WINE am I like this?!

On todays episode we are a sad to say it will be our last for now. This podcast has served as therapy for the both of us and we have both grown so much within this space. We have learned so much about each other and have become best friends in this process. There may be a time when we revisit the podcast and start it up again, but for now we say goodbye and we hope you had as much fun listening to us as we did while creating this gem. We love you guys!

In today's episode, we’re talking about ghosting, not with dating, but within friendships. We tap about how it can hurt when you make plans with a friend, and then when the day comes, the person ignores you. It makes us feel unpopular or unliked in our own lives. We would like to be in a place where we can confront the person and tell them, “Hey, you hurt my feelings when you ignored me all day when we were supposed to hang out.” But of course, that’s hard! We love when friends talk time to cancel. That is a valid reason to bail on plans. Both of us have our faults as well. Martha overpromises and over schedules, and Margaret double books. These are things we are actively working on within ourselves.

On todays episode we unfortunately had to record separately. Martha has a bad cold. We believe it’s due to her pretending to be 21 again and not 31. Too much travel and drinking. She has decided to do a total reset starting Monday and we love that. This week is short and sweet while we talk about our fundates and our general well being. Martha talks about her friends bachelorette party she attended and how she changed someone’s life by becoming a drunken psychic once again. Which we love. Margaret talks about how she is finally finding happiness at home and how much piece that is bringing her. She had a meeting with a very intuitive friend who told her she was simply glowing! Which we also love. Let us know if you have any episode suggestions for us by emailing us at wineamilikeythis@gmail.com or you can dm us @wineamilikethis on instagram.

On todays episode we’re continuing our discussion on abortion. This week we talk more about the state side of abortion and what different states are doing. There are currently only six states that have zero laws on abortion. Far more less than we thought. We found out that the heart beat bill was introduced all the way back in 2013! The bill however did not pass thanks to Roe V. Wade. Texas and Oklahoma currently have the most strict abortion laws with strictly no abortions after 6 weeks. There are way too many states in our opinions with laws already in place stating that if Roe gets overturned, abortion will become completely illegal. We learned many terrible things researching this topic and we also talk about how insane it is that people are also getting arrested and losing their licenses and fined for helping people who need abortions. Let’s all remember that overturning Roe v. Wade will not stop abortions it’ll only stop safe abortions. Also the government does not care about you or your babies. Please get out and vote!

On todays episode we’re talking the most recent terrible things that are going on in this country with abortion. We begin by giving a brief description of Roe Wade and Planned Parenthood V Casey. If you don’t know there has been a recent leak in the Supreme Court where they may overturn Roe v wade. This is a very scary slippery slope for human rights in America. We’ve seen time and time again around the world where abortion was banned and it doesn’t work. Abortions will happen whether they are legal or not. If they are illegal they will become extremely unsafe. It’s not about the unborn child, it’s about controlling women. You cannot be pro life without thinking of the life of the mother that could die from having her child. You cannot be pro life without caring about the rape victim. You cannot be pro life without caring about both lives. If you do not have a uterus you have no right to make these decisions. Someone else’s body is not your business. This episode will be a two parter because we have so much more to say on this topic.

On todays episode we’re talking about airport etiquette! We recently were trapped in the Austin airport for 6 hours due to bad weather, so we thought why not talk about all of our bad airport experiences. Martha has been trapped in the airport multiple times for hours while Margaret has had better luck. Maybe Martha has bad plane energy? We also talk about treating the airport staff with respect. Remember, they have zero control over plane cancellations and flight delays and they’re only doing the best they can. If you treat them with kindness you often end up getting more anyways. Be kind to your flight attendants and customer service agents when you fly!

We’re talking about Oregon summer in today's episode because we cannot wait! Oregon summer is the best! We're excited about camping, hiking, road trips, and going to the nude beach! We also love to invest in paddleboards to explore the Oregon rivers and lakes better also! Something else we both want to strive for is doing more solo things. Martha has a couple of months off this summer finally. So she will be forced to do solo activities. With Margaret living by the mountain, she plans on spending some mornings with her paddleboard at any of the lakes the mountain has to offer. We’ve had an extremely long winter considering we just had SPRING snow! So we are ready and here for Oregon summer!

