ReDIScover

rediscover is officially back and we missed you all very much! After a busy summer of transformation, we are getting grounded and centering back to one of our favorite constants in life - this podcast! Today we will reflect on things that make us feel right at home such as a place, person, perspective, creative outlet, or even a TV show! Specifically, we're talking about a cozy new apartment, tons of wedding updates, Emily in Paris reflections, and even welcoming a cameo from Kristen's fiance, Anthony! Thank you all so much for centering back right along with us. We appreciate you being here and are so thankful to share this space with you. Enjoy the fall season and we will talk to you soon!   Book Mentioned: The Third Gilmore Girl: A Memoir by Kelly Bishop    If you'd like to connect with us...     Jess:     Instagram: @JessicaFaye508  Youtube: Jessica Faye     Kristen:     Instagram: @positively.kristen     

welcome back, rediscover fam! happy taurus season to all you late April/May babies, and happy 31st birthday to our very own Jessica Faye! Jess is a Taurus through and through; her grounding energy holds space for everyone to find a safe space in her company, and her childlike spirit carries higher and higher with each passing year. as i told her on her birthday (5/08 baby!), she always knows when to fly and when to land. it is a privilege to be her friend and partner on this rediscover journey, and as always, today's episode is full of her beautiful perspective on life, love, and new beginnings. and speaking of new beginnings, I have a pretty major life update to share in this ep, so stay tuned for that! and in the midst of our devolvements about Ted Lasso, the new season of Bridgerton, Little Words Project (my current gig!) and of course, status updates on wedding plans, we're also giving our candid thoughts on Taylor Swift's latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, as well as the changes to the Eras Tour as it makes its way through Europe.  this month's episode is all about embracing change when it feels aligned, finding beauty in the contrast (and the chaos), and shifting perspectives. when everything feels like it's happening all at once and life feels overwhelming, saying "I GET to do this" instead of "I HAVE to do this" can make all the difference in the world. Abandoning that sense of obligation, stress, frustration, and anxiety for feelings of gratitude, excitement, joy, and purpose will bring you peace in every seaosn and circumstance, and just that small shift has the power to change your life - we promise.   Related YouTube Videos: BIRTHDAY VIDEO DIARY | Celebrating 508 in Cape Town and Journal Entry Reflection  Products Mentioned: Little Words Project: "Grow" Bracelet TikToks Mentioned: "You Might Just Be Okay" "Fortnight" country-style cover (TTPD) "But Daddy I Love Him" country-style cover (TTPD)  If you'd like to connect with us...     Jess:     Instagram: @JessicaFaye508  TikTok: @JessicaFaye508  Blog: The Road Jess Traveled --> 2.0 coming soon!  Youtube: Jessica Faye     Kristen:     Instagram: @positively.kristen 

Welcome back, rediscover fam! Last month we worked through a lot of emotions, and now as we spring into April we have a joy-filled episode to share with you all. First and foremost, we have a major wedding update - Kristen said yes to her dream wedding dress!

hey, rediscover fam.  this month's episode is a little different from our more recent ones. in our own ways, we've both been feeling a little vulnerable, a little refelctive, a little...low. so, in the spirit of staying true to our pillar of authenticity, we're pulling back the curtain and sharing some of the more challenging mindsets we've been trying to shift recently, and the internal battles that we've each struggled to overcome.   this episode might have a less vibrant feel than usual, and our tone might be more subdued, but this conversation is one of the most real, raw, and honest ones we've ever had on the show. we'll discuss: the self-care industry and the innumerable marketing schemes that try to sell us a "better" life than the one we're living now how being a chronic "fixer" can cause us to create problems where there were none the pressures and expectations of having a social media presence, and how living life online can blur boundaries and breed unrealistic expectations societal expectations and how major life milestones can cause a tidal wave of unsolicited opinions why we feel guilty for having bad days when we're supposed to be happy  & more! if you're in the midst of a challenging season, a significant life change, or you're just working on abandoning old minsets for new and more supportive ones, we hope this episode provides a little wisdom, a bit of solidarity, and a place to begin. we love you all, thanks for listening!    Resources Mentioned:   The Liz Moody Podcast - What Everyone Gets Wrong About Self-Care & Burnout (+ What To Do Instead) With Dr. Pooja Lakshmin   If you'd like to connect with us...   Jess:   Instagram: @JessicaFaye508 TikTok: @JessicaFaye508 Blog: The Road Jess Traveled Youtube: Jessica Faye   Kristen:   Instagram: @positively.kristen 

