Listen to Heather and Rachel talk about the stresses of the season and dish some advice on how to avoid those pesky family members who never have anything nice to say...and they'll be spilling the tea about their first week of tea too. 

It's that time of year, Namas-baes and Tranquilites. The time to wear carves and boots, the time to cuddle with baes, the time to avoid family at all costs, and the time to promise yourself you'll start working out in the new year... Well, with all that stress from the holiday season, our girls Rachel and Heather thought: what's a great way to unwind after a stressful day visiting in-laws? A nice hot cup of tea. This month, Heather and Rachel look into tea, it's history, it's herbal properties and how it can help combat all kinds of terrible moods!  Plus, this month is all about dishing the goods on how to survive a holiday dinner with those that annoy you the most: your family. So stick around and spill some tea!

Namas-baes and Tranquilites, I hate to break it to you, but it's the end of days. At least, that's what Heather and Rachel feel like! Mercury in retrograde has them STRESSED OUT AF!

Stay tuned!

Heather and Rachel have the CUTEST and most relatable listener stories for ya'll! I mean, looking for a job when you move back home from living abroad after three years? Talk about stressful! And not having to look for a job in 25 years!!! Pure bliss. But not reality for most millennials. These Namas-baes and Tranquilites that wrote in have some tea to spill! AND Heather and Rachel might have forgotten about a listener that wrote in for their topic in October...so buckle up as they talk death. Again! 

You know what's stressful? Looking for a job. You know what else is stressful? Actually HAVING a job. There's no happy medium!!! And Rachel and Heather are here to PREACH! They know the struggle from both sides of the coin! And both are STRU-GGL-ING right now (please envision the hand clapping emogi between the pronunciation of that work. K THANKS!) Heather is on the hunt and Rachel is definitely not living her best life at work right now. So how do they deal with the stress? They journal. See how our girls are doing this week! Tune in!

Alright you Namas-baes and Tranquilites, get out those dusty-ass journals you used to pretend to write in when you were 13 years old, because we're about to write about our feelings! Heather and Rachel have done the research and believe, whole-heartedly that journaling every day will basically make them relax to the max (official scientific jargon). Also, it's hilarious reading entries from when you were 9 years old. Join Rachel and Heather in their second FULL MONTH CHALLENGE as they attempt to journal every day! What strange things will flow from their brains when they're stressed? Stay tuned to find out! 

It's the spookiest time of year and Heather and Rachel are laying down what's real! Does drawing everyday and forcing yourself to play the ukulele actually make you less stressed? What's harder: finding a Halloween costume or finding a Halloween party? Does this holiday really get better with age, or was it's prime in the past? All of these EXTREMELY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS will be answered. Just take a listen.  Heather and Rachel wrap up their first month-long challenge and talk all things nostalgic Halloween. Sounds nice, right? Well, it's definitely on the darker side...Tune in my Namas-baes and Tranquilites!

From your lips to theirs, your favourite Namas-bae and Tranquilite are here to spread the word on what their listeners have to say about death. Do people love it? Do they hate it?

What a perfect holiday to reflect on death - while so many people sit around eating turkey carcasses. Anyway! Rachel and Heather and getting real this episode and talking all things death! What do they know about death? Turns out, not a lot. But they sure do have feelings about it!!! Could that be because they're neurotic and stressed out individuals who overthink things unnecessarily? Probably. But it still makes for an interesting episode! Listen as they tell you their thoughts, feelings and plans for death and what some other cultures (and species) do when it comes to grieving their dead. It's hella interesting!  Then stick around as they tell you all about (and confess about) their first week of being creative! Let's just say, Rachel has this one in the bag.

Rachel will explain (and Heather will nod along with all of you) as our Namasbae and Tranquilite attempt to chill out...yet again. This time, by taking a pill.  

Warning all Namasbaes and Tranquilites! The shit Heather and Rachel talk about in this episode is about to get REAL! They are diving into the real and true stress of money! What about money? About having it, or not having it, borrowing it and lending it, not knowing what to do with it, where to send it, or how to spend it. They go all the way with this one, so buckle up!  And they give you alllllllll the tea on what it's been like trying to stay physical! Basically, it's not going as planned. But they think they can fix it and really get into the challenge this next week! Do you believe in them? Tune in to see how they do it!

Namasbaes and Tranquilites, are you ready to sweat?! Are you excited to burn off the stress of the day?! Are you SO STOKED to WORK OUT?!?!?! Neither are Heather and Rachel...well, maybe Rachel is a little. Basically, our girls couldn't avoid this challenge any longer. I mean, everyone in the world practically knows that working out and exercising is one of the most effective ways to treat stress, anxiety, depression, and everything else that any millennial probably deals with these days. Listen to them dive into it and tell you how they really feel about this new challenge and how able-bodied privilege worked it's way into the conversation.  Oh! And you're definitely going to want to stick around and listen to them gush about this silence challenge! One of them is a huge fan, and I bet you won't be able to guess which one! 

Alright you Namas-baes and Tranquilites, this episode is DEEP! While Heather and Rachel have been reveling in their silence, they've also come to the realization that, being in your 20s SUCKS! Like, everyone says it's great, then you get there and you're lile...wow, this is it? Bills and being tired and hangovers for days? No thanks! So our girls are here to drop some hard advice on how to survive the pressures and stresses of your 20s! You're welcome. Then, they annoyingly gush about the silence challenge. It's pretty lame.

Welcome back Namasbaes and Tranquilites! This week Heather and Rachel have shown up and ARE HERE! They talk about a whooooooole latta shit, so listen up! Because they're exploring silence. You heard me. This week our favourite Namasbae and Tranquilite are looking into silence and asking how it helps deal with stress. And they explore some excellent stuff! They also take this (and every other) opportunity to tell people about how their challenge went, and let's just say the hydration challenge may have some new devotees. Listen to them spread the gospel about water and get into silence.
