Have you ever felt like asking for something was a bother to someone else so you'd rather not ask?! It's about time we all step into Patricia's main character energy and ask for that dang beverage!

It's the episode of seasons and shots of water?! Stay hydrated as Cathrin and Patricia break down their current seasons of life and how they stay warm through the rough seasons.

Join Cathrin and Patricia for their first book review of Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me, by Mindy Kaling. Breaking down our overall book rating, who we would be in a rom-com movie, and overall sister things.

No comment slides under the rug without us calling it out! Did you hear Cathrin say she was working out for a certain body image a few weeks ago?! We did and we are digger deeper and lifting heavy on this body-building journey.

The podcast that started from Cathrin's content diversification has become all about Patricia. Actually this one's all about our favorite babe, E. One year into motherhood, Patricia is sharing her birth story and Cathrin's talking about the miserable drive to be there. Happy birthday E!

Drum roll please….Cathrin plugged in her iPad! The update everyone was in their edge of their seat waiting for. Plugging in an iPad is an easy task but buying a home, phew that takes some planning.

What do pajama wedgies, a Santa onesie, and narrating your baby in a sassy way have in common?! ... Absolutely nothing. Yet we found a way to sneak them into this episode about habits! We're sharing our tips on how to form a new habit, staying consistent when you really don't want to, and even some not-so-great habits we're trying to kick this year.

You can block out the world but you can't block out your own opinions. Spoiler alert, this one has a lot of tear, fears, and revelations. Cathrin's opening up and Patricia's asking all the questions to make her dig deep.

One of us is already crushing goals are we are only on episode 2! Any guesses? This week we are getting into all of the questions you asked.

If you're like Cathrin and Patricia, you have so many questions. Was it the Thanksgiving of Patricia's dreams? Why was there a toilet on the deck in the rain? Was the furniture moved on time? Lastly, when will you hear from your favorite sisters again?! Don't worry, we're coming back for you... in 2023!

Its Thanksgiving week, did Patricia, Atticus and the babe go?! This week Cathrin and Patricia are breaking down traditions they had as kids and new ones they want to start. And of course, what would an episode be without Patricia harassing Cathrin about Thanksgiving?

Mom and Dad, this is not the episode for you! Please do us all a favor, and skip to the next one! But for everyone else... we're hitting a topic Cathrin has purposefully avoided talking about online: sex. Yep, you read that right. From our first time stories, rebounds, sex after baby and more, Patricia's making Cathrin real uncomfortable for this one. Book Mentioned: Self Power by Deepak Chopra.

Yikes! Not Cathrin on the verge of a breakdown picking out tile?! If only the babe was there to defend her vision. Cathrin and Patricia talk through their moments of anxiety and being overwhelmed, and learn what helps them cope.

First class flights, laser eye surgery, Master Shifu, baggy clothing, finger tattoos, and a betrayal?! If you're confused what all those things have to do with the topic of today's episode: "what are you hiding behind?", we're right there with you. In this episode, Patricia shares something that's been heavy on her heart and unpacks how her glasses have been holding her back, while Cathrin finally confronts her oversized crewneck addiction... finally.

What do you do when you have one sister who loves physical touch and another who loves quality time growing up sharing a bedroom?! Late night chats in one twin sized bed until your mom yells at you to go to sleep lol. This week we're discussing love languages. How we feel love from others and how we try our best to meet the people we care about with their love language. OH and Cathrin might just lose her spot as co-host?! Clearly she isn't making the cut showing Patricia love...

We love an independent woman! But do you ever feel like you can't be independent when you're in a relationship? Patricia and Cathrin break down their experiences of independence in a relationship and buying the dang shoes!

No offense... but how can your job not be your priority?! With the long list of things we all have to manage, it can be hard to decide what's top priority and what can be pushed to the back burner temporarily. So today, we're breaking down our list of priorities, how they have changed over the years, and why they are the way they are now. What comes first on the list: family, our dogs, work, or ourselves?! Listen along to find out!

What does it mean to be true to yourself and how the heck do you discover who you really are?! If you've been through middle school, you know that pushing away from the opinions of others and standing proudly in YOU doesn't always come easy. So in this episode, we're breaking down the recipe for success while sharing the impact of starting over at college and our different seasons of singleness had on shaping us into the women we are today.

How could we forget to break down the most important sibling relationship last week?! In this episode, Patricia and Cathrin are diving deep into how they have formed their unbreakable sisterhood bond and stayed so close over the years. Any guesses on who's more obsessed with who?

Just because you're siblings, and bonded for life according to Patricia, doesn't mean the relationship is always going to come easily. Especially when you throw in half and step siblings, 10+ year age gaps, and new additions to the family in your teens and twenties. So what does that look like for these two sisters who have only ever known a blended family from birth? In this episode, we're breaking down our sibling dynamic and how it's changed over the years as we've all gone through different seasons of life.

After a few rough weeks, it's safe to say that Patricia is officially burnt out and Cathrin is completely over the whole moving process. So in this very raw and real episode, we wanted to do a check-in to hold ourselves accountable to changing this narrative and creating a better balance in our lives. It's time to stop putting ourselves last.

Ever get embarrassed when someone compliments you? Why do we feel that way? Why are we afraid to be special or good at something? We all do it... but we shouldn't! We all have something cool or special about us. It's time we own it.

