We Love it Here

What would Jimmy do? Today, we have on our first ever guest and listen...he's a spicy one! After bottomless brunch, we came together to discuss what we would do in certain awkward, frustrating or just straight up weird situations that you guys sent in! You don't want to miss this episode!

This week's topic will be hard to digest for a lot of people but we love discussing what's not discussed. Pull up a chair as we unfold toxic masculinity (from a female perspective) and how it has shown up in our lives at one point or another. If you recognize that you can relate to any of our stories, don't be butt hurt... use it as a learning opportunity. You know you love it here as much as we love it here...

The only reason we have been MIA is because we have been trying to have this hot girl summer that everyone has been talking about. It feels good to be back and catch up with you all! In today's episode, we discuss ego and how not to take things personally...Pero like, how? If you are a human being chances are you take things personally all the time so join us while we try to tune in to our higher selves and talk about ways to get rid of this nasty nasty habit.

BOO! We know it's not October but when you're online dating spooky season is all year long. You've done this, you've had this done to you, and honestly.. we've had enough! Let's unpack why being a ghost is not only bad for your credit, it also makes you a shitty human. Find out why Lauren got kicked off tinder, what we are grateful for and why we would ghost a person. Our door is always open if you have any juicy ghosting stories..!

As you're about to be out and about this summer with your friends, don't let that one toxic friend ruin your fun. Let us help you confront them in a healthy way... and if you're the toxic friend, then let us help you take the feedback! Pull up a chair and listen to the do's and don'ts of conflict resolution in friendships. Sometimes you don't know how to approach that friend that is EXTREMELY annoying or selfish or straight up rude... but listen baby girl (or baby boy), you need to let them know what time it is!

We are backkkkk! We are finally reunited and it feels so good. We wanted to release a lighter episode so we decided to talk about some of our favorite/funniest travel stories. We have been in some VERY interesting situations to say the least, so tune in for an episode of the M&L adventures!

Ramadan Mubarak to all our Muslim listeners! We hope this holy month brings you peace, patience, love, and anything that your heart desires. That segues perfectly into this week's episode where we discuss friendships and relationships with people from different cultures and backgrounds. What we are NOT doing in 2021 is being ignorant.. no no no. If you‘re the kind of person who gets awkward and uncomfortable when talking about other people's norms, beliefs and traditions then this episode is for you! The beauty of having us as your hosts is that we get to discuss this topic from the perspective of a Jewish American and a Muslim Moroccan. This week's small business shoutout goes out to K Bella Nails (@kbellanails). We have known Karen, the owner/hairstylist/nail tech for years and years and one thing we love about her is that she's a perfectionist. She will not let you walk away from any of her services if you're not looking flawless. Karen just launched her nail business out of her home and we need you to stop what you're doing and go support/book your nail appointment ASAP!

As travel is hopefully opening back up and you're gearing up to go on a girl's or boy's trip, here's a tip.. don't be an asshole. Compromising while traveling with friends is important because guess what? The world unfortunately does not revolve around you.. and we know, that sucks! On this episode, we share tips on how not to be the friend no one wants to travel with. Our small business shoutout goes out to @uniquecarem and Giovanna, the best massage therapist that will ever lay hands on you. She's a magician for your body and you need her in your life! Follow and support her, and feel free to let her know that Mia sent you ;)

Do you ever take screenshots of ridiculous, stupid, or funny dating profiles and send them to your friends so you can laugh about them? That's basically what we do on this episode. If you don't want us to make fun of you, then be self-aware and put some thought into your dating profile

*Content Warning* In this episode we briefly discuss the topic of suicide. In this week's episode, we dig a little deeper and talk about mental health. This is a topic that hits close to home not only because 2020 was wild, but also because we had to navigate it throughout our friendship to better understand one another. Mental health is viewed and dealt with differently in different cultures and that is what we unpack for you guys. We also provide tips on how to be a supportive friend to someone dealing with anxiety, depression, or anything else. Our small business shoutout goes out to Mia's virtual fitness classes! Mia teaches classes on Zoom Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8AM EST that are guaranteed to kick your ass and help you hit your physical goal while working on your mental. Classes are recorded so if you miss a class you get the recording! Individual classes are $5 and the full week is $15. For more info, reach out to Mia at @bodybymiabenn. If you are going through a tough time and need someone to talk to, you can call SAMHSA's National Helpline – 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

On this season of ‘Mia and Lauren Take on the World'... we do not hold back! Instagram has become such a big part of everyone's lives and what you see is almost never what you get. We need to stop idolizing people who over-edit their photos and only care about likes and follows. Join us for an episode of pure honesty where we let you know how we really feel. We unpack social media personas, facetuning, oversharing, and a lot more! Trust us...you don't want to miss this. For this week's small business shoutout, we are putting the spotlight on Purrple Alien, an edibles company that sells absolutely delicious treats (S'mores, Fruity Pebble Rice Crispy Treats, Cinnamon Toast Crunch Treats, Space Gummies, etc.) infused with Delta 8.

Happy Women's History Month! For today's episode, we kindly ask you to put your claws away, roll up your sleeves and get ready to uplift other women. If you're a woman, you have most likely been part of a group that gossips about other women or have been gossiped about in the past. Why do we need to be catty? Join us as we talk about our theories, bring up personal stories and share some tips on how to be a dope-ass female. Our small business shout-out goes to Flix and Cheers (@flixandcheers) which is a theme-based cocktail kit delivery service founded by the one and only Rebekah Barr.

Pull up a chair and listen to us talk about... *drumroll please*... worst dates! In this episode, we talk about some cringey horrible first dates and then we read your stories and react to them.

The most highly demanded topic and one we are very passionate about...CONFIDENCE! We are all a work in progress when it comes to how we feel about ourselves and in this episode, we share personal experiences as well as tips that have worked for us. The only energy we are accepting from now on is 'I am the shit' and that's on period. We also plug a small business that we want you all to go support: BEG Events BEG hosts private and philanthropic events including but not limited to private dinners, fundraisers, company parties, weddings, bachelorettes, date nights, themed events, and so on.
