Does this summer feel different to you? Are you all too familiar with the "August Scaries"? As we enter this next month, we use this episode as a chance to reflect upon the summer. While not all of us are returning to class this Fall, we know the feelings of anxiety that can be associated with this change in season. However, this summer represented a different change for all three of us, making it stand out from other summers in the past. Tune in to hear us talk about outgrowing your childhood home, the first summer post-grad, and navigating the process of establishing a life for your own, on your own. Cheers! 

Friendship is a 2-way street, even if that street is thousands of miles away. Inspired by our very own friendship, this episode is here to help you analyze what a true friendship looks like, how to create genuine connections with those far away, and understanding why some people are just simply not meant for you right now! This chat helped us to think about what it takes to be a friend and how to keep the circle that you want, no matter how far away a friend may be. Be sure to stick around until the end for a sneak peek into future episodes and guests....

It's so easy to get caught up in the hustle & bustle of life and recently the girls have fallen into the trap. So this week they shared some "little things" that make life so special as well as share your responses as well! Random "love you" texts, sunrises, solo dates, letters, singing in the car; the list goes on! Tune in for this sweet episode plus some life updates from your hosts. There's joy everywhere, sometimes it just takes some extra looking! Cheers 

Love is in the air today, RESET!  In this week's episode, the girls are taking a quiz to find out what their love language is. The five love languages include Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Acts of Service, Physical Touch, and Gifts. This conversation touches on the ways in which the girls like to receive love and how they nurture the relationships in their life. While the quiz focussed on romantic relationships, these ideas can be further applied to friendships and self love. Although this topic can appear cheesy and cliche, it is important in life to be able to identify what makes you feel loved by others, as well as recognizing how you can make people you care about feel loved. Whether it is in the form of a coffee or a hug, love can show itself in many ways. This is your sign to send a message to someone special to you that you haven't connected with in a while and spread the love. Cheers! Link to quiz: https: //5lovelanguages.com/quizzes/love-language 

A hot topic this week, indeed! We are coming in hot to discuss what may be a slightly contentious one -- drinking alcoholic beverages! With three different perspectives and unique personal opinions on alcohol, we are contemplating some pros and cons of consuming alcohol. While considering some negative effects and dilemmas such as social isolation, peer pressure, and health concerns, this conversation also touches on the exciting and loopy feeling alcohol can bring about as well as easing social anxiety and boredom. No matter your opinions, this episode is sure to entertain you. Cheers!!

As the semester is coming to a close, the girls are all transitioning to their new lives in different environments. In a state of constantly adapting to new places, when will one place begin to feel like home? In this week's episode, the girls discussed where they associate home to be at this point in their lives. The meaning behind the word seems to be ever-changing in correspondence to our lives evolving with age but is that such a terrible thing? 

Being the retrospective and curious girls that we are, this Wednesday we have decided to do a personal reflection back to a younger version of ourselves. The three of us took slightly different approaches with our reflections and surely had a great talk and some giggles along the way. If you are curious about how we interpreted and characterized ourselves in the past whether that was elementary school, high school, or even as recently as the past few months, be sure to tune in this Wednesday. Stay until the end to hear our hopes and predictions for what one year from now will bring. Happy Wednesday!!

Oh, how scary change can be! As young adults, we're in a constant period of transition which can be super overwhelming. In this week's episode, we discussed how to navigate adapting to new places/milestones. Staying present and embracing the change within and around you is crucial in this transitional period. Tune in to this week's episode to hear us reflect, redirect, and RESET! xoxo
