Playing The Hand You're Dealt Jai and Jennell

Episode 52: Jai and I started brainstorming about podcast names and topic ideas in late 2020. In January 2021, we released our first episode and set a goal to release a total of 52 podcast episodes this year.

WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED THAT GOAL! Though it was quite an overwhelming goal in the beginning, we've made it to the finish line.  This episode is very special to us because it signifies the commitment, the new skills we've learned, and the hard work we put in to get to this point. Not all episodes were good, but we were still consistent and growing after each week.

We increased our personal value, our professional value and overall just had a lot of fun. Listen in to hear about the things we've learned through 1 year of podcasting.

Episode 51: 2021 has been an intense year, to say the least. Lots of laughs, cries, and all the other emotions you can think of.



In this week's episode, Jai and I reflect on the triumphs we went through this year. 

Episode 50: Hi! Jennell here. In this weeks episode, we talk about the long-awaited powerlifting competition that Jai has mentioned countless times in previous episodes. 

He competes alongside his best bud and number one fan to our podcast, Brennan! He joins us in this episode as I interview him and Jai about their experience through the 2021 USPA AV Desert Wars. 

Competing in a fitness competition is no easy task. We discuss their entire journey starting from why they even decided to join this specific meet. They tell us about the different strategies they use to ensure they perform their best. They share it all from the good and not-so-good. 

PR’s were hit, lots of pounds were lost, and mistakes we made, but lessons were learned. 

Dive into the episode with us to hear all about how the journey of their very first powerlifting competition went!

Episode 49: Jennell here! I've been out for almost two weeks because I got sick and tested positive for COVID which forced me to quarantine. That's okay because it gave Jai the inspiration for this episode!

With me getting sick, it reminded him of when he had COVID back in August of 2020 and his time during quarantine. When you're by yourself during quarantine, you get lost in a lot of self-thought and you have no choice but to reflect inward.  

Listen in as Jai shares 6 new perspectives of what he learned during and after being sick.

Episode 48: Bullet journaling is a method of personal organization that was created by Ryder Carrol. For Jai and I, it has shaped our lives completely. It has been 1 year since we've both implemented the bullet journal into our everyday lives.

Bullet journaling is a safe space for us to document our lives in a small dotted notebook. It allows us to be productive through our weekly to-do lists, understand ourselves through the daily habits and moods we track and remind us of all the important things we need to remember through our future logs and much more.

Your life is worth taking the time to confine and create a structure for yourself. We highly recommend trying it with bullet journaling! Listen in to this episode to hear our overall reflection and the different methods we have tried throughout the year.
