In this episode, we are going to talk about getting out of our comfort zone! Whether it is something big, like moving to a new city, or small, like driving a different route to work, we think the fact that you tried anything is impressive! ⁠

We talk about taking small steps in our manifestation episode and how that can make a big difference, and the same could go for stepping out of our comfort zone. Start small and do something like drive a different route to your favorite coffee shop. Mixing up the routine can often be hard for people so just switching one little thing can help you get comfortable with bigger things in the future. It can help you be more adaptable, too.

When things aren’t necessarily going great, you can shift without too much stress because you know there are lots of paths to the same destination.

In this episode, we talk about the mental load and household management. We get into how we each manage our households and what that looks like with our families. We also touch on kids’ chores, activities, and expectations.

The mental load is described as “the often invisible cognitive and emotional labor involved in managing a household and family, including planning, scheduling, and remembering tasks. It's the work of anticipating needs, making decisions, and ensuring everything runs smoothly.”

We came up with 5 ways that can help you lighten the mental load!

1. Family Planning Meetings

2. Visible To-Do Lists

3. Delegate Ownership, Not Just Tasks

4. Celebrate Small Wins

5. Model Asking for Help

Remember, you’re not weak for asking for help; you’re wise.

In this episode, we are talking about angel numbers and human design — and how these tools can actually help you get more in sync with yourself.

Here’s the thing — when you start paying attention to patterns, nudges, and your own natural energy, it’s like the volume on your life turns up. You start to realize what’s really yours versus what you’ve just been carrying.

We love talking manifestation so much and had a lot to say about it, we decided to do a part 2!

This time we get a little more into the science behind manifesting and how it’s not only a fun thing to do but also proven to help reduce stress, build confidence, and give people a sense of purpose. There is a big tie between manifesting and nervous system regulation. They go hand in hand because knowing that you are aligned with the universe in your goals and trusting the process will allow your body and brain to take a breather allowing it space to regulate.

One thing we mention to help get you to a place of least resistance to manifesting is box breathing. The process here is to breathe in for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 4 seconds, out for 4, and then hold again for 4. After a couple rounds of this your body will calm and allow you to be in a place where you can envision the future you want.

Carly mentions the Quantum Theory, which was hinted at above. The theory is that we are all the same energy, and when we are aligned with the universe, things work together to make our goals become reality. It is similar to the power of positive thinking but with a giant universe-size force behind it.

Ask, believe, work, receive.

“When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change.” - Wayne Dyer

Manifesting what you want is no new concept. We remember reading The Secret then creating vision boards and putting out positive energy essentially, doing all the things. There are so many self-help and affirmation-style resources now that come with the idea that we can manifest our futures. But manifesting is only part of the process, the rest comes with action taken on those dreams.

In this episode, we talk about how we manifest our dreams and what steps we have taken to make them happen. We also discuss what we do when things don’t seem to go our way and how we give ourselves grace then reassess our goals. We don’t want to get so caught up in them that we miss opportunities along the way.

We talked about a manifestation journal workshop where we did a guided journaling session that we loved. We were prompted to write 1.5 pages of gratitude for things in the present and then go into future gratitude as if it were already happening for another 1.5 pages. This was a helpful thing for both of us and is a nice fresh way to look at journaling!

Our book recommendation: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig.

One thing that Carly mentioned as a turning point in her life, was when she made the decision to go to Grad School and told her mom she would be 30 when she finished. Her mom’s response, “you’ll be 30 anyway, you might as well have a degree”. We understand that time is going to pass anyway, so why not be working toward a version of our future selves in the process. Think of how happy past you is to see you now. Taking small steps is important on your evolution to the person you want to be. Things are not going to happen overnight; be sure to give yourself grace and allow the right things to come your way.

Past you is cheering you on.
Future you is welcoming you.
Your “you” team is your biggest cheering section.

And remember: “If you build it, they will come” - Field of Dreams