Hello everyone and welcome back to rediscover! We officially have two engaged girlies here on rediscover now, as Jess just got to experience her own magical proposal while out traveling in Finland! Listen along so you can hear the full story! The engagement happened less than 48 hours before recording this episode, so we had the very special opportunity to record Kristen's live reaction to finding out the news. This is such a cherished memory and milestone in our journeys, and we're so glad you're all here with us as it unfolds. We are both officially entering our bridal era with full hearts, open minds, and more excitement than younger versions of ourselves could've ever imagined.   Kristen's Proposal Episode: 78. KRISTEN SAID YES!!! full circle moments, being present, and embracing seasons of transition

Happy New Year, rediscover fam! Instead of sprinting into 2024, we're easing into the marathon of a brand new year with new perspectives, mindset shifts, and realizations that we can turn into lasting resolutions. Instead of cultivating unrealistic goals and expectations, we're exploring the small changes that have the potential to create big, impactful ripples in our lives this year, and dismantling the societal idealization of New Years resolutions that can leave us feeling burnt out, drained, and uninspired. We hope that some of our intentions for the year ahead will inspire you, and that you'll come along with us as we lean (gently) into a new year of rediscovering our most authentic selves, together. So cuddle up with a blanket, turn on those twinkle lights, and wrap both hands around your mug of something cozy, because we're welcoming the new year in our hygge era!   Past Rediscover Episodes Mentioned: 6.

Happy Holidays, rediscover fam! We are heading into December full steam ahead and here to share a fun episode with you to round out the year! This one is heavy on the life updates - talking about everything from Germany travel updates,

Welcome back to rediscover, fam! This month's episode covers a full spectrum of topics, from fun and exciting life updates and travel plans to an in-depth examination of how to abandon societal norms, expectations, and timelines for a life filled with happiness and contentment in the here and now.  On the fun and exciting end of the spectrum, we're chatting about the highly anticipated release of 1989 (Taylor's Version)!!! We're taking it back to the 1989 era and the album's initial relase in 2014, reminiscing and rediscovering where we were and what was going on in our lives at the time. It's incredible how much that album shaped our experiences by simply playing in the background of our lives almost a decade ago, and the milestones moments that will forever be tied to those songs. And speaking of milestone moments, Jess and Steven are about to embark on PHASE 2 of nomad life, and you won't BELIEVE where their world travel adventures are taking them next! As always, Jess has insight, inspiration, tips and advice to share as they get ready to head back out into the great wide somewhere. It's going to be pure magic, so don't miss it! As we plunge deeper into our conversation and round out the episode, we're examining closely the words and language we use to describe our circumstances, and how shifting our perspectives and diminishing both negativity and systemic fear can help us to find joy and fulfillment in every season. We're learning how to block out the "shoulds," pave our own path, and remind ourselves that no matter where we are on our journey, we're exactly where we're meant to be.  That's something to contemplate as the holiday season approaches, and we hope that our experiences and all that we've learned and discovered (or rediscovered) about ourselves will help you to embody your fullest, most authentic self in every context that you find yourself in. So if you're at Thanksgiving dinner and you notice the conversation steering itself in your direction, we're with you in solidarity and in spirit - you've got this!  Happy Thanksgiving from our little rediscover fam to you and yours - we're so thankful to be on this wild and wonderful journey with you!    Resources Mentioned: Kristen's Autumn Playlist - Listen on Spotify Outwitting the Devil: The Secrets to Freedom and Success | Napoleon Hill   If you'd like to connect with us...

