Better with Daffnee

Same soul, new habits? Do people really change, or do we just learn how to play nicer? In this episode, Daffnee & Torri dig into the age-old question of whether change is truly possible—or if we're all just polishing the same personality.  From habits and communication styles to mindset shifts and emotional growth, we explore what's fixed, what's flexible, and how to tell the difference. Same soul? Probably. New habits? Definitely possible. Let's talk about the real work of becoming a better version of ourselves—without losing who we are.  

In a world that glorifies hustle and constant accessibility, creating non-negotiables isn't just self-care—it's survival. In this episode, we're talking about the power of personal boundaries, why saying "no" is a full sentence, and how to move through life protecting your peace like it's your job (because it is). Whether you're navigating work, relationships, motherhood, or your own inner critic, this conversation will help you get clear on what matters most—and how to honor it without guilt.  

Note - If you want the contact info for the woman who did my birth chart, message me on Instagram @Daffnee – and I can send you her direct email.    In this episode, we dive headfirst into the cosmic chaos that is millennial life — juggling careers, parenting, mental health, and the eternal question: "Why does Mercury hate me?" We're talking dreams, horoscopes, birth charts, and why astrology feels like the group chat that finally gets you. Is it therapy? No. But will it explain why you cried over a cold cup of coffee and ghosted your to-do list? Absolutely. Tune in for a playful take on how the stars might be running the show — or at least giving us something to blame when our toddler throws a tantrum and our boss schedules a 4:59pm meeting. Because let's be honest: self-awareness is great, but sometimes you just need to know where your moon is.  

Do you rub people the right way? Or the wrong way? This is a can't miss episode folks. Listen in as we discuss values and how those impact your career, work life, and of course your relationships. Hint - This is definitely a top 3 favorite of Daffnee's!   

No but really. And if the meeting was an email, you'd have more time to listen to this show which you absolutely should. Work from home or office, work for a company or own a business, this show is filled with great nuggets about navigating the work place, team members, and managing sh**.  Tune in and level up your career path yall. https://remarkable.com/store/remarkable-2 https://www.boomeranggmail.com/  

Did you know that around the age of 34, a part of your brain actually becomes more active…the part of your brain directly correlated with seeking spiritual meaning? It's true friends. Listen in and as Daffnee & Torri discuss what spirituality means and the role religion plays in our lives as we grow through adulthood.

Sleep. It's one of the very few things we ALL have in common. We all sleep (some better than others), and we all NEED to sleep in order to function well. We're diving into some fun tips and tricks to optimize sleep hygiene, laughing at the idea of getting sleep with small kids, and of course, sharing insights into how normal humans like us actually get (or dont get) sleep in the real world.   

We were originally going to change the name of the show to “Trauma Made Us Funny” but thought we'd better not… But really. Join us as we dive in to one of the most trendy and on brand terms of our generation. Is it warranted? Well we are all a little f***ed up I guess. Join Daffnee and Torri as they explore the deets of trauma, what it is, why we all have a little, and why potentially, it's made our generation so strong.

We think it's fair to say that all of us have some controlling in us and some more than others. But is being controlling self-sabotage? How about relationship sabotage? Or does being controlling serve a genuinely functional purpose? Learn more (and laugh about it all) with Torri and Daffnee in this episode.

To resolution or not? Dive in with Torri and Daffnee as they discuss the benefits (and the not so great parts) of resolutions.  Dry January? More boundaries? Save more? We got ya covered.  

Yall. They weren't playing when they said marriage was hard. And a ton of work. We can safely and confidently say though..it's worth it. An automatic sexy best friend??? YES. Dive in with Torri and Daff as they explore some of the challenges and perks of marriage. Of course, get ready for some laughs and jabs, all in good fun. This is a great podcast for those of you who are married, looking to get hitched, have kids, dont have kids, etc.   

Everyone has experienced burn out…We think. How do we avoid it? How do we get past a season of burn out? How do we minimize the effect of burn out? Listen in as Daffnee & Torri discuss.  

