You're Doing Great Sweetie

Today is a very special episode because we have our first ever guest on the pod!!! I invited my friend from college, Meaghan, to speak because she’s one of the rarest people I know. You’ll see why once you listen. On this episode, Meaghan gives us an introduction to spirituality, opens up about a recent family loss (*trigger warning*), living in the present, and even draws a few angel cards for us. I always leave my conversations with Meaghan on a higher vibration and I hope you have the chance today to feel that too. ~Lauren

Who are you? Such a simple question, yet so difficult to answer. Today we discuss personal brands/identities and introduce a helpful 5-minute meditation technique. We also discuss our grade school crushes—did you ever crush on your own gender or is that just us…? And on a scale of 1-Joe Goldberg, how creepy were we in middle school?? Serious question. Feel free to comment a number on our insta. We also have a new segment “Mis-Sign That Zodiac” featuring Rachel attempting to guess celebrity zodiacs!! Enjoy you guys & have a great rest of your week!!

After an affirmation from Rachel, we discuss the struggle of mindfulness, the power of visualization (shoutout to POW, Colonel Hall), what we would say to our young selves if we could go back in time, self talk for the 2021 ~swimsuit season~, Roger the buff kangaroo, and ending with a short segment of Why TF Would I Ever Need to Know That. We also thoroughly explain what a cubic inch is, in case you forgot. We might start a gofundme for Rachel’s elementary math teachers—stay tuned.

We aren’t sure if this reminder will make you feel better or worse...but for us, it puts our problems and anxious thoughts into perspective. Rachel explains what “masking” means in an ADHD [and societal] context and Lauren shares some of her previous experience with online therapy for social anxiety. Once we cure your anxiety forever (jk lol we wish) Rachel sends us out with an affirmation to help lead us toward resiliency and viewing our failures as essential life experiences. Thanks for listening & as always you are doing great.

Is the number on the scale a good metric for health? What does BMI measure? We kick off this episode with an affirmation which leads us into a discussion about body image, societal standards, how our capitalist economy plays a role, and why health may look different from one body to the next. We even share some of our own personal struggles as well as bad experiences at the doctor. Hope you feel more confident and comfortable in our own skin by the end of this episode. As always, you guys are doing great!!

Hi guys, Lauren here. Sometimes when Rachel and I feel burned out from life, our recordings end up as therapy sessions that are too personal to post. This is a short clip from one of those recordings, and I thought Rachel’s words were too relatable to NOT share with you! No intro. No outro. Enjoy this short bonus episode. Love to you all.
