Ep. 308: Why Turning Your Hobbies Into Businesses is...

The Best Life Podcast ·

2022/08/19

Everyone needs a hobby, but should every hobby be monetized? We’ve all heard the saying, “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” We call bullshit on that. Yes, we love what we do most of the time, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have moments where we hate it juuuust a little. That’s true of any hobby-turned-business; when you start to put pressure on something you love, you might feel a little less joy from it. So maybe you can make a little side income from your photography or

Ep. 307: To Rest or Not to Rest?

The Best Life Podcast ·

2022/08/17

Rest is super important, especially in a society that’s always pressuring us to do more… buuuuut sometimes you just don’t want (or need!) it. When is the right time to rest, how much should you take, and how do you even know if you need it in the first place? We hate to say it, but sometimes you kind of need to earn your rest. It’s all about knowing what season of life and business you’re in, and deciding from there. More isn’t necessarily better, and that goes for work AND rest. An internal and

Ep. 306: The Pros & Cons of Rituals and Routines

The Best Life Podcast ·

2022/08/12

There are a lot of mentors and gurus out in the personal development space touting their specific routines and rituals as a pathway to success. Sure, a consistent routine might be beneficial for you, but no amount of cold showers on infrared light therapy at 4am is going to change your life. Sometimes too rigid of a routine can interfere with your Best Life along the way. Routines can be great, but there’s some benefit to going without, too. What are the things that truly push you forward? Focus on

Ep. 305: What Makes A Marriage A Failure?

The Best Life Podcast ·

2022/08/10

What makes a marriage a failure? Are people who get married and divorced shortly after somehow less than the rest of us? Of course not! Most people aren’t getting married knowing it will end, and there’s no way anyone can know the inner workings of a marriage, anyways. And a long marriage isn’t necessarily a happy or healthy one, either! All that matters is the happiness and personal growth of the people directly involved in the marriage. That seems like true success.Is an ended marriage a failure

Ep. 304: Are You a Failure for Hiring Out Chores?

The Best Life Podcast ·

2022/08/05

Nobody likes putting away laundry. Well, maybe you do. But it’s a chore we hate, and there’s probably something you hate doing (or just don’t have time for) too. At some point, you have to stop doing everything by yourself! Hiring someone to do your dishes, or mop your floors, or watch your kids doesn’t make you a failure, it just means you have more important shit to do! That’s the Best Life. Hiring out the inane tasks—whatever they may be—to save yourself the mental energy and spend time on what

Ep. 303: Differing Money Mindsets in Your Relationship

The Best Life Podcast ·

2022/08/03

Money is a sensitive subject. For most of us, the way we think about, save, and spend money comes straight from our childhood and our parents’ habits. Then, when we start to factor in a partner’s money habits, things start to get even more complicated. Maybe one of you saves every penny, while the other loves to spend on the finer things. What we do know is that nothing changes if you don’t talk about it. So if you and your partner are in need of a Money-Mindset-Makeover, it might be time to have a

Ep. 302: How We've Stayed Friends and Business...

The Best Life Podcast ·

2022/07/29

We’re 300 (and 2) episodes in! We’ve always joked about running out of things to talk about, and we finally did. Only a little kidding about that. Some of our best conversations come from our deep friendship, and that’s something we’ve been able to maintain over the past 5 years through relationships old and new, moves to different cities, business decisions, family matters, and everything in between. Finding and keeping friends is harder than it seems, but here’s how we keep ours going strong

Ep. 301: Being Wrong Isn't the End of the World

The Best Life Podcast ·

2022/07/27

Making a mistake isn’t the end of the world (even if it really feels like it.) A lot of children are conditioned to fear “messing up” and those children turn into perfectionist adults. Sure, perfectionism might take you “far” places, but at some point, that same perfectionism is going to stifle your creativity and keep you stuck in the same places. If you want to go even farther, you have to learn to embrace your mistakes and give yourself grace when you’re wrong or you’ve messed up. You’re tougher

Ep. 300: The Negativity in Body Positivity

The Best Life Podcast ·

2022/07/22

The body positivity movement has been life-changing for so many people. Bodies come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and we ALL deserve to love ourselves, however we look. But we’ve noticed a weird trend, where body positivity turns… well, negative. Now if you show up online as a thin person, you’re shaming people who aren’t. Or if you express interest in losing some pounds or gaining some muscle, you “don’t love yourself.” The body positivity movement is incredible in a lot of ways, but something

Ep. 299: The Grass Is Always Greener (Until It Isn't)

The Best Life Podcast ·

2022/07/20

The grass on the other side of the fence always looks greener… until you get over there and it’s covered in ants or dog shit, or maybe it was just spray painted green. And at some point, you’re still going to have to water and mow it. The grass may look greener, but that doesn’t make it “better.” Spoiler alert: we aren’t actually talking about grass. We’re talking about everything: relationships, jobs, friends, homes, you name it. It can be so easy to compare the same old things that we have to

Ep. 298: Who Are You Posting For?

