do you ever feel like the weight of life's growth spurts is too heavy to see the light at the end of the tunnel? if no, then you're lying lmao…if yes, this episode should leave you encouraged to keep going :) simply bc the gain on the other side almost always outweighs the pain during the process. it's so easy to pull the plug & give up HOWEVER we're all badasses w/ colossal goals & don't have time for that, k? both of us have been undergoing some of life's most pivotal seasons & we know none of us are ever alone. so, let's talk about it!

once upon a time, we had quite the dramatic friendship breakup & it was um.....horrifying. like from maid of honor to maid of dishonor type level shit. of course many had their questions, inputs & assumptions coming from our small hometown but we're here to finally clear it all up for once. exposing the *real* deets of our downfall. this week we dive deep into the hardships of friendship, growing pains & normalizing that it's okay to take breaks sometimes. sometimes indefinitely. but other times, reconciliation may be in your favor & the relationship comes back bigger, better & stronger

due to some ~unforeseen circumstances~ it's been a hot minute since we were last on the mics. but WE'RE BACK BITCHES & with some of the most exciting yet super tough news that we've shared thus far. things are about to look a little different around here…well actually very much so, but hey, change is good right?! in this episode, we are focusing on long distance friendships/famships – the beauty, the pain & the gain. k anywaysss WE MISSED YOU & are over the moon to be back spilling tea :)instagram:- @real.talk.pod- @kaylajoywillett- @nikkimccooltaylorbusinesses:- @kaylawillettjewelry- @_mcsocial- @_thesocialnarrative- @jeffcoconcretewebsites:www.kaylawillett.comwww.mcsocial.orgwww.nikkitaylor.cotiktok:- @real.talk.pod- @kaylajoywillett- @nikkimccooltaylor

have you ever felt lost in trying to repossess your authentic power? maybe it's been depleted by unexpected curveballs, an identity crisis, lack of confidence, shitty relationships, crippling anxiety or literally any temporary roadblock you meet in life. or maybe you've yet to even begin uncovering your potential power and highest self. regardless, we refuse to stay in that dark, impotent place of playing small, feeling unworthy & giving away control to any person or circumstance. & we don't want you to stay stuck there either! fortunately, an array of relatable scenarios we share in this episode redirected us to discovering our unshakable, badassery power again. listen sis, you are a FORCE to be reckoned with...got that? k cool.

from once living with multiple roommates in college to now living solo or wifed up...that roomie shit is for the birds. we recap how our weeks are going, why we detest having ~roommates~, how amazing it is living alone (for you & your mental health stability), funneling four lokos & why you should absolutely leave your number on that receipt for the hot waiter. also...f*ck living with toxic people for the sake of cheap rent until your forever partner shows up, k?instagram:- @real.talk.pod- @kaylajoywillett- @nikkimccooltaylorbusinesses:- @kaylawillettjewelry- @_mcsocial- @_thesocialnarrative- @jeffcoconcretewebsites:www.kaylawillett.comwww.mcsocial.orgwww.nikkitaylor.cotiktok:- @real.talk.pod- @kaylajoywillett- @nikkimccooltaylor

bitch don't kill our vibe! jk but really—here's some insight on what we've learned through our personal experiences with the energy we dispense & the energy we attract. we briefly talk about solutions we've found valuable in being able to take back control of our occasional chaotic circumstances & choosing positivity. obviously, we still have our negative moments & get a little overly emo, however, the choice is always ours. sometimes you just gotta check & redirect sis.PS: we recorded in the dining room this time so love those ~echoey vibes~ for us lol, not again. learning as we grow! :)book mentioned: Super Attractor by Gabby Bernsteinpurchase book here: Super Attractorinstagram:- @real.talk.pod- @kaylajoywillett- @nikkimccooltaylorbusinesses:- @kaylawillettjewelry- @_mcsocial- @_thesocialnarrative- @jeffcoconcretewebsites:www.kaylawillett.comwww.mcsocial.orgwww.nikkitaylor.cotiktok:- @real.talk.pod- @kaylajoywillett- @nikkimccooltaylor
