Today I have someone in the studio who I've been wanting to have on this program since I interviewed her back in 2019 for another project. The reason why Rebecca is here today is because we're going to talk about LIFE CHANGE and she has been through some stuff and come out stronger. Rebecca has been a professional in the food service industry for over 20 years. Currently, she is the chef/owner of a mobile kitchen called Street Chefs, the Food Service Director of the Big Bend Homeless Coalition at the HOPE Community and the Founder/Instructor of the REfire Culinary program. Today's show is called STARTING OVER and it's all about life transformation. Well, we're going to dip our toe in life transformation. It's a big subject, and we only have an hour.Today's topic is a little extra though, because we're discussing starting over after a big life event, specifically, incarceration. We're going to hear from Rebecca about how her experiences led her towards a refire of her life, and into a business venture that is helping others.

Today I have two guests in the studio who know a lot about solving problems. Nanette Schimpf is here from The Moore Agency, and Dr. Gabrielle Gabriellini, a business consultant and leadership coach.Today's show is called SORRY / NOT SORRY and it is all about not feeling sorry for having great ideas.Have you ever started an email with, “I'm sorry for the delayed response…” or , “pardon the delay…” Or been in a conversation with someone who says, “Someone may have already said this, but…” or “I'm not an expert, but…”Have you noticed how many times during the day you apologize as part of your communication style? Our program today is about our habit of pre-apologizing, over-apologizing, and how to adopt confident communication strategies.My guests are uniquely prepared to speak on the subject.As vice president of the Tallahassee-based integrated communications firm The Moore Agent, Nanette manages projects and inspires people to solve the problems and create success.Nanette has a degree in communications from Florida State University and has honed her expertise in public affairs, legislative affairs and media relations. During her nearly 20 years with Moore, she has managed award-winning campaigns for clients ranging from law enforcement to the medical industry.She is also honored to serve as a member of the Bradfordville Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department.Dr. Gabrielle K. Gabrielli is an award-winning author and consultant who is also a leadership guru John C. Maxwell certified coach, speaker, and trainer. Gabrielle Consulting, Inc. helps people and organizations clarify and achieve their goals through strategic planning, goal setting, and developing their leadership skills. She also heads a non-profit called Life Worth Leading that uses SCUBA to help people tap into their unique strengths.And, I'm going to get coachy on ya with some tips for feeling better about not being sorry.Let's get into it!

Welcome to Heather Solves Everything, the show where I take credit for making the world a better place by introducing you to people who actually are.In this episode, that person is Mikaya Warren, Executive Director of Sickle Cell 365, and we are going to talk about resilience - that element of life that helps us bounce back from adversity and stay energetic even when we are going through tough times.But we're not talking about resilience for everyday life - as if that isn't challenging enough. Today's show is called RESILIENCE EVEN THOUGH, and we are talking about staying energetic and positive even though you are dealing with a chronic illness or caring for someone who is.Stay with us as we learn about the power of resilience and how we can conjure it up on demand. Then, we'll hear about how Mikaya's life experiences have helped her develop some resilience skills. We're going to hear about Sickle Cell 365, an organization that addresses a chronic illness, and talk about how we can all support those in our lives who deal with chronic pain or disease every day, and their caregivers.And, I'm going to get coachy on ya with some tips for developing your own resilience super powers.Are yall ready? Let's get into it. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

My guests today are Inger Daniels-Hollar and Kylene Gay, two people who are lighting up different corners of the world with their can-do attitude and curiosity about life. The problem? That feeling when you sign up to do something and then you think, “THIS ISN'T ME AT ALL!” We're going to hear from Inger about how she jumped into entrepreneurship as a woman of color in a male-dominated field and how she works with women to help them build wealth.Then we're going to meet Kylene, back from a backpacking trip that took her way out of her comfort zone and into a new level of confidence and curiosity about what her limits really are.And, I'm going to get coachy on ya with some tips for telling that voice of self-doubt to get lost. Are y'all ready? Let's get into it. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Welcome to Heather Solves Everything, the show where I take credit for making the world a better place by introducing you to people who actually are.It's going to be a fun show. Each week there will be guests, stories, games, and even some audience participation. I promise to always bring you something to talk about, something to think about, and hopefully something to do something about!Today's show is called GO BOLDLY. And yes, it's taken from the famous quote by Henry David Thoreau, although that's not actually what he said. There are a few versions of his words, the most common of which being “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined.” I always thought he said go BOLDLY, but now I know that I had Thoreau mixed up with Captain Kirk. But it's my show and I can do whatever I want. So today, we are channeling both Thoreau and Captain Kirk and going BOLDLY in the direction of our dreams!But who can go boldly or confidently on their own? No one! That is why I have a guest with me today. Christic Henry is a neighborhood and community advocate that is a driving force for Tallahassee. Today we're going to talk about: What do you think it means to live boldly or with intention?Has there ever been a time when you remember feeling, hearing, or just knowing your purpose in life?Why do you think people hold themselves back from bold living?What has been a powerful benefit of living boldly and with intention?What drives you to pursue your vision for life?Let's get into it.