Welcome back to another episode of rediscover! rediscover has officially been around for 3 whole years, can you believe it?! Today's episode was recorded on September 17th, which was rediscover's original release date back in 2020. Whether you are a brand new listener or an OG, we are so thankful to have you as part of our rediscover fam. Today's episode honors the journey we have been on, not only with this podcast but within life itself. There is no ultimate "outcome" with what we do here - only an evolution of styles, topics, lessons, and connections. Our conversation today also dove into reevaluating our "why" of posting on social media. It feels like there's a change in the winds in the way we share and consume content. It will be exciting to see how it all unfolds! Whether it be social media or something else, we realize how important it is to detach and be the observer of everything that crosses our paths. We know these things are not who we are but rather something we do or experience - and that makes for a whole different approach. When you practice the "law of unwavering faith" things often happen within the 11th hour. So let's reflect on past examples of where instances like this unfolded, accept that doubt can exist in the process, and relax in the Knowing that everything truly happens in its perfect time.   Journal Prompt Mentioned: (credit to Kathrin Zenkina) Take a moment to reflect on some of the most amazing manifestations that have happened in your life -- List as many as you want! Write down the quick backstory of these manifestations and note what part you played in the co-creation process vs. the part that the Universe played in these creations.   Resources Mentioned: Journal App: DayOne Screen Time App: ScreenZen USB Adaptor   If you'd like to connect with us...

Welcome to rediscover! Whether this is your first time listening or you've been with us since the beginning, this episode promises to be one of our most pivotal and exciting of all-time! We're sharing some incredible full-circle moments, personal growth epiphanies, and a BIG life announcement! With Mercury still in the microwave...what else could you expect!? rediscover is all about embracing seasons of transition, and September is the perfect month to do just that. As we say farewell to the Summer For the Girls and look forward to romanticizing our lives in Autumn, we're grounding ourselves in this moment (it's all we have!) and reflecting on how growing up and growing older has not only shifted our prioirties, but our whole outlook on life, living well, and being present.  this month's episode is a celebration of the here and now, not what's coming next or all the things that came before. it's an opportunity to practice presence, and we hope you'll find peace and contentment in joining us in this space. the (intentional) wedding plans can wait...we're savoring September!

Buckle up girls, gays, theys, and golden retriever boyfriends because this episode is for you. It's a summer for the girls and today on rediscover WE ARE GETTING INTO IT! Why is it a summer for the girls, you ask? Well, to put it simply, it's the summer of The Eras Tour and The Barbie Movie. What a magnificent time to be alive! We are bringing you full reviews, first impressions, and truly celebrating what it means to be a woman.  The journey of womanhood is one of so much beauty, but also has so many complexities and layers. It can be extremely humbling at times, especially when we need to question our own views that have been fed to us from the lens of the patriarchal structure we were born into. It's exciting to break down these walls, see things from a more curious and neutral standpoint, and to choose AGAIN for the highest good of all. It's such a gift to be able to reclaim and nurture our innate feminine nature. So today, we'll talk Taylor Swift. We'll talk Barbie. We're going to go into some deep spiritual growth topics and even stock up your summer reading list! This episode is the perfect one for Leo season and we're so excited to have this super fun (and important!) conversation with you.

