Somewhere in Between

This episode serves as a goal check-in point. In January, we set some pretty big goals, or, rather, we picked a singular word that describes how we aim to tackle the year. Our positive words ended up feeling a double-edge sword. Sometimes you can brute-force your goals into fruition, and other times you need to pivot so the "real" success can emerge. We both had some pretty kick-butt eve...

We brought our husbands onto the podcast with us! What initially started as a guy vs. girl scenarios quickly transformed into us realizing that none of us fit the typical "mold."

It’s easy to start to only identify with our “roles” in life. We’re moms, wives, workers, daughters, etc. and while all of those things are GREAT, we’ve found that those things aren’t our whole identity. They can’t be. It can be hard to answer who we are outside of those things so join us as we discuss how to set some healthy boundaries and establish who we are as an individual. We laugh, cry and,...

Do actions come before motivation, or does motivation come before action? Although this question might seem trivial, exploring it could reveal insights into how you approach new tasks and achieve them. It's crucial to understand the source of our internal drive: does motivation arise from tackling tasks and reaching goals, or do you require full motivation before taking action? Natalie and Ali...

Why is it so difficult to make friends as an adult? The very idea of putting yourself out there feels overwhelming as we age, so we'd rather settle in for the night with a nice show on Netflix.  Wouldn't it be nice to revert back to the ease of childhood friendships? Your mom sets up a playdate and wham! You have a friend! Or your teacher assigns you to a certain table and boom! New friend...