Summer Break is just around the corner!! Heather's Headlines find her feeling curious about restaurant leftovers, pulling out the soap box in a quest fir pocket equity, fun challenges, and feeling nostalgic for the toxic fumes of her childhood. Thanks for listening! ...Until Next Time! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Somehow, Chryssy weaves together a show today that includes Brittney Spears, Rick Astley, The Cure, and Jay Sean. We talk about that generational knowledge that one acquires by living through a time, and the potential to be in the completely wrong era or timeline of pop culture if we didn’t live through that time. In housekeeping, we deliver some big news about the upcoming show schedule. Season Three is nearing its close, and the ladies are taking a PROPER summer break. Tune in to find out when we will be back. Here’s a link to a cool new cozy clothy brand Chryssy discovered. It’s even better because it’s owned by a friend of a friend. www.publicrec.comHeather has some fun stuff on the social media pages. Head over to see some funny videos and pics. Until next time!

Today on How To DO Life with Chryssy and Heather, we discuss life changes, and how to adapt our schedules and other obligations to new additions, big and small!. Heather tells us about her version of March Madness, and Chryssy ponders bout when you are busy doing the work to start something new, only to realize when the new thing starts, it brings new work! Chryssy encourages us to watch a series she is enjoying so much that she's enjoyed it twice. Have you ever watched a series more than once??Today's Grab Bag talks about America's great need for signage and direction - and how annoying that is. We discuss our feelings on Pepe Le Pew and Turner Classic Movies as well! Of course, there's a touch of light hearted homework, and a 3 minute-ish 5 Minute Flip! Tune in for the fun!Until next time... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It’s the middle of April and that means this year we have had 16 Mondays and 16 Fridays. We have wrapped up winter and rolled into Spring. Heather has covered 657 miles, and has 1,363 to go.So Heather has a question for Chryssy: "What are you doing New Year’s Eve???"This episode is about checking in for a moment to see if 2021 is going the way you want it to. Are you steering the ship or just along for the ride? Are you living in a way that will have you feeling satisfied on the last day of it? It is never too late to start, so get going!And while we're on the subject, Heather is curious to know if Chryssy has a bucket list. We talk about what is in our buckets, share listener feedback, and speculate on whether their friend Alan can make Heather's bucket list wish come true.And what about your "rhymes with bucket" list? In the Grab Bag we talk about what we and our listeners are OVER worrying about!Sources:https://www.aarp.org/content/dam/aarp/research/surveys_statistics/life-leisure/2017/aarp-travel-bucket-lists.doi.10.26419%252Fres.00151.001.pdfhttps://www.provisionliving.com/news/survey-reveals-whats-americas-bucket-list See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The show kicks off with a little housekeeping, since it’s been a while since Chryssy has gotten to spend time with you! Remember you can find us everywhere, and you can watch us on Facebook Live!Chryssy did some google searching of HERSELF this week, and remembered some old jobs that she had forgotten she ever held. She’s made a quiz for Heather today – “Did I have this job?” Tune in to hear some doozies. Do you think Chryssy played flute in an orchestra? That she mismanaged two swimming pools? That she taught Spanish in Puerto Rico while unable to speak it? That she taught classes at an online college? You can find out here! We think Heather might share some fun old jobs with us on a future episode. We certainly hope so!Chryssy recommends a look back on the jobs that helped you grow. She wants you to share your stories with your friends and your children and OF COURSE – us! Head on over to the social media and tell us about something you did before whatever power career you’re in now.Heather’s 5-minute flip is cut short because the girls fear Jon’s scary one minute warning, but not before the show offers up some homework.Clean up your resume. Dig into the themes of your past work and the values important to you in a job. Make changes as needed to get you where you want to go. We are now heavy into spring, the time of year ripe with possibility. Reflect on your past and go make your future dreams come true.Until next time.

Today is the day we recap our last 10 episodes with our friend Bobby Brown Junior! Be sure to listen to his show, The Writer’s Block, too, wherever you like to get your podcasts.In our shameless attempt to be sure you don’t miss an episode, and to entice you to go back and listen again, we’re reviewing topics like book club, hot guys, art busses, COVID vaccines and more. Need the scoop on what’s on Heather’s browser or what comedy special you should watch this week? Well, you’ve come to the right place. Curious to know why these millennial kids are hating on our old lady clothes? We will see if Bobby knows.It’s a fun romp through a lot of different nonsense this week. We’re glad you’re with us!

Getting old sucks, yall. The gals aren't feeling their best after a The Year That Shall Not Be Named, and Heather has called in reinforcements on her journey to reclaim the fitness she once knew. So, we have a special guest - Tristan Ragland, an exercise physiologist whose doctoral study Heather signed up for in hopes that he would reveal the secret to fast fat loss.We ask him all of our getting-old-sucks questions: cardio or weights? How much protein? Why is it so hard to lose weight as we get older? And what about gaining and losing weight after weight loss surgery? Tristan does his best to let us down gently,And, we introduce a new segment: the Five-Minute Flip. You'll have to tune in to hear what Chryssy's been dying to talk about all week! Until next time....

Today Chryssy and Heather have a special guest! Bobby Brown Jr joins the team in studio to discuss Oprah, Babies, Racism, and Grandmas. Bobby is not only a stand up guy, but he's also a stand up comedian, writer, producer, and host of his own podcast, "The Writer's Block with Bobby Brown Junior". It's probably safe to say that Bobby will be returning to the studio again in the near future, so everyone should get familiar with him and check out his podcast by clicking the link! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-writers-block-with-bobby-brown-jr/id1547488482...until next time!

Heads up - changes are a-comin'. Starting this week, How to Do Life with Chryssy and Heather is going to be released once a week instead of twice. So, tune in for our Facebook Live on Monday mornings, watch for the new show to drop on Wednesdays, and hang out with us online talking about it all in between!Have you gotten your COVID vaccine yet? Not eligible? You may be and not know it! Heather is, and she got it. But, not before hearing a bunch of people talk about how much they're overthinking it. Who should get the vaccine first: a smoker or someone with a genetic disorder? Should anyone feel guilty for getting it when someone else they know can't yet? We talk about vaccine guilt, and the layers of thought that go into - or don't - getting a shot in the arm.Oh and here are Heather's sources:https://www.vogue.com/article/covid-19-vaccine-bmi-qualifierhttps://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2021-03-08/guilt-envy-distrust-vaccine-rollout-breeds-mixed-emotions See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Heather read an article that said Gen Z rules and Millennials drool, so she decided to start dressing like a Gen Z so she could finally be cool. You'll have to check out our Facebook live archives to see how that turned out. You know we are live on FB on Mondays around 9:45, right? Check us out.Do you have generational pride? Or do you feel like you belong in a different generation entirely? We have a quiz today and Chryssy discovers she is a lot more mature than she thought. You can do the quiz too, but since Heather is a Boomer in a Gen X body, you have to print out this pdf and fill it out with a pen and then add up the points to get your results: https://diversity.missouristate.edu/assets/diversityconference/Generational_Personality_Quiz_Handout.pdfBut when it really comes down to it, every generation has things they contribute to the world and ways that they annoy everyone. Do you relate to our list of pet peeves through the generations? Until next time... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It’s been two weeks since we’ve been in to record, and another 10 days before this airs andChryssy has been holding open tabs on her cell phone of interesting things she wanted to talkto Heather about. It’s a little like Heather’s Headlines, only coming from Chryssy’s pervertedand curious brain. Chryssy thought about grouping them – COVID stories, funny stories, etc. Butinstead, we discuss them in the order they appear in her browser!Here are today’s topics:https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/01/pandemic-goodbye-casual-friends/617839/?fbclid=IwAR1WVYoj7H8Edj_cCR7vM_OT41_lUHmSRfKOa8N4Q1OAaiknhL4aYMhlvkgThis is the story Chryssy mentioned a couple weeks ago – and we’ve finally a chance to discuss.All those peripheral “friendships” are important to our mental health, and the pandemicchanges that.https://www.tallahassee.com/story/entertainment/2021/02/04/filmed-tallahassee-the-waiting-gets-screening-cmx-cinemas-wakulla-lodge/4374321001/?fbclid=IwAR2M1stg53qZB5v50dlBuurhj4ba_XsqfFxyQG88px63Y3GlluSOb8bqk_oChryssy and her kids went to this movie, and it was a pretty good time.

You must make the CHOICE to take a CHANCE if you want anything in life to CHANGE. Our special guest today is doing that big time.Heather is fresh off of vacation, where she stayed in a fancy house and went hiking and traveled along a snowy, slushy, rainy path to a house in the woods. She recommends it.She hiked to a house once owned by the Walker Sisters, who resisted leaving their mountain homestead when the woods they lived in was being turned into the Smoky Mountain National Park. You can read about it here; https://www.nps.gov/grsm/learn/historyculture/walker-sisters.htmHiking and learning about the Walker sisters made Heather think of something else she recommends: getting to know our special guest Carly Sinnadurai, the founder of The Sharing Tree. www.sharingtree.familyToday we talk about choices - especially the times when we have to make a choice to take a chance that can bring about a change. When have you wanted change bad enough to make the choice to take a chance? Listen today to discover how we have.-- See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

You wanna know Chryssy’s doing? She’s tired of being a good person. She’s crabby and bitter and sick of being good to other people, and she needs Heather to convince her to keep making morally and ethically correct choices.We have a recap of our goals, and the ladies are a little off track. It’s important to share when we’re off track, because we aren’t perfect, either. Pasta and bread have been swapped out, but cookies are making an appearance so it’s probably kind of defeating the purpose. Miles are not getting run. But we’re still taking vitamins!Chryssy tells us about a fire ant emergency and miracle, and the ladies ponder how our brains can react so quickly in these events and perform so shittily in regular life. We recommend we all watch Surviving Death on Netflix and maybe talk about it in a little while.Chryssy got a check in the mail, and it led to an existential crisis. Not really, but she kind of wishes it would have. If you were planning to watch “I Care A Lot” on Netflix, you should do that before you listen to this episode, because Chryssy completely spoils it.The conversation today revolves about why we do right instead of wrong in our personal and professional lives. We talk about how we “know” what right is and how it feels to live with knowing you did right or wrong. We discuss a little bit of right FOR WHOM and how the collective “right” beats our personal desires sometimes. And how mad that makes Chryssy.Speaking of right and wrong, make sure you pick up our new book club read, Defending Jacob by William Landay. There’s plenty of morality and loyalty to discuss here.There’s some homework, and we hope it keeps you on the straight and narrow, even when the straight and narrow sucks.Don’t forget you can find us Monday’s beginning around 9:45AM on Facebook Live at How To Do Life with Chryssy and Heather in addition to listening here!