The Best Life Podcast ·

2022/07/16

When you have a personal brand or online business, you get a lot of comments from the peanut gallery—and by that, we mean that strangers feel like they get a say on what you post. Some times we get accused of posting pictures of ourselves for male attention. We definitely aren’t, but even if that were true… who gives a fuck? Your social media, your rules. Maybe what we post can be a little polarizing at times, but that’s how we’ve found amazing people like you who really GET us. So be a little

Ep. 297: Shiny Object Syndrome in Business

The Best Life Podcast ·

2022/07/13

If you’re brand new to business, there are a million different things you could be doing at any given time. You might be falling prey to shiny-object syndrome, just chasing after whatever seems like it’ll bring you success the fastest. But if you keep changing things up without any real commitment, you’ll never know what really works for you. Just like you wouldn’t switch from making cake to pie halfway through the recipe, you shouldn’t shuffle your business around every so often. Beginners seem

Ep. 296: Overcoming Food Scarcity and Dysfunction

The Best Life Podcast ·

2022/07/09

Yes, food is fuel but it is so much more than that. Food is community and connection, and honestly, sometimes that shit is simply delicious. We used to be those kinds of people who weighed every ounce of food and cried if you asked for a bite—aka, we were obsessed and dysfunctional. Now we can share food without a second thought and it no longer has the same kind of power over us. If you’re stuck in an unhealthy relationship with your food, know that food freedom is possible! It takes a little

Ep. 295: Supporting a Choice You Disagree With

The Best Life Podcast ·

2022/07/06

Have you ever felt emotionally hijacked when a loved one told you a choice they made that you didn’t agree with? Or maybe you’re the person who’s friends or family seem to judge every action you take. Even though someone’s choices rarely have anything to do with us, it can be a struggle not to take it personally. Like most things in life, it’s best to stay in your own lane as much as possible, and in the end, you’ll be a lot happier and a lot more free because of it. Supporting someone when you

Ep. 294: The Threat of "Overly Confident" Women

The Best Life Podcast ·

2022/07/01

We’re all about female empowerment and confidence building here on The Best Life, but sometimes when we see another woman out there crushing it, our egos take a little hit. Why is that? Maybe we feel a little threatened, or maybe our societal conditioning tells us that women are supposed to be meek and insecure. Frankly, that’s bullshit. There’s a different way forward, and it starts with getting obsessed with your own life first. There’s plenty of confidence for all of us. Feeling threatened by

Ep. 293: Abortion, Adoption, and Autonomy

The Best Life Podcast ·

2022/06/29

Last week, the Supreme Court of the United States overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade case that guaranteed the federal right to an abortion, effectively criminalizing abortion in several states across America. You asked our opinion, so here it is: it’s bullshit. Jill has never been pregnant, Danny has, and gave her daughter up for adoption, but their opinions are the same. A women should have the right to choose. She has the right to bodily autonomy. Adoption is not “the answer” and abortion is not

Ep. 292: Overcoming Food Phobias and Exercise Obsession

The Best Life Podcast ·

2022/06/25

We’ve spent a lot of our lives obsessing over food and exercise. We see it happen to others all the time: someone finds an extreme regimen that produces results, then they’re terrified to try something new or give up their diet and exercise regime, which leads them to obsession and food phobias. Maybe you feel like extremes are the only way to keep results, but eventually obsession will break you. Take it from us, there is a better way. Your thoughts don’t have to be ruled by food and you don’t have

Ep. 291: Trusting yourself to Make Better Decisions

2022/06/22

If you’ve made bad decisions in the past, how can you feel like you can ever trust yourself again? Whether its a decision about your work, your relationships, or any other life event, nothing crushes your self-trust more than a choice that went “wrong.” But what if it wasn’t a mistake, even if it ended badly? And what if you could give yourself compassion for doing the best you could? What if—this time around—you make your decisions with more self-awareness and self-compassion and trust that no

Ep. 290: Conflicting Values in Personal Life vs....

The Best Life Podcast ·

2022/06/10

Danny had a business trip planned this weekend… until her boyfriend had emergency surgery to have his appendix removed. Now she’s torn between being a loyal partner, and being loyal to her clients (who she already had to cancel on for this exact meeting). In life, love, and business we often have competing values and priorities, and it’s difficult to know which choice is the right choice. What we think? There isn’t really a “right” or “wrong,” but there are consequences for both. It’s up to you to

Ep. 289: How to Have Hard Conversations

A lot of living the Best Life means having open and honest communication with those around you, but sometimes those conversations are difficult AF. If you need to talk with your loved ones, friends, coworkers, or team about something that might be unpleasant, and you need to know where to begin… Start here. Jill has a framework to share that she developed through tons of hard conversations she had to have as she navigated her ex-husband’s infidelity. The “nagging woman” stereotype [2:52] When do
