The Laughing Couple

This is a hard one. No cap. There is no easy way to say it but after over 4 years of podcasting every week - we have decided to take a break from The Laughing Couple Podcast. This has been the most incredible journey for us. TLC started as something we created to bring us joy during the rough days of the pandemic, and it turned into a platform that has created space for important conversations, and more importantly a place for us all to laugh and celebrate the shitstorm that is life. We honestly Cannot thank you enough for your support, love and engagement over the years. You are the reason we've alway kept on going. Your amazing comments and reviews allowed us to understand the impact TLC has. Truly unmatch. Thank you once again for your incredible support and for being part of this journey with us. We've loved every moment and look forward to what's next. Until then, keep listening to the episodes you love, and stay connected with us online. You will likely see more of us. Remember: This isn't a goodbye - just a “see you later.” We're stepping away to take some time for ourselves, recharge, and to focus our energy on what we have built - and less on what we can build. The truth is, we don't yet know what the future holds for our show. Maybe a weekly episode? or monthly? We will let you know. We're taking this break to reflect, dream, and hopefully come back with renewed energy and fresh ideas. But for now - Let's dive in. Today we're talking about slang words "now vs then". It's pretty fun, no cap. Forever Grateful, Brittany & Ryan p.s Send us your favorite TLC moments and we can share them on socials! Enjoy!

Let's talk about the grueling pressure to always do more. It's like there's an unwritten rule that if you're not constantly doing more, you're doing something wrong. We're supposed to celebrate the hustle, glorify the grind, and have this relentless need to achieve more, be more, and have more. But when will I feel like i'm doing enough? and what does "too much" look like? In this episode, we delve into the delicate balance between ambition and presence with a sobering conversation about some pressures in our lives and the tolls they take. Join us as we explore the tension and stress that arise when juggling multiple commitments, starting new ventures, and striving for more, even when we already have what we desire. How do you balance so many things? and most importantly - when do you stop and take inventory of your life and make sure that the challenges you've added are still align with the end goals. because at the end of the day, what if, doing less, being present, and valuing quality over quantity were actually the keys to a more fulfilling life? Maybe, just maybe, the relentless pressure to always “do more” is a distraction from what truly matters. Who knows! Enjoy!

The new year brings with it, what feels like a fresh start; an opportunity to fix what isn't working and focus on what is working. We often use NYE as the placeholder for our goals but don't often prepare ourselves properly to actually turn those goals into reality.

This is where we come in; and with us to help you achieve your goals, we brought our good friend Tarot Lori. Did you know that NYE isn't the only opportunity to reset? In fact, you may be surprised to know that energetically and astrologically speaking, you have many times throughout the year to "release the old and embrace the bold".

Spoiler Alert: Big Fight at the end of this one... be prepared to take sides on this episode. Have you ever taken stock in the idea that either you are your partner is the pacesetter in your relationship? What is that you mean? great question. This is the person who consistently either starts, ends or pauses the hard conversations. If that's you, great... if that's your partner, great! The question is, have either of you ever checked in to see how that makes your partner feel? Either had we, so we did it live (and it wasn't good).