It’s Book Club Day and we’re talking about the fun and fabulous CALYPSO by David Sedaris!This book is a collection of short, family-themed stories, and Chryssy and Heather both really enjoyed it.Big shout out and THANK YOU to Texas Tech, specifically the Humanities Center, for some of the questions and themes from today’s book club review.Chryssy and Heather spend some time talking about their own family stories. How do these develop? What do they mean to the spirit of binding a family together? Take a moment to consider your family stories – where did they come from? Do the versions agree? It’s such a joy to walk down a collective memory lane.We talk about the delicate balance between sadness and morbidity and downright humor in Sedaris’ writing. Why do you think humor is important in things that hurt and that we can’t understand? Let’s get into it.We also talk a little bit about classical storytelling, oral tradition (which sounds so dirty! But isn’t.), and Truth with a capital T versus truth. Perhaps it’s because of Sedaris’ writing or perhaps it’s because Chryssy and Heather are such pros, but this episode is both deep and shallowly silly.We announce our new book – and you won’t want to miss it. It’s a DIVE into psychology, nature versus nurture, family and loyalty, and WAY more. Listen in to find out what we are reading.We’d love to hear what you thought of Calypso and how you feel about our next Book Club Choice – pop over to Facebook or Instagram for a visit, and tune into Facebook Live Monday Mornings around 9:45 to see our team in action.Until next time.

Everyone gets all excited about Valentine's Day and Mardi Gras, but does anyone give Presidents' Day any love? Heather does. Originally established in 1885 in recognition of President George Washington, the holiday became popularly known as Presidents' Day after it was moved as part of 1971’s Uniform Monday Holiday Act, an attempt to create more three-day weekends for the nation’s workers. While several states still have individual holidays honoring the birthdays of Washington, Abraham Lincoln and other figures, Presidents' Day is now popularly viewed as a day to celebrate all U.S. presidents, past and present.The gals are using President's Day as a reason to consider the cuteness of men. Which President do you think is the cutest? Check them out here:https://hottestheadsofstate.com/us-presidents/But yeah yeah they're cute and they were smart but you know, they were some weird dudes. https://247wallst.com/special-report/2019/02/12/the-weirdest-fact-about-every-american-president-2/2/Thinking about the quirks of our forefathers put Heather in the mood for a look at our goals, so we take some time for How It Started / How It's Going.Until next time...

Season 3 took off like a rocket! There’s been so much, so quickly, and today we take a look back at whirlwind that was the first 6 weeks of 2021.Brian is with us today for his last Top 10 appearance! The girls have some fun changes in store for Season 3 on the Top 10 front. We’ve loved having Brian with us throughout Season 2 and can’t wait to share what’s in store moving forward.This year is all about goals, and we recap our promises to ourselves and others and how that’s going. We get to hear what Brian wants out of his year, too, and it’s fun to see how everyone is looking forward to and simply looking FORWARD in 2021.We dream of where we’d like to go when we can go places again – what’s on your post-pandemic bucket list? We also give some tips on what to do when you have no positivity left in your broken soul and how to disagree with people respectfully and kindly. Speaking of dreaming of things, we’re still mooning over that Wonder Salad from Jeri’s Midtown Café, and Brian tells us a secret at Jeri’s that Jeri herself may or may not have wanted kept under wraps.Coming up is Valentine’s Day, Calypso Book Club, new guests and segments (Heather is pondering both SPORTS and BEER as new HTDL territory), and much more excitement. Stay with us here on your favorite podcast app, and check us out Monday Mornings on Facebook Live at How To Do Life With Chryssy and Heather around 9:45AMUntil next time!

It's a confusing day for Heather. She wasn't sure who was playing in the Super Bowl, she had no clue who the halftime performer was, and her dance moves are sorely outdated. But, there is one thing she does know and that is how to navigate Mardi Gras, which is turning the corner and headed into its home stretch this weekend. Tune in to hear Heather be a disgrace to the world of sports and challenge Chryssy and Producer Jon to a Mardi Gras trivia quiz. You can see the questions (including some she didn't ask) for yourself here: laissez les bon temps roulerhttps://blog.nationalgeographic.org/2013/02/06/true-or-false-10-mardi-gras-questions-answered/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Jeri is here today to share with us her philosophy of “love on a plate.” We get to hear all about the latest at Jeri’s Midtown Café, a fun and fresh staple here in Tallahassee. Jeri gives us the lowdown on what’s new on the menu and she also gives us a sneak peek into her plans to expand the outdoor dining experience at Jeri’s. As someone who always spreads the love, Jeri shines a light on Sodough, another great local spot, and on Argonaut coffee, another of her passions.Chryssy discusses the logistics and branding of opening her son’s TOAST restaurant. Listen in to see if we convinced Jeri to be a partner. We also talked about the restaurant industry in the pandemic and got some interesting insight into both consumer and restauranteur behavior during these challenging times.We have a goals update, and Jeri also shares hers with Chryssy and Heather. Fitness goals abound, and one of the ways to stay healthy is to eat clean. Don’t forget your homework, friends – which is simple today. Head over to Jeri’s and get yourself some fare to feed your belly and your soul.Until next time! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's a new month and love is in the air! In this episode we are feeling pretty proud of ourselves for our fantastic progress on our goals (GOALS!!!!!) and we reflect back on the folly of 2020. We were so young and innocent. We're older and wiser now, and determined to make the most of what we've got!Part of what we've got is love to share with others, especially some of our gal-owned local businesses who are collecting feminine hygiene items for women in need. Did you know that tampons and pads are taxable items? We think that's messed up. We can't change the tax laws (yet) but we CAN help make sure all women have what they need, so we're going to this Amazon Wish List to pitch in.Heather wants you to remember that February can also be all lovey-dovey for YOU to YOU! She's issued a self-care challenge for this month to make sure you are taking care of all five areas of self-care: physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, and social. Read more about them here: https://www.verywellmind.com/self-care-strategies-overall-stress-reduction-3144729And follow us on Instagram!Until next time.....

