The Best Life Podcast

After a (seemingly) eternal vacation, Jill is back and happy to be in the swing of things. We love travel, but there’s an inherent anxiety in being away from your routines and sometimes, that stress manifests in stupid fights (IYKYK). But Jill’s trip is all said and done, and now we’re looking forward to getting some mediocre Black Friday deals and a hysterectomy looming in 2027.It’s Christmas against our will [4:42]A long European vacation [6:54]Inherent anxiety in traveling [18:57]A stupid fight [21:45]Danny’s upcoming hysterectomy [31:50]Buying a whole cow [36:47]A million miles on Delta and an 822 credit score [38:18]Subscribe to The Lighthouse Lettershttps://dannyjdotcom.substack.com/Don’t forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

After a few years of some subconscious sabotage, Danny J wants to re-develop her relationship with discipline. Without the right goals in mind, discipline can feel like deprivation, and it’s easier to give up on your future self. Eating fast food feels easy, even though it’s unhealthy. Buying random shit on Amazon feels fun, even though it’s damaging to your finances. We don’t even have to think about it consciously! In an algorithm driven world, if you can’t decide what you want, it will be decided for you. So, Bestie, do you know what you want? Are you a victim to your random whims, or do you know how to flex your discipline muscle?Growing up with high expectations [2:04]Subconscious sabotaging [4:40]Looking towards the futureThe line between discipline and deprivation [6:29]Freedom for the things that really matter [12:29]Insidious advertising [15:18]Mixing mindfulness and discipline [17:42]Subscribe to The Lighthouse Lettershttps://dannyjdotcom.substack.com/Don’t forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

We girl math-ed too close to the sun, and we’re not too proud. It’s been years since Danny had a job with a steady pay check, and now that she does, she finds herself buying small things here and there with reckless abandon. $20 doesn’t seem very expensive, until you’ve made so many $20 purchases in a month that you can’t account for where your money is going anymore. So this month Danny put herself on a full spending freeze, and it’s been humbling, to say the least.The origins of Find The Money [1:56]Re-developing bad money habits [8:14]Deciding on a spending freeze [10:45]Time wasted while window-shopping [12:58]Use up what you already have [15:00]Shop your own closet [17:58]Second-hand first [19:51]Over and under thinking purchases [22:29]Subscribe to The Lighthouse Lettershttps://dannyjdotcom.substack.com/Don’t forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

Why is it always that when a man acts shitty, it becomes a woman’s job to fix it? And we get the added bonus of being called “too sensitive” or a nag when we do! In case you missed it, comedian Shane Gillis (though he’s not really funny enough to be called a comedian) recently made a “joke” about women being “whores” for wearing shorts to the gym. Plenty of women took the time to explain why that comment perpetuates rape culture, and men everywhere blamed all of us for not being able to “take a joke.” Insert eye roll here. For too damn long, it’s been though to be a woman’s job to “fix” men, but they seem hesitant to it and we only get shamed more for trying. We’re over it.Getting some TLC [3:31]A dream European vacation [7:09]Men need to hold each other accountable [10:36]Women are shamed just for existing [15:05]The normalization and perpetuation of rape culture [18:27]It’s not women’s job to fix men [20:02]No more mansplaining [24:42]Subscribe to The Lighthouse Lettershttps://dannyjdotcom.substack.com/Don’t forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

Many years ago, we had our first ayahuasca experience, and lived to tell the tale here on this podcast. Fast forward a few years, and now Danny has experienced a few more ayahuasca ceremonies. She’s now back from a 2 week long dieta (it’s not what you think it means) in Puerto Rico, and she’s a brand new woman. Every ceremony comes with it’s own insights and perspectives, and we thought you’d like to hear how it went.A Puerto Rican Dieta [1:31]The purpose of fasting [11:02]A lesson in discipline [12:46]Something different than ayahuasca [19:14]Two weeks without speaking [21:57]Clarity and peace [26:42]Massive gratitude [34:48]Discipline builds self-efficacy [40:07]The hardest part of traveling [47:23]Subscribe to The Lighthouse Lettershttps://dannyjdotcom.substack.com/Don’t forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!
