Making Lemonade

We are back! We know you missed us. On this episode, we discuss what has been keeping us busy lately and our life with a new member of the family. We briefly discuss social media trends, the COVID19 vaccines, and our biggest reflections and lessons from the last year. Woah. The second half of the episode touches on goal setting. We break down how to successfully plan for reaching your goals, the key to accountability, and how to have fun and find some joy along the way. Let's make some lemonade. Cheers!

On this episode, Chas and Anna sit down and reflect on all things PARENTING. They discuss lessons they have learned, mom-shaming, expectations of kids, raising boys, listening to your intuition and the mistakes and beautiful moments along their journey. They discuss how the parents that can admit they struggle and make mistakes are THE BEST and how important is to create and maintain a village to help raise your children. They are definitely NOT experts, but always learning and getting better. Cheers to parenting and keeping whatever sanity you have left on this wild ride.

Welcome back! In this episode, Chas and Anna discuss going back to school during COVID, starting new daily routines, and of course, their experience meeting with a psychic! They touch on how she was able to tap into their personalities, purpose, children, and so much more. Tune in to hear for yourself and as always- thanks for listening!

Join us as we sit down with our dear friend and therapist, Lizzie Fenske, to discuss all things mental health, anxiety, eating disorders, and coping through COVID and beyond. Lizzie shares her incredible knowledge and expertise around disordered eating, managing mental health and how we can better understand the balance of healthy and unhealthy habits around food and exercise. We discuss the positive impact therapy has had on each of us and answer questions around therapy access, emotional eating, and the unrealistic standards that society has set for many. We hope you learn something from this candid and vulnerable conversation. Thanks for listening!

Let's get real and have a tough conversation, shall we? Everyone has them. You can't avoid them (although sometimes Anna and Chas do, whoops). Tough conversations are an important part of life and having the necessary skills to navigate them effectively is key. Join the Lemons as they discuss some hard conversations they have had in the past, the 4 agreements they use to make it through (created by Glenn Singleton), and how to effectively acknowledge and accept varying perspectives. The goal is for listeners to feel confident and to have the courage they need to have their own tough conversations with actual skills, terms, and strategies to proven to effectively communicate and listen. As always, thanks for listening. We hope you are ready to make some lemonade!

In this episode, Chas and Anna reflect on their experiences with quarantine and COVID, being home with their young children in a pandemic, the murder of George Floyd, and navigating conversations about race with kids and adults. They also discuss their perspectives as educators during the pandemic and taking their oldest son to the George Floyd Memorial in Minneapolis. They discuss the heaviness of these experiences, while also touching on the learning opportunities and hope they have for the future.

WE ARE LIVE! Welcome to the very first episode of Making Lemonade! In this intro episode, we will share how we got the idea to start the show, the reason behind the name, and the vision and goals we have for our listeners. We will break down the history of our relationship and our unique dynamic and commitment to one another. At the end of the show, we will play a fun game of 21 Questions. Think pet peeves, superpowers, biggest fears, and so much more. So, Let's MAKE SOME LEMONADE! ENJOY!
