The Best Life Podcast

Life is… hard. There’s no way around it. Every now and again we come to a moment where we have to make a decision for the future, and we get caught up in trying to make the “right” choice. But what even makes a choice right? And if making decisions is just say easy as “listening to our intuition” how do we do that? The idea of making a mistake is terrifying for sure, but what if we said that there...

We all know someone who seems to always be going through a crisis. Do bad things happen to some people more than others? And if that’s true, are they manifesting the bad stuff, or is it all perspective? In any case, people rarely do something unless they’re getting something out of it. Sometimes, the victim role is comfortable and familiar. Sometimes, it’s easier to just push through the hard shit...

In the wake of the possible overturning of Roe v. Wade, you may be wondering if it’s okay to use your business accounts to talk about it. Do social issues need to be kept separate from business? Well, that’s really up to you. The way we see it is this: it’s your personal brand, and if it really matters to you, you should be able to talk about it. People may love it or hate it, but it’s not your jo...

Danny lost a bet, and as a result it meant she had to start 75 Hard. But upon further consideration, it has been decided that 75 Hard is a “hell no.” Look, we love a challenge as much as the next person, but this shit just ain’t healthy. In almost any scenario, extreme measures cause extreme rebounds, and if you’re really looking to build mental-fortitude or change your body, baby steps are the wa...

Easter Sunday just passed and it got us thinking about religion. We have our own experiences with religion, but things look a little different for us now. And while we recognize that our experiences are solely our own, we wanted to discuss with you how that has impacted our lives, and our journeys through spirituality and beyond. Religion is nuanced and deeply personal, this is just how WE feel ab...

2020 and beyond brought about a huge change in the working world. After time out of the office, very few people wanted to go back. Call it the Great Resignation, The Great Pause, or whatever else fits, but now more than ever, we have a huge wave of people who want to go all-in on themselves and their dreams. And besties, there has never been a better time to make the leap. If you’re feeling the pu...

For a lot of us, being our own bosses and working from home is part of our dream life… but damn, is it hard to stay productive! Being an adult is like having a never-ending to do list, so how do we stay so productive? Well, it looks a lot like doing it, deleting it, or delegating it. It also looks like a lot of things getting left undone. If it doesn’t move the dial forward, then doing it doesn’t...

Have you ever felt the pressure to be at a certain place in your career, have a certain amount of money, be married, have kids, or any number of life accomplishments by a certain time? We certainly have. Somehow, we get caught up in these self-and-societally imposed timelines of what life “should” look like by a certain age. Frankly, fuck that noise. Life looks so different than it did 50+ years a...

It’s no secret that we like to drink a glass of wine from time to time (or two, or three, or…). Maybe we shouldn’t say it, but drinking is fun! But it’s also really important to us to stay fit. So how do we have fun and relax with an alcoholic beverage, and still stay fit? Well, maybe we have different definitions of what fit even means in the first place… but hey, it’s totally possible to have yo...

There’s something about money that makes a lot of people insecure. Many will judge anyone they deem “more successful” than them, so often that it feels really scary to share any aspect of your financial success. The fear of “showing off” stops us from talking about our success at all! But who is that really helping? People are going to think whatever they want about you, and there’s not really any...

Wanna play a game with us? Jill has a card deck with interesting, insightful questions to ask friends and significant others, so we decided to play a round. What better way to get right to the juicy stuff. We share our opinions on chemistry, friend break-ups, deal breaker flaws in relationships, and the shit we’ll miss as we get older. Play along with us!   Is chemistry built, or inherent? [4:06]...

We have on a guest this week after a long, long time without any. So excited to get this chance to chat with The Movement Maestro herself, Shanté Cofield. We’ve had her on before (in fact she was one of our first guests!) and if you don’t already know and lover her, what the fuck are you doing?! Shanté’s motto is short and sweet: do the damn thing. The rules of life are made up… so just do whateve...

We’re all getting older, whether we want to or not. And we do not want. Like… at all. We do a lot of things in the name of “anti-aging” but is that a problem? Is focusing on anti-aging the same thing as fad dieting? In our opinions, it’s all about perspective. You can look young, and still feel just as shitty inside as someone who looks “older.” What’s most important is that you feel your best.  ...

