being.

The interesting insights learned from a recent tarot card pull - including one for listeners specifically!
What are some of the ways that you practice self-care? We would love to know what that looks like for you currently. Be sure to leave a message by using the link below!

May 27, 2021 Ep. 98 The rollercoaster ride of entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is a roller coaster ride - everyone who has been on the journey knows that well. Filled with ups and downs, twists and turns, and surprises around every corner, it can certainly be an uphill battle to get to the pinnacle at the top (this will also look different for everyone).
What’s often presented online are those “pinnacle moments” of entrepreneurship - a highlight reel of the successes - and not so much of the hard days. It’s messages of reaching $10K+ months, images of sitting on the beach with a laptop on hand, and always being available for your family and friends.
The truth is though, it’s the hard days and moments of uncertainty that the trail to success is littered with. And we don’t often get to see those moments- the behind-the-scenes struggles that it also takes right along with the successes, for those entrepreneur goals to be met.
Today’s episode is about the good and bad that comes with being an entrepreneur, as Liz and Sharon discuss their own personal entrepreneur journeys - including some vulnerable moments that have made them question the path they were on, the red flags they look for to avoid burnout (so important in entrepreneurship!), and why it is essential for their businesses to be aligned with their values both personally and professionally.
If you’ve ever been an entrepreneur, or maybe one day want to be - this episode is for you.

May 20, 2021Ep. 97 The Essence of Flo with Berrion Berry
“If your period was your lover, what would it say about your relationship?” - Berrion Berry
So much of what we understand about our menstrual cycle is based on science- but in today’s episode we learn how looking at the synergy of spirituality and where that meets science, is ultimately how we can come to a deeper understanding of our menstrual health, our bodies and our own mindsets (and yes- relationship) when it comes to our periods.
Sharon sits down with Berrion Berry, a Menstrual Health Educator, and Certified Integrative Health Practitioner, as they discuss:
How period pain is often a symptom - not a cause - and how we can use that knowledge to reverse engineer our way to the actual root cause for true and proper healing.

Why mindset is so important when it comes to healing and our overall menstrual health - and how a negative mindset can often manifest itself into having worse period pains.

How the stigmas and societal conditioning surrounding menstruation have led to a serious disconnect from our bodies and what we can do about it.
If you’ve ever had a negative relationship with your period or you just want to learn how to understand your period, your body, and the cycle it goes through on a deeper level - this episode is for you!

May 13, 2021Ep. 96 When You Don’t Have the Hormones to Give Any Fucks
At what age do you stop being relevant?
Is it when you're 35? Or 45 maybe? According to society's standards, being "relevant" is something bestowed upon the youth - falling away from each of us little by little each passing year.
But what does it mean to be relevant to society anyways? Who is setting these standards, and the biggest question of all - why are we listening to them?
In today's episode, Liz and Sharon discuss aging - the transitions that we go through in life, particularly into our elder years, how these transitions can sometimes make us feel less worthy in the eyes of society (we can also feel this as we transition from "maiden to mother"), and why shifting our perspective is all we need to realize that society has it all wrong.
We have to remember that giving into the pressure to grasp onto our youth for as long as possible ultimately only makes us unprepared for the inevitability of the years that come after.
Also mentioned in this episode:
The pressure of having the perfect Mother's Day

"If they whine, we wine" - why the narrative of needing alcohol to survive motherhood can actually be harmful and how it highlights the bigger picture of a lack of support systems