The gals are excited to read about a reference to Tallahassee in David Sedaris' book, Calypso, which we will be discussing in mid-February. Se get reading! And speaking of upcoming episodes, send your questions about staying fit after 40, because Heather will soon host a show about the research study on that subject she has recently been a test rat for. In a GOALS update, Chryssy and Heather both want to make sure that any challenge they take on is an opportunity to learn about themselves and "level up." So Heather was curious to know about the sugar cravings she has noticed during Dry January. You can read the article they discuss here: https://www.businessinsider.com/why-cutting-alcohol-makes-you-crave-sugary-food-2018-2And in the Grab Bag, Heather wonders... speaking of going overboard with things, what makes a TV show binge-worthy? And, how can we make our lives binge-worthy?

The show opens with a big shout out to Chryssy’s nephew, who is leaving for basic training this week. You’re awesome, Jake!We’re a little on the fly today, as Chryssy accidently deleted all her show pre-planning, but we hit some high notes regardless.We talk about our goals and our book club read and then we get into what is sure to be the next huge NYC food phenomenon. Listen in to learn all about the best thing since sliced bread . . .Chryssy brings us what would have been a purple lipstick show, had she cared about anyone else’s opinion. She doesn’t think the Bernie memes are funny and she and Heather debate the why of this. Chryssy calls the memes cheap and low brow and a bunch of other not particularly nice things. Who knew she was such an advocate for tradition and pomp and circumstance? Chryssy asks for privacy during this difficult time – as in, please don’t send her Bernie memes.Head over to Facebook and Instagram to see all the exciting things happening on the show and to watch out livestream. There’s some pretty quality Salt&Pepa jams at the beginning. As always, you can also find us at chryssyandheather.comUntil next time! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Heather is super pumped about the great progress she and Chryssy are having on their goals, and we start this episode with a check-in and reminder about setting achievable goals.Heather is also excited because it is almost Mardi Gras, even though COVID has caused parades in New Orleans to be cancelled. So, Heather's hometown has gotten creative and this year is having Yardi Gras! Check out this link to see the fun ways people are decorating their houses: https://www.nola.com/multimedia/photos/collection_57b3b908-54fb-11eb-af5d-8b79d450f1c0.html?fbclid=IwAR08VaIos4NZyQFqfIcE-kZ4_qikg-i8zJyhcljsM1-3JWfbkLB-0MBZnf4#anchor_item_40In a bit of a flashback, Heather quizzes Chryssy and Producer Jon on some 1918 slang. Can you guess what these words mean? https://www.npr.org/sections/npr-history-dept/2015/08/20/432382499/16-spiffy-words-college-students-used-in-1916And in the Grab Bag, the gals talk about the pressure we have to be positive, and about the concept of toxic positivity. They want you to know that all vibes are welcome here, and have some helpful tips for changing your vibes if and when you want to.

Chryssy opens the show today by recommending that if you meet someone, and you like that someone, just consider them a friend. Make it that easy. Offer them a place in your life and let them be there. Get out there and make a friend, folks. We need connections now more than ever. Feed the souls of the people in your network and watch it come right back to you.The big question today is – WHAT UP, BELGIUM?? We’ve learned that we have more listeners in Belgium (after the good old U.S. of A.) than in any of the other over a dozen countries we are being heard. Belgium beats even Australia, where we know we have a mini fanclub in Shari and Denise! We’ve just gotta know – Belgium, who are you? Why do you like us? Can you send us chocolate? We want to be your friend. And we want to know our listeners better. That goes for the rest of you, too.Chryssy introduces a new segment today! It’s called GOALS! Goals is all about, you guessed it, GOALS. The first episode of this new season, we set the intention that this is the year and the season for GOALS. We want to know yours. On the How To Do Life facebook page, you will find – pinned to the top! – our goals and a space for you to join the conversation. Head on over.We hear an excerpt from Calypso, our current Book Club book. Make sure you’re keeping up on your reading. We’ve got a few weeks.In the grab bag today, Chryssy wants us to really pause and think about how important local journalism is. Sometime in the future, she’ll be having one of the editors of her local paper in for further discussion. In the meantime, Tallahassee.com takes you to the site for Chryssy and Heather’s local paper and you can find some wonderful gems there (Like Bill’s column about the Trump Twitter ban, resources on area hiking trails, and more).Your homework today is simple: Make a friend. Make a goal. Get your local paper. And go on Facebook and Instagram and tell us all about it.Until next time! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's the second episode of season 3! In this episode, Chryssy and Heather are wearing makeup and look great, so you should tune in to the livestreams on Mondays around 9:30 to see them.Heather brings some good news with a heartwarming story about a community that pulled together to save their local bar by buying all of the inventory. We're sure this was not at all related to the fact that the inventory was beer. You can read the whole story here: https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/customers-buy-entire-beer-stock-at-swan-dive/Heather suggests that the Senate and House of Representatives have a Secret Santa for the whole year to promote friendship and understanding. It's a great idea.Speaking of shopping, Heather has swipe fatigue! She has been shopping way too much and that's made her curious to know about the shopping habits of Americans. Did you know that the average woman makes 301 trips to the store annually, spending close to 400 hours a year shopping? This amounts to 8.5 years spent shopping during a typical lifespan. (NY Daily News)Despite economic turmoil, 41% of consumers say that the convenience of the shopping experience is more important than price. 47% said they will shop with important heritage or traditional brands that they want to see survive. 63% said they will shop more with retailers located nearby because they want them to stay open. Heather quizzes Chryssy about her shopping habits and doesn't judge her at all.Do you have a goal to spend less this year? Tell us about it! Until next time....

