Ep 179: It’s been over three years since we started the podcast, so we thought a proper re-introduction was overdue! Even though we do a catch up at the beginning of each episode, we know there are a lot of new listeners who stumble upon our show and haven’t been around to hear the play by play in the last (almost) 200 episodes!
Allison is in Tulum, focusing on wellness and remote work. She’s been working with a resort here doing freelance marketing and creative direction. Ceara is back in California on a freelance work shoot (her 4th trip with Visit California). She also got to spend time with a friend in Tahoe and go to an Odesza concert.
We share about where we are currently at in life, our favorite activities, hobbies, the need to revisit our 2024 goals and express our gratitude for the incredible community we have. We’re so lucky to be able to do this show and can’t wait to see what else is to come.
If you’re new to our show, here’s a few things you should know! We started the podcast in 2020 to help fight the loneliness epidemic and bring together a like-minded community of people interested in healthy living, travel, entrepreneurship and taking risks to create your dream life. With new episodes every single Friday, we hope to be a part of your weekly podcast lineup. We’re always honored to have new listeners and appreciate any support on social media, our patreon or sharing by word of mouth.
We do a segment called ‘peak of the week’ in every episode. This is a way to show gratitude and acknowledge all of the incredible things happening in our lives. We also invite our listeners to send in their peaks on our instagram story box every Monday. Then we read a few aloud on each episode.

Ep 177: In the catch-up segment, listeners get a full long update on the girls' lives.
We get to hear all about Ceara’s wedding in Charleston. She shares some non-traditional / less common decisions they made such as a welcome party to greet guests before the wedding, an extended cocktail transition after the ceremony, not doing speeches during dinner, a flashlight paparazzi exit and late-night takeaway pizzas for guests.
Allison is in Tulum for a few weeks. Even though getting to Mexico required enduring multiple flight cancellations and lost luggage, she is still happy to be there to relax, have quiet time, prioritize movement, eat healthy and sleep.
Then we get into the 'Opinionated AF' part of the episode. This is a new monthly segment where we share our opinions on the internet's opinions. For added entertainment, we select videos that have gone viral, are hot takes, and / or a little controversial.
As a reminder, it’s not that serious, we’re just here to laugh and have fun conversations with our internet friends to switch up from our aspirational and wellness content. It’s all about balance!

Ep 176: It’s the last Friday of the month, so that means a ‘What Would Your Bestie Do?” question and answer episode. Our listeners send in anonymous questions and we candidly answer.
In the catch up segment, Allison shares her recent updates and coast to coast travels (even Peaches tagged along). The last week included a road-trip along the Pacific Coast Highway and staying at a cute hotel on her bucket-list. Then she cheered on her partner at his CrossFit competition. And of course, finishing out the weekend in Charleston for Ceara’s wedding, which listeners will get to hear about next week!
For this episode of WWYBD, Allison discusses relationship dynamics, boundaries, and self-reflection.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED:
I keep repeating the same dating experiences. How can I figure out where these patterns come from and how to fix them? I looked through my boyfriend’s texts and found something that is making me question our future together. Should I stay with him?Any advice for getting through heartbreak? Another girl called my husband her “comfort person” and I think she wanted to sabotage our wedding.

Ep 173: Allison interviews her friend Faith Mabry who she met on a trip to The Netherlands last fall. The two crossed paths at Faith’s second-hand designer store and immediately hit it off. They ended up going to dinner the next night and Allison stayed at Faith’s for a week in her spare bedroom.
We’ve been getting a lot of questions about moving abroad, making friends in a new city and how to take the leap so we thought it would be perfect to have Faith come on the show as she has been living abroad for almost a decade now!
Faith shares her experience growing up in California and how her love for music inspired her to travel and attend various festivals. The venues, fashion and festival goers helped broaden her perspective which made her want to travel more. When the opportunity to study abroad in Europe in 2015 was presented, she jumped at it and has been living abroad since!
Faith shares her love story of meeting her husband in Amsterdam, living in Australia and The Netherlands. While living abroad is a beautiful life-changing experience, we keep it real by discussing the challenges, including letting go of your old life and building a new one, not being able to come home for every family emergency and more.
TAKEAWAYS:
