The Best Life Podcast

Money is a sensitive subject. For most of us, the way we think about, save, and spend money comes straight from our childhood and our parents' habits. Then, when we start to factor in a partner's money habits, things start to get even more complicated. Maybe one of you saves every penny, while the other loves to spend on the finer things. What we do know is that nothing changes if you don't talk about it. So if you and your partner are in need of a Money-Mindset-Makeover, it might be time to have a few hard conversations.   Our money behaviors often come from childhood [4:08] Savers vs. spenders [6:08] The more you give away, the more you welcome in [7:11] The value of saving and investing [10:52] Abundance (with a plan) [11:44] Know thyself [15:29] Have a conversation about what works for both of you [17:41] A balanced money mindset [22:00] Money helps you enjoy your life [24:32] Give yourself a buffer before you buy [27:26] Out of sight, out of mind [30:59] Needs, wants, and priorities [33:38] Hiding spending from your partner [36:56] Adding streams of income, just for yourself [39:57] Single-income households [43:36]   Use ‘thebestlife' at check-out for $50 OFF your Maddle board!   thehappinessdiet.com   Don't forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

We're 300 (and 2) episodes in! We've always joked about running out of things to talk about, and we finally did. Only a little kidding about that. Some of our best conversations come from our deep friendship, and that's something we've been able to maintain over the past 5 years through relationships old and new, moves to different cities, business decisions, family matters, and everything in between. Finding and keeping friends is harder than it seems, but here's how we keep ours going strong. Because even after all this time, we're still Best Friends living the Best Life.   We've run out of things to say [2:49] The ebbs and flows of our lives [4:38] Life changes, but the love remains the same [7:30] It's okay to do things just for the love of it [9:23] Putting in the effort [13:57] How to maintain friendships [17:28] Finding a way to touch base [20:52] Get involved to meet people [25:54] Everything is easy together [30:40]   Use ‘thebestlife' at check-out for $50 OFF your Maddle board!   thehappinessdiet.com   Don't forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

Making a mistake isn't the end of the world (even if it really feels like it.) A lot of children are conditioned to fear “messing up” and those children turn into perfectionist adults. Sure, perfectionism might take you “far” places, but at some point, that same perfectionism is going to stifle your creativity and keep you stuck in the same places. If you want to go even farther, you have to learn to embrace your mistakes and give yourself grace when you're wrong or you've messed up. You're tougher than you know, and even if you are wrong sometimes, everything is going to be just fine.   We're conditioned to fear making mistakes [0:58] Perfectionism makes you fragile [2:48] Imperfection is a productivity system [6:00] Having to be “perfect” stifles your creativity [6:54] The freedom of allowing yourself to make mistakes [9:25] Life just isn't that fragile [11:14] Growth requires other people [13:02] Resiliency takes you farther than perfectionism [14:32] A moment of self-compassion [18:08] Who makes the rules of “good” and “bad”?

The body positivity movement has been life-changing for so many people. Bodies come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and we ALL deserve to love ourselves, however we look. But we've noticed a weird trend, where body positivity turns… well, negative. Now if you show up online as a thin person, you're shaming people who aren't. Or if you express interest in losing some pounds or gaining some muscle, you “don't love yourself.” The body positivity movement is incredible in a lot of ways, but something is wrong when we're still focused on what “weight” means, rather than the act of being healthy, however that looks. As in most things, the best way to live a life you love is to worry about your own journey, and let others live theirs.   The line between body positivity and accepting unhealthy lifestyles [1:20] Why do you give a fuck what someone else looks like? [3:48] Shame never motivated anyone [5:32] Get right with YOUR journey [7:31] We're focused on the wrong enemy [9:28] Promoting health as en end result [11:47] If someone wants to be skinnier, that's okay!