On todays episode We’re talking about the 75 soft challenge vs. the 75 hard challenge. The soft challenge consists of eating well, working out 6 days with 1 active rest day whatever that looks like for you, drinking 3 liters of water, reading or journaling everyday, only drinking on social occasions. Martha has already started the challenge and Margaret plans on beginning Monday. We both are taking a hard much needed break from alcohol. With taking the soft challenge it allows you to change gradually where as with the hard challenge you’re doing a lot of restricting making it much harder to continue with the lifestyle change after the challenge. We’re hoping this challenge will make some big changes in our lives towards our happiness and we urge you to join us! We also mention a supplement Margaret is going to start taking called feel free. The creator used it to get off alcohol and it’s completely plant based product and you can find out more about this product by listening to this episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-skinny-confidential-him-her-podcast/id1093028505?i=1000551748559 Let us know if you have any episode suggestions for us by emailing us at wineamilikeythis@gmail.com or you can dm us @wineamilikethis on instagram.

In today's episode, Margaret came up with this topic while listening to one of her favorite podcasts, Don't Keep Your Day Job. Pete Holmes said: "are you doing what you love, or are you doing what society tells you you should be doing" this quote brings up many emotions. Margaret hears this quote and thinks of all the people around her age that have "valuable jobs" that they went to school for and that somehow their job is more important than hers even though she would be downright miserable doing those jobs. Martha always goes back to being an immigrant, and the idea that's been ingrained in her brain is that she has to be constantly producing to be valuable. Society will tell us every day that we are never good enough, and we will never reach the goal of being good enough or doing enough, thanks to capitalism. So remember to take the time to do what makes you happy instead of always doing what society tells you to do, even if money is not attached to it.

In today's episode, we looked up a list of top 2005 r&b songs on Apple Music, and we picked our favorites. The songs that ran our lives at the time; warning: we are "singing" in this episode. Is it bad? Probably. But we love it. We've got a lot of people on this list like Kanye West Bow Wow, Usher, Mario, Pretty Ricky and of course, Missy Elliott. We also share the cringe outfits we used to wear, like Margaret with her sweatbands and bracelets. We also share the cringe people we used to be, like Martha trying to dance a hip-hop routine for a talent show. Join us on this nostalgic blast from the past, where we go through some of our favorite songs that shaped our childhoods.

In today's episode, we are talking about the spring equinox. It refers to the greek goddess Ostara. She's a lunar goddess representing earth moving forward and growing. Also, we reflect on the areas we have lived through, such as Margaret losing her mom and Martha developing into her career. We are proud of this little podcast. We have goals for this coming season. Margaret wants to exercise daily and stretch and do the splits! Martha wants to be more present with her body and focus on cooking. We're excited for this next season of our lives, and cheers to healing and growing!

In today's episode, we talk about our 20s and how we used to act. We talk about FOMO (fear of missing out) and how we felt like we constantly needed to be entertained by countless amounts of friends. We didn't know how to be by ourselves or be happy alone without feeling lonely. We talk about this idea of needing to be popular, which we have school to blame for. We feel like we need to do stuff to be "cool constantly." We're not like that anymore. Now we're happy being focused on ourselves, manifesting and getting in touch with our spiritual selves. However, we still know how to have fun! We also talk about some crazy things we did in our 20s, like climbing buildings and going over to strangers' houses. We're grateful we're still alive and pretty excited about our thirties. Thirty and flirty and thriving!

On todays episode we are talking about Martha’s problem! We typically talk about my issues, but today I came over and I asked Martha what is something that’s weighing heavy on her shoulders? She has a constant need to be perfect at everything. Which we all know is impossible. I’ve given Martha a challenge to log every single minute she spends working so we can see how much time she gives to her life and we’re both here for the challenge! This need to be perfect is so unobtainable because you go around trying to please everyone which will not please see other person so it’s a vicious never ending circle. A big problem we’ve noticed is there’s not enough people saying they’re proud of you for doing simple tasks. Like “ I’m proud of you for getting out of bed today” or I’m proud of you for eating today”. The world could be a lot nicer if we could all be here and be present a little more with the people in our lives so they know they matter. Martha feels like her need to be perfect stems a lot from being an immigrant. She came into this country at a very young age and  this change everything for her and her family. Working hard was a way of life not a choice. We’ve come to the conclusion that this whole perfection mess takes up so much energy and a lot of it does come back to work so I’m really excited to see where this work challenge leads her and this summer she doesn’t work! So we’re here for it! Let us know if you have any episode suggestions for us by emailing us at wineamilikeythis@gmail.com or you can dm us @wineamilikethis on instagram.