Chryssy and Brian sadly bid you adieu on our Finale Episode today. Sixteen times, we have had the absolute pleasure of hanging out with each other and letting you crash our party. We sincerely hope that our insights, trials, and tribulations have in some way helped you with yours. We are grateful for the opportunity to have laughed and even choked up a few times alongside you, our listeners.The show today is all about looking forward. We spent of lot of our time on this program reflecting on our pasts, but we’re ready for a new chapter. Brian had the great idea to think of springtime on our show today – renewal and regrowth and all that. Chryssy felt that was timely for a send off.Our drink today, inspired by thoughts of spring, is the Lily. The Lily is the signature drink of the Kentucky Oaks, the horse race run the day before the Kentucky Derby. Listen in to learn a little history.While we are on the subject of horses, our final Foreplay topic was a funny one. Chryssy and Brian speculate on what they would name their horse, should Not Quite Therapy raise a thoroughbred. The jokes extend all the way back to Episode 1, and we hope you enjoy remembering some of the funny moments with us.As Brian says, “when you’re ready, you’re ready,” so foreplay is quick today and we move on into the Down and Dirty. Today we talk about our dreams for ourselves and our children as we move forward into the great ahead. There’s a little bit of choking up, so grab your tissues. We can’t end with an “Until next time,” because there won’t be a next time. But that breaks out hearts just a little, so we bid you an awkward goodbye and really don’t offer the smoothest ending. But that’s ok, when things we love end, goodbye is often hard.Thank you for being part of our journey. We have simply loved entertaining you.

Happy New Year and Welcome to Season 3!!!!! Your favorite gals at How To Do Life are back with a fresh new season full of hope and possibility. There’s a new intro and new cover art and we are divas who livestream now. It’s the perfect time to get on board, no prerequisites required.2021 tried hard to hold on to 2020 throughout its first week with us. Chryssy and Heather are sure we can break free. Chryssy spoke to the universe on our collective behalf, and we learned it’s ok the be fragile. This was a tough pill to swallow, but it’s true, friends. Sometimes we are not strong. And that’s ok. Never fear – the only way out is up! And we are climbing.We celebrate the Browns beating the Steelers. This has been the high point of 2021 so far. Chryssy shares with us an article about the bullshit of mindfulness in a pandemic. Here it is: https://www.economist.com/1843/2020/11/27/mindfulness-is-useless-in-a-pandemicNo, what we need now isn’t mindfulness, it’s hope. Chryssy recommends you go listen to Andra Day sing “Rise Up” if you need a boost. Be gentle with each other right now, please.But also realize, friends, that extending ourselves a whole year of “grace” may have meant we slacked. It may have meant we allowed ourselves not to reach out goals. We gave ourselves permission to quit our routines, or gain weight, or not connect. Because 2020. And that’s fine. For a minute. But, it’s time. It’s time, people. That “grace period” can’t last forever. Make yourself some goals and get off your ass and after them. Let’s get into it.Until next time.

Happy New Year from the How To Do Life team! We are trying not to get too excited, but we are certainly ready to celebrate it NOT being 2020 anymore. Remember how we thought this year was going to be so grand? But, truly, remember also that Chryssy came back from Spain for our first show of 2020 with a warning. The universe had spoken to Chryssy and had not been nice. And Chryssy knew she was in for a lot of adversity in 2020. She just had no idea what it would look like or that everyone else would face it, too!But a New Year is upon us, and, come what may, it’s an opportunity for optimism. Chryssy encourages us to look back at those magic moments in life. To spend a little time reflecting on first words of our babies, and first kisses. Remember getting your license and saying your vows with that special someone. Here’s a list of some of life's regular bits of magic, to help remind you of all the good that’s happen and all there is to look forward to. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6190674/top-20-magical-moments-hearing-aid-hidden/Your homework is to start the New Year feeling however you feel. Check in with the universe and see what she may have in store for you, and above all, look for joy.Happy New Year! Until next time. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Chryssy and Brian decide there is no other way to celebrate New Year’s Eve than with champagne. We spice it up by making it a poinsettia, which means adding some cranberry juice. We throw in a couple frozen raspberries for good measure. Today’s champagne comes from a can and packs a punch. We learn that one coke can is the size of half a bottle of wine. Who knew?Since it’s New Years Eve, we talk about the year in review - the best and worst in parenting, navigating divorce, and life in general. Chryssy and Brian spend a good deal of time telling each other how great they are, so their New Year is off to a good start.Brian has been begging Chryssy to do an "Ask Us Anything” episode forever, and she finally caved. It led to a spirited conversation about their friendship and the origins of this show. Champagne has gone to their heads and there is some pretty honest conversation fit for a real therapy session.We are hoping 2020 held more highlights than low lights for you, and we’re wishing everyone every success in the new year. We will be back ONE MORE TIME with our SERIES FINALE EPISODE. It will be very forward looking and we can’t wait to celebrate with you. Until next time.

