Endeavor

We are wrapping up Season 3 with another cozy Hygge Special!

What do new glasses, yellow rain jackets, and men have in common? They're all nightmares. ;) In this episode we discuss our plans for the apocalypse, who our superhero friends would be, what weird things give Jess the chills, Paige's disturbing dream about Jess, men's dumb assumptions about us, and more!

We are learning that debate episodes are some of our favorites! Please enjoy another episode packed with more wacky debates. Including: are clowns scary? how should a dog wear pants? and would you let an evil snail follow you around the globe for a billion dollars? Listen in to find out where Paige and Jess land on the side of each of these debates plus many more!

Enjoy a "Hyggalicious" episode of Endeavor with our guest Joanna!

In this episode, after speaking briefly on our disdain for ASMR and dog tongues, Jess opens the floor to talk about imposter syndrome and what it means for us. Paige did not enjoy this topic.

Paige and Jess (or is it Brandy and Christiana?) talk about everything that has to do with names!! What nickname does Jess hate? How on earth is Paige short for Petunia? Jess must avoid being known as Jeff. And is it even a surprise that Paige wishes to be named after a dog? Lend an ear and think about what your name means to you!

We had so much fun talking about our comfort movies in a previous episode that we had to take a turn down the lane toward TV shows! Why does Jess have more comfort TV shows than movies? What characters do we identify with the most? Who are our TV dads of choice? Listen to find out, and suggest more shows for us to check out at @endeavorpodcast on IG!

You know that Jess and Paige often end up debating and defining different topics in various episodes... So this episode is fully dedicated to tackling some of the world's greatest and funniest debates! Are there more doors or wheels in the world? Are there more teeth or legs? Are hot dogs sandwiches? Team Edward or Team Jacob? Listen as Paige and Jess take their sides and then decide where you stand on the world's greatest debates! 

We all have them: those movies we can watch again and again without fail when we're having a bad day or just need to unwind. This week we discuss what makes a comfort movie as we each reveal our top-tier films to watch on repeat.

Have you ever thought about how everyone has a unique personal vocabulary? If you are from Pennsylvania it might include: "Spritzing" and "Yinz." And if you are from other parts of the world it could include sayings like... "Don't get your beard stuck in the mailbox!" or "Baptize it already!" Jess and Paige discuss the things that make us all sound a little extra special!

If you struggle with finding a book that you like, or if you struggle with reading period...well you can struggle along with us! Paige and Jess don't really have much advice about how to find those books that vibe with you just right. But they describe which books are in their good graces and some of the reasonings as to why. Listen to what earns a book points with Paige, and celebrate with Jess as she announces her reading victories from this past year!

We're so sorry about this. In this episode, Jess tries to share everything she learned about hygge after reading Meik Wiking's "The Little Book of Hygge," and considering neither of us can quite say this Danish word properly, it gets a little chaotic. Join us as we learn how to have a most hyggelig time and what that means when it comes to a person's happiness.

We're back and we're casual! We're just warming up and getting back in the swing of things, so in this episode we're talking about what brought us back to the microphones, how we've changed since our last episode, and all of the crazy phases of the pandemic we went through. Is Jess a vegetarian now? What completely un-productive thing did Paige just purchase for herself? Listen to find out.

It's the holiday season, and our season 2 finale! In today's episode we play a special holiday edition of "Would You Rather" and talk about the challenges of Christmas in Covid.

Small businesses have never been more important, so we've decided to break down our own small business endeavors in today's episode! Listen as we discuss the goals, successes, and challenges associated with our own side hustles.

Don't be scared listeners! In this week's episode, your hosts dive into the rational behind irrational fears. Paige and Jess discuss the logic underneath their fears along with how to cope or overcome them.

It's the episode all about musicals! Whether you're a diehard musical theater fan or a non-believer, come and gather inspiration for your winter 2020/21 lockdown binge list as we count down our top 10 favorite musicals! What are our no-skip musicals? Did Hamilton make it on a list? How long will it take before we mention Jeremy Jordan? If you enjoy hearing two friends gush about stuff they love, this is the episode for you!

It's funny how when you can't do anything... you want to do everything! In the midst of a pandemic, Jess and Paige discuss what's on their bucket lists and how hard it was for Paige to make one. Dream with us as we count down our Top 10 bucket list items!

It's an episode all about pets! Join us as we trade tragic pet stories, Jess advocates for cats, and Paige discusses a problem that she absolutely does not intend to fix.

Having a hard time keeping up with the latest #CancelCulture trends? We are too! This week we're discussing the exhausting premise of Cancel Culture. Are we doing any good by adopting a mob mentality and #Cancelling people left and right? Or, does the key to real change lie in empathy and understanding?

We're each counting down our Top 5 best discoveries in 2020! What has happened to our taste in music and movies? Is Paige a good house plant mother? Who is the new man is Jess's life? The answers to these questions and more are ahead! Please note: There were so many bloopers in this episode that we just decided to keep most of it in.

Paige has been anticipating this topic, Jess has not! We are talking about leadership. What does it take to be a good leader? Follow Paige and Jess on a journey through different leadership styles to discover what styles you might use! Your hosts also talk about their strengths and weakness and how having self-awareness might be the key to it all...

