The winter/holiday season is always crazy busy no matter what you celebrate. There is something about the schedules getting jam packed with parties, end-of-the-year obligations, work requirements, etc. They get jam packed and stressful. The last thing you feel you have time for is time to take care of yourself. You’re fatigued, you’re overwhelmed, you’re overstimulated and the last time you went to the gym was before Halloween. Carly has some great advice and tips to keep your MOJO up in the gym and your health journey.
You can do this! Take the time to listen to the whole episode and get your motivations groove going through the holidays and into the New Year!

Things you didn’t know you needed to know about shopping, Amazon, the answer to where “away” is once it is deemed trash, and so much more. Victoria had the time to watch Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy on Netflix and boy is it a doozy. It made such an impact that this whole episode was meant to break it down and encourage you to watch it yourself. So much damage, in more ways than one, is happening every time we click the “Buy Now” button and add items to our carts. The goal is that we will think twice before purchasing something new, maybe fix what isn’t permanently broken and save a little bit of the future one thing at a time! We are in a season of shopping, lets return it to the season of giving! Check out this documentary below as soon as you have a minute to put down the shopping bags.

Make sure to listen to the end for some Bloops! Sometimes you think you have it all together, and sometimes life throws you so many curve balls you have no choice but to go with the flow and hope for the best. This holiday week was a cornucopia of life getting in the way…so today’s episode is brought to you by spontaneity and a prayer…but we did it!

We’re always down for a game night and this one we just happened to share with “the world.” We hope you laugh and smile today!!

Bridget Clawson hold many titles: BSN, RN, Yoga teacher, concert goer, beach babe and what we are chatting her up about today…Death Doula. She has a fabulous perspective on what she experiences on the hospital floors with her medicinal knowledge and her spiritual background of the Yoga teachings…she mixes the two to help aid her ability to help her patients and the families that surround them in every phase of healing. After this chat we firmly believe that Bridget is a healer and her purpose is in learning about people and guiding them to peace in any way she feels she is able. We want to give a big thanks to Bridget for taking time on her day off to come in and talk with us about such a solemn topic and for giving us so much logic and hope about it.

Everyone needs to let out a little steam about things that bug them every once in a while….but when it is a frequent occurrence is it still called venting? We learned that is what is called Emotional Dumping! Who knew?! We chat through the difference between Emotional Dumping and Healthy Venting….because they are very different. The we rattle off 10 things we just can not stand and need to get off our chests…we think you can relate in these thoughts so that we can collectively let it out and then let it go! Acceptance after the fact is what makes it healthy!

’Tis the season for candy being on sale at the stores, festive parties with treats, taking some bites of your kid’s Halloween candy bags….we all know this too well and feel the after affects from indulging too much. But what really is inflammation? Can we help our bodies with specific foods or diet? What does sugar really do to our bodies? And even worse, our brains? We all joke that some foods, primarily sugars, are addicting….but is it really? We tackle all of these questions in Episode 92….because…. “the more you know!”

It’s that time of year again when you reflect on your many trips around the sun…birthday time! Hopefully you learn something from them, hopefully you put those lessons into action…either way it's all about growth! Carly turns 39 (providing 9 lessons) TODAY and Victoria turns 36 (providing 6 lessons) in the next two weeks…listen in on what has come up new this past year and what have resurfaced…lessons tend to stick around until they are truly learned, so you’ll hear how human and normal that really is.

Take time to reflect on your years at your birthday or maybe just do it now! It’s amazing how much you realize without even knowing it!
Lets make it EXTRA! No, really. Do it!

It feels like there is tragedy all around us at all times all over the world. Feeling hopeless and helpless is a very common emotional response. We just had a local tragedy at our childhood grade school, St. Francis of Assisi, when it was engulfed in flames and burnt down. While everyone got out safely, the weight of distress is heavy in our community. With disaster comes community, hope, love, and action….and that is what we wanted to talk about! How can we help? How can we efficiently lend a hand or a heart to those in need? What are the best ways to show we care? Tune in for all of these answers…and of course, a little humor ;) If you want to donate to any cause, volunteer in any way, or start the process for yourself on how to feel hopeful in a hopeless situation…CHECK OUT THE REFERENCE LINKS BELOW that will direct you to amazing organizations already in the fight for humanity.

It is officially Spooky Season and we SO here for it! This season brings so many exciting things like pumpkins, sweaters, cold mornings, and the main topic of today’s chat….all things scary! Horror movies, thrillers. Haunted houses, and friendly prank scares…we all react to them differently. There is a reason why some of us love the rush and some of us absolutely stay away from them all. Which one are you?? We talk through all of the physical symptoms our bodies go through when reacting to fear and why highly sensitive people just can’t handle the heat. Check out the reference links for more!

If we asked you to stop and think of anyone you know that is always playing the victim in situations and never taking responsibility, could you name someone? Maybe two people? What if it is you?? We all can have the tendency to living in a Victim Mentality. Blaming other’s for our misfortune, being a catastrophist in any situation, living in a dark cloud of depression or anxiety…and so many more signs. We get really down and dirty with it, maybe even helping a personal situation of our own in the process. The Victim Mentality is no joke, so make sure you give this chat a good listen and truly take a moment to be honest with yourself if any thing feels like a place that you live….theres always time to make improvements!

We got a lot of requests for an online dating episode and here it is! We hope it resonates with you to talk about the trials and tribulations in some shared experiences. It is 2024 and the main form of dating is to download an APP and swipe yes or no until you are thoroughly burnt out. It is exhausting. No matter what phase you’re in: 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, etc. online dating has pros and cons. Yes, believe it or not there are positives to the experience! We chat about it all and make sure you make it to the end where we have a fun time reading some ridiculous bios that are for pure fun (and to share the struggle of finding genuine and “normal” people in your filter search). Get out there! Be genuine! Ask for what you want! DO NOT SETTLE FOR LESS THAN WHAT YOU DESERVE!

We are so used to having any type of food we want in any season right at our finger tips. We don’t think twice about what to get at the store or when to get it because whatever we need is always there. However, what if we shift our eating to what happens seasonally with our local farmer’s harvest? The amount of environmental and nutritional benefits are more than what we ever thought of…and if you’re anything like us, you did not think about this too much at all. This is one where you definitely want to check out the reference links below to see the full list per season of what produce is the best to put on your table and in your families bellies!
—————
Real Tip of the Day: Coffee!
Check out the more organic bags of coffee or more local bags of coffee at your grocery store. The price is a little bit more, but the taste will prove its worth it!
Lets make it EXTRA! Get Social!
Get on social media and check out when your town or the closest town is having a farmer’s market! Schedule it into your weekly or monthly routine of you and your family!
