    Ivy Insights

    The ReDIScover podcast is an absolute joy to listen to. From the moment I started tuning in, I was instantly hooked. It has quickly become one of the highlights of my week, and I eagerly anticipate each new episode. This podcast is not only entertaining and informative, but it also provides a sense of comfort and warmth that is much needed in today's world.

    One of the best aspects of The ReDIScover podcast is the incredible chemistry between Jess and Kristen. Their friendship shines through in every conversation, making it feel like you're sitting down with two close friends. They have a way of making you feel like you're part of their inner circle, sharing stories and experiences that are relatable and heartwarming. Their vulnerability is truly inspiring, as they open up about their own personal journeys and challenges. Whether they're discussing Disney or offering life advice, their authenticity is what sets this podcast apart.

    Another great aspect of this podcast is the balance between Disney content and real-life topics. As expert cast members with a wealth of knowledge about all things Disney, Jess and Kristen provide invaluable insights into the parks, tips for planning vacations, and engaging discussions about Disney history. But what truly makes this podcast special is their ability to connect these magical moments to real-life lessons that are applicable to everyone. They tackle topics such as friendship, personal growth, faith/spirituality journeys, and finding your place in the world with grace and wisdom.

    If there were any downside to The ReDIScover podcast, it would be hard to find. However, if I had to nitpick, I would say that sometimes the episodes could benefit from a bit more structure or focus on specific topics. While I love their conversational style, there are moments when it feels like they may veer off track or wander into tangents. However, this can also add a certain charm to the podcast as it feels like you're simply eavesdropping on a natural conversation between friends.

    In conclusion, The ReDIScover podcast is a true gem. Jess and Kristen have created something truly special with their mix of Disney content, life advice, and heartfelt conversations. It is a podcast that not only brings joy and light into your day but also offers valuable insights and perspectives on life. Whether you're a Disney lover or simply looking for relatable, positive content, this podcast is perfect for anyone seeking inspiration and a little bit of magic in their lives.

    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

    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

    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...

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.

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.

    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.

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!

    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.

    Welcome back to ReDIScover for another heart-centered conversation! Today we are joined by Lucy Shiplee, who is truly one of the most passionate people we know. 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.

    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.

    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.

Trust me when I say this - these questions do not disappoint!

    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.
