What started as a fun project of just doing the thing has quickly become a 15-episode long season. We are so grateful that you have come along with us for the ride and for all the amazing encouragement you all have shown us. 15 episodes in, we've decided to take a small break to review where we've been, how far we've come, and what's next for Entre Nous.

Advocating for greater gender equality requires all our voices. It's not just a movement for better lives for womxn, greater gender equality benefits men too.

Your palms sweat, your heart races, your mind floods with "What if? What if? What if?"... That's what hard conversations can feel like. And we've ALL had them. 2020 was Steph's year of learning how to have hard conversations. So, in this episode, Steph and Marcus have a conversation about hard conversations. Natch! These are the tough ones about relationships, work -- anything in life that means something to us. And they're hard precisely because there's something at stake for us. So how do we meet these head on? How do we have hard conversations without falling to pieces? Listen out for: The Jedi-like exercise that Marcus is learning, our two stages of preparation for hard conversations, how to have compassionate conversations, Steph's reasons why she doesn't resort to hyper-logical arguments in hard conversations anymore (even though she always wins those

Did you know that Steph used to be a teacher? Or that Marcus studied Electrical Engineering? Between the both of us, we've switched careers multiple times and we're better for it. In this episode, we dive into how we made the switch(es) and more importantly, WHY these changes were so significant for us. We look at where we've been and how they have shaped us into the people we are today. Is it better to plan for your future or just wing it? What's most important when searching for the right job?

Do people with eclectic musical preferences have richer inner worlds? Or are they just weird? Is there a link between curiosity and musical tastes? In this episode, Steph and Marcus discuss the role that music plays in their lives. From the songs that tell the story of their lives to the ones that you are kind of embarrassed about but know every single lyric to. (*ahem* Mambo No. 5 *ahem* MmmBop *ahem*) Listen out for: Marcus' description of listening to Ennio Morricone 'live', why Steph no longer makes music (and why Marcus does), why Steph no longer listens to sad music, Steph & Marcus' discussion about how listening to music is a full body experience.

It's about time we did an episode on this. As coaches, we are all about personal development and inner work! In this episode, we chat about how coaching and therapy are similar and different, how everyone can benefit from both, and our personal journeys in both modalities. Listen out for: Steph's discreet Seinfeld references (let us know if you spot them!), our discussion about the stigma around therapy and why we should normalize it, the value of having a dedicated space that's 100% just for you, and how coaching works.

This podcast began with an article that Marcus sent Steph that Steph obsessed over. Reading is a MASSIVE part of our lives and we're both bibliophiles. In this episode, we chat about all things reading. Why we read, how reading shaped us from childhood, what we read (spoiler: we're not snobs), quaint bookshops, AND our recommendations for must-read books. If you've enjoyed the twists and turns of our conversations, you might enjoy hearing where these ideas come from.

This episode was kind of meta. We used words to explore how words inform how we experience the world. How doe words interact with the world we live in? Does the word we choose to use influence how we experience something? Does being multilingual change how you experience the world? Does Marcus dream in English or German? So. Many. Questions. Join us as we explore all of these questions, unpack the roots of "abra cadabra", The Gospel of John 1:1, and Steph's take on how manifestation and the law of attraction works. In true Entre Nous fashion, we go all over the place and we loved every minute of it. What thoughts do our words spark in your head? Do you agree that paying attention to the words we use changes the way we create the world?

Nägel mit Köpfen machen. Making nails with heads. Wait, what? This week, we talk about just doing the thing! Steph is a recovering perfectionist and Marcus has a strong bias towards action. We chat about doing the thing, not overthinking, getting out of your head, and how all the scary 'what if's' are 90% fiction. Listen out for mentions of chakras, the ugly face of failure, the 5 'So What's', saboteurs, and some freaking amazing energy from the both of us (because we're just so excited about just doing the thing).

Is being alone necessarily lonely? What reflections has being in lockdown sparked for us? How did we go from chatting about being alone to curiosity to talking about therapy? What do we do when we're alone? How do you stay connected when you're alone? Why does Steph book appointments with herself in her calendar? So many questions about something that can be really scary for some folx! But we're two introverts and, as you can imagine, being alone can be a truly joyful place for the both of us.

"And this is precisely the secret held by all those who go by foot: Life is prolonged when you walk. Walking expands time rather than collapses it." -- Erling Kagge. This week we talk about a book that's got Marcus all reflective and philosophical about the everyday activity of walking. Join us as we stroll and meander through all the things that walking opens up for us -- how we experience the world, being present (or not) in calls, emotions, the nature of time, and neuroplasticity. Wait, what? Yes. In true Steph and Marcus fashion, this conversation went everywhere our little feet could take us. This was a delightfully reflective episode and we'd love if you came and walked with us. Let us know what walking does for you!

July is Steph's birthday month, so OF COURSE we had to talk about age, getting older, and being in our 30s. In this episode, we chat about the things we've learned since hitting the big 3-0. What new realizations have we had? What hasn't changed at all? Join us as we wax lyrical about getting older, reflects on the influence that our parents' stories have on us, and chat about '4AM friends'. Do you have any thoughts about getting older? What's clearer for you with each passing year? Let us know over at Instagram (https://instagram.com/entrenous.podcast) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/EntreNousPod).

We are huge productivity nerds. Period. But what does using time wisely look like to us? Is it just doing more? Join us in this episode as we reflect more deeply on productivity and what it means to us. We chat about productivity, play, and procrastination (we love alliteration!). Also: binge watching 5 seasons of Queer Eye and the illusion of work-life balance... oh, and tattoos. Somehow tattoos snuck in there.

Hello! We're Steph and Marcus and welcome to our brand new podcast! Woot woot! In our very first episode, we explore what being an adult means.
