What's up, BB's! This week we're answering the age old question: what does a consultant do all day? Join us in this special podcast episode as we reflect on our two years of consulting experience. We're offering a ~super~ candid glimpse into our personal and professional growth journeys. The past two years have flown by, and we're lucky to have each other as workplace buddies, but that's not to say that we haven't hit bumps in the road, whether it's dealing with imposter syndrome, receiving feedback, or working with tough clients.

Have you ever thought of why your circle of friends may be shrinking as you become older? It may be that you’re starting to prioritize quality over quantity, but it could also be that long distance friendships can be tough to maintain, and your 9-5 jobs get in the way of making new friends. No matter the culprit, this week we’re talking about friendships - maintaining them, seeking out new people to befriend, and even ending friendships F O L L O W U S H E R E Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/y65a7x8b Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/2p8a6nxx Instagram: instagram.com/the.bbs.podcast

Hey BB’s! This week we’re talking all things glow up, puberty, and awkward adolescent stage related. Although both of us went through puberty almost a decade ago, the memories and struggles are all still super real to us.

Get that dough, BB’s! We are starting a new mini series all about the moola. In no way are we experts, but we wanted to share some of our thoughts about personal finance and money management. In our first segment, we’re talking about impulse spending and shopping. Have you ever thought about your spending behaviors? Do you love it or hate it? Maybe you “treat yoself” too much and it’s actually your impulse and emotions that drive your shopping habits.
We hope you enjoy the first part of these mini series, and let us know what money topics you’d like us to cover!

Jokes aside, turning 25 is somewhat of a biggie because you’re in the awkward stage of your mid-20s, you are closer to 30 than you are to 20, and there is no longer a set timeline for you to follow.
