Navigating Grief, Guilt, & Protecting your Peace

Navigating Grief, Guilt, & Protecting your Peace

We are REUNITED. Haley returns from Peru with a full recap, she got up on her first surf attempt entoncessss Surfer girl era officially unlocked. She also runs into an ex, instead of spiraling she clocks how far she's come in her self love journey and we are so proud.  Brianna attended Ryan Castro's landmark homecoming concert and experienced the kind of energy that only exists when an artist performs for the city that made them. We dabble in some Digital nomad talk and discuss the traveler mindset, how it fits our lifestyle, how it doesn't, and what that tension actually feels like. Then, Brianna goes to see the Thai film: How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies. She cries the entire way through... sad girl vibes. We get into grief, the pain of loss, how loss has a way of reorienting everything, and what it makes us want to prioritize moving forward.  Haley then gets into the guilt of creating distance from loved ones to protect her peace, romanticizing what relationships could be versus accepting what they are and Brianna takes us into the dark night of the soul territory and ego deaths. We then close out on the nice guy debate... the balance between passion and safety, whether the spark is real or just your attachment style talking. Being excited when dating is okay. We said what we said 💁‍♀️

Food Delivery Disasters, Discernment Eras, and IS The Bush Back?

We open on a banana bread delivery disaster and the veryyy specific rage that comes with putting in the conscious effort to order a sweet treat only for it to go wrong. Delivery culture brings out a side of us we are not proud of and we are not apologizing for it.We discuss cultural differences when living broad, and get into the cultural whiplash of US urgency versus Colombian tranqui energy. We learn from both cultural attitudes. Catholic shame gets a moment. Growing up with the sense that certain body parts were a little dirty and very private. Which leads us naturally, into the great bush debate. Is it back? Is it not? Different styles, preferences, how it ties into the patriarchy, and somehow we end up confused between talking about body hair and George W. Bush. It's called rangeeee people. We close on Haley being born without a filter and learning to use one, Brianna being unfiltered in private and working on owning all parts of herself publicly. Growth.

Great Latino Awakenings, Chet Hanks, & Scallops

Our Zodiac people, this one's for you. We kick off with Brianna going on a date with a mystic and Haley talking astrology with her mother and predictions for her upcoming trip to Peru. Brianna then gets into honoring her grandmother's intuitive gifts and palm reading 🔮🪬 Then Brianna attempts a Chet Hanks deep dive with zero. context. Why you ask? We are still unclear; however, she then proceeds to ask Haley what she thinks. Synopsis: White boy swag, tattoos, nomadic lifestyle, and red flag vibes. Unfortunately, we are fully on board and we say this with love.Dating and approaching styles take over and Haley has zero gray area and comes in full guns blazing, meanwhile Brianna takes an L from Haley and admits she needs to step up her game and can be a bit cringe. We get into first moves, why we think casual beats dinner for a first date **most times, and Haley's discernment era of simply not fighting for a man who isn't interested. Brianna chats about wanting to be the spiritual one in a relationship while her partner stays grounded. We loveeee a spiritual baddie lifestyle. We close out on spirit guides, cheek kissing as a greeting being genuinely uncomfortable in the US, the 90s straight hair era vs embracing your curls, and our one 👏 dating 👏 non-negotiable 👏 If we're dating someone, there MUST be touching at all times. Always. Thank you.

Toxic Boundaries, Energy Vampires, & The Manosphere

We're BACK babyyyyy. Welcome to week 5 of being Consciously Delusional! This week we kick things off talking about the people we surround ourselves with and why spending time with those who fill up your cup changes everything. Hermit mode is mentioned, Haley accidentally says hobbit mode... the Frodo energy is immediate and in full throttle. Boundaries are up next. Where they help, where they tip into overdrive, and when you just need to show up anyway. Sometimes you have to give a little, and we discuss where that balance actually lives. We also get into weekly horoscopes and make the case that a little madness and delusion might be exactly the boost you need.⚡️ Then we pivot. The manosphere documentary and why we found it hard to watch, Haley's red pill IG explore page takeover gets a mention, and we discuss why we love men who provide and lead but absolutely do not support the movement. Brianna uses the word nuanced approximately one hundred times. We continue. We wrap up on something we both feel deeply. How grateful we are to be women, how cancel culture has made most people terrified to say what they actually think, and how polarized things have become. We've lost the art of disagreeing and we'd love to find it again. Opinions can differ. Lead with curiosity. That's all. 💁‍♀️

Summer House Scandal, Big D**K Energy, and Aura Farming

We're coming in hot this week... Haley, our resident pop culture correspondent, breaks down the Summer House drama that took over the Bravo Nation... why did Amanda do what she did, why did Wes get off so easy, and how Rihanna apparently slid into Ciara's DMs about Michael B. Jordan. This breaks Brianna's heart and her pipe dream of marrying him takes a hit. We also get into the Kit Kat heist, corporate greed, and Haley shares why Nestlé is cancelled in this household. From there, we chat about the WSJ study claiming kids do not bring happiness and what we want for ourselves personally. Brianna shares a genuinely moving cacao ceremony experience and the unexpected connection she felt to her grandmothers on both sides. Then we talk about how the gym can feel like a porno when people start stretching. Range. We wrap up with how we'd feel if a friend dated an ex and Brianna calls Dory from Finding Nemo "Doris"... We move on.