The grass on the other side of the fence always looks greener… until you get over there and it's covered in ants or dog shit, or maybe it was just spray painted green. And at some point, you're still going to have to water and mow it. The grass may look greener, but that doesn't make it “better.” Spoiler alert: we aren't actually talking about grass. We're talking about everything: relationships, jobs, friends, homes, you name it. It can be so easy to compare the same old things that we have to whatever is shiny and new. And maybe that is what you want… but maybe you can learn to appreciate the grass you have, too.   New things are fun, but they lack depth [5:42] Understanding where you are in life [7:57] Owning the value of your own choices [10:30] If you want something else, try to cultivate it with what you have [13:15] Working through your “issues” will always help you [17:20] What you covet might not even be real [21:11] The answer is always to talk about your needs [24:31] Make the conscious choice to choose what you have [28:54] Your perception is always your choice [34:19] Getting caught up in our emotions [36:03]   thehappinessdiet.com   Get 20% OFF Organifi products at organifi.com using code ‘thebestlife'   Don't forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

When you have a personal brand or online business, you get a lot of comments from the peanut gallery—and by that, we mean that strangers feel like they get a say on what you post. Some times we get accused of posting pictures of ourselves for male attention. We definitely aren't, but even if that were true… who gives a fuck? Your social media, your rules. Maybe what we post can be a little polarizing at times, but that's how we've found amazing people like you who really GET us. So be a little polarizing sometimes. You'll find yourself surrounded by the right people.   Who are you posting for?

If you're brand new to business, there are a million different things you could be doing at any given time. You might be falling prey to shiny-object syndrome, just chasing after whatever seems like it'll bring you success the fastest. But if you keep changing things up without any real commitment, you'll never know what really works for you. Just like you wouldn't switch from making cake to pie halfway through the recipe, you shouldn't shuffle your business around every so often.   Beginners seem more susceptible to shiny-object syndrome [2:01] Follow through to the end [3:55] Constantly operating out of scarcity and urgency [5:26] Focus on one variable [8:25] How to decide what to focus on [11:23] Play to your strengths [14:14] There is no “right way” [16:23] You have enough time [18:03] What's the lowest hanging fruit?

Yes, food is fuel but it is so much more than that. Food is community and connection, and honestly, sometimes that shit is simply delicious. We used to be those kinds of people who weighed every ounce of food and cried if you asked for a bite—aka, we were obsessed and dysfunctional. Now we can share food without a second thought and it no longer has the same kind of power over us. If you're stuck in an unhealthy relationship with your food, know that food freedom is possible! It takes a little mindfulness and a lot of practice, but we're here on the other side, waiting for you to join us (and share a French fry or two).   Food obsession on competition diets [2:32] Dysfunctional food scarcity [4:11] Overcoming scarcity by sharing and mindfulness [7:10] Food can be a way to connect [10:10] Are you putting food on a pedestal?

Have you ever felt emotionally hijacked when a loved one told you a choice they made that you didn't agree with? Or maybe you're the person who's friends or family seem to judge every action you take. Even though someone's choices rarely have anything to do with us, it can be a struggle not to take it personally. Like most things in life, it's best to stay in your own lane as much as possible, and in the end, you'll be a lot happier and a lot more free because of it.   Supporting someone when you don't agree with their choice [3:30] Don't make it all about you [6:31] Get curious and ask questions [9:35] Friendships fall apart when you feel judged [12:44] You have to make the choice for yourself [14:40] Developing emotional maturity frees YOU [16:00] Noticing your own emotions [18:50] Always lead with compassion [21:55] Can people really change their minds?

We're all about female empowerment and confidence building here on The Best Life, but sometimes when we see another woman out there crushing it, our egos take a little hit. Why is that? Maybe we feel a little threatened, or maybe our societal conditioning tells us that women are supposed to be meek and insecure. Frankly, that's bullshit. There's a different way forward, and it starts with getting obsessed with your own life first. There's plenty of confidence for all of us.   Feeling threatened by another woman's confidence [1:27] Holding a mirror up to our own insecurities [5:37] Cultural shame and “should”s [7:31] Women embodying masculine qualities [10:42] We're all looking for congruency and patterns [12:40] Get excited about your own shit first [14:59] Authentic expression will attract the right kind of people [16:54] You don't have to justify who you are [19:46] The expectations placed on a leader [22:50]   thehappinessdiet.com   Get 20% OFF Organifi products at organifi.com using code ‘thebestlife'   Don't forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

Last week, the Supreme Court of the United States overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade case that guaranteed the federal right to an abortion, effectively criminalizing abortion in several states across America. You asked our opinion, so here it is: it's bullshit. Jill has never been pregnant, Danny has, and gave her daughter up for adoption, but their opinions are the same. A women should have the right to choose. She has the right to bodily autonomy. Adoption is not “the answer” and abortion is not caused by carelessness or a lack of care for human life. Banning abortion won't save any lives, it only causes more hurt.   The devastation about losing our bodily autonomy [3:06] Everything wrong with “Just give it up for adoption” [6:12] Everyone has their own unique situations [9:32] Why does one subset of belief have to impact everyone else?