If you follow Cathrin's brand, then you know it's all about living the best life FOR YOU. So much so that she even has a tattoo of those words on her body (a bit dramatic, she knows). Well today we wanted to dive into what it means to live your life for yourself sharing stories of when we struggled to shut out the opinions of others, when it was important to stand by our own decisions, and even how to focus on your life and not others.

Ever feel like self care isn't top priority and you're finding it difficult to make time for the simple things you want (or need) to do? Well, you're not alone because Patricia feels the exact same. This week we're talking all things self care, what does it look like for each of us, and then challenging each other do to one specific act of self care before the next pod. Tune in next week to see how we did.

Ever wonder what our sister FaceTime calls are really like? This week we just wanted to do a little life check in on each other and chat about all things career, life, love, you name it. AND...*spoiler alert* the podcast gets the exclusive on some pretty big news!!

Sister, mother, friend, wife, dog mom, employee, business owner, and award winning podcaster (obviously), these are some of the titles we carry with us on a daily basis. We aren't just one thing but a combination of a bunch of things that make us who we are. And finding that "work life balance", managing it all, isn't always easy!

Ah, communication. Something that's so important to all relationships, but not always the easiest to master from the beginning. In today's episode we wanted to break down what healthy communication looks like to us, how we like to go about tough conversations, and what we did to improve our communication skills over the years.

This is a VERY special podcast episode as our favorite middle child, Patricia, turns 30!! We wanted to reflect a little on our twenties, things Patricia has learned in the last decade, how she has grown as an individual, and the impact living life has had on our confidence.

Have you ever had somebody look into your eyes and it feels like they are looking directly into your soul? Like they can read you for who you truly are, they genuinely want to know how you're doing in that moment, and you have nothing left to do but be vulnerable? Well today we want to talk about vulnerability and how it shows up in the work place as well as our daily lives.

We all know Patricia has an I Am Awesome playlist (that honestly we all need access to) but what other tricks do we have up our sleeves when it comes to lifting our spirits and getting out of a bad mood? Well today we're breaking it down. Sharing 8 tips that work for us, that might work for you too!

Ever wonder if you have any food allergies or sensitivities that you didn't know about? It took us 20+ years to discover we had food sensitivities and to use trial and error to figure out what worked best for our bodies. So today we're diving deep on the topic of food. Discussing everything from the proper way to eat a bagel to farting too much in the mornings. It may be a little TMI, and is definitely making Cathrin less attractive to our 9% male audience, but it's made a huge impact on our lives today!

This week we're holding each other accountable to the goals we set at the beginning of the year by doing a 6 month check in. Are we holding true to the intentions we set, what new habits have we created, and is it time to pivot on a goal that no longer aligns with the direction we want to go?

Spoiler alert: one of our goals for this year WASN'T to create a podcast or become a brain surgeon, but we talk about both in this episode. Why? Well we're almost half way through the year which is the perfect time to check in and reflect on our progress toward our yearly goals. But before we do that, we need to share the goals and intentions we set for 2022, why (and how) we committed to them, and our words for the year. Learn about Cathrin's goal setting mindset, Patricia's intention setting strategy, and when we first joined forces in setting goals together.

What do you do when the unexpected happens? When life throws you a terrible curve ball that you don't know how to handle? When it seems too difficult to get off the bathroom floor and at least shower? In today's episode, we wanted to talk about how we picked ourselves up during tough times, moved beyond the survival mode, and what support others offered that provided us the most comfort.

I once read in a book that you accept the love you think you deserve. So this week, we wanted to put it to the test. Has Patricia ever accepted a love that maybe she thought she deserved at the time? And how has she created a happy and healthy relationship with her husband, Chris, today? Then to flip the tables on Cathrin, the hard hitting question, why did she stay in a relationship where she wasn't happy and was treated poorly? And her thoughts on dating herself vs. accepting a love like that again.

Ever heard the quote: "you are the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with"? Today we challenged each other to think about our inner circle, in the past and in the present. Who are you surrounding yourself with? Are they a good positive influence? Are they helping you to go in the direction you want to go? And are they on your dart board? From making new friends to deciding when to distance yourself from old friends, we dive deep into building the right community FOR YOU!

At the start of the new year, we set the intention of saying 3 positive affirmations daily. Why?! In this episode, we dive deep into our own inner dialogue over the years and how we're actively trying to create a healthy mindset and positive self talk. We deserve love, respect, and happiness. We are smart, kind, sexy, and maybe even good in bed?! (sorry mom and dad...)

Personal development has not always been our jam. We have taken different journeys to get to where we are today; from going to therapy at 13 years old, teenage sadness, and all the milestones among the way. Patricia and Cathrin dive into what books light a fire for them and when they start getting nosey about each other's journey. *Disclaimer: this episode discusses suicide and self harm*

This week we're diving deeper into our pants as Patricia would say and taking a stroll down memory lane. Have you ever thought about what younger you be most proud of with the person you are and the life you have today? Dive into our stories and how much our lives varied from the path we "planned" starting at 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26...and can we predict what our lives will look like at 35?!

Dive into episode 1 with Cathrin and Patricia for a taste of who we are, the backstories of how we got here, why we wanted to start this podcast, and most importantly, why your pants are going to be SO uncomfortable. Welcome to the sisterhood!
