Needles & Red: Holiday Stress and How We Can Manage...

Salon Confessions Podcast ·

2023/11/16

The holidays are here again! And so is the stress of over-booked schedules, seeing people you don't always like, and crossing paths with strangers when one or both of you is at the brink of screaming. Stress is part of life, and according to the book "The Power of Full Engagement" by Jim Loehr, it's not actually all bad. But we need balanced amounts of healthy stress to perform at our best. Harper has been overwhelmed by stress lately, and had to revisit all the lessons she's learned over the

Hooray! It's November and the holiday season is upon us! Family time and parties galore! But wait...that also means high potential for drama, the annual dredging up of past conflicts, and that one person that drives you to the brink (and beyond). Holidays can be filled with wonderful moments and challenging memories. They may come with a side of grief, a heaping helping of manipulation with guilt gravy, and Aunt Becky's famous obligation salad. It's the season of feeling like you

What the (Indigo) Frock is with These Affirmations?

Salon Confessions Podcast ·

2023/11/02

In this episode, we take a bit of a detour. Instead of manicure, this time we are recording while Jen's giving Harper a pedicure, which makes it a little different. And most of the time we have a specific in-depth topic we are covering. But this week, we changed it up. See, Jen had given me this cute little bag of cards for Christmas last year called “My little bag of sweary affirmations.” You may have seen them advertised in your Facebook ads. They are super cute, and who doesn’t like a good

Popcorn Days: Mint & Meditation

Salon Confessions Podcast ·

2023/10/12

What are Popcorn Days? Jen & Harper describe them as the days when times are tough, money is tight, your soul is in disarray and you have some growth to do. In times like that, nourishing your body with healthy nutrition is pretty low on the priority list. Having a bowl of freshly popped popcorn and a glass of wine for dinner is easy, satisfies the "crunch" factor and the "warm meal" requirement, and takes one more thing off of the list of to-dos for the day. As a result, our

We talk about A LOT of difficult topics on purpose, but one that we rarely mention is weight. Or more specifically, our mindset about our size, shape, and the number on the scale. While we'd love to have a pure and pristinely positive outlook on our bodies, that's not how it works in real life. In real life, shame comes and goes, comparing ourselves to others comes and goes, and moments we feel amazing come and go. These moments aren't necessarily even related to our actual weight or

Harper was having a weird emotional day and when Jen asked what topic they were going to cover, she said "I just want to tell funny stories and laugh." So that's what they did. And it was very therapeutic. In this episode, we tell stories that made us belly laugh at the time, and we are still laughing about later. Several of them involve peeing. For some reason, that $h!t is hilarious! Then there was the time Harper walked in on her 90 year old grandparents in a very compromising

Is there such as thing as "friend-dating?" It turns out there is - Harper even got friend-picked-up by a woman in a liquor store and 4 years later they are still close friends!

Friendships! These relationships are so important to us, yet sometimes we don't pause to consider whether we've outgrown each other. We hang on to "friends" even when the relationship becomes unhealthy or one-sided. In this episode, we welcome our friend K to the show, and talk about breaking up with friends. We've all had the experience of breaking up with a friend, and it has sometimes felt as painful as the breakup of a romantic relationship. But it's part of

In this episode we explore the differences and similarities between giving up and letting go, and realize sometimes the most grown up thing to do is let go, which our hyper-responsible ego sometimes thinks is quitting, aka BAD, letting myself and others down, failure of the highest form. But it's not quitting to leave the job that's killing your soul, or the relationship that is harming you, or clinging to silence in order to keep *other people's* peace. It's OK TO LET GO friends

It's one of Harper's funniest stories and involves a Christmas tree, a tent, and a midnight meltdown. Maybe you have never heard of it, or maybe you know nothing about it but blame every crazy thing that happens on it. Either way, you will get a lot out

After a moment of morning insight, Harper asks Jen whether adulting is sometimes actually self-care and they realize that even paying stupid bills can be stupid self-care. Once that bridge is crossed, what else will we discover we just need to make a mindshift about? Does adulting always need to have such a negative connotation? Is self-care more than luxury pampering?
