Poise in the Noise

Alright, we know what you’re thinking: self-help books? Oh boy. *insert eye roll here* Butttttt hear us out! We know that there are opinions circling out there that self-help books are either overrated, a scam (do they really help?) &/or are corny. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the “self-help” industry creates a lot of noise about how whatever they are currently promoting is the “next b...

To "have it all" in life means to achieve a fulfilling balance across different aspects of your life, like career, relationships, health & personal pursuits, by clearly defining your priorities, setting realistic goals, managing your time effectively & accepting that sometimes compromises may be necessary, while focusing on overall contentment rather than chasing an idealized version of "everythin...

Today’s topic inspo ALSO came from a listener! She asked us what ways we’ve “become crunchy” - what products & swaps have we made in our life toward “clean living”. It seems at every turn, there is someone with a different opinion–eat healthy…but not too healthy (b/c you’ll miss out on nutritional value), use all the nontoxic things…but if they’re “too expensive” then don’t, don’t be too “crun...

Today’s topic inspo came from an OG listener since day one! She asked us: How do I have poise & stay strong in my convictions about what has worked for me when conversing with other moms about things like breastfeeding, co-sleeping, sleep training, baby-led weaning, screen time, trying for more kids, losses, working vs. staying home, vaccines, discipline, schooling, etc.? When we’re building f...

Society has gotten very casual with how we dress & present ourselves. Putting effort into how we look & dress plays a very important role in life. Honestly, how many times have you looked at a woman in athleisure or a sweatsuit & thought to yourself, “Wow, what a sophisticated, poised woman she must be!”? Our choice of attire reflects our personality, beliefs, values & mood. It is a way to express...

On this podcast, we talk a lot about having poise. But, what if we flip the script & talk about how having poise can be exhausting? We hope you’re ready for some real talk. We don’t claim to be experts at anything – even our own podcast title! We know how to have poise, but we also know that living this way can be exhausting sometimes…So today, we’ll be unpacking the reality of trying to have...

Married life is THE BEST! Getting married, the wedding planning & day you say “I do” are so exciting & an amazing vocation to enter into. But, that doesn’t mean it’s all rainbows and roses. It takes hard work & a lot of patience, understanding & respect to smoothly transition into married life. Don’t get us wrong, we both had our fair share of hiccups & learning curves to overc...

Today, we are talking about health–your health, specifically. Health is truly the most important thing we have to take care of in life. Hear us out…if we are not healthy & well, then there’s not much else you can do in life. We don’t need to tell you that there is a lot of noise about this topic, but we do need to say that health is truly NOT “one size fits all”!!! What works for other people’...

Decision making…everyone has to do it & it’s an important part of life. Decisions define what happens at every point in our lives. The little decisions, like “what you’ll eat for your meals today”, all the way to the big ones, like buying a house, deserve our care, discernment & poise. So, how can we have poise in decision making? & how do we make all of the decisions life requires us...

This topic may seem like a bit of a paradox - isn’t self-care inherently selfish? You are taking the time to tend to only yourself during this time, so how can this possibly be done in a selfless way or be a selfless act? In addition to that: Can you take care of yourself while living an inherently selfless life/lifestyle? leave a review~share with your friends~all of the above! Follow us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

Working women–today we are talking to you ! In a “hustle hard” culture, it’s easy to get caught up in all that comes with that – working long hours, seeing more of your workplace than your family, taking on too much, running on little sleep, etc. It’s not what we, as women, were meant for & we’re here to tell you that it is possible to work smarter instead of harder! leave a review~share with...

Pregnancy is a beautiful, wonderful & inherently challenging time (with growing a human and practically doubling in size & all). For some people, filters & manners go out the window for some odd reason when they come into contact with a pregnant lady. We’ve all heard stories of outrageous & ridiculous comments pregnant women in our life have received from friends & family, even...

“Beauty” has become an industry, a popular topic of discussion in many circles, an “area of expertise” & there is a LOT about it out there…making for a lot of noise. We’d like to shed light on the truth about beauty, share some practicals about makeup & skincare, & give our hot takes about it all. leave a review~share with your friends~all of the above!

Your wedding day is, obviously, a BIG day! There’s so much planning & prep that goes into all the details. Join us as we walk down memory lane & share about our “big days” - the ways we incorporated truth, goodness & beauty into our ceremonies & receptions - the times leading up to & on this day we had to exhibit some poise (because, no matter what, something will go wrong) - &...

We both love reading books that help us grow in truth, beauty & goodness (& yes, we also love a good “guilty pleasure” book!). Whether you love fiction or non-fiction, we have some great titles to share with you. Hopefully you can walk away with at least one new read to add to your list! leave a review~share with your friends~all of the above! Follow us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

Saying something, not being silent, when in the face of defending the truth is crucial! It takes courage, guts & a lot of knowledge & confidence to be able to not only recognize this kind of moment, but to actually act in it. These moments come in all different shapes & sizes - sometimes they pop up in one-on-one conversations with family or friends, other times they are large, public...

Pregnancy, birth & motherhood, especially experiencing them for the first time, are all super intimidating! There’s so much about each one to learn & understand. They can be overwhelming, to say the least. There is a lot of noise in the form of questions, doubts & fears that arise around these subjects - What if I miscarry? What about chromosomal abnormalities? How on earth do I get a...

There’s so much noise around men - most of it to the tune of they are dumb incompetent slobs or “full of themselves” selfish kids in an adult body (& many other terrible sentiments in between). They are discredited & beaten down, for what? Today’s episode is our attempt at turning the tides, focusing on all the incredible attributes we love about our men! It is crucial for us to understand...

Instagram (social media in general) is a wild place. We’ve talked about this a lot on our show before, but we are reiterating today how noisy this platform can be & how easy it is to fall into sin & see sinful things as we scroll. If we’re going to be on Instagram, & we want to use it as a way to be edified & to edify others, then we have to figure out a way to curate our feeds to...

Whether it’s the normal ups & downs of your cycle, your pregnancy/postpartum peaks & valleys, or even your menopause shifts, hormonal changes are constant for women. But, just because they are real & in-action doesn’t mean we have to get swept up in them to the point of completely losing our sense of reality. Women get a bad wrap for letting their hormones rule their actions instead of...

Personal finances is something that most people have to figure out on their own – it isn’t taught in schools or college or clubs or anywhere except at home, if you’re lucky! There’s a lot of noise, as always, around money - make as much money as you can, remember YOLO when you are considering buying stuff, if you can’t afford something right now that’s ok just charge it, go out to eat all the time...

There is WAYYYY too much noise about sex. But, this is nothing new -- it's been this way basically forever. The world tells us one, very loud message -- use contraceptive methods, have all the sex you want, sleep around, mute your body’s signals via the pill, etc.-- but then, what are we supposed to do when we’re married, wanting to have kids, & perhaps are unsuccessful & have no idea...

There’s SO much noise around the topic of gender, gender roles, gender ideology, blah blah blah…it’s exhausting to navigate & easy to get caught up in the false ideas circulating about who women & men were created to be. We hope to shed some light on true womanhood & how to go about growing in it via the below resources! leave a review~share with your friends~all of the above! Follow u...