Hello and welcome back to rediscover! On this month's episode, we're leaning FULL SEND into Cancer season! From love and goodbyes to taking risks and career shifts, our July conversation is a bit of a freefall, so strap in and get ready for a wild ride!  Life is a spectrum of euphoria, contentment, grief and loss, and we're sharing stories and recent experiences that have taught us so many valuable lessons, but especially this: that even in the midst of your insecurity, your intuition is ever-present, connecting you back to your highest self and guiding you on your highest journey.  Today's conversation is all about embracing that adventure and learning to show yourself compassion and grace in every circumstance. Throughout this tribute to all our sweet Cancers out there, we've got some major life updates that cover the full spectrum, and we hope our perspectives resonate with you and provide you with some thought-provoking takeaways to ponder as you rediscover your highest self, surrender to the here and now, and just say: "F*ck it, let's go!"   Check out Jess' Travel Guides! *NEW* - Your Bucket List Guide to Greece Your Bucket List Guide to Scotland The Road Jess Traveled: Paris Itinerary   If you'd like to connect with us...

Hello everyone and welcome back to rediscover! While last month's episode was very grounded in true Taurus season nature, this month's episode took us for a chaotic ride as Gemini season is in full swing. We started the episode off by easing into some typical conversations about summertime excitement, checking in on Jess' Costa Rica Travels, and sending love to our pets who are sick or passed on. As the episode continues, Steven enters the scene with an ear infection, the air conditioner in Jess's hostel needed repairs, we lost half of a zoom recording, and Kristen's calm night of dog-sitting turned into monitoring a tick!  However, even with all of that chaos, we still had time to discuss the Live-Action remake of The Little Mermaid. So if you're looking for a more real and raw rediscover episode, this one is for you. Thanks for sticking with us through ALL seasons of time, and we will talk to you soon!   Check out Jess' Travel Guides! *NEW* - Your Bucket List Guide to Greece Your Bucket List Guide to Scotland The Road Jess Traveled: Paris Itinerary   Here's the link to The Parent Trap Shirt!   If you'd like to connect with us...

Welcome back to rediscover! It's Taurus season, and this month's conversation is all about slowing down and getting grounded in our most authentic selves. We're going inward and examining the spaces that we want to heal, nurture, and grow, and that require vulnerability.  From contemplating the concepts of sober curiosity and intentional drinking to surrendering to our circumstances and unpacking what it means to truly design a life that is aligned with our most honest desires, we are digging deep into what it means to know who you are and live accordingly. We're getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, and with being on the outside looking in. Being authentic has nothing to do with being liked or admired, but everything to do with feeling content in our day-to-day lives and comfortable in our own skin. It's not always easy, and it definitely takes time, but we're here to help you out along the way; to hold space for whatever you're walking through and remind you that you're never alone. We hope you resonate with today's conversation and that you feel like you're right here with us - sitting on Jess' bedroom floor, two hands wrapped around a cup of something cozy, having a chat with your best friends. Thank you so much for being here, and we'll talk to you again in June!    Resources Mentioned: Faith | @thathealingfeeling | Nervous System Coach Kathrin | @manifestationbabe | Manifestation Teacher   Past rediscover Episodes Mentioned: 12.

Welcome back to rediscover! We did a little "spring cleaning" on today's episode - revisiting some old topics from the past and diving into some new ones! Some of the new and lighthearted subjects we talked about today are the weddings we've attended recently, as well as the upcoming excitement for high school reunions! One of the more technical topics we discussed is how important it is to back up your photos and videos to external storage, how to do it, and the emotional roller coaster that comes along with revisiting your past self. Rewinding back to 2021, we revisited the conversations centered around social media usage and patterns in dating. Now that we've learned so much about health effects and subconscious mindset work, it's really incredible to see how our perspectives have evolved since then. It's really empowering to make choices from a more conscious space rather than just going on autopilot, and we hope to always continue growing these areas for the years to come! We hope you enjoy today's conversation and that you feel like you're right here along with us - sitting on Jess' bedroom floor, chatting with your gal pals, and sipping on a cup of something cozy.

