Welcome to Our Box

Baby is on the way!!! We celebrate Amy’s bun in the oven by hashing out all the interesting ways our bodies change when growing a human.

So you’re moving in together! You may be worried about whether you’ll agree where the forks should go or if you’ll ever be able to fart again, but rest assured there are way more important (and challenging) points that you’ll get to figure out … together!

Women may be called the “fairer sex” but we’re still humans. We still have bodily functions - and it’s good that they function! So why is it so secretive? What’s the big deal?

We get it, she scratched. Everyone is going to have an opinion. But have you ever jumped 10 ft in the air followed by multiple twists for a blind landing? Didn’t think so.

The Olympic movement has meant a lot of things over the 100+ years of the modern Olympics. In this Mini Box Cast, Amy reminds us that ultimately it’s the global connection of the human heart that is so powerfully on display. And … Go USA!

Amanda asks, “Does anyone else in our box notice that running in your 40s feels a lot different than running in your 20s?” This quick 9 min podcast by Amanda gets real about running.

Is patience a virtue? Can we get better at it? We’re discussing the ways patience (or lack of) impacts our lives.

It’s valuable for anyone to have a role model, but do women benefit from being guided by other strong women? We think so! But we see a gap in options.

Is doubt the opposite of faith? Does it come from original sin? In part 2 of our “Box” set we dig in to our doubt.

Does faith have to be tied to religion and what does having it or lacking it mean in our lives? This is the first of a dual-part “Box” set series.

Wrinkles, bags, sags. Our face changes as we age. But is that all bad? Why are we so obsessed with taking drastic measures to look younger when our face reflects who we are?

Can women really be friends? If so, what makes these bonds different than other relationships? In this podcast we discuss Kayleen Schaefer’s book, Text Me When You Get Home, and how it made us reflect on our own female friendships.

Failure can feel so final and unredeemable. Like a mark of our human worth. We need a new word for the failures with a lower case f. Those that are but a step in our long-term growth.

“If the men want deviled eggs, then the men can bring them.” What are the things you need to say but can’t always find the words? We’re hashing out why speaking honestly is so hard but so necessary.

Marriage is death ... or at least metaphorically? Or something like that. Whether it’s your love languages, shared hobbies, hot sex or therapy, what are ways we can invest in our marriages new and old?

Move over Mel Gibson, we’ve got the real deal. From the serious to the silly, there are legitimate things that occupy women’s minds that may never, ever, ever, cross a man’s. Buckle up.

Do you naturally dig in or lean back? Do you do it to really fix a problem or for your ego? As diggers we look at why it may be good to lean back.

Hindsight from our box shows us we have a few regrets. Some of them “low cal” regrets but others are full fat. This is the stuff you realize with age.

Hold your fire, ladies. Most of the time the war is only in our heads. What are the mind games you play with others or yourselves?

In a world where if you’re not the next big thing, you’re nothing, how do you embrace and be satisfied where you’re at? We’re hashing over the blessings and pitfalls of mediocrity.

We’re sharing thoughts and goals for 2021, hoping that at the end of the day at least some of these come true and we don’t feel lazy in December when we listen back to this.

Hallmark knows this time of year is romantic and we do too! Even more importantly Amy got married! There’s no better time to ruminate on romance.

Are leaders really failing us or are we the ones failing? Why when there is so much emphasis today on leadership do we feel there are less of them?

Why are some friendships deeper than others? Do you ever feel the slow death of a friendship and wish it would just end?

What gets your goat, makes you roll your eyes or feels like nails on a chalkboard? We all have pet peeves and we’re airing ours today!