We've spent a lot of our lives obsessing over food and exercise. We see it happen to others all the time: someone finds an extreme regimen that produces results, then they're terrified to try something new or give up their diet and exercise regime, which leads them to obsession and food phobias. Maybe you feel like extremes are the only way to keep results, but eventually obsession will break you. Take it from us, there is a better way. Your thoughts don't have to be ruled by food and you don't have to plan your life around 2+ hours in the gym. Moderation is possible. We know because we live it every day, and we have the Best Life because of it.   Food phobias and the anxiety of trying something new [1:06] Using fitness and nutrition as a control mechanism [5:16] You have to keep doing more to see a response [7:07] At some point, you'll reach a breaking point [9:48] Practicing mindfulness in your eating [13:09] Your metabolism is smarter than you think [16:02] Food mindfulness is within reach [19:19] Extreme is always an option, why not try moderation?

If you've made bad decisions in the past, how can you feel like you can ever trust yourself again? Whether its a decision about your work, your relationships, or any other life event, nothing crushes your self-trust more than a choice that went “wrong.” But what if it wasn't a mistake, even if it ended badly? And what if you could give yourself compassion for doing the best you could? What if—this time around—you make your decisions with more self-awareness and self-compassion and trust that no matter the outcome, you can handle it. Maybe that's the best way to build back your decision-making trust.   How can you trust yourself when you've made mistakes in the past? [7:40] Something that ends doesn't make it a bad decision [9:23] You have to actively choose the opposite of familiarity [12:12] Self-awareness and self-compassion is key [16:03] Your view of the world is not abject truth [17:42] Getting out of the same mental patterns [21:07] You have to believe you're worth more [24:12] Taking responsibility for your choices and actions [26:19] There is power in knowing, even if it hurts [29:41] Why not try something different?

Danny had a business trip planned this weekend… until her boyfriend had emergency surgery to have his appendix removed. Now she's torn between being a loyal partner, and being loyal to her clients (who she already had to cancel on for this exact meeting). In life, love, and business we often have competing values and priorities, and it's difficult to know which choice is the right choice. What we think? There isn't really a “right” or “wrong,” but there are consequences for both. It's up to you to decide which consequences you can best handle.   Conflicting values [5:53] Feelings of obligation [8:37] Different isn't better or worse [11:35] Know yourself: who are you putting first?

A lot of living the Best Life means having open and honest communication with those around you, but sometimes those conversations are difficult AF. If you need to talk with your loved ones, friends, coworkers, or team about something that might be unpleasant, and you need to know where to begin… Start here.

A lot of us have jobs, but they're just that: a job. They don't fill us with joy or make us jump out of bed in the morning, filled with purpose. So how do we find something more, how do we find a career? The beauty of the internet is that anyone can make money doing anything!

So, you accomplished everything you wanted… now what the hell are you supposed to do? Don't get us wrong, it's a great problem to have, but it can put you in a real funk when you feel like you don't have anything more to achieve.

You'd be hard pressed to find a woman today who never hated something about her body. Our society is so focused on how we look, and it's hard not to covet what we can't have. But that's the important part: we can't have it. Sure you have have surgery, you can diet and work out, but so much of how we look comes down to genetics. But you just can't change your DNA, no matter how badly you wish you could. Instead of channeling your feelings into body hatred, surround yourself with people who make you feel good, learn to love what you have, and realize that we are worth so much more than how we look.   Coveting other people's bodies [5:59] How we look is mostly based on genetics [8:42] Every body is different and every body is beautiful [10:47] Find people who make you feel good enough [13:13] Unfollow what triggers you, but understand why [14:46] Tastes will change—yours and society's [16:56] Get right with what you have [17:55] So much of beauty is subjective [21:08] Your body is not your worth [23:23] Find what makes you feel good [25:33] Start with neutrality before you get to love [28:48] Confidence is true beauty [30:11]   Check out Ep. 118: It's Never Too Late to Get Fit with Jamie Eason   thehappinessdiet.com   Get 20% OFF Organifi products at organifi.com using code ‘thebestlife'   Don't forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

The kind of vacation where the only thing we have to worry about is sun, sand, and relaxation.

