Whether in life or in business, there are seasons of quiet and there are seasons of busyness. When shit gets hectic, feelings of resentment start to build and burnout starts to loom closer and closer.

It’s #TheBestLife, not #TheBurntOut life, and we want to feel exited and refreshed to start our days. While life may not ever be perfect, there are a few tools we can use to deal with the stress and minimize feelings of burn ..read more

Have you ever felt that unnerving sense that life was good—almost too good—and like something bad was going to happen at any second? Maybe it’s leftover hyper-vigilance from traumatic events, or maybe you’ve been conditioned to believe you don’t deserve to be happy. Whatever the cause, always expecting loss isn’t going to help you prevent it from happening. Your fears might be holding you back, or worse, you may be manifesting those fears directly into your life! Life is going to have really great moments, and some really shitty ones, too. Might as well spend all your energy looking forward to ..read more

Hey, Breasties! —Er... Besties. We mean Besties. We have boobs on the brain because one of you wanted to know some more about implants: should you get them, should you not? Neither Jill nor Danny was blessed in the breast department, but only one of us has experience with implants. Getting your boobs done isn’t a simple decision and if you’re thinking about it, there’s a lot to think about first. There are positives and negatives to whatever you choose, but what matters most is to make sure you’re not getting implants just to put a bandaid on your deepest insecurities. To breast or not to bre ..read more

Hypergamy: it’s an old concept with a new (to us) name. Hypergamy is all about getting into relationships with a person of a higher economic or social status. We’ve all heard about this from period-pieces of the past, but it’s still a practice used by some women, even now. In hindsight it makes sense; women generally want to be taken care of, and the men with the most resources often have the best chance to “provide.” But this is the 1st century, and women don’t need men to be the bread-winners anymore. Is there a way to make the men in our lives take care of us, if not just financially? Marr ..read more

Menopause comes for all of us, whether we’re ready for it or not. We’re all about embracing getting older, but shit, it would be nice to at least feel good about our bodies as we age! Today we’re chatting with Integrative RD + Menopause Expert, Esther Blum, about her new book, “See You Later, Ovulator” and how to make menopause your bitch. For so long, women have faced medical gaslighting around our hormones and what happens in our bodies through peri-menopause and beyond. Fuck that! It’s time to be our own advocates and get our hormones in check. Being a woman over 50 doesn’t mean we have to ..read more

Our relationships with our bodies is complicated and try as we might not to care, we still get hits of insecurity from time to time. Bodies change, and not always in ways we’re thrilled about. So when your body is getting you down, what do you do? We are all so much more than the way we look, and instead of hating your body for what it does or doesn’t look like, it might be time to show it some gratitude for what it can do. Nothing is forever, so even if you’re feeling like shit now, pick up a paintbrush, go for a walk, or even just lean in to your “winter” body. Feeling like shit about body ..read more

As much as we all love being petty (and you know we’re good at it, too) there is something to be said about being the “bigger person.” While the un-evolved versions of ourselves might like pointing out when Brenda is acting like an idiot, that kind of negativity never brought out the best in anyone. Whether you realize it or not, people are looking to you to see how you act. Are you proud of the way you handle conflict? Do you respond to situations rather than react? Maybe it’s less “fun” tone the bigger person, but the way we show up in conflict matters. Are you obligated to be the “bigger p ..read more

There’s a ton of buzz going around about living a toxin-free life and (much like most things on the internet) it’s getting a little toxic. Yeah most things in this life are probably poison but my god, Brenda, can you just like chill for a sec? You probably aren’t going to die because your water isn’t perfectly filtered, or not everything you eat is organic, or your pants are a synthetic material, or—heaven forbid—you put on deodorant. It’s definitely for the best that we all pay attention to the things in, on, and around our bodies but it doesn’t help anyone to enforce non-toxic perfection thr ..read more

When shit hits the fan in life, we find ourselves scrambling for advice. But in a world where anyone can become an “Insta-therapist” there’s tons of conflicting advice online that can leave us more lost and confused than before. In these moments of confusion and vulnerability, we have to practice discernment and realize that what’s not for you is simply not for you. Instead, try focusing on simply taking care of yourself and tuning out all of the background noise. You got this! Not every piece of advice is for you! [6:09] Having discernment and self-awareness [8:17] Tune out the white noise ..read more

Breakups are hard enough already, losing a person you love is one of the most painful human experiences. There’s a lot grief to be fat and managed, but one of the unspoken difficulties of a breakup has nothing to do with losing your partner: it’s losing their family, too. We get close with our partner’s parents, siblings, nieces and nephews, and even children and when you lose that person you lose everything that comes with them. Sometimes those relationships can be maintained, and sometimes they can’t. Either way, things will unfold the way they do, and it’s up to us to trust the experience a ..read more