Is social media helping us or harming us? Can we take a break from social media without going insane? After watching Netflix's "The Social Dilemma," and being thoroughly worried for society, we discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to living our lives on our social media profiles. #endeavor #endeavorpodcast #socialmedia

DISCLAIMER... We have no idea what we're doing! We're exploring a genre of film and television that tends to have a stigma attached to it. Join us in welcoming Justin to the pod as the three of us discuss our favorite animes and what we like about them! #endeavorpodcast #anime #film #television

It finally happened - we've had our first guest on Endeavor! Welcome our good friend Joanna, our resident "expert" on yoga and meditation. After experiencing their first Goat Yoga session, Jess and Paige each get advice on how to find the yoga style that works for them. This turns into a conversation about stress, and coping mechanisms that may or may not be healthy for us! #endeavorpodcast #yoga #beginners #trysomethingnew #stress #anxiety

We're back for Season 2! Listen as we update you on our strange addiction, Paige's new dreams, Jess's new job, and a recap of a summer like no other. We may or may not have stayed the night in an Airbnb haunted by ducks. #endeavorpodcast #season2 #airbnb #tiktok #summer #mysterytrip #update

We're wrapping up our very first season of Endeavor with a talk about change! Love it or hate it, change is inevitable in life. How do you feel about change? How have you changed since the beginning of this year? How does change coincide with decision-making? Is there anything you regret in life? Ponder these questions with us as we close the door on Season 1 and look toward the future. #change #2020 #optimism #pessimism #regret #endeavor #endeavorpodcast

What is imagination and how do we measure it? Can we discuss imagination without arguing about creativity again? In this episode, Paige gives Jess her homemade “imagination test,” Jess tells of a time she broke up with her imaginary friend, and more. #imagination #selfimprovement #podcast #endeavor

Do you ever feel like a different person among different groups of people? Ever wonder if anyone sees the "real you?" In a totally unscientific experiment, Paige and Jess survey some of their friends and family to get different perspectives on who they really are. #expirament #personality #perspective #quiz #survey #friendgroups

Paige and Jess are trying to keep their sanity as the Quarantine drags on... #quarantine #covid19 #coronavirus #endeavorpodcast #podcastlife

Did Jess spend her grade school education at a child-sized desk in a corner of her house? What the heck is Mole Day and why is Paige sewing moles for chemistry? Paige, having grown up in the public school system, often forgets that Jess was homeschooled and knows very little about how it works and what Jess's education really looked like. Jess, having never gone to public school, has her own questions. Both of your hosts have some wild and wacky stories from their times in high school, but learn in the end that their core experiences really weren't all that different. #highschool #homeschool #publicschool #moleday #endeavorpodcast #podcastlife 

Paige and Jess have stories to tell that involve staring at people's ankles, waking up to fire alarms, and striking a pose on a catwalk. Camaraderie is in abundance on this week's episode of Endeavor! Please note that this was originally meant to be a mini-episode and is shorter than usual due to the current restrictions we are under involving COVID-19. #modeling #gymlife #endeavorpodcast #podcastlife

Why do female archetypes get a worse rep than male archetypes? Does substituting women in the male role just make things worse? How much power should an audience have in the telling of a story? This is Part 2 of a two-part discussion about storytelling, and #PaigeRage is upon us as we take a look at how women are treated in our culture's stories. Paige and Jess also defend writers by expressing their opinions about the feeling of entitlement often found in fandoms today. Spoilers for BBC's Sherlock and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker are ahead. #movies #books #writing #writerslife #endeavorpodcast #podcastlife

What makes a good protagonist? Should you censor yourself when you write? Is it a writer's responsibility to write good role models for young and old alike? Why do we write characters based off of other characters? Paige and Jess start a two-part discussion about storytelling, and Part 1 is all about characters that may or may not be someone the reader should look up to. Spoilers for the Twilight Saga, Ella Enchanted, and Gone with the Wind are ahead. #movies #books #writing #writerslife #endeavorpodcast #podcastlife

Stay calm! But - wait - take this seriously! Paige and Jess sit down to acknowledge the seriousness and insanity of the COVID-19 pandemic and offer their suggestions for how to stay sane in isolation. #camaraderie #covid19 #coronavirus #wereallinthistogether #endeavorpodcast #podcastlife

The gloves are off, and Paige and Jess are ready to settle their argument about creativity once and for all! Who do you think is right? How do you define creativity? This Quest is a follow-up on Episode 5 - How to Live Creatively.

Paige and Jess talk about the joys and struggles of being spontaneous when you have the tendencies of a planner! How can you embrace spontaneity in every day life? Apologies in advance for the technical difficulties with our audio... we're working on it! #bespontaneous #endeavorpodcast #podcastlife

Paige and Jess answer a deep listener question about privilege and self-actualization. They also briefly discuss how insecurities may or may not impact relationships. 

What the heck is creativity? Paige and Jess quickly dive into an argument about what creativity really is and what counts as a creative activity. What do you think? Is singing always a creative activity? Can you get better at being creative? Also, should you paint over your artwork? Is creativity the opposite of being systematic? There are many ways to look at creativity and how we use it in our lives. Aside from partaking in a healthy but convoluted argument, Paige and Jess discuss how creativity is something for everyone! #creativity #becreative #art #music #writing #dance

Do you think you can describe yourself using only music? It might be harder than you think. Paige and Jess discuss last week's challenge and give their insight as to how music can speak to different facets of our beings. Plus, Paige and Jess will reveal their soundtracks and what influenced their choices in music. Take the #mysoundtrack challenge with us! #soundtrackchallenge #musicinyou #personality #music 

What is this? A seven-minute Endeavor episode!? No, this is a mini-episode that we call a Quest! Today we're answering a "Quest-ion" from one of our listeners about what happens when you make friends during a time that was supposed to be your time alone with yourself. Paige and Jess give their take in this quick follow-up to some previous episodes. If you have a question, a comment, or an insight to share with us, send us a message on Instagram at @EndeavorPodcast, or email endeavorpodcast@gmail.com!

Why is it weird to go out by yourself in public? Your hosts had so many observations about their alone-time challenge experiences that they took a whole episode to talk about them!
