Girls & The Gays

Bestie ... I've been feeling the monsters under my bed and in my closet a little more and wanted to share HOW i've been handling them and putting them TO REST. I've been learning during this season of my life how to dance with fear and embracing it for what they are. How I can quiet them out and lean into this with curiosity. In this episode, I walk you through exactly this path and how YOU TOO can dance with fear as part of your journey to your success. I cannot wait to hear what you think! Let's connect!

Bestie! In today's podcast episode I wanted to discuss my thoughts on hustle culture and seasons of working versus slowing down. I get asked ALL the time "how do you do it all?" And I started to sit in these thoughts and wonder myself - am I doing too much? How do I know when to slow down? So, today's episode we discuss exactly this. What seasons of hustle looks like versus rest. How do you know when to slow down versus when you have to put in a bit more elbow grease to manifest the life you want.

What if I told you you only had the next 3 months of your life to make your dreams a reality? You would do everything it takes (I'd hope) to make it happen. But if you had 1 year, you'd also take that full year to make it happen. This mantra I applied to starting Happy Hour Athletics and truly was the biggest mindset shift I needed to stop waiting and start doing. I hope this one resonates with you bestie!Book your class using code HAPPY, HERE!Instagram, HERE!

Bestie, in today's podcast episode I wanted to share with you the dualities I've been feeling going after my dreams and how this could resonate with you.

I share in this episode tactful strategies you can take whenever feeling the voices in your head occupy more time and energy than it should be!I cannot wait to hear what you think bestie. Let's connect here!

Happy forking February bestie-kinz!! Today I wanted to take this episode to share the top 3 lessons I've learned since pressing the 'start' buttons on my personal and professional goals. Specifically, I wanted to focus on the lessons I've learned now that I'm nearly 200 episodes into this podcast and figured it could be helpful to chat through them with you! I cannot wait to hear what you think! Let's connect!

Bestie omg today do I have a podcast for YOU! I got this DM the other day requesting I ellaborate more on friendships and dealing with friendship break ups and it really had me thinking ... What are non-negotiables in a friend, qualities of a valuable friend, and dealing with friendship break ups. I cannot wait to chit chat with you in this episode and hear your thoughts on this as well! Let's connect!

Bestie if you are having a bad day, PLAY THIS EPISODE. I recorded this podcast episode with bad days in mind and how we can navigate them together. Especially as we are now a few weeks into 2024, I felt like this is so relevant as the excitement of the new year might have since slowed down and reality is starting to settle. I share in this episode, that the contrast between good/bad and the highs/lows is what makes up the entire human experience. Nonetheless, it can be so hard when you're in the middle of a crap storm to see the light at the end of the tunnel. DON'T YOU WORRY because that's what the gay bestie is HERE FOR. In this episode, I give you some tactful questions and advice that you can apply so that you can slow your forking roll, take a deep breath, and freaking WOO SAAHHH LOL. I cannot wait to hear what you think, bestie! Let's connect!

Bestie, the other day I caught myself slippin .. back into 2023 me. The versions of me that I'm working hard to leave behind. While I'm a huge proponent for leveraging your past to push you forward - I'm not about letting our past keeping us STUCK. And so today, I figured  this would be a relevant topic to discuss and share with you. HOW are we going to leave behind the prior version of ourselves that didn't serve while leverage the parts that DID to help make sure we continue to stay bossed tf up and persevere for the goals we have set out for ourselves this new year (and beyond). I cannot wait to hear what you think, bestie! Let's connect on the gram!

BESTIE I AM FIRED UP! As 2024 is here, I wanted to continue to ride the wave with you and walk through HOW you are going to plan for success and set yourself up to accomplish your end of year goal. I walk through the what, how, and who to curate a formula that is specific to YOU and what will actually make the good habits stick. I cannot wait to hear what you think! PS bestie .. thank you SO SO MUCH for 30K podcast listens. It's insane to think that 3 frikkin years ago I started this podcast with a desire to share the 'journey' and to now this present victory ... I couldn't have done it without you! This is JUST the beginning! Let's connect on the gram, HERE!

