Be Easy Life

It's been a while since our last Chit Chat, and life has been full. In this episode, we catch you up on everything that's happened over the last several months, from bringing home our kittens and navigating the adventures of spays, neuters, and kitten onesies, to family vacations, weddings, birthdays, Vegas dance floors, and one very memorable mohawk. It turned into a fun reminder that s...

What is the meaning of life? Depending on who you ask, you'll get a very different answer. In this episode, we explore the many places people find meaning throughout their lives: love, friendship, family, creativity, growth, adventure, service, self-expression, and simply being fully alive. We also discuss a perspective that might feel unsettling at first, but ultimately freeing: what if mean...

It’s easy to end up living a life that looks right on paper. Following a path that makes sense, that’s been modeled for you, or that you think you’re supposed to want. And sometimes it works… until it doesn’t. In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to wake up from that default setting and start asking a different question: what do you actually want? We get into the subtle ways influence...

In this episode, we share some of our favorite ways to stay grounded, connected, and tuned-in to your own energy throughout the day. Not as rulebook to follow or to achieve some kind of perfection. Just as a practice connecting to yourself. We talk about simple tools that actually help: breath, mantras (like “I know who I am” ), setting intentions, using oils, sage or palo santo, and even physical...

We’re not really “do stuff” people. As introverts and entrepreneurs, we tend to love our routines, our space, and doing… less. But lately, we’ve been reminded that sometimes doing stuff is actually really good for you. In this episode, we share a few recent moments where we stepped outside our usual rhythm — from a yoga and wellness event where we met new people and discovered things we didn’t eve...

People change. We change. And sometimes our resistance to that change becomes the hardest part. In this episode, we explore what it actually means to accept evolution, not just within ourselves, but in our relationships, our identities, and the lives we’re building over time. We reflect on moments where life shifted unexpectedly, like moving, growing, or returning to places that no longer felt the...

Our home and our lives recently got a whole lot more chaotic. In this episode, we share the story of how these little beings came into our world and what the last couple months of life with kittens has actually been like. We talk about their personalities and quirks, the ways we’ve had to shift our routines and our environment, and what it means to care for animals as the unique creatures they are...

In this episode, we’re sharing our childfree journey — how our perspectives evolved, the doubts we navigated, the conversations we had (with each other and with ourselves), and how we ultimately chose a life that feels aligned for us. For a long time, having kids felt less like a decision and more like the default setting. Somewhere along the way, that assumption cracked. What followed were years...

Welcome to Season Three of the Be Easy Life podcast! It’s been about two months since our last episode, and in that time, we’ve had a lot of new adventures and big life changes asking for our attention before we were ready to hit record again. In this episode, we’re catching up on where we’ve been and easing into what’s ahead. We talk about recent shifts in our lives and share a preview of what we...

You’ve seen them. You know them. You might love them… or they might make you cringe a little. We’re talking about classic Christmas movie tropes — from the big-city woman with the fancy job who heads to a small town and falls in love, to the precocious kid who somehow knows everything before the adults do, and all the familiar themes in between. Using the same draft format as our last episode ( Ch...

We love Christmas!! Enough to kick off our holiday series with a full-on Christmas Movie Draft.  In this one, we each drafted eight holiday movies (no overlap allowed), choosing the films that feel the most loved, nostalgic, and treasured to us. Things got competitive quickly, and there were a few truly tragic moments when one of us snagged a favorite before the other could.  We drafted across fou...

From kittens and Christmas trees to podcast fans and Patreon plans, this episode is a cozy catch-up on everything we’ve been up to lately. With Spotify Wrapped dropping this week, we were overjoyed to discover that our podcast has a few Top Fans (besides Kat), and we’d love to know who you are! Perhaps you'll join us on our soon-to-be-upgraded Patreon community, where we have plans to create...

To wrap up our ten-year wedding anniversary series, we each made a Top Ten list — our favorite memories, moments, and magic from twelve years together. The twist? We didn’t share our lists with each other until we hit record. From big trips and unexpected milestones to the tiny things that make daily life feel like ours, there were a few surprises… and a whole lot of overlap. It’s a lighthearted l...

