We started this podcast because we wanted to ultimately create a community that is confident in the unknowns of life. Life can be full of highs and lows and while celebrating the highs is important - we wanted to be there to talk about the lows and remind you that you are not alone in whatever you are feeling! So grab a glass of wine (or coffee depending on the time of day) and focus on living InTheNow!
Makenzie Bachman and Savannah Powell
We've talk about boundaries before, but this time we focused on boundaries specifically around holiday's and the pressure of saying yes to all the different events surrounding the holidays. News flash!!! It is okay to say no to some of them - your family should understand. You should never fill your plate too much to where you can't even enjoy the holidays.Tune in to hear all about how we have dealt with setting boundaries around the holidays.Let us know what you think and how much you missed us!!Be sure you are following us on insta to stay in the know! @makenziebachman, @savpowell, @inthenow_podcast.
Welcome to season 2 of InTheNow!! Did we intentionally end season 1 and start season 2? Nope not all - life got crazy and unfortunately the podcast wasn't our top priority.

Raw and real about where we are in this season and why we chose to take a step back.In all reality we are blessed and thankful to live the life we live, but its okay to struggle through that too.Let us know what you think and how much you missed us!!Be sure you are following us on insta to stay in the know! @makenziebachman, @savpowell, @inthenow_podcast.

During this episode we decided to fill in the gap between an emotionally abusive relationship & a healthy one. There is so much that comes after a relationship like that & we wanted to touch on a little bit of that. This topic is the largest onion ever & there are so many layers to unpack - we feel we have pulled back very few of those layers & will probably continue to talk on this topic! We also wrapped up the friendship side of things with a tid bit on how to make new friends! This episode was inspired by feedback from some of our wonderful listeners!!

This week we are still on the marriage & relationship train as we discuss the art of arguing - yes we do actually believe arguing effectively & respectfully is an art.
