You Are So Not Alone the podcast (formerly the in raw life podcast)

We recorded this episode a few weeks back, when things in the world weren't so heavy. We hope you this light hearted episode gives your heart a moment of rest. 

It's Jessika's Birthday, so she get's to bring any topic to the table... UNPLANNED! We talk about hand washing drama, plastic surgery, and curating villages. Plus, Jessika's birthday lightning round gets a little derailed by ... well, you'll just have to listen to find out!

This is our first very conversational episode, and not gonna lie, we LOVED it! Tell us what you think! Leave a review, and we might share it on Instagram!

The fact that racism exists is incomprehensible. The fact that it still is so widespread across the world is despicable and heartbreaking.

As two white girls, we were not sure the best way to speak out about this. But, by simply having a microphone and a small but loyal audience, we couldn't not.  

So, we poured ourselves into education on the topic, and continue to do so. This is our best effort to share with you what we are learning and encourage all people, no matter what your skin color is, to use empathy to find unity in this fight for justice.

Yes. You can! Anxiety doesn't have to be chronic, and this boost proves it!

A Boost is a shorter episode that gives you a little shot, or boost, of encouragement. In this episode, Ciara shares some of the ways she has fought off anxiety, and the one way she is not willing to try... yet.

The guided meditations Ciara talked about will slowly be rolling out here: https://inrawlife.com/guided-meditations/

The essential oils she lists can be found here: https://www.doterra.com/inrawlife

Here's the list of what they are:

Until next week, don't just be a good human. Be a better one!

If there's one thing we've learned lately, it's that we actually can survive off of less to do. This episode, we explore how we can keep this lighter to-do list even after quarantine, and how it can help make us more successful and enrich our lives.

We cover all of the strange places we scroll instagram, a coke can success story, and yes, Ciara's (poorly attempted) rapping. 

Go ahead, push play!

This episode gets right down to one of the dirtiest things we do as humans... throwin' shade! (aka, judging people when they don't deserve it)

This week we explore actionable steps to help you stop judging others when you shouldn't. We also make sure to cover the times when it is actually good to judge. We talk sleep divorces, giant chocolate, and the literal Witch who stole Ciara's job. 

Here are links to the good news instagrams we talked about:

This week we are interviewing a variety of people who are self quarantined, each from a unique perspective...  A pregnant mama, an immunocompromised friend, Ciara's essential husband, and Jessika's voice of the gods dad. We also have a first hand account of a mama who had to get both her and her daughter tested for COVID 19. 

From dance parties to best quarantine guilty pleasures, this episode is a mix of the laughter and encouragement you need to get through days like these. 

A special thanks to Jonathan, Sarah, Miranda, Jason, Brittany, and Niki for sharing your personal experiences in quarantine.

 Enjoy the show!
