While we do, please enjoy an encore episode....
Hooray for the fact that cleaning out your space can clean our your mind! On today's episode we tackle minimalism! Not just cause it's trendy, ('cause you know us, we are so into trends ;) ) but because it can sincerely improve your mental health! Not to mention it makes your house look great.
This episode, we share ideas from Marie Kondo, THE Minimalists, as well as our own tips from our separate journeys through minimalism. Plus, there are some spooky squirrels, strange hoarding habits, and a very special anniversary!
You now have 2 requirements: Push play. Enjoy!

ENCORE Episode.... While Jessika is out on maternity leave, we're bringing you some of our favorite episodes of IRL past!
Your life is what you make of it! So make it a good one! Want to know how? Well, you can start by not being so darn hard on yourself when you “fail” and by not holding yourself to impossibly high standards!
This week, we talk with Janis Isaman from www.mybodycouture.com. Her approach to physical health is unique and transformative, based on education, movement, and full body sustainability. We both learned a lot from Janis, and are so excited for what you'll get to learn too!
Spoiler alert, all of those intense work outs out there are designed for the teenage boy body/stamina. So if you aren't one of those, it's ok to take it easy on yourself! <3

ENCORE Episode.... While Jessika is out on maternity leave, we're bringing you some of our favorite episodes of IRL past!This episode has Ciara in tears! Why? Because in this ep, we interview one of Ciara’s favorite and most respected people in the world, Arrow’s Montessori teacher, Dana.
Dana is the mother of a 32 year old, a 21 year old, adopted twin 15 year olds, and the teacher of 16 bright and amazing 2-5 year olds. She loves all children like the humans they are, and she wouldn’t settle for anything less!
Whether you are a parent or not, we HIGHLY recommend listening to this episode. It will teach you how to treat kids, and remind you how to treat adults!
After all, we are all humans. So let us all strive to be better ones, and help build a stronger next generation while we are at it!

ENCORE Episode.... While Jessika is out on maternity leave, we're bringing you some of our favorite episodes of IRL past!
Instead of starting this off with a strength clip from one of our listeners, we are starting this episode with part of an interview that didn't make it into our Quarantine episode last year, but hasn't left our hearts and minds since. Actually, it inspired this entire episode.
Today's episode is all about Standing Up for yourself and Speaking Up when you know it's right!
Thank you Niki for always being who you are, even if it means stepping into an uncomfortable situation, and for inspiring us to do the same.
You're all going to love this episode. It's inspiring, impactful, and just dang good.
So go ahead. Take a listen!

And in this episode, we've got you covered!
Push play for some real, raw conversations on the ugliest sides of jealousy we've seen in ourselves, and what the heck we do about it!

Did you know gratitude could literally give you more energy!?! Neither did we, until Jennifer from gratitudemission.org filled us in!
Man, what an incredible episode! There is so much richness in such a short amount of time! Jennifer was kind enough to be completely vulnerable with us. This is a raw moment that most people would be petrified to share, but Jennifer did! We are passionate about share stories like this because it can save people's lives!
Plus, we talk about how incredibly amazing gratitude is, and all of the ways it WILL LITERALLY CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

Some things we go through suck. It's just hard. And it can feel so isolating! Even though we feel like the only person on the planet who has experienced what we are going through, chances are, there is someone else in our shoes.

For this series, we are taking a very serious look at journeys that are different than our own.
For each of these stories, we challenge you to be open minded and willing to learn. You don't have to understand someone else's story. But it doesn't make it any less of a powerful story for them.
This week we talk with with one of Jessika's best friends, Rachel.
Rachel is an inspiring, beautiful soul. And that's all that should matter. Yet Rachel has discovered that sometimes that's not all that people take into consideration. Rachel is black & tells her story of how that has impacted the way people look at her.
In this encouraging conversation, Rachel sheds light on how she dusts off people's opinions and tackles everything in front of her knowing her gender and race don't have anything to do with her strength!
We really enjoyed this conversation. We invite you to learn and listen, and hope you enjoy it too!