For anyone who has lost track, today is December 30. We are so so so close to the end of 2020, and Heather shares some of the highlights of the year. We take a brief look back in time at the innocent days of January, and take a moment to reflect on all we have learned this year. We give ourselves kudos for providing job security for mental health providers, and we also make plans for opening a new business in 2021: a super-fun, heavily-themed karaoke car wash. We struggle to make our sugar-plum-ridden minds compute toilet paper math, which was probably a bad decision considering we had already begun toasting to the end of the year with some crappy wine that Chryssy bought by accident.Usually, Heather likes to end the show with something uplifting and inspirational, but in this case she reveals that Nostradamus has predicted a zombie apocalypse and killer comets for 2021. So stay tuned for that.Until next time... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We have finally made it to Christmas Day, and Heather would like to celebrate with a nap. But, since she still has work to do, instead she indulges her closet-historian self with peeks into why we do what we do at Christmastime. We talk about the history of mistletoe, caroling, Christmas trees, tinsel, and more, all punctuated with some of Heather's knee-slapper Dad jokes, to which Chryssy responds appropriately, once again proving that Chryssy and Heather are destined by the universe to be friends.And, Heather gets schooled on great movie sequels and manages to work in various poo references. There is something for everyone! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Chryssy and Brian drink a Hot Toddy today while discussing Christmas porn and Midnight Mass.Seeing as it’s Christmas Eve, the pair talk about their Christmas Eve traditions. They also talk about Elves on fire - you can find some pics from Chryssy and Brian’s actual lives on the How To Do Life Facebook page. There’s a couple poor little elves who have really been through it.We take a spin into holiday gift giving for exes and family traditions and activities that are no more after divorce.The down and dirty today focuses on dating and new relationships at the holidays. We talk about when it’s appropriate to jump ship during the holidays and what’s expected in gift giving and family gatherings with a new partner. Next week, on New Year’s Eve!, we will be having a lively round of Ask Us Anything. Then it’s just one more week to the Series Finale.

The end of the year is nigh and we’re prepping to prep. We’re thinking about thinking about things.

We’re back! Chryssy and Brian spent the summer and fall away from the microphones, but are storming back with a vengeance to talk Divorce, Dating, and Co-Parenting, all with a holiday spin! This episode was put together by Brian! Chryssy is beyond delighted.The drink this week is eggnog – of course there’s some bourbon in there. Chryssy takes hers in her coffee, which she doesn’t find novel at all, but it blows Brian’s mind. Listen in to hear Brian take it real raunchy real fast as he spills his eggnog.During Foreplay, we talk about Brian’s bout with COVID. Then we revisit the Sinbad Genie Movie conspiracy and express fear over the world of deep fakes.The Down and Dirty today is a big topic. We’re talking all things divorce and co-parenting over the holidays. Do we spend more money now? Do we have new traditions? Do the schedules go as we’d like? Why does Brian have a very unattractive Nativity? Why is Chryssy’s tree a fake?It’s as uncomfortable and weird and wild as ever on this episode. And we’re happy to be with you again. Until next time.

Hello, friends! We find ourselves here, at the end of 2020 – and everyone still has plenty to argue and be righteous about!We talk about a local garden center in Tallahassee called Esposito’s, and a decision they made that led to the perfect blend between cancel culture and COVID Christmas changes. Oh, and Chryssy sings about the store.Speaking of COVID Christmas changes, how’s it affecting you? The ladies talk about how it’s affecting them and some of their friends.The holidays are upon us, so we kept it pretty quick and were sure to end it with a lovely, positive poem. Stay until the end to hear some words that might lift you up as you head into the second half of your week.Until next time! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This episode of Not Quite Therapy is the last of Season 1! Chryssy and Brian will be back with a holiday edition of NQT where we talk about navigating schedules, gift gifting, family traditions, and more. Today, though, we’re celebrating the end of a season and surviving twelve weeks of one another’s teasing.Our drink today is . . . CHAMPAGNE. Of course it is. It’s a celebration. Chryssy brought the Veuve and Brian brought the old timey glasses.In Foreplay today, we mix things up a bit, putting our topic that would usually be the Down and Dirty in the Foreplay spot. We offer a sneak peek to next season, as we talk about summer vacation schedules, weekly traditions, and new traditions we’ve started since divorce (or old ones we’ve carried on).The Down and Dirty today involves Chryssy sharing how she’s been setting intention and making space for new relationships. We talk a little about this article (https://www.thelawofattraction.com/6-physical-steps-to-attract-love-right-now/ - it’s pretty hokey but hopefully offers up the basic intention) and Chryssy shares with us here the link to a piece she wrote a while ago called The Dream Man List (https://psiloveyou.xyz/the-dream-man-list-f210ff301c8d). She suggests you know what your needs are in a partner, and that when you set those intentions in the back of your mind, you have an easier time weeding out potential partners who don’t fit the bill.There’s also a nice talk about lingerie and dresses and bedsheets. And there’s Yoda impressions. Producer Jon’s is better than Brian’s but both provide Chryssy with some much needed laughter.Brian has two book recommendations for you today, the first is Atomic Habits by James Clear and the second is How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big by Scott Adams.As the show goes on hiatus until fall, we ask you to spend the off week’s evaluating your relationships, what you want from them, and whether you are setting aside the intention and space to allow them to grow. Chryssy and Brian have loved sharing a little bit of our lives and our thoughts with you these past twelve weeks. Please check out our sister shows “How To Do Life with Chryssy and Heather” (where you can also get your Brian fix every 10th episode) and NEW SHOW “Heather Solves Everything.” Both are available right here on this platform where you find us. Keep in touch with us on Facebook, Instagram, and at ChryssyandHeather.com. We love you and we will miss you.Until next time. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Hello, friends! Our season is nearing a close, and we’re wrapping it up talking about co-parenting.But first, let’s talk about Japan!The drink today was Mango Sake from local sushi joint Izzy. Very low alcohol content, tastes like fruit juice, fits the theme! And we drank it out of Carnival Cruiselines glasses.Brian claims the Americans invented hot sake, but Google shows that is definitely a lie. Do not listen to Brian for facts on Japan.Chryssy unveils a little secret about Japanese cuisine and how to get access to the freshest ingredients and most yummy stuff. You can learn a little more here - https://www.japan-talk.com/jt/new/omakaseThe second Japanese word the team is unable to say is gyotaku. It’s the Japanese art of fish rubbing and you can see some beautiful Tallahassee local examples here (or in the dining room at local restaurant Cypress) - https://aquatic-impressions.com/During Foreplay, we talk about Daniel Sloss’ comedy special called Jigsaw. It’s available on Netflix and definitely worth the watch. Here’s a link to an article Chryssy wrote for the local paper (Tallahassee Democrat) about Jigsaw. https://www.tallahassee.com/story/life/2019/07/06/comedy-strikes-sobering-note-relationships/1653292001/Finally, in the down and dirty, we talk a bit about co-parenting. We suggested we may grab you a link to one of the many, many, many, many available co-parenting articles out there, but we didn’t. You’ll have no trouble scoring one on your own.Until next time!

