Tis the season, where we often forget that we are ENOUGH and awesome just exactly the way we are! We may never give as many gifts as Santa does and we may never look like Beyonce at the Holiday parties but that is OK!  Let’s rock what we’ve got and be content with that! Your gifts are enough! Your beauty & body, as it is right now, is enough!  Being content with that will help you enjoy the holidays and find the true magic of the season so much more! So, unwrap your own box of AWESOME this Christmas and love it, just as it is!

“You got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em!”  We discuss how, if, and when to censor thoughts and words when faced with negativity. How do you not toss the table when you completely disagree with someone, while setting strong and respectful boundaries at the same time? We realize that sometimes self-censoring, even if only for a moment, helps maintain compassion and peace during this time of year. Difficult, but it IS possible! When we practice holding space for those people we disagree with, we have the opportunity for growth with compassion, patience, and love.

Random Acts of Kindness, when given, witnessed, or received, is a great catalyst for a positive shift in the world! It’s easy to get caught up in our own chaotic and sometimes messy lives. We often forget that a simple smile, passing compliment, or unexpected gift can make the most significant impact on someone. How different would the world be if we all made a conscious effort to spread some shine to each other? And remember that you always get back what you put into the universe! Join us for a kindness challenge this month and let’s spread some shine, love, joy, and positivity!

The holiday season is upon us and the comfort of time-honored traditions is all around us, whether we like it or not! We talk about how tradition can enhance family values and create connection or drive us crazy and make us feel stuck. Family traditions, when done with intention, can help with a sense of belonging and create memories that can last for generations to come. Maybe it’s time to refresh your appreciation of an old tradition, like we did, add a new tradition you may have borrowed from someone else, or just create a brand new tradition of your own!

In this episode, we discuss how comparing ourselves to others just steals our joy. It’s time to stop comparing and start celebrating our uniqueness, individuality, and perfect imperfection instead. You are enough, exactly as you are. We talk about ways to help reaffirm that through mindfulness and adjusting the perspective of our situation. We also believe that being an example of self-kindness is so important for our children to witness and can inspire everyone around you! “The world is full of kind people. If you can’t find one, be one.”

THANKFULNESS is in the air, so naturally this episode is about gratitude! Jenny and Becky talk about how gratitude has helped them personally in their own lives, and how they practice it regularly. They explain what a gratitude reminder is and how you can create a unique reminder of your own! Sharing your reminder and what you're grateful for will help spread the joy that gratitude instills. It is one of the most powerful tools we have. Be thankful and USE IT!

Gossiping has physical effects on our brain and our bodies!  We are talking about the worst kind of hangovers: gossip hangovers. Those shotgun connections we make with others that are based on untruthful and hurtful stories about others is not a genuine connection, but a craving in our brain for balance from stress.  However, we have the option to replace gossip with positivity and love instead and have the same effect! Do you need a cure for a gossip hangover?  We have some good ideas!

Everything you want is on the other side of the big F word, FEAR! We discuss how to let go of the fear of “what ifs?” What if something happens to me, my family, my home, my pets? We can’t always be in control, so how do we deal with the weight of the fears we all have?  And it’s not only the “what ifs,” but how do we face those fears that will make us braver, smarter, and stronger on the other side? What are you waiting for? What is on the other side of your fears?

In this episode, we discuss how we may be entering the age of vulnerability. What if we lived in a society where it was okay to be unapologetically yourself and to put shame on the back burner? We are inspired by authors like Brene Brown, music, and modern day super stars like Lizzo, who tell us to love ourselves as we are, and to be fiercely who we are no matter what! Self-love is what we all need now! We love you, you are beautiful, and you can do whatever you want to do!

Time flies when you are having fun, rushing off to school, or running all your errands! Before you know it, you will blink, your babies will be grown-ups, and you will wonder where all the time went! In this episode, we discuss how being present and taking time to be in the moment, even when things are chaotic, is so important!