Her coming out story is riddled with heartache, yet her journey to overcoming that traumatic part of her life is beautiful.

Leah is a happily married mom of 5, raising her babies in suburbia outside of Los Angeles. While her family is picture perfect, and she is living the American dream, Leah has to have conversations with her babies that many of us never even have to think about.
Leah is biracial, and everything from the way her daughters view their hair to the heavy explanations she'll have to give her sons on how careful they need to be around cops, the fact is, the color of skin still defines a different path for people in similar situations.

S#*%, I know where she learned that! ...Ever hear yourself saying that? If you are a parent, and you aren't saying that, we hate to be so tough but... you must be in denial. 'Cause our kids are cute, sweet little clones of us. And that includes the not so cute or sweet sides of us!
That's exactly what today's episode is all about: The (let's just say it like it is) ugly parts of us that we see rub off on our kids. Today's episode is SO tough to admit, but it's true. And luckily, we find ways to laugh at the ugly sides of ourselves.
You can too! Join us for the conversation!

Dana is the mother of a 32 year old, a 21 year old, adopted twin 15 year olds, and the teacher of 16 bright and amazing 2-5 year olds. She loves all children like the humans they are, and she wouldn’t settle for anything less!

Wow this episode is unlike any other! Today on the podcast, we interview... OUR MEN! 😳😬😜
For a trailer of what to expect in this episode, fast forward to the bloopers at the end! You may love it ...you may hate it. Eh, either way, we'll be back to our regular scheduled program next week.
Of course, we couldn't miss this opportunity to feature the men who cheer us on and rattle our cages all in one breath!
This episode gets real. It gets messy. It gets RAW! We think you'll get a kick out of it.
Enjoy!
P.S. - This episode is probably better on YouTube! There you can get a full, unedited and uncensored version of how it went down. Warning: There is a lot of unbleeped cursing in the YouTube version, even though Jed "tamed it down" since "Ciara prefers a family show!"

YES! We could all use a little more self-care this season! Or this year! Man!
Now don't mistake this for drowning yourself in excessive escapes like wine or shopping. But there are some amazing benefits to self-care, and we have the ways to help you implement self-care into your week (and if you are really good, into your every day!)
We talk about the power of No!, scheduling tips for self-care, and we unleash what Jessika and Ciara's favorite weird thing to do was as a 10 year old. Watch out... this get's redneck AF!
Enjoy!
We talked about Routine Presence, and here it is!!!
If you'd like to break it down, here are the two products you'd get!

This week, we had the pleasure of interviewing Diana Swillinger, life coach and host of The Renew Your Mind Podcast. Diana is amazing at looking at situations, not as they seem, but as they really are!
Diana uncovers some things that are preventing Jessika and Ciara from sticking to their habits and goals. She gives juicy good thoughts about how the mind works and how it can try to convince us to veer away from our goals. And, she gives us simple ways to redirect our minds so that we can actually stick to our habits!

Confession: Ciara gets a little overly perfectionistic when it comes to the audio quality of the show. Also... this might be one of her favorite episodes ever! So, when the audio quality of this episode was less than perfect, it made her perfectionism short circuit.
That being said... this episode is AMAZING! It is inspirational, a ton of fun, and Jessika's wisdom even made Ciara cry when she re-listened!
Soooo...

It doesn't matter how much you prepare, take precautions, or set yourself up for success, there are some things that are just beyond your control. And when that happens... those, when poop hits the fan type moments... you shouldn't do it alone!
This episode we talk about how freaking accurate the Beatles' "Help" is, especially the more time goes on. And no joke, in the middle of talking about how much we need help, poop really does hit the fan leaving Ciara in desperate need for some help. Thank goodness Jessika was there to save the day!

