The Good, The Bad & The Drinking: Recent Episodes
thegoodthebadandthedrinking
In this final episode of Season 3, we are talking about reality neutrality! And, we like to call it that because...reality is neutral, people! The only moment we have is the moment we’re in, and that moment has no motives but to become what we make of it! Which means: how we choose to respond to that moment, and what we choose to DO with it, is what will define our times as good times, or bad times...or, drinking times! Because, in reality, there is an entirely massive spectrum of emotions all going on within the same set of seconds! And, although we can't choose our reality, we can choose how we show up in it, how we define it for ourselves, and how we use our current moment to shape our future to come out the other side stronger...and, that’s what today’s episode is all about! So - cheers to today’s Season 3 send off, and, most importantly, cheers to this moment with have with YOU!!!
As a supplement to last week's episode, today, we're going to talk about the stuff we need to actually do, in order to get our business DONE! Which means...it's Time to Get Gritty, fam! As "grit" becomes a more popularized term in modern society, today's episode is going to break down what we really mean when we talk about living our lives with good, old fashioned GRIT! Because, grit is truly the behind the scenes work of persevering past what we think our own capabilities are, picking ourselves up after we fall and fail, and working our little a$$es off, day in and day out. Because - let's face it - we can't all be beautiful unicorns born with uniquely special talents, but we can ALL achieve success through getting a little more gritty and grimy in our lives! SO - cheers to the good of the grit, the bad of the grit, and (of course) the drink(s) that pair oh so perfectly with our grit ;)
Okay SO, today's episode is a little bit of a throwback to the Flight of the Conchords song, but, more than that, "It's Business Time", means it's time to shape up, step up, and start getting sht done. And, while many of our episodes in the past couple of months have been centered around our current climate (cough cough COVID), this episode is about how we move forward from here, and make our goals a reality. Because, as much as we'd all like it to, the coronavirus isn't going away yet, which means we have to learn to set new goals in this new normal. So - today's the day! We're taking off our sweatpants, putting on our big girl pants (even if they fit a little tighter than we'd like to admit), getting our sht together, and doing some damn business! Hit that play button if you're ready to move the F on with us, and let's CHEERS to finding and redefining our goals that CAN be achieved - even through COVID-19! And (P.S.) for those of you who aren't quite there yet - we feel you - and may you feel free to check out some of our previous episodes ;)
Today's episode is inspired by one of our favorite mentors, Kara Loewentheil, and her idea that A- work makes the world go round! Because, if we're always striving for the A (AKA perfection), we will inevitably stunt our own growth, for the plain fact that perfection isn't always attainable! And, as A students, and sisters who have definitely struggled with perfectionist brains, we want to lower it down to a B+ for us. In this episode, we are talking about how perfectionist ideals can paralyze our own growth and well being, and why it's OK to give yourself the grace to be okay with B work sometimes! It's the first Monday of a new month, and we're giving ourselves permission to F UP, because...Guess what? Sh*t HAPPENS, life has its ups and it's downs, and that's where we learn! And, this whole "give your 110%" thing, isn't actually humanly possible...SO...Cheers to acknowledging our humanness, recognizing that you are ENOUGH (in whatever way you can show up), and finding our best, B+ self that strives for progress, not perfection!
The idea behind today's episode is to Just Keep Swimming - because, lately, we've found ourselves singing these words to motivate us more often than not. Because, let's be real, when sh*t sucks, having Ellen DeGeneres' voice chanting this tune in your head, makes it just a little bit easier to do so! And, if you're by some chance not a Disney, Dory, OR Ellen fan, there are so many ways to say - just keep going. Because, when times are tough, it can be hard to feel like you're doing enough. But, in this episode, we are going to talk about - when we do get to that hard place - and feel overwhelmed with what to do next, how the reminder to just keep swimming, can allow us to keep moving forward - even if that's just one doggy paddle at a time! Because, in the end, progress equals progress, the little moves make the movement, and, change doesn't happen overnight! So, cheers to leaning in to this process towards progress, and learning that, even when forwards look backwards, we can hold on to knowing that these tough waters are also the perfect grounds for growth, and that we WILL rise with the tide, one day at a time!
