Work Wives Unscripted

Happy Thursday! This week, we’re diving into something we’ve all been guilty of at one point or another – simping in business. Yep, it’s more common than you think, and we’re here to break it down. Join us as we chat boundary setting, holding onto your self-respect, knowing what you’re willing to give, and learning to release those unmet expectations. We’re also covering: What questions to ask yourself when you feel like you’re simping out of necessity How you might be simping without even realizing it Who you’re simping for, and why What happens when you keep simping (spoiler: nothing good) The golden rule? Don’t simp unless you actually want to! It’s all about staying true to yourself and letting go of those expected outcomes and empty promises. This episode is a good one. See you inside the episode, and don’t forget to stay connected with us on Instagram! If you love the pod, it would mean so much if you left us a review. As always, thanks for being here and see you soon! Ily

Welcome back, Wives! This week, we’re diving into something that hits close to home – putting yourself out there and facing the fears that come with it, especially in the creative world. Building on last week’s chat about trying new things, we’re getting real about what it means to overcome those inner doubts that can hold us back. For us, these fears show up in different ways. Maybe it’s the fear of being seen and showing your truest self through your creative work, or perhaps it’s the fear of being misunderstood when you take a leap of faith and trust your gut as you navigate new changes. In this episode, we’re catching up, checking in on our emotional state, tackling a particularly daunting Would You Rather, and diving deep into the messy, beautiful world of creative expression and leaning into fear. We think this one’s going to resonate with you. Got topics you’d love to hear us explore? We’re all ears – reach out and let us know!

Hello, our beloved Wives! We’re back with Episode 31, and it’s all about pushing past the fear of embarrassment or being new at something and doing it anyway. How it's cool to try new things, even if you’re not great at them at first? The WYR this week is themed around the topic and it's not one you want to miss as we learn that maybe Jill's new calling is Slam Poetry? Join us as we find the root of where embarrassment comes from, why staying stagnant and overplanning is more detrimental than jumping in and trying something that sounds fun and scares the sh*t out of you, and the ICING ON THE CAKE: Debriefing the filming and backstory of Jill's incredible passion project, "Remember How to Play". Katie also opens up a bit about what it means to be in a state of creative healing and recovery, and we learn that sharing our wins and struggles while in different stages of creativity is actually, quite beautiful. There’s so much to unpack in this episode, and it’s one that will spark future conversations. We hope you love it as much as we do!

This is a BIG week for Work Wives Unscripted as we’ve got some huge news to share: Katie is pregnant! If you follow her on Instagram, you might already know, but buckle up because we’re about to dive deep. In true Work Wives fashion, we’ll unpack the personal and professional identity shifts that come with stepping into motherhood. It's open and it's honest. Jill is making waves, too. She’s fully embracing her personal brand as an asset to her production company — working on stepping into her identity as a Director while simultaneously overcoming the imposter syndrome of claiming the title itself. Per usual, we talk about all things work and transitions. 2024 is shaping up to be a year of big changes and new seasons for us, and we’re so grateful to have this safe space to share it all with you. So grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and join us for a good ole WWU Solo, we missed y'all. Stay up to date on the Work Wives Instagram Episode References: The Diary of a CEO Episode Ft.

We’re so honored to welcome Bailey Ness to Work Wives Unscripted. Bailey is the founder of Nesscessity, a social media marketing agency, and if that's not enough, she's also the co-founder of Cooldown Running, a social run club and running apparel company. To say we were impressed by her is an understatement. Bailey is the epitome and a leading example of a “don’t overthink, just do” mindset. This mindset has truly catapulted her success to conquer anything she sets her sights on. While we open up a lot about the struggles that come with entrepreneurship and navigating what it’s really like owning a small business, this episode was a refreshing reminder that, maybe, just maybe, we’re making it harder than it has to be. Sitting down with Bailey was a breath of fresh air, leaving us incredibly inspired that it simply takes putting one foot right in front of the other to make sh*t happen. Oh, and thank G for Google.

2024 is the year of making sh*t happen. Sometimes that comes with being completely delusional and going out on a whim to chase those lofty goals.  This is the behind-the-scenes, unfiltered story of the Halfdays Pitch (if you’re unfamiliar with it, check it out here). The three of us joined forces and decided to publicly pitch a female-owned ski brand called Halfdays and to our surprise, we got the co-founder's attention in 47 minutes.  Here at Work Wives, we aim to pull the veil behind it all, so while the pitch got some eyes on it, we wanted to invite you into the chaos that ensued and what it truly took to deliver the product we did. It was necessary to have our gal Ori on to tell the tale.  Excited to see where this takes us, thanks so much for being here! xx Check out Ori’s work: Instagram Keep in touch with us! We love to hear from you: Instagram

