Today we're talking about that beloved b-word that's thrown around all over social media + in our spaces these days.

We're talkin bout BOUNDARIES.

What the fuck are they? How do we set them? Why do we avoid setting them?

You know, all of the intricate things that come up with the B word, the big old B.

Tune in for some considerations for setting your own boundaries, whether that's in:

Generally, imposter syndrome is portrayed as a negative phenomenon - but can it be a good thing?

In today's episode we dive into imposter syndrome and explore how we might actually benefit from it.

Episode Outline:

• What is imposter syndrome?

• Where does it show up in our lives?

• Can imposter syndrome be a good thing?

• Takeaways + thought points

Just in time for Valentines day 💕 In this week's episode, we're talkin' all about relationships - and not just the romantic kind, we’re talkin bout all relationships - friendships, coaching relationships, parasocial relationships...

It's not often that we take time to think about the different relationships in our lives, the ways in which they add value (or take it) to our day-to-day, the ways in which we're showing up for them etc. So today, we're diving into an open discussion about our views on relationships, what we personally value + seek out in differing relationships + some considerations for the relationships in your life.

We hope you enjoy this open ended episode! And on Valentine's day, we hope you give some lovin' to yourself + the important people in your life.

Much love from us, always!