Chryssy and Brian start the day with an escape plan! The two plan an exit to Barbados for a year. If you’d like to join them, read how here: https://www.scarymommy.com/barbados-work-visa-pandemic/The drink today is a Bloody Mary, mostly because this week’s show was recorded after Sunday brunch. Brian’s version of a Bloody Mary, which is what the team drank today, is a mix and some Vodka – add celery. Chryssy praises herself for keeping it low-maintenance and not asking him to whip up a mix from scratch, even though that’s what she really wanted to happen.During Foreplay, our duo talked about the Five Love Languages. Both have taken this quiz in the past and got different results this round. There is now a version for kids and teens, too. You can access the quizzes and start a conversation with your loved ones here: https://www.5lovelanguages.com/quizzes/Today’s Down and Dirty transitions from all the dating talk that’s been happening to a discussion on parenting. We talk about how divorce has impacted our children. We ponder the “what ifs” today. Then we end with a sill story about brunch.Until next time!

Listen in to learn the latest on the schedules for the end of the year for all three How To Do Programs – NQT is back and headed toward the series finale, HSE has wrapped its first season, and this show is chugging along hot as ever!Today is all about CANCEL culture. We explore what it is, where it came from, and how it’s influencing current society. The whole show is based on news articles and comments from Chryssy’s friends, many of whom ask to be kept anonymous. Because that’s how polarizing and powerful this phenomenon seems to be.We don’t make it through all the articles we’d hoped to. But here’s a good sampling for some education.Oh, and listen until the very end for a heck of a quote. Let us know if you know the origin. Until next time. Here are the many and varied links referenced on today’s show.

Today is the last day of dating talk, and Chryssy and Brian got really into it.Our drink was . . . WINE. We drank Conundrum white blend, which Brian called “the beige of wines,” and he’s not wrong. But it’s not derogatory. It’s just a super sippable wine that goes with everything. It’s part of the Wagner family of wines, which makes some fab labels, like Caymus.Onto foreplay, where Chryssy made her favorite little lab rat take a bunch of quizzes about his Attachment Style. Two duo compared their styles and then read an article about how they need to be loved, based on their results.You can take the first quiz, which dishes out percentages so that you can see your secondary styles, too, here: https://attachment.personaldevelopmentschool.com/Here is the article we read, and it has links to the other two quizzes we took: https://medium.com/tinglymind/this-is-how-you-finally-fall-in-love-based-on-your-attachment-style-ad8640447b30In the down and dirty, Chryssy asked Brian what some of the most threatening things ABOUT HIM are that make him undatable. Then Brian turned it around on Chryssy as well.All in all, we offered up some real things to self-analyze if you’re a member of the dating world or in a current partnership.Next up, we will dish on parenting post-divorce.Until next time!

Today we take the time to ponder a movie that never existed – but first, a drink.Our drink is Café Fizz – a coffee and booze drink.Fill a big cup with ice, add coffee liquor to taste, add a cap full of vanilla and a couple shots of spiced rum, and top it all off with ginger ale. It may sound like a conglomerate of strange ingredients, but it tastes good. Do you remember a movie in the 90’s called Shazzam starring Sinbad? Well, if you do, you are mistaken, because it simply doesn’t exist. Here’s an article about the Mandala effect, and more importantly, a tweet from Sinbad. https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/internet/2016/12/movie-doesn-t-exist-and-redditors-who-think-it-doesHere also is a very tongue-in-cheek confession that contains the phrase “yoga and Crisco,” which is hilarious. https://nj1015.com/sinbads-shazaam-genie-movie-he-admits-covering-it-up/In today’s down and dirty, Chryssy and Brian talk about dating in a pandemic, dating just to be with someone, dating people who have the opposite characteristics of our spouses, and how to begin to integrate someone new into your existing family unit (Note: neither Chryssy nor Brian seem to have a clue).Next week is the last stop on the dating train, then we will move into talking about parenting post-divorce.Until next time.