Keeping with our ten-year wedding anniversary theme, we’re sharing the top ten truths that have shaped our relationship over the last decade. From the importance of communication and kindness, to celebrating the small stuff and remembering that “being easy” applies to marriage too, these are the things we’ve learned (and keep learning). Here are a few of our favorites:  💬 Communicate — ask for wh...

Ten years married, and we're still finding new ways to celebrate ourselves, our love, and the life we’ve built. We share how we marked our 10-year anniversary: a brunch with some of our favorite people, surrounded by pieces of our wedding day, laughter, and stories that reminded us how far we’ve come. Then we dive into our own celebration: a two-day Halloween rave filled with music, movement,...

Ten years ago, we said “I do”... and what a ride it’s been! In this episode, we look back at our wedding day: how we planned it (long before we were even engaged), the cosmic astrology deep dive that determined the date, and the wild year that included opening two businesses and planning a wedding from 1,000 miles away. We share the little things that made it extra special, the surprises we’ll nev...

It’s funny how often we think a new place, job, or chapter will make us someone new — or hope that a change of scenery will shift something inside. But somehow, we always end up right there with ourselves. External shifts might bring fresh perspective, but they don’t replace the work of actually discovering who we are. We explore what happens when we stop trying to escape ourselves and start movin...

The pod’s been poppin’ off lately! After hitting 1,000 downloads and receiving some beautiful feedback this week, we sat down to reflect on our podcast journey — both on and off the mic. We share how the podcast vision started, what it felt like to record those first few episodes, and how much we’ve grown by listening to ourselves (literally). Then we dive deep into authenticity — why it matters,...

What does it mean to “ be easy ” when life feels heavy? When the world is crashing down, ease can feel impossible — or even wrong. But this conversation reminded us that it’s less about fixing the darkness, and more about choosing how we move through it. We talk about the difference between numbing out and consciously choosing what supports you, the importance of moving energy instead of bottling...

Does your penchant for perfection turn into procrastination? Do you find yourself waiting for the exact right moment to feel fully ready (physically, emotionally, energetically) before you begin? Here’s the truth: you’ll never be at 100. None of us are. There’s always some ache, distraction, or reason to wait — but life keeps moving, and so can we. In this episode, we talk about the myth of “fully...

There’s a difference between being looked at and being truly seen. It’s when someone really gets you, recognizes you, and meets you as you are, without judgment, criticism, or misunderstanding. We talk about the beauty of those rare moments when someone truly Sees you (with a capital 'S'), the discomfort of being seen in a way that isn’t true to who you are, and what it’s like to own how...

We recorded this just minutes after turning in the keys to our old office... a space that held so much growth, evolution, and figuring-it-out energy since 2021. This move marks a shift. A new space, yes — but also new ways of being. We talk about what it means to level up with more ease, to be in service of yourself (not just others), and to release old roles or routines without losing the heart o...

We’re catching up on life lately — from getting our braces tightened (hello, little lisp) to rearranging the living room furniture and realizing how much a small shift can open up everything. Kat shares about her recent trip to Orange County, what she was working on, and the beach days we enjoyed when Ryan came to visit — including one really special afternoon with a longtime friend that brought u...

Brace yourself! We've both got braces... again! In this episode, we’re sharing our adult orthodontics journey — why we each decided to get braces (and Invisalign), the unexpected health reasons behind it, and what we’ve learned along the way.  Spoiler: it’s not just about looks. Whether it’s for jaw health, tooth alignment, or a bit more confidence in your smile, we’re making it perfectly nor...

How we start the day can change how the day feels. In this episode, we’re diving into morning routines — the ones we actually do (not just the Pinterest-worthy versions). From early sunshine and cold water face washes to movement, mindfulness, and Face Yoga in bed, we’re sharing what sets us up for a better day — and what we’ve learned from the mornings that didn’t go so well. We talk about: 🌅 Wh...