Today, we are talking about something we like to call: The Humble Rumble. And, the humble rumble is really the internal struggle we often have when we are called to find our humility, but we resist doing so....Because, there is LOTS of rumbling going on in the world right now, and we think we could ALL use some humbling within it. During these difficult times, we have personally had to face new challenges in our relationships, as well as our restaurant, and, today, we want to talk about how we can be humbled through these rumbles, and come out the other side grown AF. Because, in all honesty, most of us could use a powerful push off of our pedestal of privilege, and a needed knock to our ego...because we all need that b**** to calm the F down anyways! So - in this episode, we are going to talk about how we can go about experiencing these humble rumbles in a way that leads us to lean in to gratitude for the privileges we do have, and therefore allow ourselves the opportunity to build empathy and understanding for our fellow humans who may be experiencing much worse. SO - here's a cheers to beginning again through humbling ourselves, and building up bigger and better from there!
Today, we're talking about: The Suckage. And, although we have said things about "the suck" before, we want to revisit it - as we, like many people, are feeling a lot of feels within our current moment...So, we like to think of suckage like baggage - you're always going to have it! But, in this episode, we want to talk about how we're going to choose to SHOW UP with our suitcase of suckage, and embrace the raw reality of what it means to be human - including the whole spectrum of sucky AND special seasons, spaces, and selves we will experience. Because, the reality is: sometimes, things just SUCK. And, sometimes, (brace yourself for this one), lemons just make sour lemon juice...And, while no one likes the sucky seasons, we also know that they are the same seasons where will shift our senses to new perspectives, allow ourselves to open new doors, and, overall, experience GROWTH. Because, when the going gets tough, the tough keeps growing. So - cheers to this roller coaster ride that we call life, finding peace in the pain, and discovering the message through going through the mess!
Today, we felt the need to press pause on our normal podcast, in order to speak about what's happening in our world. But, be forewarned: this episode is unlike any of our others, because there is nothing lighthearted about discussing the deep injustices affecting so many of our fellow humans. At this point in time, we recognize the need to be raw, truthful, and honest - and that's what this episode is about. Because, really, our world has come to: The Breaking Point. And, like many people, we too have the fear of saying something wrong, but it's come to the point where we can no longer stay silent. In this episode, we are talking about what has brought our world to explode in this way, what we can do to be the change, and ways to support our black brothers and sisters amidst this path towards progress. So - here's to recognizing our white privilege, having the tough conversations, seeing the things we don't want to see, waking up, speaking up, and standing up. As Maya Angelou says, "When you know better, do better." We can no longer hide in ignorance. Instead, let's lean in to learn, grow, and build a better world for our children. The time is now!
Today, we're talking about a sad and silly little thing called: The Shame Game. And, by that, we mean: the disheartening spread of shame towards community members, based off of their different approaches to life, amidst this pandemic period. (Boy that's a mouthful!) But, the truth? That can be summed up in one simple sentence! And, that is: there's a lot of differing information circling out there, people have their own uniquely distinct needs, and everyone's pandemic story will be just that: DIFFERENT! So, in today's episode, we're opening up the door to discovering what we can do better. Because, right now, we're continuing to hurt each other as human beings, when, the reality is, that right now...is the time we most need to build each other UP! So, get ready to talk out the bull shit, and drink up the good shit. Cheers to sharing our stories, being a part of a positive shift, and showing up for others the way we would want others to show up for US...plus a little well placed humor ;)
Today, we're talking about the things we can do to not only get through the hard times, but to grow through the hard times. And, for us...that means listening to a LOT of Beyoncé. But, as businesses are beginning to open up, we have seen a positive shift coming, and we could think of no better time to finally listen to the wise words of Queen B, and "upgrade ya!" Because, as the world around us experiences a sort of rebirth, why shouldn't we give ourselves permission to do the same? What if, this time around, we allowed ourselves to not only seek out to learn the things that advance our careers and businesses, but also allowed ourselves ALL the things that plainly and simply, just bring us JOY? In this episode, we're gonna ponder, discuss, and DRINK to just that! So - cheers to discovering, diversifying, and leaning into this opportunity to upgrade ya - for yourself, your family, and our world!
Today, we're talking about growing pains! And, if anyone remembers the show from the 80's with NOT Robin, but Alan Thicke...we see you...BUT, the growing pains we're talking about here are a little different. You know, those internally uncomfortable, physical body pains that you can't do much of anything about besides GROW through them? Yeah, those guys! In this episode, we're talking about the unexpected growing pains we've personally experienced throughout this pandemic, as well as ways we can USE that pain and resistance we went through, to emerge grown AF on the other side. Because, although we ALL want the easy button, growth is (sadly) not guaranteed by sitting back and relaxing with a glass of rosé. But, talking about growth as we sip? That's what we're here for! So here's a cheers to understanding our struggles as a process for growth, and leaning in to these emotional lessons we've learned about ourselves, our business, and who and what we want to become in this now normal!
