    #43 Friendship State of the Union Address

    #43 Friendship State of the Union Address

    Making awesome moments with friends can totally recharge you for a while. We spend a lot of time checking in with our partners or kids about how things are going in the relationships, but how often do we do this with our friendships? Think about doing an annual friendship audit - you might be surprised at what you learn! Think of it as the state of the union of your friendship - where are we right now and where do we want to go?
    We will discuss:
    Are we being intentional on who is in our circle?
    Who are your top 1-2 friends and have you ever analyzed the state of your friendship?
    Are you holding back in your friendships for fear of the other person not being able to handle it or that you might be a burden to them?
    And more!

    #41 What’s Your Why with Elise Enriquez

    #41 What’s Your Why with Elise Enriquez

    Have you ever tried to think about what your purpose is in life, only to be completely blocked because you are still in the weeds with all of it? Maybe looking at your life as a whole is just too overwhelming and you need to take it a day at a time. That’s what we are talking about today with our first ever repeat guest, Elise Enriquez! Elise is an awesome productivity coach who goes beyond just setting goals and putting tasks in place. She also happens to be our coach! You can check out Elise’s previous appearance on episode 14 - “New Year, New Productivity.”
     
    You will hear:
    An overview of Elise’s program, GYST (Get Your Shit Together) and how it can impact your productivity
    If what you are doing isn’t serving your purpose, is it the best use of your time?
    Can your “why” shift, or is it how we approach it that shifts?
    The power of a shitty first draft of your why statement
    And so much more!




    Guest Info:
    Elise Enriquez helps self-aware leaders, entrepreneurs, and multi-hat wearers develop a clear purpose that people will rally around and the systems to make things happen so that everyone can achieve their goals and dreams together. She specializes in working with people to reduce their overwhelm and anxiety while creating sustainable success and fulfillment in their lives and business.   Elise works with people to get clear on how they’re wired, build acceptance of that awareness and use that information to move them forward; to uncover their purpose and formulate a powerful statement that will help them attract the people and opportunities they need to bring their purpose to life in all that they do; and create systems that help them empty their minds, make progress on their top priorities, and free up their creativity so they can dream up what’s next and solve their biggest problems.

    #40 Welcome to the No Phone Zone

    #40 Welcome to the No Phone Zone

    How many times throughout the day do you find yourself reaching for your phone, tablet, or computer to check what’s happening on social media? We’ve recently realized that the answer is “far too many.” Sometimes it can be really fun to see what people are up to, but it can also lead to FOMO, jealousy, or just plain sadness that you aren’t doing whatever someone else might be doing. According to a poll Molly found, the average person looks at their phone 80 times a day.
    We talk about:
    Being more intentional with your time and phone usage (checking in at specific times rather than all day)
    Setting up a No Phone Zone for the entire household after a certain time to focus on connecting with one another
    Tips and tricks for focusing on your phone less
    And more!

    #39 Grin and Bear It…or Maybe Don’t

    #39 Grin and Bear It…or Maybe Don’t

    **TRIGGER WARNING: There is talk about suicidal ideation, so if that is going to harm you, please skip this one or skip to the middle of the episode.
     
    Hey to our 80 million listeners! This episode, we are bringing back the Ask Us Anything segment and get personal with our best and worst experiences with a therapist. Mari’s is wild and Molly’s is terrifying! It’s always in your best interest to make sure that you and your therapist are vibing in a healthy way. 
    We have been brought up by previous generations that we are meant to girn and bear it, whatever it may be. But how often in life are we holding ourselves back when we could get what we want because we are grinning and bearing it.
    You will hear:
    How we are making life harder for ourselves
    Check in with yourself to see how you are feeling and if you need to remove yourself from the situation
    Understanding that not everyone is going to be happy when you make the change - and that’s ok.
    And more!

    #38 Self-Care BINGO for the Win-O

    #38 Self-Care BINGO for the Win-O

    Are you taking the time to check in with yourself and make sure that you are taking good care of you? This episode, we are talking about an activity that we have done with our college pals in the past to make sure we are actively seeking self-care opportunities. We talked in a previous episode about the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and we have found that the self-care BINGO card is a perfect blend of the two - you get the good feels from doing something you like to do with the external motivation of others recognizing your achievement. Wellness doesn’t have to be a grind - it can be fun! So make a game of it and reward yourself along the way.

Hilarious and thought-provoking!

Molly and Mari have an easy rapport and draw listeners into it quickly, so you feel like you are a longtime member of their circle of friends. They are vulnerable, honest and real in their conversations, acknowledging and exploring the tough times and celebrating and being present in the good times. There are a couple episodes I’ve listened to multiple times, as there was great discussion and so many gems to ruminate on. Love this podcast so much and look forward to it every week! Thank you, Molly and Mari, for sharing yourselves and your insights with us all!
