The Best Life Podcast

Life is complicated and as much as we would love some straight-forward answers, it’s rare we get any. Lately we’ve been thinking about how our consumer habits might be harmful, and how to deal with trolls on social media in a healthy way. Whether it’s Amazon or Instagram, we can’t run from our lives and our society, so if we want to live the Best Life in this world we were given, we’re gonna need to practice some mindfulness in all the things we do.Some thoughts on sustainability [0:43]Feeling good in our clothes [6:07]“I’m buying this because I deserve it” [8:17]Companies need to take responsibility after the sale [9:25]Where does the blame lie?

Somehow, this is a hygiene podcast now. It was never our intent but either we’ve jumped the shark, or our lives are filled with really stinky people. We were personal trainers once and one thing personal trainers run in to is lots of sweat, and lots of sweat tends to mean lots of stank. It may be an occupational hazard, but no one wants to work closely with someone who smells awful. Telling someone they smell bad is never fun, but it doesn’t have to ruin your relationship with them.A stinky personal training client [2:59]Stealthily offer hygiene advice [4:58]Some smells you get used to [8:05]Try to be an example of cleanliness [9:34]You gotta protect yourself, but also their feelings [12:12]Sweat smells, so keep some distance [13:39]Offering deodorant for all patrons [15:39]Don’t make it personal [17:40]Don’t forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

Pretty privilege is undeniable, but did you know that the more attractive you are, the more money you’ll make too? It doesn’t seem fair since our levels of attractiveness are pretty much fixed, but there are ways we can play up what makes us hot. People are always going to judge us for the way we look, so should we be focusing on looking hotter, just to make a little more money?“Don’t be embarrassed, but…” [2:48]Bad lighting and long chin hairs [5:09]Pretty privilege in making money [8:00]Is there an evolutionary reason?

Did you watch the big fight? You know, the one between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. We were never much fans of fighting, but it seems like the whole world was tuned in to watch Jake Paul get knocked out, but we didn’t get what we wanted. Some people claim it was rigged, while others claim it was unfair to watch a 27-year-old beat up an old man. Personally, we were just glad to get a night off from talking about the election.Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul [0:50]How the match went down [2:47]Could Jake knock out Mike?

Money matters, whether you like it or not. We believe that women deserve to make just as much money—and more!—as any man, and that wanting money is not a moral failing. After our marriages ended, it was more important than ever to be able to provide for ourselves, and we want the same for everyone. At the same time, we want to spend our money exactly the way we want to, while still living abundantly and generously, and of course getting to live a fun life that we fucking love. Money isn’t good or bad, but having access to money sure brings you options.Eating spiders, ants, and flies [3:11]I don’t need to see where my meat comes from [5:35]It’s important for women to make money [7:03]Money means different things to women [8:00]It costs more to be a woman [10:46]Providing for our families [13:41]Having a lot of money doesn’t have to be bad [16:14]Giving as an operating system [19:33]Money creates opportunities [22:09]Don’t tell me what to do with my money [25:33]More money means more responsibilities [29:14]You can give back at any income [32:22]Wanting money doesn’t make you greedy [36:54]Don’t forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

Danny has a secret weapon in her relationship, and it isn’t therapy. It’s ChatGPT. When things get heated, communicating is hard! Luckily there’s a perfectly neutral third party who has the brains to put together exactly what you want to say. It doesn’t even have to be romantic relationships—Chat can help with professional relationships and friendships, too. If you’re stuck looking for the right thing to say, maybe try asking ChatGPT what they would do.ChatGPT saved my relationship [1:07]The right words to get what you want [1:45]Shifting relationship dynamics [3:59]Smoothing over professional conflicts [5:18]Get help with interpersonal relationships [8:06]Be careful while copy and pasting [10:34]Don’t forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

Relationships are tricky, and it’s normal to wonder what life might look like outside of the one you’re in. Things get even stickier when the person you’re with is the only person you’ve ever known. We had a listener bravely share her doubts and confusion surrounding her relationship and her feelings of curiosity about what lies beyond and we wanted to give this more thought. We all only have one life, and spending it less than satisfied only hurts us down the road, but is there a clear answer in a situation like this?

