40 North Podcast Joe & Tara

Covid had us feeling like Rocky Balboa in the ninth round against Apollo Creed.  It was a slight derailment, but after scraping our sad selves off the ground we decided it would be good to get life back on track and resume our little podcast.  Welcome back to random conversations about things that are relevant.
 

If you haven't heard of it you're probably feeling it.  Pandemic fatigue.  It's a real thing.  But, there is apparently a whole lot more going on.  We need a professional for this one.  Anxiety, body/mind connection, defense mechanisms, coping, treating, therapy and more.   Grab a notebook friends!
 

 
Buckle up for this as Joe & Tara navigate some of the ridiculously unimportant issues at hand.  None more so than deciding what to do with $850 million dollars, Joe’s grievances with Comcast, Peacock & Walt Disney World, a love affair with Netflix, difficulties with getting dressed to go out, lingerie and soft pants, Aids & COVID Testing, reliving Karate Kid through Cobra Kai, the future of movie theaters and finding a new streaming platform.

 

 
Only forty percent of Americans make New Year resolutions. But why?
Is it in part because we are still calling them resolutions? Sure they are cliché and rarely followed through on, but are we missing the bigger picture here? Could New Year resolutions truly offer us an opportunity to reset? Is January 1st the annual re-occurring calendar event that helps us focus on making change?
This episode discusses the rarely dug into topic of resolutions. Join Joe & Tara as they pass along what was shared with them and changed their perspective on resolutions, fueling this important episode. You may be surprised to learn resolutions are not as trivial as thought, there is a deep-rooted history and science behind them.
We all have areas in our life we can improve upon. The hope is you see the opportunities making resolutions can bring, and the positive that can come from change. Use this episode as your springboard. Challenge yourself in an area you have been wanting change in. Perhaps, listen with a friend, significant other or loved one and use each other as a support system.
Do not allow past failure to dictate how you will take on this new year!

Boys vs. Girls.  Men vs. Women.  Is one sex more important than the other?
For many years men have ruled the world.  But were the women silently behind the scenes orchestrating their success?
As the tide turns on gender inequality, women are being recognized for all they contribute in the workplace and at  home.  But is that enough to truly erase the stereotypes.
At a time when talking about gender seems like a bad idea, Joe & Tara dive into this topic head first.  Join as they candidly talk about some of the questions they have about gender and what it means in this day and age, discuss stereotypes and debate the roles each take on.
It doesn't take long to figure out which sex rules, but the journey is worth the listen.