BESTIE HAPPY FORKING NEW YEAR! In today's episode, I want to make a toast to 2023 and get freaking excited for 2024! Specifically, discussing how you will actually achieve the goals you've set for 2024.I cannot wait to hear what you think! Let's connect on the gram!

Omg bestie ... this is officially my last podcast episode for 2023! Time has only flown and I am just at a loss for words. As I reflect on this previous year I'm feeling proud/excited all while grieving the year that's coming to a close. I'm feeling nonetheless excited for all that I've learned and wanted to take up space with you and discuss on today's episode. I hope you enjoy bestie! 

2ND TO LAST EPISODE OF 2023 WHAAT! UGH BESTIE! Time is flying!! This honestly helped inspire my convo today with you regarding opportunity cost in the decisions we make/don't make when going after our higher self. In the episode, I walk you through 3 areas you might be risking from an opportunity perspective if you choose to play small and not take action for the life you want. I cannot wait to hear what you think! Connect with me on the gram, HERE!

Bestie in this episode we are talking about all things ... bad habits. Things we need to leave behind in 2023 so that we could ensure 2024 runs with NO HICCUPS BESTIE! Haha but fr I wanted to take this moment and reflect on areas of improvements for myself and how it can maybe pertain to you! I look forward to hearing your thoughts :) Let's connect!

Bestiekinz ... in today's podcast episode, idk what was in the air, but I really just wanted to have a deep 1:1 with you. Walking through how 2023 went for me and some lessons that I walked away with. I think you're really going to enjoy this more intimate conversation. My hope is that it inspires you to make room for the unexpected blessings, allow yourself to let go of 'good' to have 'great' and try whatever you are mildly interested in ON for size! I'm on your side! Let's connect! 

In today's episode, I want to talk to you about the power of just ONE more. One more rep, one more hour invested into your craft - you get the point bestie. We discuss today how progressive overload in the gym not only changes your entire physique but it's a greater representation of how the small things compound to the greater impact which therefore unlocks your potential. Bestie, I really think you're going to like this one. If it resonates at all with you, please tag me on Insta stories so that 1) another fellow bestie can benefit from the message and 2) I can personally thank you for helping me get the word out. Ily long time!Let's connect!

Bestie we are in the frenzy of end of year / new year excitement and maybe some ~anxiety~ too? Don't worry because - same. You are not alone!While the holidays and end of year can be such an exciting time, it also comes with lots of reflections on the past year, what we've accomplished and maybe areas of improvement. And all while looking forward to the new year, we might be looking at areas of our life we want to enhance. Thus, I wanted to take this moment to remind you how beyond capable you are! How YOU are the creator of your dreams and the person who has everything it takes to figure it out and create your dream life. And a bad bih sometimes needs that reminder, and I'm here to shake you by the shoulders and let you know JUST THAT! I cannot wait to hear what you think and if you are also listening in real time … Happy Thanksgiving, my love! I appreciate you and couldn't do this without you! Connect with me on the gram, ok??!!

BESTIE WE ARE ON THE FINAL STRETCH OF 2023 AND I'M HOLDING US BOTH ACCOUNTABLE. I had a sushi date with my besties this past weekend and we were discussing some challenges and mental blocks that we were commonly facing. I HAD TO share it with you here as I knew it could potentially be of value! In today's episode, I unpack this discussion - getting out of our own way and into action. I cannot wait to hear what you think! Connect with me, HERE!

BESTIEKINZ! You are in for a short but PACKED episode today! I heard recently of the boiling pot of water analogy that I just HAD to share with you - so that's exactly what we are doing today. In today's episode, I walk you through this analogy and how it represents the birds eye view of our lives and the goal(s) we've set out for ourselves and to stay steadfast in this journey. I cannot wait to hear what you think! PS, if you haven't already, PLEASE leave a review on Apple Podcast or Spotify to help a bestie out! Thank you THANK YOU! Connect with me, HERE.

