  • 028. Maybe We’re Making It Too Hard (feat. Bailey Ness) [VIDEO]

    We’re so honored to welcome Bailey Ness to Work Wives Unscripted. Bailey is the founder of Nesscessity, a social media marketing agency, and if that's not enough, she's also the co-founder of Cooldown Running, a social run club and running apparel company.

    To say we were impressed by her is an understatement. Bailey is the epitome and a leading example of a “don’t overthink, just do” mindset. This mindset has truly catapulted her success to conquer anything she sets her sights on.

    While we open up a lot about the struggles that come with entrepreneurship and navigating what it’s really like owning a small business, this episode was a refreshing reminder that, maybe, just maybe, we’re making it harder than it has to be.

    Sitting down with Bailey was a breath of fresh air, leaving us incredibly inspired that it simply takes putting one foot right in front of the other to make sh*t happen. Oh, and thank G for Google.

    If you want to stay up to date with what Bailey is up to we’ve got you covered:

  • 027. The Halfdays Pitch — Behind the Veil of Betting on Our Dreams (feat. O.Ski Films)

    2024 is the year of making sh*t happen. Sometimes that comes with being completely delusional and going out on a whim to chase those lofty goals. 

    This is the behind-the-scenes, unfiltered story of the Halfdays Pitch (if you’re unfamiliar with it, check it out here). The three of us joined forces and decided to publicly pitch a female-owned ski brand called Halfdays and to our surprise, we got the co-founder's attention in 47 minutes. 

    Here at Work Wives, we aim to pull the veil behind it all, so while the pitch got some eyes on it, we wanted to invite you into the chaos that ensued and what it truly took to deliver the product we did. It was necessary to have our gal Ori on to tell the tale. 

    Excited to see where this takes us, thanks so much for being here! xx

  • 026. How Working Yourself to the Brink of Death Changes Everything (feat. Adam and Netta Swartz) [VIDEO]

    We are so excited and honored to welcome Adam and Netta to Work Wives Unscripted. Coming from two entirely different backgrounds, life led them to each other in an incredibly unique, destined-to-be way after experiencing life-changing individual experiences (to say the least).

    Netta had just finished serving two years in the Israeli army, while Adam had just healed from a Craniotomy after his brain tumor diagnosis.

    This is a story that is so much greater than highlighting two inspiring entrepreneurs, it’s a story about your internal relationship with self, experiencing a drastic “wake-up” call, navigating grief, finding profound love when you least expect it, and building a life anew. 

    We could’ve talked to them for hours as there are SO many dynamics to this story, but we hope this episode serves as a reminder to design a life that honors your spirit and your needs, finding balance in chasing your dreams and investing in the people around you. 

    Adam is the founder of Umbrla Supply, a streetwear and home goods brand that donates a portion of its proceeds to brain tumor research. 

    Netta is the founder of her new brand, Ima Urban Wellness. She’s a Holistic Nutrition Professional and Yoga Instructor, combining mind, body, and spirit practices, on a mission to help you connect with your highest, and most whole self. She offers personalized programs focused on food alchemy, movement, or the entire 360 experience.

  • 025. STOP PRETENDING U KNOW HOW TO DO UR OWN TAXES (feat. Our Accountant) [VIDEO]

    You guys, we're shaking our heads at ourselves that it's been nearly a month since an episode dropped, maybe that's why we named the last one "God Help Us in 2024" because to put it bluntly, we've been busting our a$$es. But you know we always come through because we're here to offer you some hot tips from our favorite and very own beloved accountant, Ed.

    He swooped down and saved us like baby birds, tucked us under his wing, and now we soar into tax season making them as enjoyable of an experience as they can be! In other words, he's incredible.

    Join us this week as he answers all of the tax season questions that we all need to know but are too afraid to ask, including things like:

    • When is it a good time to consider hiring an accountant? 
    • How can people best prepare before hiring an accountant? 
    • Covering all things considered legit business write-offs
    • Explaining the difference between an LLC and an S-Corp
    • Small business owner icks that Accountants hate
    • Quarterly taxes, are they required?
    • What triggers an IRS Audit?
    • How can we lower our tax liability?
    • And SO much more. Go make that money and feel blessed to pay taxes, because it means your business is profitable!! 

