In this episode, Steph and Steph welcome Selena, a connection coach, author, and speaker, to explore the profound idea that truly connecting with others begins with cultivating compassionate self-connection.

The discussion covers topics such as recognizing that our beliefs, values, and communication styles shape our experiences and relationships; reframing difficult conversations; using hindsight as a tool rather than a weapon; understanding the impact of our evolving values on our actions; effectively communicating our needs to ourselves and others, and the vital role of self-compassion in all of this!

By embracing self-compassion, we not only enhance our own well-being but also create a foundation for more authentic and empathetic relationships with those around us.

This conversation was incredible, and we could have talked to Selena all day. If you feel the same, be sure to:

In this episode, Steph and Steph are joined by our friend Christine (Bio Energetics Master Practitioner), who reconnects us with the most fundamental healing practice—one that has been with us since birth: breathing.

It seems so simple, yet bringing your awareness back to your breath can create powerful shifts.

Whether you’re navigating personal challenges or feeling overwhelmed by the world around you, there is one thing you can do right now to ground yourself—breathe. Take a deep breath. Then another. And repeat.

We also dive into a topics like intentionality, staying grounded through all emotions, and, of course, the bioenergetic synchronization technique (B.E.S.T)

In this episode, Steph and Steph explore the art of self-advocacy. What does it really mean? Why is it so challenging yet so crucial to creating the life we want? And how can something as simple as asking questions strengthen our self-advocacy skills?

We dive into all this and more, sharing real-life stories and anecdotes about what self-advocacy looks like in action!

In this episode, Steph and Steph are joined by our friend Oliver, connecting from across the globe for a deep discussion about all things personal development. Together, we explore why it's important to live in the present regardless of what happened in the past and what it means to define the person you want to become and work toward that goal one day at a time. We talk about embracing challenges instead of shrinking from them, staying committed to the journey despite its difficulties, and adapting to shifting destinations.

Oliver also dives into a concept we've been fascinated by for ages but haven’t discussed on the show until now: 1% Better Every Day. This powerful approach encourages incremental improvements that, over time, create compounding gains. Tune in to discover how this mindset can transform your life.

This was a deep and inspiring conversation, and we couldn’t think of a better way to kick off the new year. We’re so excited to hear your thoughts!

In this episode, Steph and Steph reflect on how, until recently, open and honest conversations about political, social, and cultural issues were often difficult to have. However, the tide seems to be shifting, welcoming a broader diversity of thought into the public sphere. We discuss why this shift is crucial for fostering a healthy, functioning society—one that embraces complexity, nuance, and the many shades of gray that define it.

In this episode, Steph and Steph share their thoughts on the outcome of the 2024 election. We encourage you to listen with an open mind and hear the full discussion before forming your final opinion.

In this episode, Steph & Steph take it back to basics and tackle a question humanity has been wrestling with forever: what does it really mean to be a good person?

It’s a simple yet profound question—one we don’t discuss nearly enough. So, we decided to kickstart the conversation and explore what everyone thinks.

We dig beyond the surface (as always) to reflect on how and why good people act the way they do. We ask if it’s possible to be both good and bad at the same time and wonder if most of us are a mix of both, depending on the moment or circumstance.

We’d love to hear your take on this and the episode as a whole! Drop a comment on social or your favorite listening platform and join the conversation.

Trigger warning!

When it feels like the sky is falling, everything is going wrong, and you just can’t catch a break - it is SO easy to get caught up in a victim mindset.

We get it. Both of us have been there (both consciously & subconsciously) more times than we care to count.

In this conversation, we discuss why staying stuck in that kind of mentality has never been an acceptable option, while also sharing some of the things that helped us move through it.

We hope that if anyone listening to this episode is currently stuck in a victim mindset, this will give you a little nudge in a positive direction. And if nothing else, we hope it shows you that you’re not alone & this too shall pass.