In today’s episode, we talk about adulting and how much we hate it. 10/10 would not recommend. We’re tired of all the tasks we have to do and all the trauma we as millennials have had to go through. We feel as if we are the first generation to stand up for mental health, and we’re paving the way for generations to come. We talk about a list of 10 events to define a generation. You can find it here: https://beausoleil.medium.com/ten-events-that-defined-a-generation-millennial-edition-9dd5c2806a32 some things on the list include y2k, Princess Diana’s death, and 9/11, just to get started. We disagree with the whole list, and there is plenty more to this list, like the countless school shootings we have lived through and Trump being elected. Even though it was only four years, it was terrible. Margaret went and changed her whole birth control simply because she was afraid he was going to take away women’s rights. The Black Lives Matters movement and the Me Too movement was also massive event in our generation. All in all, we are continuously trying to be better, and also, we are exhausted!

On todays episode we are talking about our fundates! We love giving updates on our lives and sometimes we’ve got so much things to talk about that we just decide to devote an hour to it! this week we talk about Margaret’s recent vacation in Hawaii and how beautiful the island is and how much she needed the trip. The big island is hands down the best island and everyone should RESPECTFULLY check it out. Martha talks about the recent energy blocks that she has been going through. She has been constantly seeing angel numbers all around her and she feels as if her ancestors are reaching out and trying to tell her something, she has been working on gathering more witchy stuff like a couple books: “American Brujeria *Modern Mexican American Folk Magic *” by J. Allen Cross and “Brujas The Magic And Power Of Witches Of Color” by Lorraine Monteagut. Also we plan on having full moon parties in the future once Margaret moves towards the mountain and we are very excited. This Valentines day was also the year anniversary of Margaret’s mom passing, so she was able to go on a hike with her family and spread some of her ashes.

In today's episode, we are talking about love languages! The idea is from a book called The Five Love Languages: How To Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate by Gary Chapman. We each take the quiz and find out that we both have multiple love languages. But our love languages are pretty similar. Our big one is acts of service. You can take the quiz here: https://www.5lovelanguages.com/quizzes/love-language We also talk about an attachment style quiz that goes hand in hand with the love language quiz, which you can take here: https://attachment.personaldevelopmentschool.com/ One problem that Margaret had with the attachment style quiz was the wording of the quiz. It refers to the caretakers from your early childcare as in mom and dad, which triggered a lot of things from her past, making her unable to finish the quiz. Not having all the inclusive words for the quiz and languages etc., is problematic. We found an updated, more inclusive ebook for the love languages with 18 different languages referring to all different types of love. https://www.themodernlovelanguages.com *We have no affiliation with any of the websites or books/authors listed above, no financial compensation was given to us* Let us know if you have any episode suggestions for us by emailing us at wineamilikeythis@gmail.com or you can dm us @wineamilikethis on Instagram.

On todays epsiode we are finally back in person! We are so excited to be in the same room with one another! Today we talk about this idea of “weaponized incompetence” which is when someone who pretends they didn’t know how to do something when in fact, they do. A lot of times this is done by men. Men pretend they don’t know how to do chores or go to the grocery store or cook dinner simply so they don’t have to, and there’s no possible way they could learn. We’re tired of the idea that it’s “sexy” for a man to do basic chores around the house, so we’re praising them for doing the bare minimum. We would like to get passed this and stop taking care of men their whole lives so that we can stop being so exhausted. This is something that’s been going on forever. It goes back to how a lot of men are raised with not a lot expected out of them where as women are expected to be care takers. Of course we know it’s not all men. But it’s enough.

On todays epsiode we had to record virtually again with the rise of omicron. Martha has actually caught the virus this time so she has had to quarantine all week. It was bound to happen sooner or later. She got some much needed sleep her body desperately needed. Today we talk about Covid experiences and continue on with our fun dates until we can meet again. We touch on topics about how when we’re finally able to gather we plan on doing a whole day of manifesting and how Martha is just simply sick of trying to date and happy being alone. Margaret is also looking forward to moving and creating her outdoor gym with a Peloton and maybe even selling feet pics and gym shorts who knows what the future brings, but hopefully it’s less of a 9-5 and more travel and freedom!

On todays epsiode we had to record virtually again with the rise of omicron. We really needed to talk about anything that would make us happy so we picked 2000’s fashion naturally. Low rise jeans were the winner of the 2000’s fashion, or the loser who’s to say. They really were very problematic reshaping all of our bodies in a very not cute way. We also touch on Ugg boots, thin scarves, old navy flip flops, frosted tips and chunky highlights just to name a few. If we could bring back any of these trends, there really isn’t too many good ones. The sequined satchel bag was a fave, and some of the awesome shoes like Reeboks, FUBU, and the platform flip-flops.