BESTIE! HAII! Today's podcast is for when you feel that you aren't seeing the progress you were hoping for or expected while in your journey towards whatever goal you've set for yourself.  In this episode, I discuss how we can make the process more fun, let go of expectations and not quit prematurely. Are you putting in the most intentional and deliberate work? Are you truly giving your 100% and doing your best? I ask you questions in our bestie chat to get you THINKKINN and lead YOURSELF to your truth and honesty so that you can better align yourself in your north star. Are you ready? Press play MISS GORL!  Connect with me!

Bestie! On today's podcast episode I wanted to chat with you about a podcast episode that Alex Harmozi spoke on that really inspired me to share with you regarding choosing better problems. With whatever endeavor we embark on, EVEN IF we choose to stay exactly where we are and not embark on anything new or different - life will always hand us a set of problems. We get to choose what we do with those problems but more importantly the TYPE of problems we want to handle. It's up to us to be intentional with our present and choose a path regardless of problems or not, that it's aligned and one worth pursuing. I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on this! Connect with me! 

Bestie, I have missed you so much! I took 2 weeks off from podcasting which was so needed but I'm back and inspired to be on the mic again! That said, I had a coffee chat IRL with a close friend of mine that really helped me open my perspective on some areas of life that I've been thinking about that I wanted to share with you here on this episode. My friend Gen gave me this perspective between worrying and critical thinking that was so profound to me that I had to share with you today. I cannot wait to hear what you think! Let's connect, HERE.

Bestie, today I wanted to hold space and honor how far you've come and the accomplishments you've achieved. A lot of my episodes aim to put a fire under your bum but today while I do still want to hold you accountable - I specifically wanted to remind you about the gift you are exactly where you are at this present moment. Roll this episode back and consider it a bestie chat that also comes with a virtual hug. I'm thinking of you! Lots of love & let's connect, HERE.

Bestie, in today's podcast episode I wanted to discuss the power of trying things on the side while you balance your full-time job or any other pursuits that take up the bulk of your week. Finding the why behind it all AND the how, I cannot wait to hear what you think!Let's connect! 

Recently, I was thinking about being in my mid twenties as I was having a convo with my brother who is a recent college grad and it made me think about things I know now that I just wish I knew sooner. In today's episode, I make a list of 4 questions that I continuously ask myself in order to ground myself in my journey and ensure that I'm intentional with how I am spending my time to get myself closer to my goals. I cannot wait to hear what you think!Let's connect on the gram, HERE!

"The most beautiful things in life will come earlier or later than you expect it.You'll never be able to control the time of which things enter your life, you'll only be able to control the moves that get you towards your desired result. Don't force. If you try to grab the fruit before nurturing the seed, you may get it fast but then realize you destroyed the structure in the process that was supposed to hold it for a lifetime." Bestie this quote REALLY hit home for me after seeing it reposted on Insta stories that I HAD TO leverage this as the main theme of our convo today. I cannot wait to hear what you think!Let's connect!

Bestie .. are you ever in a season of your life where you compare yourself to a prior version of yourself when the circumstances were different? And you wonder why you aren't pulling the same weight you once were or showing up how you once were? Then we spiral in this negative self talk and belief? BOOOO!!! We aren't doing that here. Not today. Not on my watch! On today's episode I wanted to discuss how this spiraling is just a disservice and how we have to give ourselves a little more selfcompassion. I cannot wait to hear what you think!

When we are trying something for the first time, or we are stumbling along the journey of going after our goals  - how can we give ourselves just some grace and self-compassion during these seasons? What does that look like? You're not going to get it right the first time .. Or the next few times either. But how boring would it be if you had a straight shot to getting to your goals and getting there unscathed? In today's episode, I break it all down for you in how you can give yourself a little bit more grace in which inadvertently builds your self-confidence and self-worth. I cannot wait to hear your thoughts!