      EPISODE DISCLAIMER: Correction regarding the discussion about FAMLI. The cutoff before an employer has to match the .45% is 10 employees (the episode mentioned 5) SECURE is what is a 5-employee cutoff. For FAMLI, business owners have to take .45% out of each employee’s paycheck (as the employee’s contribution) and only have to add .45% as the employer contribution when they have 10 or more employees.

    • 024. God Help Us in 2024 [VIDEO]

      Happy New Year!! Even though we ended 2023 joking and also semi-crying about "failed" manifestations for the year, (quotations b/c we hate that word) we're just as delulu entering 2024 but with new tactics and fun revelations. Join us this week for tips when it comes to goal-setting, our new obsession with Human Design, and building a vision board. You also get a first-hand look at the Christmas miracle we accomplished all thanks to Santa's Hung Bros.

      2024 is here and it's entirely up to us to make it a year where we look at ourselves in the mirror and say, "You fckn did it."

      If our podcast has sparked joy, brought you laughs, or even helped you feel less alone, reviews make our day and we would absolutely love to hear from you!

      Amazing resources talked about in the episode:

    • 023. When the Manifestation Fails [VIDEO]

      Happy Holidays, our beloved Wives! Buckle up for the ride of this episode because it's packed with all of our favorite things that make this podcast what it is. To make it even better, it's CHRISTMAS.

      Join us for a good laugh, cry, a few minutes to pity ourselves, and then as always, end on a full circle moment with high notes of optimism and excitement for the new year.

      We break open our journals to read through and live react to all of the manifestations we wrote out for 2023. Although more manifestations didn't come through than those that did (lol) maybe it's a good lesson to not be too tied to "failure" and redirect the intention of a goal in the first place.

      Also, stay tuned for Santa's Hung Bros content on our Instagram. We love you all so much! Enjoy your holiday and we'll see you in 2024. *muah*

    • 022. In Our Sugar Mommy Era (feat. Our Financial Advisors) [VIDEO]

      Hi Honeys! Hope your holiday season is cheery and bright, we're excited to welcome our financial advisors, Chelsea and Kathleen to the pod.

      Let's be real, finances are hard, but they don't have to be! When we first met Chelsea and Kathleen, we spent nearly our entire first meeting at a networking event trying to understand just exactly what a financial advisor does, how they get paid, the benefit of working with one as a small business owner (or just in general), and if we were even qualified to be a client of theirs, lol.

      Finances are a subject that can't be avoided in business, and the topic doesn't have to be taboo. As we continue to grow as female solopreneurs, we're continuously striving to feel empowered by how we handle our money while navigating the road bumps of growth, better understanding where to invest our money, and the moves we can make now to set ourselves up better for the future.

      If you're interested in learning more about what Chelsea and Kathleen do or would like to work with them, feel free to reach out to us via email or DM and we can send their info along!

    • 021. The Funny Story Formula [VIDEO]

      Season 2 has started on a more serious note (in all the best ways) and this week we just wanted to let out some laughs.

      We start by talking about our podcast icks of ourselves which turns into an entire lesson by the master, Jill herself, teaching Katie the formula of just exactly how to tell a funny story.

      What is it about this soft skill that can turn you from a crowd-pleaser to a true crowd entertainer?! Idk stay tuned. Actually after recording we decided this is a good human skill to know and can elevate any social occasion.

      See you cuties next week!

      • Struggles with social media in showing up in ways that feel unnatural, while learning to pivot by leaning into your strengths

      • Seeking joy in all things life, and career
      • The infamous game of would you rather

      • 019. Henry Tieu Pt. 1 — Navigating Adversity [VIDEO]

        We're SO excited to welcome our first guest on the podcast, none other than Henry Tieu. As huge fans of his work before ever meeting him, we then had the honor to film his course, The Art of Adventure Weddings and Elopements with Maddie Mae of Adventure Instead.

        Over the course of that year filming with him, we fell in love with his spirit. He's an endless pit of wisdom, passion, and empathy and his spirit needs to be known by the wives.

        Join us as we talk about:

        • Immigrating to America from Vietnam
        • What his coming out experience was like
        • His career as a nurse and how that planted the seed for his future as a world-renowned elopement photographer (which we'll dive fully into in part 2 next week)
        • If you don't follow him already, be sure to check him out.