We all know social media can be crappy for your mental health. But let's get real, not everyone wants to ditch it totally. Rather than getting rid of social media, how can we curate it with intention? Join Daff & Torri as they discuss this as well how to deal with the colder and darker days of winter coming up. And of course, be prepared to cackle.  

Calling all millennials. Let's talk about friendships at this stage in life. Because honestly, making new friends can be HARD. Uncomfortable, awkward, and not actually that fun at all. BUT, once you find a friend for life at this stage, there's truly nothing like it. Join us, Daffnee and Torri, as we talk about making friends later in life. On the playground, in your new city, with daycare moms, and more.

My goal this week: HUSH up and listen better. Have you ever met someone who listens really well? And you're just kind of like wow this is such an enjoyable conversation. Tune in to a really special episode with one of my all time favorite people. WARNING: Lots of laughs ahead  

How do we define access? Being readily available to everyone in our personal and professional life all the time is unrealistic! And it can make you feel guilty/bad/stressed. Dive in with me as we talk about being accessible to YOURSELF before others. 

Ever stepped away from something for awhile and find yourself WAY better at it when you return? What if taking breaks from things (even if we love them) is the best thing we can do for ourselves? Maybe pausing from the gym, a hobby, or even a relationship is what we need to come back feeling confident and clear? Listen in...

Life happens and sometimes things are just out of our control, but we have a responsibility to ourselves and others. Today I want to talk about accountability, let's dive in.

We’re scared to set goals because we’re afraid of failure. Learn how to stop being scared of what may happen, and dive in.

We are talking about empathy again. I think that as tragic as this instance is and while I actually don't like using the tragedy of other people to learn something personally, it feels a little bit selfish. 

Why do we think negative thoughts? I really want to talk about this because I personally find myself battling with this all the time because I consider myself to be a mostly positive and optimistic person, but I'm human just like anybody else and when things get challenging or things don't go my way which is all the time.

Not everyone likes you. And that's ok. It's ok to not be liked and it's even better to THRIVE in your own self regardless of who thinks what. Listen on. 

You've heard the term "shi**ing on someone else's lawn doesn't make yours greener" right? Well if not, you will today. Tune in. 

I don't mean paying your bills and doing laundry. I mean the really important things that make or break our happiness, relationships, and life choices. Listen on...

We all do it. For once, I'm suggesting we talk and do less to actually say MORE and say it in a more meaningful way. Listen in. 

We are AWFUL at taking compliments...WHYY. Yes I'm generalizing. Almost everyone I speak to agrees. It's time for a change folks.  Not accepting a compliment makes us look like we lack strength, confidence and sass and WE DO NOT. Don't beat around the bush. Just accept it and move the f*** on. 

Don't get mad! We're all a little high maintenance. But I promise you if you can accept this, you can change it, and you can really get on top of your goals.  Do less to do more...

The problems we face can be STRESSFUL. Debilitating. Scary. Alarming. You name it. But what if we totally conquered those problems before they were resolved? Listen...

Are our experiences in life responsible for our compassion or lack thereof? I think so. Whether you're talking about politics, the current racial/social movement, or things nowhere near as serious, our experiences directly impact our ability to feel compassion for other people, which in turn strongly shapes our opinions. Listen in. 

I never thought I'd be that mom. Surprise surprise, I am. And apparently a ton of you are too. It's SAD when your baby gets older for so many reasons, but also so happy and memorable. Listen on...

Judgement. It's everywhere. But how harmful is it to our perspectives of ourselves and others? Or to those around us? Let's dig into judgement and explore what it means to be less judgmental.

It’s so hard to see the positive side of things when we’re in the thick of it. But what if we started trying? And what if we COULD. How much of a better situation would that put us in? In this episode, we're talking about the bright side. Tune in.

It's about damn time. Finally releasing episode 1 of my podcast and I'm pumped. This podcast is for you if you have any interest in any of the following: parenting, self-growth, career, entrepreneurship, fitness, healthy living, judgement, books, and more. Ultimately, how can we be BETTER in the context of all of these things? Tune in!