It can be so easy to stand in our present but not actually feel and be present. We get overwhelmed by the thought that we aren't yet where we want to be or who we know we could be But I want to ask you - Who are you in the becoming of? How is your current season exactly where you need to be in order to qualify yourself to the person you've always dreamt of being? How could rushing truly sabotage your cocooning season?Today's episode we discuss all of the above and the power of our present. I cannot wait to hear what you think! Let's connect on the gram :) 

Ugh bestie today's podcast episode was so refreshing ... I really imagined this to be a coffee chat we would have if we were in person and a few updates I wanted to loop you in on. I know - a short episode as I ran off to a conference right as I was recording so please give me some grace but I will be back next week :) I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on this one! I hope you are taking care of yourself! Lots of love, TT. Insta!

So you have something to share but you may not know what it is yet? Specifically in content creation in the online space or maybe you're in a little bit of a rut? Bestie I see and feel you!  In this episode, I share the catch-22 predicament we find ourselves in when we know we want to post or share our message but keep on 'waiting' for the perfect time to gain the clarity. Not realizing that we won't gain clarity in the waiting, but rather in the DOING. Through my own journey with content creation and stepping into the online space (though I'm no expert by any means), I wanted to share 5 tactful pieces of advice in creating content and sharing your message in today's episode, and cannot wait to hear what you think! Let's connect on Insta!

Bestie I was particularly inspired by a TikTok that I saw and wanted to have a discussion about it with you today on the pod. You know how you desire something new but then you sit in decision paralysis and end up doing nothing, wondering why nothing has changed about our life? WE are the catalyst of our own lives and WE hold the power to call the shots, reinvent ourselves and self discover. I hope this episode helps hold you accountable and leaves you feeling all the more inspired! I cannot wait to hear your thoughts! 

Bestie girl do I have an episode for you! After getting inspired by a conversation I had this week with a close friend and another intern at work, I wanted to bring forth the convo that all connects back to the science that's behind manifesting and visualizing our DREAMS. After doing some research, THIS article took every discussion I had this past week that much further in providing the science behind how powerful it is to continue to visualize our dream self even if we aren't quite yet there. I think you're gonna love this one - PLEASE let me know what you think! Connect on insta!

Episode 147 already? Wtf!!! Thank you for being along for the ride, bestie! Nonetheless - you know that feeling of setting a new goal, that excitement gets you so giddy and ready to get started but then that nagging voice in the back of your head starts making you think 'realistically' so you talk your way out of that goal and procrastinate. YUP - been there, done that. Not today and certainly not again. Bestie, in today's episode we unpack the discussion of goal setting and how we can maintain that excitement and hold ourselves accountable, take responsibility and chase our dreams. I unpack the how and reiterate the WHY in today's episode. I cannot wait to hear what you think! Let's connect! 

Bestie, I uploaded a instagram reel recently that shared my decision to pause my small business and pivot into personal fitness and training. This opened discussion where other besties also resonated to this and felt seen in changing our minds and embracing change. I cannot wait to hear what you think about this episode as I walk your through what the territory of change comes with and how it's a beautiful transformation for you and your next era :) 

The beauty in taking your time and the season you are in. How you are qualifying yourself exactly where you are at even IF it's not where you want to be. I cannot wait to hear what you think about this episode! Lots of love, Tran Let's connect!

Saying no and sticking to your boundaries isn't always easy bestie and in today's episode I dove into this and how you can own making decisions led by your gut. Setting the precedence of how you want to treat yourself you inadvertently show others the way you want to be treated and the standard you have. You are responsible for the opportunity cost you are willing to have and forgo every decision you make. I cannot wait to hear what you think! Insta! 

BESTIE HOW TF ARE WE HALF WAY THROUGH 2023! Crying .. screaming .. throwing up!! In today's episode I give you the strategies to take 2023 in your hands regardless of how it's been treating you and what you anticipate to come. How we can be more present, take back your power and create the vision you had for yourself when you first started the year. I cannot wait to hear what you think! Instagram, let's connect!

