Tings and Things

If you were outside as a kid, monkey’s blood was a staple in your bathroom. It was essential for healing all the cuts and scrapes. The healing journey will look different for everyone. Healing will also mean different things to each one of us. 

Our regrets can help inform our future decisions. If you have been listening to us for a while you know we have made some questionable choices from time to time. Are there things you regret? 

Self-esteem is a weird one, but it is so important to have it under control. There are some things we have grappled with on this journey and we managed to pinpoint some of the behavior which we found to be damaging to our self-esteem.

Creating your reality is easier than you think. It is tough to overcome the situations that life throws at us, but we have to try don’t we. We are blessed to be living the life that we have manifested, and we want the same for you too   

Ah, the red flags are so interesting. We have a legendary episode on this (we will add the link to the episode down below) Why do we ignore red flags? Why do we as people overlook glaring flaws in the people that we are enamored by? Let’s get into it. Here is your “Red Flags” episode: https://www.buzzsprout.com/248789/6686438

We always think that time is on our side but the reality is we don't know what tomorrow holds. Instead of waiting and looking back with regrets do it scared and at least each time that you make a mistake self improve until you have mastered it.  

In relationships, it’s normal to experience moments where we grow together and moments where we grow apart. Growing apart can signal to us that changes need to be made or that the relationship no longer aligns with us.

It is so important to be intentional about how we protect our time and energy whenever we can. All of the things we’ll address are normal human behaviors, but if compounded over time, they can be quite draining.

Braveheart is honestly a certified classic, if you haven’t watched it it, you need to reevaluate some things in your life. However, the definition of bravery looks very different in this day and age. Let’s unpack it 

Ah, the pursuit of self-actualization is so important and something we have strongly advocated for. As we have grown and matured we are starting to find fulfillment in different things. What does that look like? We don’t know yet but this is a step in the right direction 

Mane, the rat race is a real thing and sometimes it just seems like we don’t have control over our own lives, we are just bouncing from thing to thing like we are in a pinball machine, and we need to ask are you the ball or the machine?

As two individuals that are rather familiar with rock bottom, the art of a bounce-back is one that we have had to learn. Stumbling isn’t falling, and we want to share a couple of gems with you.

There is no time like the present and sometimes we just have to work with what we have. How do you make today effective and harness your energy to catapult yourself forward with the next 24 hours you have.

 This space is so interesting. We are students of the game, we see everything going on and love to see things growing and developing. How do you become a “professional” what does that look like for your peers to take notice?”

The title says it all, let’s get into everything we are not condoning from here on out. 

As people that have recently endured a global pandemic we know that your proximity to certain people can be harmful to you in the long term. There is some behavior you need to avoid like the plague, this is your public service announcement.

You hear about FOMO a lot these days. We can all relate, whether we see the homies linking up together while we are at a family function. Your uni friends catching your favorite artist in concert, we can all relate to FOMO in one way or the other.  

You know this journey to self-discovery is incredible and life is funny because it takes a while for things to click but when they do finally click, the moments of realization are incredible. These are some of the things that have clicked for us recently. 

This might be a very interesting chat and we have wanted to have it for a while but we were working on the right way to approach all of this. Ideas are not unique and more than one person can decide to do something, you may start a podcast, get a blog going or start making music who knows. Do you feel threatened by your peers are starting in a space that you occupy? 

Life is full of distractions, and being able to separate yourself from these distractions is key to elevating yourself one step closer to your dreams. What kinds of things do you need to separate yourself from? Everyone has something that is holding them back from getting to that next level, no matter what level. e

This relationship Game is a very very sticky one. No relationship is perfect and it certainly takes two to tango but let’s focus on you and what you can do to help make things better

Life is not a linear journey by any means. As listeners of the podcast, you know we have been very open about our struggles and how we have been dealing with things. From episode to episode this is something that we mention in passing from time to time. Tings and Things are definitely a community and we genuinely feel like you guys are family and want to be as open and transparent with you in this...

From time to time we like to come here and give you some cold hard truths and today feels like one of those days. Some of us shouldn’t be dating and how do you know that you should give this potential talking stage a skip? 

Do you remember that song when we were kids “Have patience, have patience, don’t be in such a hurry?” We don’t know why that didn’t translate to adulthood but it didn’t. Sometimes it is okay to be in second gear, and not go all out, all the time.
