    S2E8 20 LESSONS FROM OUR 20s Pt2: 10 lessons for a more aligned 30s

    Let's take advantage of the courage and confidence in Aries season and reflect on 10 lessons to make our 30s the most aligned decade yet. Dannii takes the lead in this episode to share her biggest takeaways from her 20s and newly learned lessons in her early 30s to face this decade with more freedom and an expanded mindset. Her key points are: Not all relationships will grow in the same direction as you. Breakups (friendship, family, and romantic) will happen and that’s ok.  Healing looks different for everyone.  It’s ok to walk away - everything can’t be forever and there is power in accepting that.  Pain isn’t forever.  Begging for the bare minimum isn’t love  Self-love is the root of all love and trust  You repeat what you don’t repair  Quality over quantity Life isn’t linear  Take care of your health  If you enjoy our show, please leave us a five-star review, a comment, and share it on social media @letsbyobf on Instagram and Tiktok so it can reach more people who may benefit from our content. Looking forward to having you in the next episode, until then, every day is a great day to be your own best friend!

    S2E7 LOVE OUR BODY WHEN OUR BRAIN DOSEN'T FEEL LIKE IT

    BODY SHAPE IS NOT A TREND! That's pretty much the thesis of this episode. Do you work out to get a certain measurement or weight? Do you live by society's beauty standards? Do you identify as a certain size? Is your body your personality? Do you feel like running out of love and gratitude and viewing your body as the biggest enemy?   This candid and vulnerable discussion is inspired by Dieyun's recent episode of body dysmorphia, where unconsciously she attacked her body when feeling overwhelmed by a significant life challenge. We usually develop a toxic relationship with our body for conformity, comparison, and measurement, while the body alone doesn't present any pressing threat or danger to our survival. By gaining clarity on the trigger, body image is often a shield our ego uses to protect us from the real challenge, but this shield hurts us a lot more than it can heal.  Our intention is not persuasion, but just to add more perspectives on our conditioning around the body, beauty, and worth. Our brain doesn't always feel like loving us, but our heart and body have ALWAYS been on our side. By turning within, our body have been our best friend all along, and it has a lot of wisdom to share too.  If you enjoy our show, please leave us a five-star review, a comment, and share it on social media @letsbyobf on Instagram and Tiktok so it can reach more people who may benefit from our content.

    S2E6 20 LESSONS FROM OUR 20S Pt1: 10 lessons to make the most out of your 20s

    Happy Aries season everybody! Dannii and I are both Aries. In celebration of our birthday season, we are doing a 2-part series on the 20 lessons we've learned in our 20s for those who are journeying through with us. Wrapping up her third decade, Dieyun reflects on her aha moments in her 20s, especially for those who are still in their 20s to feel less alone and to take advantage of this decade of exploration. Her 10 lessons are: Write yourself that permission slip, and don’t outsource your power to others (to feel a certain way, to do that thing, etc) Nothing I experience is about me “I’ll be happy when….” is the greatest thief of joy Forgiveness is between me and me  Not knowing what you are “supposed” to do is the biggest sign that you are on the right path Rest is essential, and rest is more than sleep  Build a spiritual ecosystem to fuel your mind  Saying no = saying yes Commit to a series of micro habits that yield the most significant impact to your day  Stop trying to be happy  If you enjoy our show, please leave us a five-star review, a comment, and share it on social media @letsbyobf on Instagram and Tiktok so it can reach more people who may benefit from our content. Looking forward to having you in the next episode, until then, every day is a great day to be your own best friend!

    S2 E5 The Cost Of Friendship Pt.2 Balancing Personal Finance & Monetary Obligations in Friendship

    Weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, bachelorette, graduation, housewarming--adulting is filled with consumption, and often we are "volunteered" to spend a good chunk of money for our friends during these significant milestones. What are the logistical compromises you need to make to fulfill these engagements (cutting down vacation funds, stopping investing, cutting out dining funds, etc)? Have you ever forced yourself into doing one of these when you truly didn't want to spend the money and time at all?  Relationships involve both emotional and financial investments and commitments, and they can get REALLY expensive. We hope our conversation helps you gain awareness of your spending in relationships and find room to align your values in the material and emotional realms together.  If you enjoy our show, please leave us a five-star review, a comment, and share it on social media @letsbyobf on Instagram and Tiktok so it can reach more people who may benefit from our content.

    S2 E4 Solo Money Date with Dieyun--Everything We Should (and mostly don't) Talk About Money

    Let's talk about money honey! Are you scared of money because you've always been told that it's hard to make? Do you hate money because it's "filthy?" Do you enjoy money's company? Starting from reflecting upon some common limiting beliefs surrounding money, Dieyun chats about how she released the old beliefs that inspired her to take more aligned actions to take care of, enjoy, and attract more money and feeling of abundance in life. Topics covered in this episode includes: Limiting beliefs about money from our upbringing: wealth should be hidden, and making money isn’t supposed to be easy; Money is neutral, money is not worth Money mindsets we love: treating money as a lover and a friend. Does money like my company? What can I do to be a better friend to money? Out of all the people in the world, why would money want to come to me? Money care: Tithing; Monthly audit and allow my earnings tell a story; Investment; Thank you receipts Books and resources we recommend: How to get good with money Tiffany Aliche; The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel; A random walk down wall street Burton Gordon Malkiel; Fiscal Femme by Ashley Feinstein Gerstley We hope this conversation has bought more clarity, inspiration, and courage to your wholesome journey.

    S2 E3 Be Your Own Valentine--Making Peace with Self Love Embodiment and Love FOMO this FABruary

    "Is it ANOTHER Valentines Day I'm spending alone?" "What should I get for my partner for VDay?" "I.....kinda just need some space for myself" After "cuffing season," it's the New Year Resolutions episode then the "love-is-in-the-air" February. No matter if you are a single Pringles or someone in a relationship, self-love is always a constant lesson for us to learn. Social media and advertisements tend to commercialize and glamorize self-care. After loads of money spent on luxury skincare tools and whatever products out there, self-love all goes back to the essence of loving the parts of us that we wish didn't exist.  For those who are single, it's easy to fantasize about having a partner to relieve the burden; and for those coupled up, there's that challenge of carving out personal space and not losing the individual identity as we grow together. Let's use the month of love to take ownership of our own fabulousness and talents, and embody the lover we truly deserve.  Please join our BYOV (Be Your Own Valentine) 7-day challenge where we take 7 small steps to build up a more consistent, aligned self-love romantic practice.  Day 1 Write yourself a love letter Day 2 Move your body  Day 3 Add a small, daily luxury to your environment Day 4 Find a casual magic  Day 5 Take yourself on a solo date Day 6 Try something new Day 7 Intuitive cooking Day 8 Valentine's Day: Read yourself the love letter  Wanna be besties–connect with us @byobf on Tiktok and Instagram and DM us your questions, thoughts, and suggestions for things you want to hear us discuss.