Welcome to Season 3, sisters and brothers! While we could question who let us even record another season...we have bigger fish to fry right now! And, as we (hopefully) start to transition out of the COVID-19 quarantine in our state, we want to talk about what it may look like to come out, as well as what we’ve learned through this time being shut in. Including: restructuring through re-simplifying, seeking out ways to be more environmentally sustainable, and learning to just BE, in simplicity! So - buckle up for a breakdown of a meaningful message inspired by Marie Forleo: Simplify to Amplify. And - of course - CHEERS bitches!
Welcome to the good, the bad, and the crawling out of a ditch...because, we ain't dead YET! And, while last week was supposed to be our last episode of Season 2, we are rising from the dirt to dish out some send-off motivational shiz to get you through the rest of this pandemic period! Including, but not limited to: the fact that we get to LIVE in stretchy pants, the chance to take a break and just BE, and the opportunity to learn about yourself, your loved ones, and your overall LIFE in a different capacity. So cheers to you, cheers to Season 2, and cheers to growing through this humbling time in history, together!
Today, we're talking about CONTROL! And, frankly, our lack of it... Lately, things are feeling a little out of control, and - you may be left asking yourself: Who's running this shit show? While human nature is to get anxiety when you feel your life is out of control, this episode is here to teach us the tips to dealing with it. Because you. are. NOT. alone! Join us in talking about retraining our brains to give ourselves grace, accept this new normal, and start seeking joy in the small stuff! Because, even when the bars are closed, there is always SOMETHING to cheers about! The question is: how will you seek celebration out during this season of sheltering in place?
Okay, hold up...What the FORK is going on with the world right now?!
It's no secret that the world is under a lot of pressure at the moment, and today we're coming together to talk about what we can do with that pressure, how to adjust to this new normal, and where we can find a silver lining (and we don't mean the new grey hairs we've been blessed with just in the past day)! But seriously - we can never have enough support and information during this time, EVEN IF it's just someone to drink and swear with! So cheers to all being in this together, and, no matter how hard it gets - choosing love - choosing gratitude - and choosing community. Because, it's under the toughest amounts of pressure that we truly find how strong we are. Now...where did we leave our glasses again?!
We ain't sorry! In this episode, we're talking about the pressures and expectations that we, as humans, struggle with daily. We are NOT apologizing for who we are, what we want to be, and the fact that our laundry isn't folded. Embrace it, we ain't sorry!

In today's episode, we are talking about the good, and the bad, of why things exist! Including stories about garage door sensors, cancellation policies, and almond milk (which we would argue should really be called nut-juice)!...Ever wonder why these things exist? Well, today we're here to tell ya! And pair it with some bitching, unsolicited advice, and wine of course!
Today, we want to introduce you to our alter egos...Kutlin and Larosta (yes we named our alter and insecure, bitchy selves)! In this episode, we are talking all things ego, including insights from Eckart Tolle's book on the subject, A New Earth. Basically - we are learning why our ego is not our amigo, and what we can do to keep that b**** in check! Join us as we take the power back from our egos, and tap into our authentic selves!
In honor of Caitlin’s Mutha F*ckin birthday, we’re talking about age! We are pissed off that we’ve grown up in a society that has rejected that women actually get older because guess what? The older we get the better we get! In this episode, we’re talking about the good of getting older (there is SO much), the bad (aka the hangover struggle), our unsolicited advice and of course, drinking!
We have a confession… we fucking hate networking! Today we have a special guest Therese Shanks, lawyer, mother of two and founder of Project Rosie to talk about networking!

We are SO excited to be back for season 2! We’re kicking off season 2 and 2020 with a case of the Fuck Its and we think you should be too!

In this episode, we are redefining what professional means and getting professionally unprofessional! What the fuck does that mean you ask? Being professionally unprofessional means being your authentic self and connecting with people on a human level at your job. Being authentic can be looked at as unprofessional but we are challenging that idea! People want to know that you’re human and they want to be connected with on a human level this means looking and acting in ways that are authentic to you! We know, we know, there might be regulations in your profession that don’t let you dress or act exactly how you do outside of work but that doesn’t mean you can’t find ways to still be authentically you. If you are tired of losing your true self as soon as you step in the doors at work than listen up and get professionally unprofessional with us! Cheers bitches!