When you split from a long-term partner, there’s a real period of grief you’ll experience. No one ever goes into a marriage thinking that it’ll end, and when the unthinkable happens, it’s normal to feel lost and lonely—your world has been uprooted entirely, but life just keeps going on. So what do you do with your time when, for the first time in a long time, you find yourself single? We’ve been there, Bestie, and while it isn’t easy, there’s a lot of beauty that can be found in being on your own.Halloween is bigger than ever [1:06]Grief after divorce [6:39]Sitting in the discomfort of loneliness [8:24]Learn to love your own company [11:18]Challenge yourself to say “yes” to more things [15:20]Dating apps without the pressure of getting in a new relationship [18:12]There are no new stories [22:24]Now is the time to discover who you are [24:50]Don’t forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

Y’all know that we want to stay as healthy (and as hot) as we can for as long as we can, and a large part of that is our dental health. We’ve been taking our oral health seriously lately, and clearly, you need to hear all about it.

We’re feeling a little chaotic lately, so we’re recording a chaotic episode for you today. We talk a little about the possibility of doing a retreat with all of our Besties, looking forward to our dogs’ extracurricular activities, and our favorite (and by that we mean our least favorite) subject—aging. Somehow, we just keep getting older, but we’re doing everything we can to cut that shit out. Maybe we can’t prevent ourselves from physically getting older, but we can guarantee our brains and energies stay sharp.An intimate retreat with friends [3:02]The dog frisbee league [5:01]Processing a divorce after it happens [7:30]Men tend to avoid their feelings [9:59]You don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone [12:27]Showing our faces on social media [16:36]Using filters feels wrong [18:42]Trying to look younger [21:05]Feeling younger than we are [22:48]Age is all in how well you take care of yourself [26:00]You can always choose your attitude and energy [29:46]A man who’s afraid of aging [32:03] Trying new things to stay youthful [36:32]Sleep issues [42:46]Don’t forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

We know the internet is full of people who say shit they don’t even believe just to rile us up, but damn does it get to us sometimes. There’s a new wave of men out there that think women who are single over the age of 30 can’t be happy, and if you’re a woman, you know how bullshit that idea is. We LOVE men, but sometimes they really piss us off. Yes, being in a relationship can make us happy, but it’s not the only thing that makes us happy, and at this point we’s be just fine without boyfriends. The men we’re in relationships with add so much to our lives, but our relationships aren’t the only things that give our lives meaning. And besides, how sad would it be if they only thing keeping us with our partners was the fear of being alone. We’ve been single over 30, and we’ve been in relationships over 30, and the presence of a man didn’t make much of a difference in our contentment with life.Businesses who “put God first” [1:42]Religious pandering [4:20]Can women over 30 be happy to be single?

Looks aren’t everything—but that doesn’t mean they don’t matter. But are you a bad person for turning someone away for the way they look? It’s normal to have physical preferences in a romantic partner, and of course you’re never an asshole for having them, but in our experience, for the right person, you’ll be willing to make some sacrifices on physical appearance. We’d rather look for a few really great personal qualities and a less than perfect body than a Greek God with the personality of a piece of cardboard.Alex Hormozi’s business scaling event [2:06]Observing how other people run their businesses [8:34]Getting a full business education for free [10:22]Could you be attracted to a man who is out of shape?

We love talking about relationships on this show, and that interest started with the upheaval we faced when our respective marriages ended due to infidelity. What we never realized was that that experience was a traumatic event for us—the kind of event that permanently alters our mental and emotional states. Dealing with betrayal and infidelity felt so lonely and isolating almost a decade ago as we went through it, but now there are people like Lindsay Haverslew, aka The Betrayal Trauma Therapist, who are normalizing and educating people on the real traumas of betrayal, and helping other people like us rewrite our stories with happy endings. We were so excited to talk with her about all-things infidelity and betrayal, and how people in the thick of their heartbreak can begin a journey towards healing.Connect with Lindsay: @the.betrayal.trauma.therapistBetrayal can be a true traumatic event [2:10]The shame and judgement around staying [5:18]Give yourself permission to not know [9:06]What do signs of real change look like?

Would you date someone with a history of addiction? We all have different feelings about addictions, and different histories with addictive substances. We don’t believe that struggling with addiction is a moral failing that makes you a bad person, but we do know that addictions impact relationships in big ways, and should be taken seriously. People who have addictions deserve love just like anyone else, but there are some parts of addiction that need to be taken into account when starting a relationship with someone.Can you be “too old” to get married?

We have a love-hate relationships with Threads. It’s a fascinating app with some of the worst rage-bait and hot takes, but we fall for it every time. Recently we saw a post about the idea that women, after a certain age, need to be dressing “age appropriate.” If you know anything about us, you’ll know what comes next: fuck that shit. We’ve always been live-and-let-live kind of people, and especially when it comes to what someone wears, we find ourselves thinking, who even gives a shit? If you don’t want to wear a mini-skirt as an old lady, then don’t!
