    This episode is exactly what it says it is - a little dive into the behind-the-scenes world that is fashion design. We start by talking about Nicole's experience with the first product from Skirt Sports that was not designed under her tutelage - the Freedom Sports Bra with Pocket - and then we go down the design rabbit hole from there. 
    We hit on the following and more!
    The fitting process: This is how we make magic happen - a range of bodies fit and test our products
    Patterns: learn the real lingo in the apparel world
    Timelines: 18 months minimum from start to finish

    55 - Why We Need to Talk About Money

    55 - Why We Need to Talk About Money

    Money has always been a taboo topic. Most of our decisions are made with money in mind, yet we don't feel comfortable talking about it with people outside our close-knit circles, usually just within our immediate families. Yet when we keep our money concerns private, it can create stress, insecurity and feelings of hopelessness. Our goal today is to crack open the door and encourage all of us to be more open about this previously secretive topic.
    Today we cover:
    Generational practices that have created this taboo around money & how we can change it for our kids
    Money management is a Practice
    Money is one of the biggest relationship stressors so learning to talk about it is so important
    How do we invest our money?
    Budgeting vs Reality

    54 - The Importance of Coaches - At All Ages & Stages of Life

    54 - The Importance of Coaches - At All Ages & Stages of Life

    Today we talk all about coaches. When we look back and think about the people who have played impactful roles in our lives, coaches always stand out. But at some point, after our youth athletic careers are over, most of us never work with coaches again. That's what we explore today including:
    Examples of great coaches in our lives
    The best coaches expect a lot from you - which in return teaches you to expect a lot from yourself
    Great coaches also transcend the sport or activity you do and train you to be a champion "on and off the field"
    Coaches exist in all areas of life, not just kids' sports
    Sometimes having a coach is the best way to hold yourself accountable to your goals
    & so much more!

    53 -New Year Inspired Life: The Power of Visualization

    Get ready to shut your eyes and go for a ride! Today your ride is a throwback to 1988 - you get to swim the 100 yard breaststroke with Nicole DeBoom! 
    The backstory: Sarah believes strongly that visualizing your success is one of the keys to achieving it. Whatever you believe is what will come true. But learning how to use visualization to get there takes practice. Today we do a deep dive into what it feels like to visualize a one minute athletic event. 
    But the message is this: once you learn how to practice visualization, you can transfer that skill to any aspect of your life.

    Welcome back to a very fun episode of the Yoga Pants Podcast. Today we talk all about happiness. Turns out it's pretty simple. You just need 4 things.

    Something to look forward to
    Some way to give back
    If you want to read more about Dan Buettner's research on this topic, check out The Blue Zones of Happiness. We certainly love this outlook and whenever things feel off, it makes it much easier to identify which of the 4 is missing. Attaining it is not as easy, but at least you have a starting point!

Love these ladies!

I’ve been a huge fan of Skirt Sports... first purchased item was a pink skirt race belt. I joined at the Boulder store for many events and shopping. It’s great to hear laughter from these to remarkable women! I’ve added you both to my list of “lunch with lovely ladies” including Carrie Underwood, Reese Witherspoon, Pink, Idina Menzel to name a few!!
