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 mindfulness and a lot of practice, but we’re here on the other side, waiting for you to join us (and share a French fry or two).

The holiday season is just around the corner and with the holidays comes a lot of stress, expectations, and obligations. Fuck that. Just because someone said you “should” spend the holidays with your family (who you might not even like!) doesn’t mean you have to! If it takes away from your peace and joy, it doesn’t have to be a priority. You may end up having a few difficult conversations and you may end up breaking a few traditions, but there’s always time to make some of your own.

We’ve been entrepreneurs for well over a decade now, and we know we have plenty of listeners with their own businesses or with entrepreneurial dreams, so we wanted to talk a little about the problems that come up in the course of doing business. It’s never fun when things go wrong, but struggle is sometimes the price we have to pay in order to meaningfully grow. You’ll never make everybody happy and you’ll grow resentful of your business if you even try, so it’s better to start viewing your problems as a sign of leveling up.

Is it just us, or is Black Friday out of control now? Less than 10 years ago, Black Friday was a one-day event where you’d slap a bitch at Walmart for taking the last flat-screen TV you wanted. Now, the entire month of November (and even into December!) we’re getting inundated with emails and texts and ads about every little thing you could ever dream of being on sale. We love buying things as much as the next person, but didn’t Black Friday start as a way to buy gifts for other people, and not ourselves? And aren’t you starting to feel suffocated by all this shit we keep buying?

Everyone’s been asking the same question for years: can men and women be friends? We see no problem with male-female friendships, but things feel a little more complicated when it comes to your partner’s work-wife (or work-husband for that matter). Being in a relationship doesn’t stop people from falling for someone else, but there are signs to look for and ways to communicate your feelings. Besides, do you really want to be in a relationship with someone who makes you feel insecure? And if all goes wrong, there’s always the option of kicking someone’s ass.

Life is complicated and as much as we would love some straight-forward answers, it’s rare we get any. Lately we’ve been thinking about how our consumer habits might be harmful, and how to deal with trolls on social media in a healthy way. Whether it’s Amazon or Instagram, we can’t run from our lives and our society, so if we want to live the Best Life in this world we were given, we’re gonna need to practice some mindfulness in all the things we do.

Somehow, this is a hygiene podcast now. It was never our intent but either we’ve jumped the shark, or our lives are filled with really stinky people. We were personal trainers once and one thing personal trainers run in to is lots of sweat, and lots of sweat tends to mean lots of stank. It may be an occupational hazard, but no one wants to work closely with someone who smells awful. Telling someone they smell bad is never fun, but it doesn’t have to ruin your relationship with them.

Pretty privilege is undeniable, but did you know that the more attractive you are, the more money you’ll make too? It doesn’t seem fair since our levels of attractiveness are pretty much fixed, but there are ways we can play up what makes us hot. People are always going to judge us for the way we look, so should we be focusing on looking hotter, just to make a little more money?

Did you watch the big fight? You know, the one between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. We were never much fans of fighting, but it seems like the whole world was tuned in to watch Jake Paul get knocked out, but we didn’t get what we wanted. Some people claim it was rigged, while others claim it was unfair to watch a 27-year-old beat up an old man. Personally, we were just glad to get a night off from talking about the election.

Money matters, whether you like it or not. We believe that women deserve to make just as much money—and more!—as any man, and that wanting money is not a moral failing. After our marriages ended, it was more important than ever to be able to provide for ourselves, and we want the same for everyone. At the same time, we want to spend our money exactly the way we want to, while still living abundantly and generously, and of course getting to live a fun life that we fucking love. Money isn’t good or bad, but having access to money sure brings you options.

Danny has a secret weapon in her relationship, and it isn’t therapy. It’s ChatGPT. When things get heated, communicating is hard! Luckily there’s a perfectly neutral third party who has the brains to put together exactly what you want to say. It doesn’t even have to be romantic relationships—Chat can help with professional relationships and friendships, too. If you’re stuck looking for the right thing to say, maybe try asking ChatGPT what they would do.
