Steph & Allison discuss the research on how we can add more calming energy in our lives. Boundaries with the news, tackling your to-do list, meditating, taking action to combat anxiety, and more will greatly impact our ability to be calm, cool, and collected on the reg.

But first, what specific symbols resonate with the girls? Allison is loving shutting her mouth for once and cries about a true first-world problem, while Steph is thrilled to be back at the Shack, and has a controversial take on an Apple product.

Steph & Allison discuss the research backed ways we can level up our lives to live healthier, and therefore longer.

The girls get into all this and more, and break down where it all comes to play in their own lives.

But first, a question at the top that has us daydreaming of vacation... but with who? Allison gets into being a pillow princess and struggles with the moments leading up to self-care, while Steph praises herself, goes off about her latest obsession with Love Island USA, and calls out a gross bathroom habit she just can't stand.

No new ep on July 18th, but we'll be back on the 25th!

This week Steph & Allison drill into the ways we build resilience and the research-backed ways we can start to consistently recognize how resilient we are. We have a 100% success rate of getting through the hardest things life throws at us, and yet we still feel the weight of every new thing that comes our way. Understanding the ways we build resilience and belief in ourselves will ease the overwhelm that comes with new or unexpected situations.

But first, what will the gals bring with them if they were stranded on a deserted island? And, Allison channels her inner beach patrol and her beef with big flower, while Steph gushes about her love for women and laments waiting in long lines.

Steph & Allison dive into a cornerstone of the podcast ethos this week: living a more happy life. There are so many research backed ways we can intentionally make our lives happier - from taking a hard look at our schedules to defining our values to the ways we can balance out our dopamine and so much more. The gals discuss it all and where they recognize how their own lives can benefit from these tips.

But first, Allison brings us back to a teenage pastime and lets us know she's hit the last straw, while Steph has a specific product recommendation she *highly* favors and laments about an advertising tactic only fools will opt into.

This week Steph & Allison get into defining personal style! A topic near and dear to Steph's heart and a source of low-key anxiety for Allison. They discuss the philosophies of stylist Allison Bornstein who's approach to personal style is aligned with the ethos of this podcast - fashion as an act of self-awareness, another area of knowing what we like to be in touch with ourselves. They get into where it all began for Steph, why Allison's outlook on style has never been confident, defining Steph's personal style according to Allison Bornstein, and in-real-time they come up with a direction for Allison (McCarthy)! A more light-hearted follow-up to last week's check-in, the girls have fun with fashion.

They also get into the topic of how we present ourselves on social media: are we exemplifying self-love? or are we exemplifying self-interest?

Steph & Allison get real this week, and discuss the ways they feel they are falling short in the goals they've talked about so far. Trying to find balance between being honest with themselves and where they might be being too hard on themselves, they open up on their thoughts and feelings on how hard it is to prioritize yourself and your needs in a world that praises productivity. We are the only ones who can change our lives, so where are there excuses that essentially mean we don't actually want to change, as our excuses are where we are comfortable?

But first, Steph talks about women checking her out and Allison is hoeing outside in the sun. And, some unexpected moments for both of the gals: pure community blesses Steph on the streets of Boston while Allison has a moment of release with her personal trainer.

This week Steph & Allison discuss ways they can accelerate reclaiming their creativity - from just starting, to fidgeting, to ...doing nothing (?), they get into all the ways research has shown we can tap into ourselves for creative fulfillment. Before they get into that, Allison shares how excited she was to be pooped on and Steph talks about her journey with needles. A check-in from last week reveals Steph is meditating regularly with the help of her skincare and Allison is absolutely thriving in her goals. They touch on how anxiety often times creates a fear that stops you from going after what you want, breaking free of the fear of other people's opinions, and letting go of the idea of perfection in your pursuits. At the end of the episode Allison practices loving self-awareness and Steph manifests one day wearing The Row.
