Unknown Brits and Robot Rifts: Your New Year Personal Inventory
We're keeping the healing on the unhinged side as we share holiday experiences, reflect on the lessons learned over the past year, and discuss the importance of setting realistic expectations without being overly self-critical. We talk about gift-giving, the careful balance of celebrating and bragging, and the challenges of avoiding comparison, particularly on social media. We also talk about the fact that Americans don't know who Robbie Williams is, and we make no apologies for that. We cackle about the future role of AI in society, emphasizing the importance doing our own healing work (and having romantic relations with humans, not robots). We wrap it by pulling a card for the collective that highlights personal growth, forgiveness, and the beauty of looking forward to a new year with grace.

Rest, Don't Quit: The Power of Pauses and Shaking the Shame of a Comeback
What does it mean to take an intentional break? When is it quitting? When it is hitting pause? Why do we feel shame when it’s time to get started again? How do we know when we’re ready to start again? When is it “rest” and when is it “laziness?” Is “lazy” a real thing? (Hint: no, it's not.) This week we're talking about how to get yourself going again after stepping back- intentionally or not! There doesn't need to be shame about not being productive, and we're sharing our own experiences and tips as the podcast comes back from its own little pause! Topics this week include: Strength training The plural of octopus Spring Equinox energy and all the spring cleaning vibes Gardening and how 2 hours of pulling weeds can bring up all the metaphors for life Punxsutawney Phil and earthworms as icons of rest Rest as resistance Taking money out of the definition of success Celebrity Fit Club and Bobby Brown On ramps to motivation Doing "the thing before the thing." This weeks challenge: Define your April goals, and then identify the thing BEFORE that thing. Write it down, bring a friend in, or email to us so we can share.

Intentionally Ever After: The grounding magic of living intentionally
Let's explore the grounding magic of living intentionally. We're unpacking the importance and power of setting intentions, and then following through. Moving with the seasons, we're harnessing the power of the Sagittarius New Moon to do some daydreaming and goal setting. This is the time to dream big, yet manage our expectations and show self-grace during the journey. Let's all carve out time for goals and be more intentional with our plans. We dive into the idea of shaking off societal and family pressures, and instead choose our own personal and family holiday traditions intentionally. We invite you to a collaborative intention setting project over on https://www.patreon.com/TheHealingHappyHour (Patreon), fostering a supportive environment for personal growth. Topics this week include: Training ourselves to do things we hate with tiny rewards and cheesecake Boldly living live with the face you were born with (or not, and it's all cool) Overlining lips Strep Throat Bouncing back after a tough week Celebrating how far you've come, even if it's gradually Allowing your voice to be heard The pressure to do ALL THE HOLIDAY MAGIC, even if it's stuff we hate This weeks challenge: Make a list of the little rewards you can given yourself, and join us on https://www.patreon.com/TheHealingHappyHour (Patreon) to set an intention, then and make a plan to follow it through!

The Hot Girls Guide to Beating the Winter Blues
Today's episode is all about something that hits close to home for many of us, especially during these chilly months—Winter Blues and Seasonal Nonsense! Yep, these are the days when it's darker than your coffee and your dopamine receptors seem to be away on winter vacation without you. You’re not alone- we're here to share our misadventures and triumphs in dealing with the winter funk. Made even more unserious by the ADHD med shortage, we talk about the importance of self-care and mindfulness in maintaining mental health throughout winter months, and meander through stuffing waffles, bidets, and celebrity drama. Join us as we spill the tea on the things that work (running away, Vitamin D and twinkle lights), the stuff that's a total flop (you cannot spend your way out of depression), and everything in between. Spoiler alert: fuzzy socks and a sexy lil boo thing might make an appearance! We've got expert advice, relatable mom moments, and probably a few laughs at our own expense. Topics this week include: The roller coaster of following Julia Fox Vienna gets nosy about Crystal dating Setting boundaries with family The bisexual conundrum of never knowing when a woman likes us back The joy/hell of family photos Bidets and bougie toilets Byron Katie and the 3 kinds of business Vyvanse is on a manufacturer backorder and the ADHD is ADHDing Diddy + Celebrity Scandals and Victim Blaming Seasonal Affective Disorder and Winter Blues Coping with Winter Monotony Indoor kids stuff in the winter sucks Why does public transportation smell so awful in the winter?