Welcome back to rediscover! Today's episode features a beautifully unhinged array of topics - from career shifts and travel plans to observations we're making about the world around us and how we're rediscovering ourselves in this transitional season. As we begin to ease out of winter and look forward to the hope and rejuvenation that springtime brings, we're checking in with each other (and with you!) and holding space for all of the changes that are coming our way, and all of the exciting things on the horizon! Together, we're learning to dance with our fear and embracing all the possibilities of the unknown, and finding small but powerful ways to experience peace in the "now" and savor the moment.  We hope you find our conversations both empowering and validating, and that you'll come back next time, on the first Tuesday of the month, for a brand new episode. This is a space held for you to feel seen, known, and understood, and while we continue to rediscover ourselves, we hope you'll feel like you're right here with us, holding on to a cup of something cozy and settled in for a chat with two best friends!   Check out Jess' New Travel Guides!

After a several-month hiatus, rediscover is BACK and better than ever. We have reunited in the New Year and are taking a brand new approach to the way we create our beloved podcast. Moving forward, our episodes are going to be much less structured and flow more like a “coffee shop-style” chat. We're going to speak about whatever is on our hearts and minds at the time of recording, to truly capture the most authentic real-time experience possible. We can't wait to see how we grow over the year! Today's episode was recorded in the middle of January, where we are deep in wintertime “rest mode." We are experiencing a slowed-down pace with lots of inward reflection, which is in the process of revealing what is most important to us. We discussed everything from the inconsistencies of the “work-life balance” concept in real-time, to how subconscious beliefs unknowingly drive our actions. And we even did a thorough recap on what's been going on with both of us for the last six months - which has been full of adventure, rediscovery, and even love! We are so happy to be back and so grateful to have you here. With our new schedule, we will be releasing new episodes on the first Tuesday of every month. We are so excited to continue rediscovering life together! We'll see you next time!   And if you would like to connect with us...

Lucy is someone who creates her life around doing what she loves every day, and those choices have truly taken her around the world and back! We are continuing "London Bridge" month, and it just so happens that Lucy is from London, England! She just moved back to London actually - for the past decade, Lucy has been off doing SEVEN contracts with Disney Cruise Line, as well as a Cultural Representative Program at EPCOT.

Also in today's conversation, you will hear all about Lucy's realities of ship life and the CRP and what kept her going during her most intensive seasons. The episode wraps up with some deep introspection about how you can cultivate your most passionate life and how to check in with yourself to make sure you are spending your time on this earth doing what you love to do.

Welcome back to ReDIScover, everyone! Today's episode is going to look at some Disney Women we admire through the lens of how they defied gender "norms" in their stories, societies, and cultures. These characters set great examples of women stepping out of age-old constructs into a new, better, and more authentic way of living. Whether they were a woman who was: Sneaking off to war in place of her father, even when it was forbidden for women

Welcome back to ReDIScover, and happy International Women's Month! We're celebrating the beautiful, magical journey of feminine empowerment all month long, and on today's episode, we're having an in-depth conversation all about Periods. We're breaking down the walls of shame and stigma and addressing the lack of education around this topic, debunking the myths that we were all taught to be true, and sharing some personal stories and experiences to engage authentically in a space that has been hushed up for FAR too long. We've even got some tips and ideas for how you can support yourself (or the women in your life) and make this time of the menstrual cycle a time of connection and rediscovering your unique relationship with your own body. We hope this episode will bring you a sense of solidarity and validation, and that you'll know you're never alone on this journey in your body, mind, and soul.

Welcome back, ReDIScover fam! As you guys may already know, Disney and Spirituality are two of our all-time favorite topics to discuss. So, today's episode is going to be a Disney and Spirituality infusion! We each chose a Disney movie we felt pulled to and picked out the Spiritual themes we noticed within the characters or throughout the plot. Some themes include: following your intuition, trusting yourself, surrendering to change, and self-discovery. Whether you're mystified by the Enchanted Forest, feel called to be a Voyager out on the Ocean, or are enchanted by floating Golden Lanterns in the sky

Welcome back to ReDIScover! In today's episode, we're diving into the veritable ocean of souls and soulmates. From how these people we resonate with so deeply impact our life journeys to the way we know that someone we've met actually is a soulmate, this is a truly spiritual conversation about our connections to each other and what it all means in the grand scheme of our story. In romance and friendship and even those spaces where someone comes into our lives just for a season, we're ambling down the path of curiosity today, and we invite you to join us as we authentically and intentionally ask ourselves: what IS a Soulmate, and have I met one of mine?   Episodes Mentioned: 12. The Friendship Episode 23. What We've Learned From Dating 25. Growth in Singleness   And if you would like to connect with us...

