AM In The PM

WE'RE ENGAGED!

We received a listener question!!

Very soon, we will be living together for the first time. We expect to be moved in by Christmas, which brought up this niche but interesting topic. We and our families are accustomed to us being at our respective parents' houses on Christmas morning. That will be different this year. In addition to that, we'll have to figure out what houses and family members we visit on holidays moving forward.

It doesn't happen too often, but once in a while, one of us makes the other mad. In this instance, Mark was the wrongdoer and Amanda was not pleased. In this episode, we tell both sides of the story and discuss what could have been done differently. Follow our remodeling project on Mark's YouTube channel! -------------------- Have a question?

When you're working towards a big goal, it's easy to look ahead at what life will be like once you achieve it. That's not inherently a bad thing, but don't neglect the present by fully fixating on the future. Live in the moment and enjoy the journey. You'll get there.

What a time to be alive, eh? In the last 18 months, the world has gone mad. People's worldviews are more disconnected than ever before. Everyone has an opinion, yet only some have facts. An incredibly individualized and nuanced situation is being treated with a profitable "one size fits all" approach and many people take no issue with it. It will be very interesting to see how it all unfolds. -------------------- Have a question?

What a week!

We're about to take a big step!

We're on a mission

We've realized that we love to sing. We sat down to film this episode on a different topic and then spent 30 minutes recording ourselves singing duets.

About a week ago, Amanda was feeling down, so she wrote a list of all the reasons why so wasn't feeling great. It turned out to be a great exercise because the rest of the week turned out to be very productive and positive. Sometimes, you need to flush out the negative energy to make room for the good vibes. In this episode, Amanda goes through the list she made in detail and we chat about how this week has been much better because of it. -------------------- Have a question?

Who doesn't enjoy going out to eat? When we first got together, we ate out at restaurants almost every time we saw each other. And even now, because we still live at our respective family's homes, we still go out to eat at restaurants pretty often and sometimes get questioned as to why. In this episode, we talk about how being in a relationship has affected our eating habits, the common criticisms we hear about going out to eat, why we go out to eat often, and much more! -------------------- Have a question?

This past weekend was pretty hectic. Mark's consisted of working at his Grandma's restaurant and playing 5 games in a hockey tournament. Amanda's was spent working out, hanging out with family, and catching up on some things. As we get closer to moving out, we are getting excited about spending more time together on the weekends. We share some updates on where we are in the process in this episode as well. -------------------- Have a question?

Your partner isn't always going to be happy, which is understandable. Sometimes, you'll do something stupid and make them upset. In that case, own up to it, apologize, and learn from it. Other times, they're upset and it's affecting the relationship, but you didn't cause it. This is a more difficult situation to navigate. When the source of the problem is external, you both need to dig a little deeper to find a solution. In this episode, we talk about all of this, plus answer some questions about our relationship! -------------------- Have a question?

We love sleep. Who doesn't? Right now, we don't live together and we have very different routines. This has led to many times where Mark is tired and Amanda is energetic or vice versa. It's a tiny problem, but one that will be at least partially solved later this year when we move in together. Sleep is important, but we also want it to be high quality sleep. Over the past few years, we have both taken steps to improve our sleeping environments. We've done things like try different pillows, upgrade mattresses, and much more. We've had some success and hope that sharing our experience will help you too! -------------------- Have a question?

Even though we don't intend on having children for a few years, we think it's very important to talk about how we plan on parenting. Our goal is to take what we have learned from our solid upbringings and improve on it. We subscribe to the concept of making sure our children have an even better life than we had. In this episode, we go through a list of parenting topics, recount how our childhoods were in relation to them, and discuss how we plan on approaching them when we have kids of our own. -------------------- Have a question?

It's almost time for us to really "grow up".

Over the last couple of years, we've come to realize that life without a certain amount of "risk" is very unfulfilling. Now, we're not saying to do anything super crazy, but we try to always be open to new opportunities. Risk is a very subjective thing. The level of risk associated with an opportunity varies from person to person. Simply put, some people are less fearful than others. For this reason, it's important to understand your own risk tolerance and not judge other people by theirs. Incredible outcomes are born out of rare opportunities. In order to seize those rare opportunities, you must be willing to take the risk. -------------------- Have a question?

We recently heard about the concept of the 5 love languages. Basically, they are 5 different methods to show your partner that you love them. Each person is different, obviously. Therefore, they might have a certain love language that resonates more deeply with them.

We started recording an episode about how important it is to put yourself first. Amanda was telling a story and Mark had to stop it because she was saying "like" much more than she normally does. It's a sensitive and relevant topic, so we decided to talk about that instead. In this episode, we dive deep into why this is the case. It's a different type of topic, but we make some interesting discoveries along the way. -------------------- Have a question?

Way back in episode 16, we talked about minimalism. Mark talked about how it has positively impacted his life over the past 3 years and Amanda couldn't fully wrap her head around the concept. Fast forward to today and a ton has changed. Recently, Amanda wanted to watch "Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things". After we watched it together, Amanda had a much better understanding of what minimalism meant. Then, on January 1, 2021, we watched the brand new film "The Minimalists: Less Is Now". This one inspired Amanda to do even more. Since then, she's started to audit the things in her life and remove the things that don't add value. It's all about intentional living.

Happy New Year! We probably don't have to say it, but 2020 has been one hell of a year. There's been a lot of craziness and some challenges along the way.

We've made great strides with AM In The PM, as well as our other brands and projects we've focused on this year. We want to thank each and every one of you for your support.

We often talk about relationships on this podcast, but we recently had a great conversation about friends and wanted to expand on it in this episode. It's an important topic because it's relevant to everyone. Understanding friendship at a deeper level and working to build stronger, longer-lasting bonds is key for social growth Like a relationship with your partner, friendships can be difficult at times. They require a lot of effort and they vary in intensity as time passes. People evolve and that can lead to friendships growing apart; sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. Above all, you need to do what's best for you. The one thing to remember is that no matter who comes and goes along the way, as long as you're moving forward, you're headed in the right direction. For every friend that fades away, there is a new one to be made. -------------------- Have a question?

The term "Influencer" is a funny one. We feel it has gotten a bad rap because there are many internet personalities that want to call themselves "influencers" without actually providing valuable content and having a positive impact on people. This year, Mark has been trying to do it the "right" way. Learn, implement, reflect, & share; that's been his strategy. Amanda has played a key role in all of it, and now she wants to start something for herself. She's started working on her personal brand and is excited to share it with you all very soon! We've been on a journey this year. We've accomplished a lot and grown more as individuals than ever before. We have big plans on the horizon and we are the happiest we've ever been!

We both have complicated relationships with food. While our current living situations don't lend themselves to healthy eating, that's not a good excuse. Like everything else in life, progress in health is a process. We're documenting our journey and hope our experiences can help others! Mark has been through a couple of transformations with his diet and exercise routine throughout his life, but still is not where he'd like to be. He recently tried the carnivore diet but isn't confident that it's the best choice for him. His biggest issue is overeating. It's something to control now, so it doesn't negatively affect him one day. Amanda has tried some diets in the past but really doesn't want to restrict her food choices. She has some long-term digestive issues that might be improved by something more aggressive like the carnivore diet, but that isn't an attractive option to her. The knowledge and understanding of macronutrients would be of benefit and something like If It Fits Your Macros (IIFYM) might be the best option.
