Real Life Updates Pt. 2 - Careers and Seasons of Singleness

Ever feel like you just need to pause and figure out where you’re at in life? Us too. So today we are sitting down and revealing a little bit about what is going on in our lives behind the podcast. Kicking it off, McKenna dives into the struggles of grad school and what it is really like for psychology majors post grad (Hint: It’s not glamorous in any form of the word). Tiffani talks about updates on her career and how she is pushing towards digital marketing on a bigger platform. She explains the anxiety that led to her decision and how she is now feeling about doing more freelance work.

After discussing our career updates, we give a truer than true update on how we feel about seasons of singleness. It’s the hot tea everyone has been waiting for, so what do we have to say? Each of us talk about our own ideas of what it’s like to be single right now and how others in our lives have treated us about not being in a relationship. Overall, we’re bringing you along for one of our late night chats so grab a cup of coffee and press play!

How To Process Your Emotions (with Minor Breakdowns)

How do we process our emotions with minor breakdowns? We don’t. Just kidding. Our audience wanted to know, so we’re answering to the best of our ability! In this episode we are breaking down (only sort of literally) on the ways that we process our emotions without having a complete mental breakdown and having it affect your busy life.

At one point, it will get easier and you’ll find the appropriate time if and when you decide to process. Processing your emotions comes within time, but ultimately it develops as a muscle and you’ll hopefully be able to breakdown a little less!

Press play if you're looking to handle your emotions a little better!

2020 Themes & Why New Year Resolutions Don't Work

In our first episode back for season two, we are exposing the unrealistic expectations that are New Year’s resolutions. New Year’s resolutions come down to one common theme: “there's a lot of talk but NO plan.” Because of our distaste of these resolutions, we had to go out searching for something that would ignite our fire for 2020 but also keep us accountable. Thus, the Lavendaire “Artist of Life” Workbook.

Each of us discuss our mindset of what we plan to do if some of our goals fall through the cracks whether that’s knowing that every day is a new start or learning from the mistakes we have made. Either way, we’re ready to bounce back and make it a year neither of us could forget! 2020 we’re ready for you!

"Am I Ready for Therapy?"

Most people barely get to the phone to schedule an appointment, let alone to their actual appointment. The process can be daunting, so this episode gives you a real look into what the process and logistics of finding a therapist.