We are kicking off Season 3 of ReDIScover by having a conversation with Hayley Morris - a lifelong comedian and digital creator who may be one of the most clever people creating videos on TikTok and Instagram Reels today! After having to leave her UK Cultural Representative Program at Disney during the pandemic, Hayley dipped into her lifelong passion for comedy as she tried to figure out what was next. She got a glimmer of inspiration to film a "Me vs. Brain" skit about intrusive thoughts... and it completely charmed the internet with its utter relatability!  Ever since, Hayley has made loads of hilarious videos with characters based on the human body including Brain, Period, Stomach, Vagina, Liver, Bladder, Poop, Pee - you name it! These characters come to life with their own unique personalities and hilarious outfits and, in the videos, they actually have a chat with Hayley herself. We promise you'll laugh your butts off. (oh yeah, Butt is a character, too!) During today's interview, we got to ask Hayley more about her journey, her creative process, and her feelings about manifesting more than 1 million followers after creating content for over 10 years! We are so thrilled to celebrate Hayley and her dream come true, and we are sure you will love her just as much as we do!   Watch Hayley's Videos Here: TikTok: @hayleygeorgiamorris Instagram: @hayleymorris3   Other Places to Watch/Listen to Hayley's Content: YouTube Podcast: Conversation Time with Hayley Morris   And if you would like to connect with us...

Happy New Year, everyone! As we dream and plan for an incredible year full of creativity, authenticity, and fun surprises, we're kicking off 2022 by *re-releasing* one of our most iconic episodes of all time: our conversation with the talented, beautiful, incomparable Stacey Aswad! From 2005 to 2021, Stacey J. Aswad graced Walt Disney World Resort television and now has a permanent place in our hearts. She is someone we have looked up to for years and getting to host her on ReDIScover was an absolute dream come true. In this episode, we, of course, talked so much about Disney. However, this conversation turned into a true heart-to-heart about all aspects of life. We discussed everything from living your truth, trusting yourself, following your instincts, dealing with crossroads in life, being your own best friend, and embodying fearlessness. All while sharing lots of laughs and going on some glorious tangents for you to enjoy! Stacey is a true "student of life" and she brought forth such knowledge and wisdom. We hope you learn as much as we did and take some inspiration with you moving forward into the new year (and beyond!). Thank you again, Stacey, for joining us, and thank you all for listening!   Connect with Stacey: Instagram: @staceyjaswad Website: staceyjaswad.com   Resources Mentioned:  North Shore Animal League   And if you would like to connect with us...

There are so many ways to describe Christmas… enchanting, romantic, beautiful, and full of wonderment. Coincidentally, all of those words also describe the city of Paris! Bonjour everyone and welcome back to ReDIScover! With Jess continuing her nomadic journey during this month of December, we wanted to dedicate this episode to ReDIScovering what Paris is like during Christmastime. We will get Jess' first-hand perspective of the Parisian holiday experience, as well as some historic and traditional background from Kristen after several years of research. (and yes, of course we are going to talk about Christmas Markets!) Since we always have a Disney element involved, we will wrap up the episode by comparing what the holidays are like in Walt Disney World vs. Disneyland Paris! And why Jess thinks Disneyland Paris is a strong contender for the most “Christmassy” Disney Park experience around the globe. Thank you all for a FULL YEAR of ReDIScovering. We have laughed, we've cried, we've traveled, and we've learned so, so much. We appreciate you being here and wish each and every one of you a magical 2022!

