To let you know you’re not alone when you feel anxiety pulling at your heartstrings (and to talk about every other random thing that happens in life).

    Comparing Ourselves to Our Old Selves

    Comparing Ourselves to Our Old Selves

    In this week's episode, we chat about how we compare ourselves to our old selves. How easy it is to fall back into those habits that we think feel safe, comfortable, and familiar, when really A. there not invited anymore, and B. it can hold us back in so many ways.  We also chat about navigating through comparing ourselves to others, and if we focus on ourselves (easier said than done, we know) it's great to do your own thing and do you. Appreciate others’ work but love yourself for your ideas and who you are, because we think you're pretty great!

    OTG — Leaning Into Words and Taking Up Space

    In this episode, we’re on the go. Literally - OTG! This week, we invite you to experience a typical phone call or text conversation between your favorite GWA gals. Tessa with words and Heike with space.

    ***Side-note - Regretting You by Colleen Hoover is the book Tessa shared. But of course, in the truest OTG form,  she was cut off while driving those gorgeous Hawaiian roads. ***

    Resting & Celebrating

    In this episode of GWA, we discuss how important it is to take time for yourself during the holiday season and as the year comes to an end. To find ease, grace, and kindness for yourself and others during this time. To keep those boundaries strong when we feel obligated to attend all the holiday functions...here's a little secret, you don't have to go if you're not feeling up to it. Cheers to all for surviving another year we all deserve a round of applause! Remember to rest when you need it and to celebrate when you want! We will talk to you next year!

    Quigley Explains it All

    Quigley Explains it All

    In this episode of GWA, we had the lovely Quigley Goode on! She is a content creator, visual storyteller, educator, and founder of Soulcial Media, a wife, a mother,  a wearer of all hats. We covered all topics, you name it we talked about it. From anxiety and mental health to receiving positive and negative DM's on Instagram to being pregnant, giving birth, and finding your sex drive again. She might have even sung a little tune for us, you will just have to listen to find out. Quigley shared it all and we couldn't have been more grateful for having her own and lighting a fire under us to be our authentic selves. We hope you love this episode as much as we do and you get that little spark under you as well!

    Everything Will Work Out—Take a Step Back and Slowdown

    Everything Will Work Out—Take a Step Back and Slowdown

    In this episode of GWA,  Heike and Tessa talk about how easy it is to feel flustered when your plate is overflowing with to-dos.  When we put unwanted pressure on ourselves to get everything done all at once, but maybe just maybe if we step back and chill we can see that it's not the end of the world. Also, there is a discussion about how society and other people's opinions can start to trickle into our mindset and question our timeline. And you know what we say to that?! None of you're bleepin' business! Keep doing you and strutting down your own path, because in the end, everything will work out!

Daniel Whitechurch ,

Love this podcast!

Love the vulnerability and truth that Heike and Neg speak about in these episodes. This is the real stuff that we should all be more open and honest about in life. It’s beautiful!
