Keeping Friends in Adult Life Is Hard

In our most Delilah-ish episode yet, we talk in soothing, nighttime voices about how hard it is to make and keep friendships in adult life. Why don't we have sleepovers anymore? When did that become a thing of childhood past? In this solo episode, we cover these topics and perhaps the most important question of all: should we just move in together?Check out the show notes for this episode here!---CONNECT WITH US:Instagram | Website | Merch | PatreonIf you want to listen to all 40+ episodes from Season 01, check out our archives on Patreon!

What If We Don't Put Our Worth on Our Size?

In this first episode of our two-parter with body image coach Christina Montalvo, we talk about the failures of something else: the diet culture industry. Christina shows us just how ingrained dieting is in our lives and mindsets - and we ask some big questions about emotions, labeling, and comparison when it comes to our bodies and our food. Stay tuned for Part 2!Check out the show notes for this episode and read more about Christina here!---CONNECT WITH US:Instagram | Website | Merch | PatreonIf you want to listen to all 40+ episodes from Season 01, check out our archives on Patreon!

If Your Heart's Not in It, You Don't Have to Do It

Launch Your Daydream founders Britt & Kelsey join us on the podcast today to bring the kind of content our listeners want to hear: what it was like to meet and hug all five of the Backstreet Boys. We also talk to them about how your failures can show you that you don't have to force yourself to do what your heart doesn't want. Failing at something? Maybe it was never the right fit.Check out the show notes and find more about Britt & Kelsey here!---CONNECT WITH US:Instagram | Website | Merch | PatreonIf you want to listen to all 40+ episodes from Season 01, check out our archives on Patreon!

You're Allowed to Be Whatever You Are

In Episode 32, we talk about the idea of "niceness" - whether we were considered nice or not growing up, what niceness even means, and how terms like it are not nearly descriptive enough to get to the core of what a person is like. We get into the nitty gritty about how what we tell ourselves, our friends, or our children can impact them for a long time after. Moral of the story: you are not defined by how nice you are and there is no one thing that describes your whole self.Read the show notes here!---CONNECT WITH US:Instagram | Website | Merch | PatreonIf you want to listen to all 40+ episodes from Season 01, check out our archives on Patreon!

Fail Forward, Fail Fast

In this episode, we chat with negotiation consultant Devon Smiley about some hefty topics: value and worth, gender stereotypes around negotiating, and pre-Drake Degrassi. Devon talks to us about asking for what we need and going after the 'no,' because it means you're pushing far enough.Find the show notes for this episode and learn more about Devon here!---CONNECT WITH US:Instagram | Website | Merch | PatreonIf you want to listen to all 40+ episodes from Season 01, check out our archives on Patreon!

Love Yourself at Every Point

This week, we chat with Keneshia Raymond - wedding creatives educator and founder of Curvy Unicorn Bridal - about her why: why not? Keneshia is full of so much hard-earned wisdom, but the question she asks herself, "Why not you? Who else is going to do it if you don't?" sticks with us hard. She is a fierce body positivity advocate and doesn't love the idea of a romper, so of course this episode is one to play on repeat.Learn more about Keneshia and read the show notes here!---CONNECT WITH US:Instagram | Website | Merch | PatreonIf you want to listen to all 40+ episodes from Season 01, check out our archives on Patreon!

What We've Learned from Podcasting about Failure (Parts 1 & 2)

In celebration of hitting 25 episodes, we decided to record #25 in two parts! Part One is a just-us episode where we reflect on how our perceptions on podcasting and failure have changed since the beginning. For Part Two (which plays immediately after Part One), we're guest hosted by illustrator and designer Alyssa Nutile - who has been a listener since episode 1! We're so happy to have Alyssa on the show to ask us all the terribly difficult and probably overly personal questions we ask our guests every week. Thank you for listening and for supporting this podcast for 25 episodes!To read the show notes and learn more about Alyssa, head here!---CONNECT WITH US:Instagram | Website | Merch | PatreonIf you want to listen to all 40+ episodes from Season 01, check out our archives on Patreon!

Give Yourself a Chance

This week we chat with Leslie Wong, cofounder of self care-focused (and sizing inclusive) lingerie brand Burgundy Fox Co, about that moment when you first truly feel weird in your body and how life is made up of a lot of little failures. She shares so much wisdom on how your numbers on the scale don't mean anything of value and don't tell you the kind of person you are.Read the show notes and check out more about Leslie here!---CONNECT WITH US:Instagram | Website | Merch | PatreonIf you want to listen to all 40+ episodes from Season 01, check out our archives on Patreon!

What Haven't You Decided Yet?

Danielle LaRock has done Eat, Pray, Love. She's done Wild. She's gone on every adventure that has a book written about it (basically), so talking to her about her idea of practical magic was illuminating and so much fun. We love how Danielle considers failure just another adventure - and she asks a powerful question that makes you reconsider everything.Learn more about Danielle and read the show notes for this episode here!---CONNECT WITH US:Instagram | Website | Merch | PatreonIf you want to listen to all 40+ episodes from Season 01, check out our archives on Patreon!