Benvenuto and welcome back to ReDIScover! Today, we invite you to join us as we travel from Walt Disney World to Italy and back again, comparing the EPCOT version to the real country. With Jess currently in Italy (at the time of filming this episode) and Kristen having EPCOT in her backyard, we're taking this unique opportunity to discuss all things Italy - the architecture, the culture, and most importantly, THE FOOD! We'll determine the authenticity of EPCOT's iteration, and discuss some of the intricacies of living as an American in Italy. We hope you've brought your appetite and your sense of wanderlust - we're going to the land where they invented spaghetti!

To put a big, sparkly bow on top of our month honoring Extraordinary Women doing Incredible Things, we wanted to showcase our dear friend, Taylor, whose story has more layers than an elaborately decorated Christmas tree. Taylor's story is Hallmark Movie-worthy, but everything she shares is truly her Real Life - exactly like her brand. She has been living a life of authenticity all along and manifesting one thing to the next, without even knowing it. At Taylor's core, she has constantly been following her Mom's advice of "everything happens for a reason," and it has led her on quite an incredible path. This episode is Taylor's Version, and she is going to share about: Following her instincts on when to live (and not to live) in Orlando during College Her experience as a Fairy Godmother in Training at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique - both in Cinderella's Castle and aboard the Disney Fantasy The real-life fairytale of meeting her (now) husband, Julien, and how they managed long-distance from the States to Canada for 4 years What the process has been like moving to Canada during a pandemic Her absolute love of all things Christmas And an overview and some behind-the-scenes perspective of Taylor's small business, Gingerbread Couture! It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you, so BUCKLE UP for this very entertaining storytime with Taylor.

To close out a spectacular month filled with Unconventional Women doing Incredible Things, we interviewed Lia Russo who has such an inspiring story to tell. Passionate and driven, Lia is someone who takes life by the horns (in true Aries fashion) and chases after her dreams. She believes that desires are planted in your heart for a reason, and they begin as small whispers that can turn into truly remarkable journeys. The unfolding of Lia's story (so far) absolutely proves that. As our conversation progresses, you'll be able to see the interwoven connection between each piece we discuss. From our trip reporting days on the Disboards over 10 years ago, to Lia's lifelong acting career, to owning her own entertainment party company, and so much more, you'll be able to hear how Lia's resilience to chase after what sets her soul on fire has filled her life to the absolute brim.   Connect with Lia: Instagram: @capriamoon Twitter: @capriamoon   Once Upon a Princess NJ: https://www.onceuponaprincessnj.com/ Instagram: @onceuponaprincessnj   Lia's Podcast: The Ashlee + Jessicast Instagram: @ashleeandjessicast Episode Mentioned: Astrology of Jessica and Ashlee Simpson ft.

Welcome back to ReDIScover! It's a brand new month, and we're bringing in a brand new theme that we're SO excited to talk about. All November long, we're navigating the new normal of our world as it relates to our journey as women creating the lives we dream of living. We'll have special guests on the pod to share their stories, perspectives, and advice, but today we're unpacking what it means to us to build a life that reflects and aligns with our values and mindsets. As a society, we're moving away from conventional timelines and workplace dynamics. In 2021, “success” means something different to everybody, and we want to talk about why it's so important to have these conversations and engage in those spaces where we challenge the projected beliefs of our culture. We'll discuss our own experiences, the challenges we've met along the way, the difference between talking and doing, and the women who have and continue to inspire us. No matter your gender, age, or life path, we hope you'll find this conversation entertaining and instructive, and we hope it serves as a source of encouragement as you author your own story. Enjoy!

Today, we are keeping with our roots and taking you on the Jess & Kristen tour of our hometown: Buffalo, New York! We're both born and raised Buffalonians - it's the city we met and went to high school in, and it's the city where ReDIScover came to life. We're feeling nostalgic toward our native city, so we invite you to come along with us today as we take you on a tour of the  Buffalo of our past and present. We're reminiscing about our favorite childhood memories, talking all about the best things to see and do, where to eat and drink, and even sharing some hot tips that only us locals know.