After the shit-show of 2020 ’til now, we’re left in a funk. On a global level, and a personal level, it’s been hard! And even though it sucks (and it sucks hard) it’ll all be okay. In this episode Danny walks you through how to get yourself out of a funk. Because after all, no one can save you, except you. You have to save yourself.   If you’re going through a funk, you are not alone [1:08] Hormon...

Have you seen people around the internet getting in ice baths and doing challenges like 75 Hard, while crying out, “we can do hard things!”? Yeah, we have to. Just because you CAN do hard things, doesn’t mean you should. Isn’t life hard enough already? Hey, if you get something out of it, go ahead… but it ain’t gonna make you more prepared for the real life hard stuff we all face.   Doing hard thi...

Does feeling burnt out by your work make you weak? Of course not! Burnout is real, and in our hustle culture, it’s more prevalent than ever. But if you hate your work, then you’re going to hate your life. There’s a better way. Either you have to learn to enjoy the process, or you’ll end up burnt out with nothing left to give. Because even if you don’t make the choice to ease up, your body might fo...

Just like lawns, relationships need mowing. The longer you’re with someone, the easier it gets to push things under the rug, to ignore feelings, to harbor resentments… and its easy to take the good times for granted too! Relationships (both romantic and platonic) need upkeep. Here’s how we mow our lawns, how do you mow yours? And by lawns we’re definitely not talking about pubes, unless that’s you...

Everything feels more than just a little contentious these days. People fight on the internet and cut off family or friends over the smallest disagreements. If you ask us, its just a little immature. Nobody has to like every single thing you do, or have the exact same opinions! Believe it or not, there’s a way to disagree and still be friends—even on “bigger” issues. Even Danny and Jill don’t agre...

It’s been a minute since we’ve gotten a little biz-nasty, and we thought it was about time. Danny and Jill are entrepreneurs, and investment is a huge part of running your own businesses. That begs the question: have they ever made a BAD investment? The shocking truth is, no. And not because they have some supernatural sixth sense to sniff out bullshit every time, but because we really don’t think...

So, you want to spice things up in bed. It’s easy to fantasize (pun intended) but the actual conversation is a lot harder (wink, wink) to have. Where do you even begin? And where do you finish? (Okay okay, we’re done now.) It can be difficult to talk about your fantasies with someone you love, but sex is important and it’s necessary. Let’s figure out how to get down and dirty.   Wanting to try “sp...

Sure we can talk the talk, but damn, does it feel impossible to walk the walk all the time. Does that make us hypocrites? No way! No one has their shit together all the time, not even Jill. (Okay, maybe a little bit Jill) Just because you aren’t perfect doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be out there, sharing yourself with the world. Somebody needs you! If you’re not perfect, thats okay! Just get up tomor...

Our special guest this week is our very favorite podcast producer, and Danny’s favorite (human) daughter, Courtney. Danny and Courtney have been struggling with some insecurities lately, and thought you might be too. Insecurities are a part of life whether we like it or not. (And trust us, we do NOT like it.) So how do we carry on? It ain’t easy, but we got this.   Feeling insecure and directionle...

You have great things inside you, Bestie. We see unlimited potential. So why don’t you see it in yourself? We’ve been there too, not believing we were capable of what others believed of us, but if you see potential in others (and you probably do!) why not see that potential in yourself? We’ll believe in you until you believe in yourself.   Seeing potential in others (that you don’t see in yourself...

Gather round, Besties, we’re here today to tell you the story of the Bad House Guest. Prepare to grab your panties (or other various undergarments) because this was a wild ride. And while we really wish it didn’t happen, it did teach us a thing or two about boundaries. It’s never fun to set boundaries, but believe us when we tell you they are absolutely necessary to keep on living the Best Life.  ...

Sooo… asking for a friend… how do you get your partner to lose weight? It’s a touchy subject for sure, no one wants to feel like their partner isn’t attracted to them, so how do you go about it? Let’s get real, bodies change, and they change for a lot of different reasons. So get to the root of the issue, and don’t forget to be kind.   How to get your partner to lose weight [1:03] Who is it scary...
