Ep. 478: When A Prominent Public Figure Tells A Lie

The Best Life Podcast ·

2024/04/05

Maybe you’ve heard already, but prominent podcaster Andrew Huberman, was recently exposed for having relationships with 6 different women at once. And while there’s nothing technically “illegal” about what he’s done, it’s a really shitty move done by someone who claims to have high integrity, and it rubs us the wrong way. We’re not big believers in the concept that how you do one thing is how you do everything, but how are we supposed to respect a man that has shown he doesn’t really respect the

Ep. 477: How Our Workouts Change As We Age

The Best Life Podcast ·

2024/04/03

We’re not at young as we once were, and as much as we hate to admit it, our bodies are changing. That means making peace with the fact that the way we once worked out no longer works for us, and figuring out new ways to stay fit. It’s hard af to let go of the ways things used to be, but staying the same forever can do more harm than good. Nowadays we prioritize managing our physical + emotional stress, putting on muscle, and letting the small things add up. Just because working out looks different

Ep. 476: Finding Happiness While Sober with Courtney...

The Best Life Podcast ·

2024/03/29

We’ve been on a sober-curious kick lately, so who better to talk to than someone who’s built a community for sober women and has been sober herself for 11 years and counting? Today, Danny interviews Courtney Andersen, founder of Sober Vibes, about her journey to sobriety and the challenges and joys of living an alcohol-free life. We discuss the decision to quit drinking, finding fun without alcohol, the cultural shift towards sobriety, and how to navigate social outings without alcohol. We also talk

The Best Life Podcast ·

2024/03/27

Instagram is rolling out a new feature that defaults to keeping news and political content off of our feeds, and it got us thinking, is it irresponsible to ignore current events? Unfortunately, many news sources are produced with biases, headlines are manufactured to outrage rather than inform, and falsified information is getting harder and harder to differentiate from what’s “real.” And not only that, but after years of getting everything from social media algorithms, we’re all primed to see and

Ep. 474: Can Men + Women Be Friends, No Strings...

The Best Life Podcast ·

2024/03/22

Today, we’re bravely tackling a question no one has ever dared to ask before: can men and women be friends? Okay, okay, we hardly have a new take on this topic—of course they can!—but as two women whose marriages ended due to infidelity, sometimes the answer can feel a little more complicated. Lots of men and women can be friends with no romantic or sexual connection, but there are some hard feelings and potential red flags to be aware of if you or your partner has a close friend of the opposite

Ep. 473: Simple Is Boring

The Best Life Podcast ·

2024/03/20

Whenever we face problems in our lives, we tend to crave complicated solutions over easy ones. Somehow we think complexity is more likely to give us a result—unfortunately, while simple is boring, it’s also effective. No one wants to hear that the solution to losing weight is eating less. Instead we look to fad diets or new workout techniques, and it takes us even longer to reach our goals. We’re so caught up in optimizing everything that we forget to perfect the basics. Is there anything in your

Ep. 472: The Loneliness in Getting Older

The Best Life Podcast ·

2024/03/15

Maybe it’s just us, but there’s some weird loneliness that seems to come with getting older. We’ve been holding it down for our loved ones for so long, and we’re caretakers by nature, but maybe it’s time to ask who’s taking care of us? Our responsibilities are more than ever, but now our support networks are spread out and we don’t want to burden anyone. What’s left is us, feeling alone, and starting to feel resentful of our lives. We know it isn’t forever, but sometimes that loneliness hits us, and

Ep. 471: Is Taking Selfies Self-Absorbed?

The Best Life Podcast ·

2024/03/13

It’s 2024, are we still judging people for taking selfies? Sometimes we like the way we look and want to share it, what’s so wrong with that? There are so many times we wish we’d gotten over ourselves and taken photos to remember specific moments in our lives, but now those times are past and we’ll never get those memories back. And hey, there’s nothing wrong with taking a picture just because you’re feeling hot, too. Next time you see someone post a selfie, let it inspire you to take photos of your

Ep. 470: Can You Be Too Relatable?

The Best Life Podcast ·

2024/03/08

When you have an audience of any kind, a decision must be made—do you keep yourself relatable and friendly to all, or do you out your own self on a pedestal to keep people coming back for more? For the former, some might argue that this leaves you “too” relatable, and at risk of your audience losing respect for you. On the other hand, the latter might leave you seeming stiff, unapproachable, and with a superiority complex. Danny and Jill ponder this dichotomy and wonder what the best path is for

Ep. 469: Grief Demands to Be Felt, Even When It's...