In this episode, we are talking about the hustle and grind! The hustle is the work you have to do to make your dreams come true and the grind is the daily hard work you put in.

Tune in for some truth bombs and tips for showing up even when it sucks and getting shit done, cheers bitches!
In this episode we are talking about the juggle struggle because let’s be honest, the struggle is REAL! The juggle struggle is the juggle between life, work, kids (if you have kids and your life isn’t a juggle struggle then you’re a fucking liar) and everything else that life throws at you. There are days that you juggle, days that you struggle and days that you are straight up just playing dodge ball because there are so many balls being thrown at you. Wherever you are at with the juggle struggle, we believe in talking about it and owning it because this is what real life looks like! Yes, we do mean that life isn’t one big highlight real of clean looking babies on social media because those people are going through the juggle struggle too!

Now let’s get real about the juggle struggle, cheers bitches!
In this episode, we’re getting unladylike and we’re not sorry about it! Gender standards are something put on us at birth but they are amplified when it comes to taking on a leadership role. In this episode, we are diving into how we take on both masculine and feminine traits and don’t have to stick to just one lane to be fucking bosses! It’s all about being your authentic self and embracing who you are no matter if you fit the traits that people believe you should have or not. With that being said, we are also dropping some truth bombs in this episode about what traits to embrace and what traits we need to wrangle in sometimes (let’s be honest, we all have them).

Today we are talking about Plan B (no, not the pill) and bashing Siri a bit while we do it! Life is about getting the job done and a lot of the time that means taking alternate routes we weren’t expecting. We all from time to time have these expectations that everything is going to be perfect and that doesn’t end up happening (surprise, surprise) but as perfect as you think things are going to go- you need to have a plan B. A plan B allows you to still get the job done and sometimes leads you down a path that benefits you even more. In this episode, we are going to go over how we use plan B ALL the time and why we love it so much as well as some tips for letting plan B work it’s magic for you (hint: lose the ego and accept that something may go wrong and that’s totally okay). Another tip? Playing the blame game is never going to solve the problem but we are giving you full permission to put all blame on that bitch Siri. Listen up because we are done playing the perfect act and are fully embracing plan B! Cheers, bitches!
In this episode we are talking Momtoring aka mom mentoring! Being a mom is one of the most amazing gifts in life but it is also hard as shit and it’s SO important that we keep it 100% real when it comes to talking motherhood. We touching on the expectations of being a mom because guess what? Motherhood is NOT perfect. We all had the expectations before kids that we were going to be these fit moms, making our own baby food with clean kids but the reality is you are basically working for hazmat now and wondering what sleep is. Maybe we can’t have clean kids and houses all the time but something we can do is be present, from rollie pollies to garbage trucks, kids find joy in the simplest things that can bring a whole new level of pure joy into our lives. We may all have different circumstances and opinions but we are also all dealing with the mom shit (most of the time literally) so stop being judgmental assholes to each other and enjoy this episode, cheers bitches!
P.S. we really need to know- what do you guys do with the loads of artwork?
We are coming to you this episode under the influence… of social media. Everyone who uses social media has been influenced by social media and if you say that you haven’t then you are either fucking lying or in denial. Social media has a lot of bad aspects but guess what? It’s not going away so we have to learn to deal. (Don’t worry we’ll help you) Social media also has amazing benefits like free marketing for your business and a way for you to connect with people you actually want to (hint hint if you don’t want to then DON’T). We know, we know, along with these benefits there are also a lot of shitty aspects of social media like haters, the rabbit hole, and new expectations. (like we need more of those) In this episode we are going to get honest help you navigate the world of social media, cheers bitches!
Raise your hand if you ever get salty!! (ALL of you bitches should be raising your hands) Let’s admit it, we ALL get salty, but that’s not a bad thing. In this episode we are getting real about getting salty! We are diving in to what it means to be salty, how being salty can make you a better leader and what being too salty looks like. Cheers bitches!
Today we are talking about teaming! Teams get shit done to achieve a common goal whether it be sports, work or home teaming is something that appears in every aspect of life and is SO important. Now, if you’re telling yourself right now “I’m just not a team person” know that this isn’t something that you’re just born with- it takes practice! We are going to share some stories about about when we weren’t the best at teaming and had to learn, as well as how to build and maintain a strong team and what to do when your team is feeling unbalanced. If doing life with no help sounds as crazy to you as it does to us (and let us emphasis, that shit sounds CRAZY) then this episode is for you! Cheers bitches!
