Her Best Life

We are jumping on the bandwagon this week as we felt the need to unpack the current Netflix hit, Adolescence. We are chatting about what we loved, what we learnt and what we feel as parents as we navigate a social media world.

We’ll admit, who we were looking for when we started our dating journey is vastly different to what we are now attracted to! Let’s discuss the realities of what we’ve learnt in our various dating eras and why neither of us wants a man with money.

After all the self reflection and work we’ve done on ourselves, there are still moments and people that trigger us to a heightened state, that make us question our worth and activate the negative self talk. We’ve had 2 triggering moments in our last 2 girls trips respectively and we decided to share how this has played out for us both.

Sometimes in life we wait, we sit in things that make us unhappy, we wait to do the things that bring us joy. This episode we discuss what holds us back sometimes, what emotions stop us from living fully and we assess on how we feel we are doing in life! Do we have regrets? What are we proud of?

The time has come for us to consider friends with benefits! This is where we are at! But is it really what we want? Maybe some intimacy is better than none right now?

A negative comment led one of us to a ‘a ha’ moment about how as humans we don’t need to be liked by everyone, and that’s ok! So how do we handle criticism and process it? And how do we avoid going down a black hole and stay in a positive place. And why do we both struggle with one emotion - anger.

We can admit it, in our search for love and healing…we have tried A LOT of woo woo stuff. Healers, psychics, moon crystal clearing, EMDR, demon removal and more. We go through them all and admit what we’ve done over the last few years and what we think actually worked in our quest to finding our best selves.

You know that feeling when someone who you’ve been friends with for a long time suddenly doesn’t feel aligned to who you are – maybe it feels toxic, draining or maybe they are so negative you no longer enjoy spending time with them. Breaking up with friends is hard and we discuss why it’s OK to evolve and not spend time with people who don’t make you happy and why the best thing we can do it honour ourselves. We also identify a friend we think has broken up with us (and that’s OK we respect that!).
