The Bella Femme Podcast

Each episode is a chat about the things that join us together as women and humans on this earth and make you go “whoa, I thought I was the only one”, but then you find out you’re not the only one and you feel relieved. We share stories, interview real extraordinary people, laugh, become inspired, and give permission to fail. It’s those real, raw, vulnerable conversations that let us know that we're not alone in having so many questions about life, sustainable living, beauty, fashion, slow living, and about being a woman.

    Body Positivity in the 2024 Summer Olympics (Season Two Finale!)

    In this final episode of season two, we're loving the body positivity at the 2024 Summer Olympics! Amber and Emily chat about some of the inspiring stories of female athletes, from weightlifters to cyclists, to track and field athletes... these athletes have shattered stereotypes and paved the way for a more inclusive and accepting sporting culture. We'll share some of our favorite moments from the Games, highlighting the incredible achievements and powerful messages of these strong women. *Record Scratch* We also have to talk about the ongoing inequality in the perception towards female athletes, like the double standards they face.

    Can We Overcome Burnout Together? Lessons from Our Community Gathering

    Our recent Bella Femme Picnic fundraiser brought people together, offering support, laughter, and a much-needed escape from everyday stresses. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and forget to take care of ourselves. That’s why events like this are so important. They remind us to prioritize our mental health, connect with others, and find joy in the simple things. BUT There's no denying we're experiencing a little burnout. Would we be crazy if we wanted to go back to the slowness of life during lockdown? What can we do to remind ourselves to treat our community as precious *right now* instead of having it taken away and *then* missing it? How can we connect through small (and big!) ways to make life -- and achieving our dreams -- a little easier on everyone? --- Find Us On the web: ⁠⁠https://www.twiceisniceshoppe.com/⁠⁠ On Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/twiceisniceshoppe?fbclid=IwAR1wrJJlQ9PoydVhf_45kt0KGdrnExpz2CQ4e6VMtmRcf74SknOafnAXb-I⁠⁠ On Facebook: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/twiceisniceconsignmentboutique⁠⁠ On TiKTok: ⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@twiceisniceshoppe⁠⁠ On YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz4e11JwZAMk6Uykqupwpjg⁠

    What's Up With Swedish Death Cleaning? How To not F*ck Up After You're Gone

    Trigger warning: This episode deals with death and dying. Please take care. So, the other day Amber had an encounter with a woman who was cleaning out her Mother In Law's stuff. In the past few years she has had to deal with too many deaths in her family. Her advice for doing the right thing when facing grief?! "Get your shit together so this doesn't happen to you". Swedish Death Cleaning is on our minds and -as it turns out - we don't know squat about this process and our collective shit is absolutely NOT together. Join us on this wild ride where we talk about consumption, appreciation, and burden of all that STUFF. --- Find Us On the web: ⁠⁠https://www.twiceisniceshoppe.com/⁠⁠ On Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/twiceisniceshoppe?fbclid=IwAR1wrJJlQ9PoydVhf_45kt0KGdrnExpz2CQ4e6VMtmRcf74SknOafnAXb-I⁠⁠ On Facebook: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/twiceisniceconsignmentboutique⁠⁠ On TiKTok: ⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@twiceisniceshoppe⁠⁠ On YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz4e11JwZAMk6Uykqupwpjg⁠
