We have been busy getting our ducks in a row so we could be where we needed to be in order to share this next chapter of our journeys with you.
Carissa is officially divorced, and we talk custody schedule and real heavy mom feelings. We talk about how she ended up where she found herself, and how she has learned to help herself.
Shelby gives us a quick update on what she has been up to, and we talk about consistency, especially when it comes to meditation and self care routines. You know we can't talk about meditation without sharing our favorite resource Headspace. We had our first fight, and dish about the deets and insight as we navigate new heights of our relationship.

Listen up folks, come for a conversation about morning routines, stay for a conversation about neuroscience and shame. We were asked by a listener about our morning routines and we are stoked to share because both of us feel like a consistent morning routine that intentionally connects you to yourself and your body was one of the most impactful tools that is part of our own healing journeys.
In this conversation both Shelby and Carissa talk through how to structure a routine, the important elements, and the effect that it has had. We share ideas of what has been helpful and encourage you to create your own if you don't already have one. We also touch on the importance of rest, breath work, and self talk.
You'll hear us reference Headspace the meditation app and a super rad and impactful book by Louise Hay called You Can Heal Your Life.