The Best Life Podcast ·

2024/03/07

Grief demands to be felt, and in many ways it needs to be witnessed. Grief doesn’t have a specific look, nor does it have an expiration date, but there are some types of grief that might seem uncommon or “wrong” to feel, which can leave us stuck with these feelings without any way to process them. That’s disenfranchised grief—grief that isn’t openly acknowledged on a societal or personal level. Maybe you have felt some disenfranchised grief, and in this episode Danny shares some of the commonly

Ep. 468: Do We Even Need Men?

The Best Life Podcast ·

2024/03/02

We talk a lot of shit about men (and sometimes they deserve it) but at the end of the day, we love men and we appreciate what they do for us and who they are. But sometimes we wonder if the younger generations feel the same. “We don’t need men!” is a popular soundbyte, but do young women really feel that way, and how it that affecting the self esteem of the future generations of boys?Do we need men?

Ep. 467: Towels for Valentine's Day

The Best Life Podcast ·

2024/02/29

For holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries, do gifts matter? Or is it only the thought that counts? Maybe a mixture of the two? We aren’t saying that the only way to make us feel loved is by buying us gifts, but there are some presents that are a little more insulting to receive than if you had gotten nothing at all. We all want to be loved in different ways, so before you go buy towels for your partner for Valentine’s Day, make sure it’s something they’d love.Towels for Valentine’s Day

Ep. 466: Elitism in Internet Business

The Best Life Podcast ·

2024/02/24

There’s a lot to be said about “getting in the room” and surrounding yourself with people who can challenge and elevate you as a business owner or person, but at what point does it become elitism? At what point is the obsession with surrounding yourself with the “right” people performative and just for chasing clout? We’ve been entrepreneurs for a long time, and unfortunately, we see a lot of transactional relationships and judgement against people who aren’t deemed successful enough, whatever that

2024/02/21

There are some people who like their life planned out to a T, months in advance of any event (like Jill!) aaaaand then there are those that wait until the last possible second to confirm anything and leave the rest of us biting their nails (*ahem* like Danny-J). There are benefits to planning ahead for sure, but those who wait til the last minute have their reasons, too.

Ep. 464: How To Make the Big, Tough Decision

2024/02/16

There will be times in our lives when we are faced with a tough decision, be it personal, business, financial, or otherwise. When we come to these crossroads, we feel lost. What if we make the wrong decision? What if we pick the wrong thing and our lives fall apart? We’ll let you in on a little secret: there is no “right” and there is no “wrong.” Decisions get made, and we figure out what comes next, no matter what. The only real thing to do is take action, and let the chips fall where they may.The

Ep. 463: Your Success Only Counts If You're Attractive

The Best Life Podcast ·

2024/02/14

Whether we like it or not, our society is hyper-fixated on how women look, act, and exist in this world. If you’re single, you’re looked down upon. If you’re married, a lot of your success is attributed to your husband. If you aren’t pretty, you get over-looked. But we all know looks can fade and not even marriage is without risk of ending. It’s kind of like we’re damned if we do, and we’re damned if we don’t. It’s not that we resent the urge to feel pretty—of course we want to look and feel

Ep. 462: How Danny Got Off Her Anti-Depressants

The Best Life Podcast ·

2024/02/10

Danny was always told she’d be on anti-depressants for the rest of her life. As a child, she was told that her brain was “imbalanced” and she’d always have to take meds to feel okay, but as of October os 2022, she hasn’t taken any sort of medication for mental health, and doesn’t see that changing any time soon. It wasn’t an overnight journey, and it entailed some socially taboo and sometimes-frowned upon tactics, but she has never felt better. This isn’t a how-to guide to getting off your

In a world where we’re constantly being bombarded with distractions and anxieties, our mental health is at an all-time low. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and ADHD are being reported in record numbers and it all feels so impossible to fix. Luckily for us, we got to chat with Dr. Laura Gouge, a naturopathic physician who works with women like all of us to treat our mental health problems, especially ADHD, holistically. We’re not against medication here, but our gut health, hormones, and nervous system

When something looks too good to be true… it probably is. We’ve talked about buying followers, downloads, and likes here before but hey, even we aren’t perfect. Recently, Danny saw an opportunity to bury some bad reviews, but unfortunately, things didn’t turn out as good as she’d hoped. This episode is a little embarrassing, but it’s real, and we hope you don’t laugh too hard at our misfortune 😅The time Danny got extorted [1:01]Cutting corners is never worth it [10:26]Why someone leaves a one-star

Ep. 459: The Power of Names

2024/02/01

Shakespeare once asked the question, “what’s in a name?” and lately we’ve been asking ourselves the same thing. After learning that her ex-husband is getting remarried and then running into him and his new fiancee (all in the same week!), Danny has been rethinking what it means to share a last name with her ex. Changing (or not changing) your last name when you get married is always a personal choice, especially because our names, in a way, become a part of our identities. Sharing a last name with