We are so excited and honored to welcome Adam and Netta to Work Wives Unscripted. Coming from two entirely different backgrounds, life led them to each other in an incredibly unique, destined-to-be way after experiencing life-changing individual experiences (to say the least). Netta had just finished serving two years in the Israeli army, while Adam had just healed from a Craniotomy after his brain tumor diagnosis. This is a story that is so much greater than highlighting two inspiring entrepreneurs, it’s a story about your internal relationship with self, experiencing a drastic “wake-up” call, navigating grief, finding profound love when you least expect it, and building a life anew.  We could’ve talked to them for hours as there are SO many dynamics to this story, but we hope this episode serves as a reminder to design a life that honors your spirit and your needs, finding balance in chasing your dreams and investing in the people around you.  Adam is the founder of Umbrla Supply, a streetwear and home goods brand that donates a portion of its proceeds to brain tumor research.  Netta is the founder of her new brand, Ima Urban Wellness. She’s a Holistic Nutrition Professional and Yoga Instructor, combining mind, body, and spirit practices, on a mission to help you connect with your highest, and most whole self. She offers personalized programs focused on food alchemy, movement, or the entire 360 experience.  Check out Umbrla Supply: Website Instagram Check out Ima Urban Wellness: Website Instagram Thanks so much for joining us this week, see you soon! xx

You guys, we're shaking our heads at ourselves that it's been nearly a month since an episode dropped, maybe that's why we named the last one "God Help Us in 2024" because to put it bluntly, we've been busting our a$$es. But you know we always come through because we're here to offer you some hot tips from our favorite and very own beloved accountant, Ed. He swooped down and saved us like baby birds, tucked us under his wing, and now we soar into tax season making them as enjoyable of an experience as they can be! In other words, he's incredible. Join us this week as he answers all of the tax season questions that we all need to know but are too afraid to ask, including things like: When is it a good time to consider hiring an accountant?  How can people best prepare before hiring an accountant?  Covering all things considered legit business write-offs Explaining the difference between an LLC and an S-Corp Small business owner icks that Accountants hate Quarterly taxes, are they required? What triggers an IRS Audit? How can we lower our tax liability? And SO much more. Go make that money and feel blessed to pay taxes, because it means your business is profitable!!  EPISODE DISCLAIMER: Correction regarding the discussion about FAMLI. The cutoff before an employer has to match the .45% is 10 employees (the episode mentioned 5) SECURE is what is a 5-employee cutoff. For FAMLI, business owners have to take .45% out of each employee’s paycheck (as the employee’s contribution) and only have to add .45% as the employer contribution when they have 10 or more employees.

Happy New Year!! Even though we ended 2023 joking and also semi-crying about "failed" manifestations for the year, (quotations b/c we hate that word) we're just as delulu entering 2024 but with new tactics and fun revelations. Join us this week for tips when it comes to goal-setting, our new obsession with Human Design, and building a vision board. You also get a first-hand look at the Christmas miracle we accomplished all thanks to Santa's Hung Bros. 2024 is here and it's entirely up to us to make it a year where we look at ourselves in the mirror and say, "You fckn did it." If our podcast has sparked joy, brought you laughs, or even helped you feel less alone, reviews make our day and we would absolutely love to hear from you! Amazing resources talked about in the episode: Manifestation Babe's Vision Board Alchemy mini-course Interested in checking out Human Design? We love this app Love you all so much xx

Happy Holidays, our beloved Wives! Buckle up for the ride of this episode because it's packed with all of our favorite things that make this podcast what it is. To make it even better, it's CHRISTMAS. Join us for a good laugh, cry, a few minutes to pity ourselves, and then as always, end on a full circle moment with high notes of optimism and excitement for the new year. We break open our journals to read through and live react to all of the manifestations we wrote out for 2023. Although more manifestations didn't come through than those that did (lol) maybe it's a good lesson to not be too tied to "failure" and redirect the intention of a goal in the first place. Also, stay tuned for Santa's Hung Bros content on our Instagram. We love you all so much! Enjoy your holiday and we'll see you in 2024. *muah* Follow us: Instagram Also if you haven't yet and enjoy the podcast, it would mean so much to us if you left a rating!

Hi Honeys! Hope your holiday season is cheery and bright, we're excited to welcome our financial advisors, Chelsea and Kathleen to the pod. Let's be real, finances are hard, but they don't have to be! When we first met Chelsea and Kathleen, we spent nearly our entire first meeting at a networking event trying to understand just exactly what a financial advisor does, how they get paid, the benefit of working with one as a small business owner (or just in general), and if we were even qualified to be a client of theirs, lol. Finances are a subject that can't be avoided in business, and the topic doesn't have to be taboo. As we continue to grow as female solopreneurs, we're continuously striving to feel empowered by how we handle our money while navigating the road bumps of growth, better understanding where to invest our money, and the moves we can make now to set ourselves up better for the future. If you're interested in learning more about what Chelsea and Kathleen do or would like to work with them, feel free to reach out to us via email or DM and we can send their info along!

Season 2 has started on a more serious note (in all the best ways) and this week we just wanted to let out some laughs. We start by talking about our podcast icks of ourselves which turns into an entire lesson by the master, Jill herself, teaching Katie the formula of just exactly how to tell a funny story. What is it about this soft skill that can turn you from a crowd-pleaser to a true crowd entertainer?! Idk stay tuned. Actually after recording we decided this is a good human skill to know and can elevate any social occasion. See you cuties next week!

Happy Thanksgiving, Wives! We're so thankful for you and excited to be back for Pt 2 with Henry Tieu of Henry's Diary.
