Today we dive deep into the topic of friendship. We touch on all things good, bad, easy, toxic, confusing, healthy, and more on this topic, but we round it out by sharing the concept of the inner circle and outer circle of friends, and what it REALLY means to "close your circle of friends", or, "close in on" your friendships. Great friends can be difficult to come by nowadays, so it's important to know how to identify great friends vs. good ones vs. bad ones, and how to maintain healthy friendships. We talk about how to choose who goes in the inner circle vs the outer one, and knock down misconceptions about family in friend groups as well. Overall, we think everyone struggles with friends at some point in life, so we are confident in saying this episode really is for YOU.
Until next time,
Beth and Ayla

I used to think that all you had to do to be successful in business was just advertise hard enough. But it turns out that the age-old saying is actually true: "It's not what you know, it's who you know." Honestly, you can go far with great advertising, but you will never unlock your true potential without connecting to people and fellow vendors in your industry. It's just a fact.
If the thought of connecting with other vendors confuses or scares you, well, that's why we made this episode! We will talk about how we learned the importance of vendor connections, and the actual steps we take to build relationships with people in our industry. If you aren't fully sold on this concept, we also talk about the benefits of having these connections.
Let us know what you think after you listen!

We all know that our bodies are designed to protect us, and emotions like fear and nervousness can help keep us safe. What we wanted to talk about today is that, while those are very real feelings, the fact that there are many areas in life where we may need to push past our physical reaction of fear, in order to enrich our lives, and progress them in a way we never thought possible. From hanging out in crowded places, to solo travel, to skiing or cliff jumping, we talk about times in our own lives where we pushed past fear, and came out the other side with a new sense of growth and accomplishment. Do you feel like fear, feeling uncomfortable, or anxiety is stopping you from something you really want to do? Well, we hope this episode is the right place for you.
See you next week!

It's about time we had a fun, catch up and chill episode, so today is that day! We wanted to chat about our Summers, and what we have each been up to. It's been a combination of traveling for fun, traveling for work, reconnecting with family, exploring new places, and overall working hard and playing hard for your AOI hosts. We each also came across some chaotic travel at times, in the form of cancelled or emergency landed flights. We will give you the tea on all of that in the episode, but we also wanted to take the opportunity to leave you with some tangible advice, and what we think your attitude can be in the midst of travel chaos. All of that and more is packed into today's fun, but always helpful, episode!

Okay folks, we got a bit heavier than we expected on the show today, but it's a topic that is near and dear to our hearts. Both of us have personal experience in this topic, and we want to know if you did too.
Have you ever had a favorite hobby or pastime, whether it's TV, movies, books, video games, exercise, literally anything, take a little too much control of your life? Have you ever gone through a time in your life where something is wrong, and you cover it up by isolating, or escaping into a hobby? We're been there, and we think this is a niche, yet important subject to get out into the open. What is the line between engaging in a fun hobby, and using it to isolate from the world around you?
We get open and honest about some of our past experiences in this episode, and with that, we want to remind you that we are two human beings behind the microphones here at AOI, and we care about each and every one of you listening. If anything in this episode resonated with you, and you would like to continue the conversation, or confide in someone about what you're going through, then you are welcomes to reach out to us @artofintentionpodcast on Instagram, or you can email us at [email protected]
We post every Tuesday, so we'll see you again next week!

We all probably have thoughts about the beauty industry in North America, and the effects its had on women over the years. This topic could be unpacked in many episodes, but today, we tackled the anti-aging industry specifically, and shared our (maybe hot) takes on skincare, plastic surgery, and specialty beauty treatments. We think there's many ways the anti-aging industry preys on women of all ages, and perpetuates insecurities around aging. Curious for where we landed on the topic? Then you won't want to miss this episode!

While we love talking all things business owning and entrepreneurship over here, we also have a huge passion for perfecting your work ethic, no matter your current career. Whether you're about to be working in food service, retail, other customer service, or are about to pursue the corporate world, we wanted to create a crash course all about how to be the best employee you can be in anything you dive into. We break down the whole journey of starting a new job, from dropping off a resume to your first week, and let you in on small things that your employer is looking for that you maybe didn't know already. We encourage you to work hard and do your best every day, and to be a light in whatever career you're in right now.

We've all heard that phrase at one point or another, and every generation probably says is about the generation below them, but have you noticed a severe change in work ethic in the last few years? Whether you're an employer trying to hire the best people possible, or you're in the workforce and struggling with a younger generation, we argue that you're not alone.
We're two Gen Z girls who have not only noticed a huge shift in work ethic, we also share what we think is the source of it. We dive into what we have been seeing in the workforce the past few years, what we think is causing it, and practical ways to combat it, and we also encourage our generation, and the generation to follow, that they are capable of AMAZING things if they're willing to put in the work.

You heard (read) that right, we have been IN PERSON this last week, and we straight up could not be more stoked to be here. Beth made her way from warm and sunny Hawaii to join Ayla in early spring (so, still cold) Canada. We, of course, had the BEST time, and we can't wait to share all of the adventures we had and the content we were able to grab for the show.
We were in full sleepover mode for today's episode, which definitely included snacks, pj's, facemasks, AND us laughing and chatting about Beth's time in the Great White North. We went out on the down, went for work dates, had movie nights, and truly lived our best lives, and we NEEDED to share the week with you. We recommend pairing today's episode with a fun drink, some snacks of your own, and your comfiest clothes. Come hang out with us as we chat about Beth's time in Canada.

A few weeks ago, we started talking about some way to do a Moms appreciation episode here on the show, and we actually voice messaged back and forth a TON just talking about our Moms, and how much we appreciate them, even if we didn't realize that growing up. It just so happens that we just celebrated Mother's Day this week, so in honor of that, but also just to say it, today's episode is, well, exactly what you read in the title!
We share our favorite lessons or stories we learned from our moms, either by direct teaching or by example. We had LOTS to cover in this one, and we could probably even make a part 2, but for today, sit back with us as we take some times to appreciate our moms today. When you're done with the episode, if you havn't yet for Mother's day, make sure you give your mom a call, give her a hug, and let her know you appreciate her.
See you there!

We thought this Tuesday needed a little something fun, and that fun came in the form of Beth and Ayla taking the 16 Personalities Test live on the show today! We're sure lots of you have either heard of 16 Personalities, or are familiar with personality tests in general, and how fun it can be to get a new insight on who you are and how you see the world. Or, you can laugh a little bit if the test just straight up does NOT get it right. We were pretty surprised by our results today, and we definitely laughed a lot, so we invite you to come hang out with us, maybe even take the test alongside us, and just have a good time.

If you are a business owner / entrepreneur, odds are you will encounter at least one customer dispute. This can be something simple that you need to choose to overlook and move on from, or something that causes you to end the contract with that client, or something extreme that leads to a legal dispute (although that last one is extremely rare and we are going to talk today about how to avoid it).
In today's episode, we go over each of those three scenarios, give examples, and what to do for each type of dispute. We encourage any small business owner to give this episode a listen and to educate themselves on the topic of contracts and client disputes!
As always, if you have any questions, we are always happy to answer them! Just send them to [email protected], or DM us on Instagram @artofintentionpodcast
See you next week!
Your hosts, Beth and Ayla