Before the departure of ReDIScover's Travel Month, we wanted to have a conversation with someone who really embodies a world traveler's spirit, and that person is Steven Daniel! Steven is a fellow Disney lover and traveler, whose passions propelled him so far that he had the opportunity to take a position at Disney English in Nanjing, China. With little to no knowledge of what the city of Nanjing had in store, Steven dove in headfirst to a two-year adventure as an expat in China and learned so many incredible things along the way. For those who have contemplated living abroad, this is truly the episode for you! It is full of resources and perspectives of someone who has actually done it. We asked Steven how to handle international logistics, how to adapt to new cultures and environments, how to make friends while living in a completely new country, what types of challenges may come up, and the best tips that he accumulated along the way. You may already know Steven as Jess' boyfriend, so we are really excited to welcome him to his ReDIScover debut and introduce him in an episode about a topic that is really close to his heart. So, grab your passport and a beer, and let's chat about all things Living Abroad!   Connect with Steven: @stevenmeetsworld   And if you would like to connect with us...

Today we welcomed Stephanie Styles to the ReDIScover stage, who is not only a life-long musical theater performer but also a film and television actor. As well as a huge Disney fan!

Throughout Stephanie's life and career, she has consistently stayed grounded in her authenticity and her true self no matter where her path has lead her.

Hello and welcome back to ReDIScover Summer School! This week's episode has a bit of a nostalgic structure combined with some really thought-provoking content. We asked YOU GUYS to submit questions in an "Ask Abby" format (or in our case, "Ask J+K") as if we were writing an anonymous advice column in a school newspaper. Trust me when I say this - these questions do not disappoint! We talked about various topics including feeling "old," the post-college job search comparison trap, dealing with expectations not being met, how to stay motivated to create content when people can be judgemental on the internet, and good ol' imposter syndrome. This episode is definitely a DEEP DIVE but it has such relatable topics. Thank you all so much for your submissions and we hope you enjoy!   **DISCLAIMER: This is not medical or professional advice, it is all based on our own personal experiences and points of view.

To wrap up a month-long celebration of Motherhood, we invited our dear friend Vickie on the podcast to discuss what it's like to be a brand new Mom! You may remember Vickie from the "good old days" when the Bathrobe Princesses were born! The three of us went to high school together and time has been flying ever since. This episode is truly a full-circle moment! Vickie just recently experienced pregnancy, birth, and becoming a first-time Mom to her newborn Declan, which is a huge life milestone in itself. However, she also had the unexpected curveball of doing this all during a worldwide pandemic. It was amazing to get Vickie's insights on this transition into Motherhood, learning how to prioritize her well-being while balancing her nursing career, and the deep love she feels for her son.   Enjoy this episode?

Today we feature one of our most personal episodes on ReDIScover yet. We had the absolute honor of interviewing Jess' Mom (Shari / Momma Shar) to discuss the vocation of being a Mother. Every Mother has a different story. Momma Shar's journey is very unique and completely infused with love. We started off the conversation by reminiscing about pregnancy as well as reflecting on the heartbreak of miscarriage. We reviewed every stage of life from infant to toddler to school-age to adult. We discussed the choice of being a stay-at-home Mom and what that meant to Shari's family. We relived the bittersweet feelings of what it's like when your child grows up and moves away. We even talked about the dynamic of an adult mother-daughter relationship. As well as everything in between! Shari embodies such a faithful spirit. Her perspective offers a lens on Motherhood that is authentically heart-centered and full of unconditional love. From being present and cherishing every moment, to letting go, trusting, and surrendering, Shari reminds us that each stage of life, and being a Mother, is truly a precious gift. Through all of the laughs and all of the tears, this episode is an absolute treasure. We hope you enjoy!   Resources Mentioned: What to Expect When You're Expecting   And if you would like to connect with us...
