S1:E1 - Becoming...A New Yorker

S1:E3 - Becoming...Self-Aware

Practicing self awareness can feel like a balancing act. On one end it create opportunities to be more considerate in your relationships and helps you to understand your influence on other, good and bad. But on the other hand when placed in too much of an emphasis, especially through lifelong experiences, it can lead to hyper criticism, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and a fear of failure and success. In this episode Ceci and Brittany discuss the difference between internal and external self awareness and what’s most important: knowing yourself and living unapologetically or prioritizing others and the influence you may have on them. Hear how has this influenced important decisions in our lives, helped us practice grace, and avoid pitfalls that lead to questioning ourselves.

S1:E2 - Becoming...An Adult

There is no way these are the same bills our parents paid. And how in the world did they balance doctor appointments, 9-5 jobs, nurturing relationships, and not to even mention, kids! If there is one thing I’ve learned since living on my own is that all of your responsibilities have a way of jamming to the front of your mind and slapping a #1 Priority sticker on its forehead. In episode #2 Becoming…An Adult Brittany and Ceci discuss their funniest/most embarrassing adulting fails and what it means to give yourself grace even after learning a lesson the hard way. Learn how to manage priorities and create sustainable working habits to stay on top of important items that our parents apparently tackled with ease while walking barefoot for twenty miles through a jungle. Take a listen.

S1:E1 - Becoming...A New Yorker

Transitional periods are never easy and often come about when we feel least prepared. In episode one Becoming…A New Yorker, We describe our uproot and transition to a new city (and no this won’t be a whiny transplant story). We depict the moments where we felt the most lonely, recount our favorite adventures/new haunts, and how we’ve learned to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. Join us as we discuss the moments where we recognized our becoming, embraced it, and learned to navigate it.

The Sister to Sister Podcast: Season 1 - Becoming Trailer

Oxford dictionary defines becoming as the flattering of one's appearance or the process of coming to be something or passing into a state. What remains consistent in this definition is that nothing in the process is added or removed, deemed useless or lacking something, but simply transfigured. That means there is an aspect of grace. You automatically “pass”, succeed, or qualify for the next step. You just have to embrace it. Season 1 seeks to investigate what it means to “become” in new spaces, around new individuals and within new ventures while grasping new responsibilities. We seek to answer the question: what does it mean to become who you were meant to be, how do you know you are in a period of transition and what are the tools you need to nurture this growth. Take a sneak peak listen into what’s in store for season 1.
