Despite what several grumpy old folks and Nerissia thinks, Social media isn't just filled with headaches, opinionated individuals with medical degrees from Facebook, and people vying for attention. When used correctly, Social media can be a powerful tool of awareness to some of the injustice going on worlds away and or right under your nose. In this episode of SisChat, we highlight some of the trending hashtags we've come across, what they mean, and how you can start getting involved.

We all love to claim that we can do multiple things at the same time. Multi-tasking is one of the most sought after skills in the working world. But is it something that we can actually do? And if we can, is it effective in us being as productive as we possibly can? In this episode of SisChat, we break down a few truths we found about one of the most important “soft skills out there” and why experts urge us to move away from the trend. If you want more information, do what we did and utilize the internet, our sources (attached below), and insight from professionals with 25+ years of experience is only one click away.

One vote, two vote, red vote, blue vote…. Could it be, as many theorized, that the famous Dr. Seuss piece was an expertly veiled commentary on our election system? No, no it's not. We made that up. But his famous story is about accepting differences and as we get closer to voting day here in the U.S. of A, we here at SisChat realize that there are many different reasons why people take to the poles. Today we discuss briefly about two of those issues that citizens are concerned with and what each candidate's stance is on the subjects.

Contrary to our deepest wishes and our reliance on arbitrary set timelines, the world will not reset on December 31st, 2020 on the eleventh hour, at the fifty-ninth minute, on the fifty-ninth second. What we're experiencing will have a lasting impact on humanity for years to come. What does that mean? Ask the experts; we don't know. But what that means for us is, we gotta do what we gotta do. In today's episode, we talk about what we are doing in this new normal to make our lives work for us. Relax, it's nothing monumental and we're not telling you what you should be doing... leave that to the experts. This is a chat between two sisters about their next steps and celebrating the little wins from time to time.

They say money makes the world go round... I think gravity should get a little bit more credit here as well, but I see their point. In today's episode, we have a little chat about our finances in the times of the virus and the different approaches we've taken to handling the vast fortune we get from working 8 hours days and being employed part-time and then losing that job. As you can clearly read, we're swimming in excess cash. Don’t worry, we don’t get preachy about savings and reaching your fullest potential with your money, we simply talk about how we handle things.
Fact check: In the episode, Vanessa mentions that in 2017, she bought the Apple shares at $55/share. She misspoke. She meant to say she purchased them at $155/share.