Gratitude for the Grumpy Girlies
Can we talk about gratitude for a minute? In this episode, we discuss how gratitude can coexist with various emotions and challenges (including when you're just in a bad mood and don't really want to change that). From previous experiences with gratitude journals that felt like toxic positivity to finding a way to get out of our own heads, we're leaning into the duality of life. We talk about experiences in finding gratitude in the small joys of life and the importance of sharing gratitude with others. The episode intentionally confronts the tension that can arise between acknowledging the joy that exists in life, and the fact that we live in a hellscape. So fun! Topics this week include: The fire McDonalds + Crocs collab that resulted in Grimace sandals and we can't stop thinking about them. Is it a cry for help to do an escape room all alone because you can't trust anyone to take it seriously enough? Is it gratitude or is it toxic positivity? Bob Ross sleep stories on Calm Internal vs External gratitude practices Seasonal pressures This weeks challenge: Say thank you to someone else.

The Healing Happy Hour
Welcome to the Shadow Side
With a dollop of Daisy sour cream and a dash of anxiety, we’re enduring the burnout and embracing the wisdom, extracting lessons from our experiences and finding inspiration in THE Monster verse (you know which one.) Drawing from our collective wisdom, we touch on the need to value our talents and challenge societal norms that lead us to undersell our abilities. Every ounce of wisdom is a reminder of your inner strength and your power to demand what you deserve. We’re exploring a seasonal approach to our own healing, discussing how shifts in nature's rhythms can influence our habits and experiences. This time of year, we dive into shadow work. As we peel back layers of the self, we introduce practices to confront negative spaces and reclaim our power. We'll share some of our shadow work exercises that emphasize self-compassion, understanding triggers, and embracing all aspects of ourselves. Lastly, we are not shy about navigating through the uncomfortable and the vulnerable. We confront our fear of asking for help, dissecting how our upbringing impacts our emotional expression and our approach to vulnerability. We discuss the power of speaking up and advocating for ourselves in difficult situations, affirming the importance of being heard. Remember, finding the courage to seek help is not a sign of weakness but an act of self-love and strength. So, join us, sit back, and let's unravel the threads of self-discovery together. Topics this week include: If you dip strawberries or other fruit/sweet/cold stuff into sour cream or if you eat sour cream on your own, please contact us. We’re not mad, we just want to talk. Telling old folks just how awful they are and letting the chips fall where they may. You can’t unknow stuff, and we be knowin’. Sometimes that hurts. If you can command $50k for a verse with no album out, ask for it, because when someone sees your value, they will pay it. Don’t discount your rate for the broke ones that can’t afford you. Embracing a seasonal cadence to healing work, healing toolkits, and a virtual healing circle in our http://patreon.com/TheHealingHappyHour (NEW PATREON OFFERINGS)! What is “Shadow Work,” where to start, how to know if you’re ready for it, and a real-time example of jumping in. Listening to what resentment is telling us. Digging into the messages we internalized, where they came from, and deciding if they’re true or not. When the birth plan is to deliver your babies like a feral cat. Buying a car is an awful experience. Horror movie themes as a societal mirror showing us what we’re afraid of. The power of a good apology. Dime bags from Temu. Gold stars from therapy and healing work. How to find a therapist (thanks, BetterHelp!) This weeks challenge: make a note when big emotions come up, acknowledge what triggered them in the moment, and begin to see where the patterns are.

Stop Dragging your Inner Child
We've all had those moments where we stumble upon an old photograph and get hit with a rush of nostalgia, right? Maybe it's hearing a Taylor Swift song, making a milkshake, or playing Mario Kart that bring back memories. Join us as we uncover the significance of how past experiences have shaped us, and how we can move forward with intentionality toward healing. This episode shines a light on the concept of reparenting ourselves as we unravel how early experiences create our worldviews and how we can harness the power of neuroplasticity to rewrite our narratives. We delve into the importance of self-care, reparenting ourselves, and how setting boundaries can sometimes require a bit of tough love for ourselves. In addition, we examine the profound impact of healing and unlearning for our inner child. In our reflections on childhood and growth, we find strength in acknowledging that all of our ages and experiences are still within us. We discuss rewiring negative self-talk, practicing self-compassion, and reconnecting with childhood joy for healing. From reminiscing about Taco Bell to indulging in nostalgic activities like playing Nintendo, we discover the simple yet profound ways to reconnect with our inner child. Topics this week include: Pets Taylor Swift Eras Tour Movie Dreams and subconscious exploration (what do dreams about shoes mean? What about that dream about being unprepared for an exam?) What is shadow work? What is this inner child stuff? Mean mommy and gentle parenting Homework battles Reparenting and setting boundaries Mario Kart Taco Bell Reconnecting With Childhood Joy This weeks challenge: Save a picture of little you in a place where you'll see it often. Write a letter to yourself as a child. Tell them what you wish someone would have told you then. Reconnect with your favorite childhood activities and have an "inner child playdate."

