We took a week off, and that’s okay. But are we petty for talking about consistency this week? LOL! Here’s another bestie talk with Ari and Syd, and we’re talking about the ways and woes of staying consistent, because why is this shit so hard?! Tap in and let us know in the comments what you’re hoping to stay consistent with this month!
Who are you, really? And how do you maintain that person while navigating your many roles and relationships. This week, we check in to share about our personal rituals and the many ways we honor all of our identities. What are ways you’ve learned to maintain your sense of self in relationships? (Romantic, platonic and professional). Drop a line below!
All relationships ebb and flow. On this episode of The Ari & Syd Show, we share our experiences with friendship breakups and how they affect us. Are friend breakups just as hard as romantic breakups? Hang out with us this week and hear what we think.
Being vulnerable, honest and consistent - all with yourself. Prioritizing yourself can be tough, especially with life throwing bows left and right. On this episode of the Ari & Syd Show we’re talking about the art of showing up so we can be our best selves as we venture through through our dirty thirties.
We're backkkkk! It's been a long year and we're so excited to get back to it.

Family! This season has been a ball! We’ve had incredible guests, inspiring movements to highlight and we both agree that we’ve shared a bit of vulnerability in this season - which is lowkey new territory for us. Season two is full of dope shit and we always are up for a good walk down memory lane. We’re looking forward to going behind the scenes and preparing for season 3, but also using this time as a reset - which we also talk about in this week’s episode. We highlight July as National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month so y’all know we are going to be doing our best to raise awareness, check in with our folks and ourselves!

Welcome back, family! We took a week off to honor Mother’s Day weekend. And when we got back to the office, we wanted to do some catching up (and maybe there’s a tad bit of ranting about virtual life just for razzle dazzle).
