Making money is an important part of life—you need it to live! But it’s far more important to build a money system that takes care of you, so that if at any time your ability to earn money goes away, you’re still set up to live a happy life. Today, we have Mel Abraham on the show to open a dialogue about money because, as Mel says, financial freedom is your birth right, and he’s on a mission to help you get there. Plenty of us dream about being wealthy, but there’s a difference in having wealth and having a rich life. With your money machine running, you’ll be able to have both.

There’s this phrase we’ve been seeing online lately, maybe you’ve heard of it. Women and girls keep talking about things men do that give them “the ick” and we’re a little lost. Some people are saying things as basic as putting cream in their coffee gives them the ick, and others are saying that even a man wearing a hat is ick-worthy. Is there anything a man can do that *doesn’t* give the ick? Or are we fundamentally misunderstanding the concept of what is and isn’t giving ick. There is one thing we can all agree on though: the people getting the ick over stupid hats are right. No one needs to see that.

There are a million tasks on our to-do lists that we need to get done—and we don’t want to do any of them. There are so many little things we should be doing on any given day and the mental load of trying to remember them all is fucking exhausting. We know we should be eating healthy, going on walks, going to the gym, getting dental work, filing taxes, doing laundry, responding to emails (and the list goes on…) but goddamn it, we don’t want to! If you’re feeling the same, maybe it’s time we all cut our losses and get some help for the things we know we need to do but don’t, no shame necessary.

Custody battles can be ugly, especially over the one thing most important in our lives: our dogs. When a relationship ends, everything that was once “yours” as a couple needs to be divided up, including the pets. Sometimes it’s straightforward—if the dog likes you more, we say you get to keep it—but what if your ex still wants time with the dog? Can you split custody of a pet without it being a red flag for new partners? But most importantly, why do men have the audacity to think that they get to keep the dog when we’re the ones taking care of it? 💁🏻‍♀️

Attractive people just get more out of life, whether we want it to be true or not. But when you’re dating someone who’s just really attractive, it means they get a lot of attention, and it’s not always a good thing—for them, or for you. But hey, even if your partner is the hotter one in the relationship, maybe you should be proud instead of insecure. After all, you’re the one they fell for, even if you are ugly (😜). Of course, you can always sabotage your partner’s looks, or even better, only date people who are slightly less hot than you. Or we guess there’s the healthy way to cope, by working on your own insecurities. But that seems less fun.

You need to get a life. No, really. We don’t mean it as an insult—and trust us when we say this applies to us as well—but sometimes as girlfriends, wives, mothers, or just people pleasers in general, we spend so much of our lives doing so much for others that we forget to leave room to do anything for ourselves. For whatever reason, we lose ourselves, and it’s about time you dedicate some time and energy into doing something just for you. When you start doing things for you—when you get a life—you become a happier, more interesting person, you’re able to pull yourself out of a funk, you improve your relationships, and you finally get excited about your own life.

Sometimes the easiest way to keep up with friends is to follow along with their lives through social media, but people fall through the cracks, and occasionally you’ll see a friend posting a picture of their baby when you never knew they were pregnant to begin with. We aren’t besties with every single person we’ve ever had a friendship with, and there are plenty of people we care about but don’t always click with, for whatever reason. But in our experience, if you want a friend, you have to be a friend, and that looks like showing up for each other, being vulnerable, and allowing yourself to be seen in your full-humanity.

In 2020, Danny J and her boyfriend decided to experiment with starting a Shopify business, and in the process, they learned a lot. Starting an online business doesn’t have to look like starting a personal brand, and anyone can build one as long as you have the tenacity required. It may take some trial and error, but if you can learn as you go, you can build a thriving business without ever having to show your face.
