Everything’s (not) Fine

This is Nicole's first solo episode.

In this episode, Kel talks about the highlights of what the podcast has given her these past three years and why she's calling this one her last one... It's bittersweet and I'm going to miss so many things, but I'm so ready to see what lies ahead both for me and whatever Nicole does with this show.

Welp, the holidays are officially upon us. In this upbeat episode they dive into holidays with adult/older kids, keeping traditions alive, but also when to let a few go.  We want to connect!

Nicole and Keli chat about their favorite Glennon Doyle quote, "...there's no such thing as one way liberation," and all it means to them at this stage of life. Last week Kel turned 46 and celebrated in some unconventional ways. She shares why it was so important for her to do it and how this past year led to this point. Nicole has some great insight on the different places liberation shows up in our lives. This is one of my favorite episodes yet!   We want to connect!

Keli Budinich and Nicole Allen introduce the revamped show and return to the roots of this podcast: eavesdropping on friends as they discuss their lives and all the ways it's fine but also totally not fine and the beauty of just keeping it real.

Nicole talks about a conversation she recently had about what her WHY is in running so hard at work. A little self exploration about what is/has motivated us to make the decisions/do the things we do. It's better than it sounds. :)   We want to connect!

Keli talks about her process/methods of self-discovery and curiosity.  Nicole tells us a little about the Vagus Nerve and a quick intro to the parasympathetic nervous system. How can we use this knowledge to bring a sense of calm in the midst of the stress loop? Listen in for some quick and easy "exercises" (don't worry, no cardio required!)  We want to connect!

It is our privilege to share the love story of one Mama and her LGBTQ kiddos. Mama Kait kindly invites our curiosity and bravely shares a bit of the story of her family's experiences in the LGBTQ community.  Kait is the mom to eight children, thriving all over the spectrum of neurodivergence, medically complex, and just downright awesome.  This episode is not one of political agenda, it's just an invitation to open your heart to curiosity and love.  In the episode we discuss resources. A couple of places to get started are: PFLAG - A national is a community working to create a caring, just, and affirming world for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them. For WA residents: Seattle Children's Mental Health Referral Service - A resource for all Mental Health needs

Nicole and Keli return from their break ready to rumble! :) The ladies give a brief recap of the past couple of months and introduce the new "theme" of curiosity and compassion they are learning and living.  Give a listen and then meet us on instagram to discuss ways you're showing curiosity in your life!

Keli and Nicole talk about some of the most asked Listener Questions... 1. Where's the Original Nicole (ON) 2. Why is Keli so grossly in love with her husband? 3. Is Keli a Witch? 4. How does Nicole keep Keli in line (okay, not this actually. but it's a seriously good question!)

Sometimes we draw a line to delineate a boundary - this is what I need/can't do for my personal health.  And sometimes we draw a line saying "Nope. No more. I won't go on. I won't be vulnerable in this area. I'm good here no matter what. I will die on this hill." Nicole tells the story of an old friend who recently talked about that "not crossing this line of vulnerability" experience and how it played out in their life. Keli talks about her struggle with financial stubbornness and her recent decision to cross her imaginary line into more financial responsibility.  The ladies also tell about their most recent "Coven Weekend" and what they were up to.

Join Nicole and Keli as they check in on each other in their "process." Nicole gives an update on how things have been since her recent realization of putting everyone else's happiness above her own and how that is affecting her life. Keli talks about figuring out her place in her life as a "healed" person and what that will look like as she moves to Spokane and all the fears associated with it. We want to connect!

First of all... That halftime show. I mean, we can't NOT talk about it. Sorry if you're over it. WE WILL NEVER BE OVER IT! Then we talk about our defense mechanisms of not wanting to see ourselves or even others at times.  How do we let down our defenses to find some GD freedom? Oh baby. It's getting hot in hurrrr.

Keli spent the week caring for little people and comes back with some realizations/revelations. Nicole had a flashback of young mothering and the ugly mom snuck up on her over a decade later.  We had our moments of "ohhh GIRL, we SEE you. And we saw ourselves.

In this special episode, Keli shares a significant part of her story. During the past couple of years on the podcast, she has mentioned her estranged relationship with her mother, and today she shares how that decision evolved over time. She tells about when she realized that in order to have a healthy relationship with her own daughter, she would need to take a step back from her mother so they could both heal. It is a raw and vulnerable story that most people will relate to in some way, even if life circumstances are vastly different. Nicole provides incredible insight and support for her friend as she truly sees her right where she in her story.  TW: Keli does mention times of domestic, physical, emotional and sexual abuse in her story. Please listen when you have the emotional bandwidth and/or support that is best for you. We love you.   We want to connect!

We are learning that the absolute gift of Being Seen in our relationships can be life changing. One of the most crucial areas of life that we can be seen in is motherhood. Whether that is being seen by our partner/co-parent, our children, fellow mothers... it all makes a huge impact.  One of the most challenging things that has happened in the evolution of modern, western mothers is losing the Ethels to our Lucys. We dive into that and a lot more in this episode.    We want to connect!

Nicole and Keli start a series on Being Seen. In this first episode, among a lot of other random things, they talk about what it means to them to "Be Seen" by others. Is it even a good thing? Crap, more vulnerability. Nothanks.  Future episodes will dive deeper into what being seen looks like in different areas of our life, so this is a general overview of the concept. And some good chit chat. :)   We want to connect!

Host Keli Budnich andGuest Co-Host Nicole Allen discuss a new wave of life changes as "Pandemic Life" and some of the restrictions ease up and life gets to a new normal. There's a lot of change in the air and change ain't always easy, am I right? Marriages, schooling, jobs, you name it... we're all in the midst of getting to a new normal, and for some of us that looks drastically different. We especially talk about divorce and relationships in this one. You can VIEW the recording of this episode on YouTube (woohoo!!) by following this link.  **Audio on this video is less than awesome.

Keli Budinich and Nicole Allen spend some time talking about feeeeeeellllings. Ugh. We hate feelings. This episode covers how we, as moms, are parenting our teens during this season of life, how those worries and fears are taking its toll on us from time to time, and how just talking it out can bring relief to the overwhelm.

Wax this, curl that, shave these. What's so wrong with the hair god gave us anyway?? Whether we're adding to our eyebrows or removing our mustaches, it's a full time job just keeping up with self grooming, and not everyone is interested in this crap.So take your standards and shove them where the sun don't shine.