Life is… hard. There's no way around it. Every now and again we come to a moment where we have to make a decision for the future, and we get caught up in trying to make the “right” choice.

We all know someone who seems to always be going through a crisis. Do bad things happen to some people more than others? And if that's true, are they manifesting the bad stuff, or is it all perspective? In any case, people rarely do something unless they're getting something out of it. Sometimes, the victim role is comfortable and familiar. Sometimes, it's easier to just push through the hard shit and ignore the bad feelings. We think it's all about perspective, and only you can decide that for yourself.   Do some people manifest bad things?

In the wake of the possible overturning of Roe v. Wade, you may be wondering if it's okay to use your business accounts to talk about it. Do social issues need to be kept separate from business? Well, that's really up to you. The way we see it is this: it's your personal brand, and if it really matters to you, you should be able to talk about it. People may love it or hate it, but it's not your job to cater to everyone's feelings. Post the shit you WANT to post.   Is it okay to talk about social issues on your business account?

Danny lost a bet, and as a result it meant she had to start 75 Hard. But upon further consideration, it has been decided that 75 Hard is a “hell no.” Look, we love a challenge as much as the next person, but this shit just ain't healthy. In almost any scenario, extreme measures cause extreme rebounds, and if you're really looking to build mental-fortitude or change your body, baby steps are the way to make that change last.

Easter Sunday just passed and it got us thinking about religion. We have our own experiences with religion, but things look a little different for us now. And while we recognize that our experiences are solely our own, we wanted to discuss with you how that has impacted our lives, and our journeys through spirituality and beyond.

2020 and beyond brought about a huge change in the working world. After time out of the office, very few people wanted to go back. Call it the Great Resignation, The Great Pause, or whatever else fits, but now more than ever, we have a huge wave of people who want to go all-in on themselves and their dreams.

For a lot of us, being our own bosses and working from home is part of our dream life… but damn, is it hard to stay productive! Being an adult is like having a never-ending to do list, so how do we stay so productive? Well, it looks a lot like doing it, deleting it, or delegating it. It also looks like a lot of things getting left undone. If it doesn't move the dial forward, then doing it doesn't mean real productivity.

Have you ever felt the pressure to be at a certain place in your career, have a certain amount of money, be married, have kids, or any number of life accomplishments by a certain time? We certainly have. Somehow, we get caught up in these self-and-societally imposed timelines of what life “should” look like by a certain age. Frankly, fuck that noise. Life looks so different than it did 50+ years ago, why should we expect the same things from ourselves? And do we even want those things in the first place?

It's no secret that we like to drink a glass of wine from time to time (or two, or three, or…). Maybe we shouldn't say it, but drinking is fun! But it's also really important to us to stay fit.

There's something about money that makes a lot of people insecure. Many will judge anyone they deem “more successful” than them, so often that it feels really scary to share any aspect of your financial success. The fear of “showing off” stops us from talking about our success at all! But who is that really helping? People are going to think whatever they want about you, and there's not really anything you can do to control it. So how do you enjoy the financial success you've worked hard for, guilt free?

We have on a guest this week after a long, long time without any. So excited to get this chance to chat with The Movement Maestro herself, Shanté Cofield.

We're all getting older, whether we want to or not. And we do not want. Like… at all. We do a lot of things in the name of “anti-aging” but is that a problem? Is focusing on anti-aging the same thing as fad dieting? In our opinions, it's all about perspective.

Does feeling burnt out by your work make you weak? Of course not! Burnout is real, and in our hustle culture, it's more prevalent than ever. But if you hate your work, then you're going to hate your life. There's a better way. Either you have to learn to enjoy the process, or you'll end up burnt out with nothing left to give.

Everything feels more than just a little contentious these days. People fight on the internet and cut off family or friends over the smallest disagreements. If you ask us, its just a little immature.

It's been a minute since we've gotten a little biz-nasty, and we thought it was about time. Danny and Jill are entrepreneurs, and investment is a huge part of running your own businesses. That begs the question: have they ever made a BAD investment? The shocking truth is, no.

You have great things inside you, Bestie. We see unlimited potential. So why don't you see it in yourself?

Are you the type of person that doesn't know how to be alone? It makes sense, most of us—especially those who are in relationships or with kids—rarely get time alone.

Can you be really strong and still be considered feminine? DUH. Muscles are just that—muscles.

What do you do when your parents still treat you like a teenager? Or when your extended family still treats you like you've never changed?