Do you feel like you are interested in many different things but don't know what to pick or where to start? RIGHT THERE WITH YOU BESTIE! I came across this TikTok that really resonated with me and this subject that I HAD TO share with you. It's by the creator @jakecreativehackers where he breaks down how multi-passionate people can narrow in on their interests and find clarity. Some of which I've applied in my own self-discovery and really think will resonate with you as well! I cannot wait to hear what you think! Let's connect!

Probably one of the hardest podcast episodes I've had to do in awhile. While I know I didn't "HAVE TO" do anything I feel that it would be such a disservice to leave this part out of our shared journey. I've captured every part of my business with you from the good, bad and the ugly and today was no difference. I unpack my decision to pivot in my business and take a step back on my first business idea, Fruit Glutes. I unpack when to know it's time to pivot, what that means and embracing it all. I cannot wait to hear what you think! Thank you for being part of my journey my love and making this all possible. I couldn't have done this without you! Lots of love always. Let's connect!

I have officially entered my Swiftie Fan Girl Era and I'm not mad about it ... Bestie, as you know, I went to the freaking Era's Tour Concert ALONE and I spilt the tea on today's episode. I shared how I was able to embrace going to a concert alone, introduced myself to strangers and welcomed the blessings that this environment had on me. I cannot wait to hear your thoughts!Let's connect!

Bestie the tea is pipping hot today! I posted a TikTok on this topic that seemed to resonate with lots of besties on socials so I wanted to take it here on podcast form. Discussing deep happiness and joy especially when navigating your early 20's and what that transition from school to work/life is like. I unpacked this topic in 5 steps / call outs that I've applied in my life that have helped me recenter and ground myself in my own truth, defining happiness in my own terms.I cannot wait to hear your thoughts! Insta!

When you are going after something big and scary you know the limiting beliefs start looking you dead in the eyes like "bestie ... i don't think so" and then you play out "gosh, but what if I fail? What does that mean when I fail?" So on today's episode .. I unpack this. I share examples in my life of times that I could label as failures however rather I shifted this to learning opportunities. In helping me get closer to where I want to be, my sense of self, and driving my motivation when I doubt myself. I cannot wait to hear your thoughts, bestie! Instagram!

Bestie! Welcome back to another episode of ~Girls' and The Gays~! On today's episode, I wanted to lead a discussion on growth - ways we are growing that are not physical and tangible but rather the deep growth we may experience as we undergo discomfort. I feel like we often measure growth in things we can see or touch which makes us unintentionally (or intentionally) discredit the growth we are having that is below the surface. I cannot wait to hear what you think! Insta :) Fruit Glutes 

Bestie I have tea ... I recently let go of a consistent stream of side income that I've never talked about with you before - no .. it isn't Fruit Glutes HAHA. Buckle in because this one is about to be juicy as I share with you questions that I leveraged in analyzing my options and making the hard decision to pivot in business/life. I cannot wait to hear what you think! My IG Fruit Glutes

Bestie the yearly recap is here!! As promised I wanted to detail some of the lessons I've learned now entering my mid 20's (WHAT!!)!! From personal to business and everything in between, I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on this episode. Connect with me! Fruit Glutes (my small biz!)

Hi Bestie!!! I freaking just turned 25 and we hit 25K downloads! What in the world! I remember starting this podcast in 2020 when I first graduated lost and confused - still kinda true HAHA. But I knew I wanted to connect with you on a deeper level and create a close-knit community that connects on topics like ones i share on this podcast. Thank YOU for making this count and helping make these milestones happen! On this episode in particular I wanted to take you along how I've redefined productivity in this season of life and how we can make sure we take steps forward to create our dream lives while also being gentle with ourselves. I can't wait to hear what you think! My Instagram Fruit Glutes