Affirmations: Bringing the delulu closer, one thought at a time
It's more than Lucky Girl Syndrome, The Secret, and manifestation. Affirmations are the words we use to set our brain, hearts, and bodies on the path we want to take. Living in a world that seems hell bent on teaching us we're not (good, right, hot, productive) enough takes intentional reconditioning, and creating our internal monologue is a great place to start. Affirmations are scientifically backed, and give our brain an alternative to internalized, self-defeating thoughts and instead help us create new neural pathways toward confidence, happiness, and less anxiety, making that the default in our brains over time. Join us this week for a conversation about the power of affirmations, how to incorporate them in your own life , where to find the words, and even some of the science behind how they work. We also talk about how to move forward when it feels fully delusional and where the limitations come into play. Topics this week include: Making the Band 2 and the chokehold Diddy had over MTV in 2003 Cheesecake Factory (turning into a recurring segment) Tall Auras Government funded girls trips Getting an A in honors therapy via extra credit projects September 2023 Full Moon in Aries (our harvest moon and feeling that warrior energy) Neural Pathways and neuroplasticity Budget time travel and writing notes to yourself This weeks challenge: Find 3 affirmations that speak to you (be specific!) and find places to integrate them into your life.

Still My Bestie: Friendship, Part 2
We couldn't possibly wrap up the friendship convo in one week, so here's part two. There's too much to say about friendship, and somehow, not enough words in the English language to cover it. Join us this week for a conversation about the unique heartbreak that is the bestie break up, grieving the death of a friend, making new friends, and how we're still chasing the high of us all being Girls Together in Summer 2023. We also get into tips for making new friends (it helps to get weird, and fast!) and rekindling conversations with old friends. Topics this week include: Sick kids and mom guilt (hate it, sorry) What is your version of the Roman Empire? The regret of a lost friendship Girlhood Summer 2023: Beyonce, Taylor, and Barbie The magic of the women's bathroom at the bar Girl Fights, Real Housewives, and how capitalism benefits from tearing women apart Gremlin time, Barnyard animals, and the friends you can't take anywhere (it's us, hi, we're the problem, it's Crystal and Vienna) Tips for connecting with new people, and how to foster a new friendship in the awkward early days How to tell a new friend about pooping in your pants This weeks challenge: Reach back out to an old friend that you lost touch with- tell them what their friendship meant to you. Take a chance and connect with someone new.

That's My Best Friend! Why we need friendship in our lives
Most days, our besties are the ones carrying us through. They might be in the office next to us, living in a group chat, or a little more remote, but so many women come to rely on these essential relationships. Research even points to better health outcomes for people with close friends. Join us this week for a conversation all about besties! How do we make friends, how do we keep them, and how does society view female friendships in general? Topics this week include: All or nothing wellness mentalities and how that sets us up for failure. Passions, and what ever happened to the middle schoolers who watched it obsessively (It's us. We're making podcasts.) Why do we have to ask people for help, why can't they just read our minds? Adult Birthdays and all the feels. A card pull for the new moon in Virgo. The specific love language that is sending the most unhinged memes and TikToks to your friends with zero context. Picking best friends the first day of school, and why they're probably one of the students who sat near you. The Emo Kid 2004 to Sad Girl 2023 Pipeline Was the Avengers HQ just a long-term slumber party girls weekend? This weeks challenge: Connect with a friend you're missing! Share this podcast episode with YOUR best friend! Tell the friends you take for granted exactly why you love them so much!

Be Present and Buy Some New Bedding
We know, it’s HARD to be present and sit in the moment when you have a million things on your plate. And we all have a million things now. When the world tells us that who we are right now isn't enough, it's tempting to try to live in a fantasy version future when you'll have a better job, more time, more money, a cleaner house, better listening kids- but if we take a moment, we know that there's way more joy in the current moment than we're currently tapping into (and that the future doesn't hold that fantasy either- just even more hoops to jump through and kids that still don't listen. ) Join us for a conversation about why it's so hard to be present, why our brains fight it, and how we can practice sitting with ourselves (even in the Target aisle when we're having a meltdown picking out new bedding). Topics this week include: Cheesecake Factory life goals Trashy neighborhood gossip Productivity culture Why we hate the term "self care" Why tf do kids like tape so much? Being alone with our your own thoughts (it won't kill you!) How we lost our minds during the pandemic Who profits off our our dissatisfaction with ourselves? Grounding techniques you can use TODAY Are little kids actually great at meditating and we lost it somewhere along the way? Incorporating the 5 Principles of Reiki into your day Clubbing in your 40s (and wearing business casual to the clurb) Finding the great genitalia in the sky This weeks challenge: give yourself ways to find moments of joy in being present.