This week, we cover: the strangest funeral arrangement ever, big booties, glitter, and of course, the 80s! Plus, Marit shares a truly raw moment with us that left us all pretty emotional.
Marit has been a news anchor, radio morning show host, marketing director, a mom of 2, and a wife... sometimes all at once! She conquered the art of doing it all, but without the overwhelm.... because she loved every minute of her journey! Learn more of her story here.

Geeking out this episode! You may not know this about us, but we are HUGE fans of the Enneagram! And we want you to be too. The Enneagram is layered, so we try our best to explain the basics to kickstart your Enneagram journey. Trust us, it's a journey you'll love!
Side note: We recorded this episode wayyyy back in February, but due to some personal things (which you'll hear about in the show), we decided to wait before we published it. So now here it is!
Since it's from February, it's all bright eyed and bushy tailed with some of our biggest frets being... making it to bed in time before baseball and a masseuse catching the flu. The freaking flu! Don't you wonder if it was actually COVID!? Ah, life sans pandemic.
...anyway! Open up this treasure of an episode. You are sure to get something helpful out of it.

We recorded this episode in the middle of May, so we don't address grief's relation to the social injustice issues that are heavily weighing on all of our hearts right now. But it is very fitting. For more on our fight to end racism and social injustice, you can check out episode 11.
As for this episode, buckle up as we talk about everyone's favorite topic... grief!
Good grief, do we have to!? Yeah, Ciara reallllly didn't want to, but Jessika held her hand through it. And so did a surprise guest that neither of the girls were expecting to pop in.
We laugh through a lot of the pain in this episode, but address it nonetheless. 'Cause let's face it... we all face grief. And sometimes it's better to face it together!
Enjoy!

The fact that racism exists is incomprehensible. The fact that it still is so widespread across the world is despicable and heartbreaking.
As two white girls, we were not sure the best way to speak out about this. But, by simply having a microphone and a small but loyal audience, we couldn't not.
So, we poured ourselves into education on the topic, and continue to do so. This is our best effort to share with you what we are learning and encourage all people, no matter what your skin color is, to use empathy to find unity in this fight for justice.
This wasn't available when we recorded, but we highly recommend Oprah's Conversation: "Where Do We Go From Here"

Yes. You can! Anxiety doesn't have to be chronic, and this boost proves it!

If there's one thing we've learned lately, it's that we actually can survive off of less to do. This episode, we explore how we can keep this lighter to-do list even after quarantine, and how it can help make us more successful and enrich our lives.
We cover all of the strange places we scroll instagram, a coke can success story, and yes, Ciara's (poorly attempted) rapping.
Go ahead, push play!

This episode gets right down to one of the dirtiest things we do as humans... throwin' shade! (aka, judging people when they don't deserve it)
This week we explore actionable steps to help you stop judging others when you shouldn't. We also make sure to cover the times when it is actually good to judge. We talk sleep divorces, giant chocolate, and the literal Witch who stole Ciara's job.

This week we are interviewing a variety of people who are self quarantined, each from a unique perspective... A pregnant mama, an immunocompromised friend, Ciara's essential husband, and Jessika's voice of the gods dad. We also have a first hand account of a mama who had to get both her and her daughter tested for COVID 19.
From dance parties to best quarantine guilty pleasures, this episode is a mix of the laughter and encouragement you need to get through days like these.
A special thanks to Jonathan, Sarah, Miranda, Jason, Brittany, and Niki for sharing your personal experiences in quarantine.

Warning: This episode gets HEAVY!
In this episode, Ciara gives us insight into her story, complete with raw vulnerability on her battle with depression. (Spoiler, it's a battle that's been won, and Ciara shares some of the ways she accomplished that.) If you've ever struggled with anxiety or depression, we hope this normalizes some of the things you've experienced.
We talk about playing make believe in your 20s, polka dots, and dragging a kid through the dirt by the ankles. It gets real... so buckle up!
