Stroh's back, Evesdropping on another Two Broke podcast, Chit chat, That's Old News

There are clues in the Bible that our prayers are overheard by the enemy, or his minions. We should be vigilant and attentive to this. Learn how in this episode!

Emily & Meg discuss how people and stories are holding them hostage.  They explore how we give other people our power, letting them determine our happiness, our value, our worth. They consider how we take other people's stories personally and that begins this hostage situation because we get into the blame game and self-righteousness, all ways that deplete our personal power.  The keys to our freedom begin with awareness, self-compassion, self-validation, courage, and detachment. “One of the keys to freedom is awareness: when you realize your head is spinning, your focus is outside yourself or proving yourself.” “We have to learn to distinguish if we are in a lower state of being, a lower vibration in our bodies, in order to clear it.”  “The moment you realize you are doing mental gymnastics, you are in a tortured state.” “It can be as simple as I am going to let go, let go, let go, release all those sticky stories, even just on every exhale, it helps us reach for freedom.” “I realized I constantly braced, waiting for the moment I let these intense feelings pierce my soul. But that's when I knew I had to let them come in. I could handle them.” “Sometimes the hardest thing to understand is that you are bracing because there is some truth in other people's assessments of you or your situation and you are not being honest with yourself.” “Once you know your own limits, no one can hold them over your head anymore.” “Am I grounded in my body by these choices of nourishment and care or am I taken out of my body with my fearful thoughts?” “Are we constantly thinking that we are broken and a problem needing to be fixed?” Original Art by Meg Miller References from the episode: #byronkatie  #eckharttolle  #budha  For further exploration, we loved this book: Ready to Heal: Breaking Free of Addictive Relationships by @kellymcdanieltherapy  #detachment   #stateofflow #mythsthatmakeusmiserable #surrender #trust #Evesdropping #personalgrowth #spotifypodcasts #applepodcasts  #healing #positivevibes #selftrust #attachmentwound

Emily & Meg discuss what it means to be stripped of adornments, health, and abilities. They discuss their feelings about being vulnerable enough to ask someone for help during these times and what happens when we don't allow ourselves to receive that help. “When you are stripped away from feeling well, strong, radiant, it feels like a new level of vulnerability.” “People love doing things for me. I love receiving.” “If you cut off the receiving, it kills the whole cycle - the balance of giving and receiving - and it kills joy.” “You don't get what you don't ask for.” “Asking is an act of love for another person.” “The words and metaphors we use determine our outlook in life, so the word ‘needy' is sticky for me.” “Prayer is simply asking for help.” “Fear, anxiety, anger, dependency are all present during moments of our deepest vulnerability.” “Asking takes courage.” Original Art by Meg Miller References from the episode: Happythankyoumoreplease movie For further exploration, we loved this book: The Art of Asking: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help by #amandapalmer and #BreneBrown #personalpower #receiving #33percent #powerofasking #needy #softening #prayer #vulnerability #gratitude #health #podcastersofinstagram #podcastinglife #applepodcasts #spotifypodcasts #personalgrowth #selfdevelopment #selfhelp #positivevibes #mindsetpodcast #personaldevelopmentpodcast #podcastaddict #femalepodcasters #spiritualwarrior #useyourgifts #youaremorethanyouthink #thinkingofyou #selflove #trust #spreadinglove #motivationeveryday #Evesdropping #startyourevolutionbaby

Emily and Meg go round two on boundaries. They discuss what they've learned about what boundaries they need, how to express them, and how to manage the feelings that come with that new power. “Lack of clear boundaries are the root of all of our dysfunction.” “We can not state our intentions, manifest our intentions until we clear some really deep behavioral patterns that are driven by the boundaries that we were taught as children in order to belong in our family as a survival mechanism.” “Knowing your own values, trusting your intuition, not doing things out of obligation, sharing with others who have earned your trust are just a start of working with boundaries.” “Anxiety or overthinking are some immediate signs that our boundaries are not clear - either with our self or others.” “When my boundaries are working, I feel light and straight as an arrow.” “When you take action, however small, that moves you out of victim mode.” “In delivering boundaries, remember to be honest by giving them a reason, and then keep the communication to the fewest words possible.” “Boundaries are the gateway to healthy relationships and way we take care of ourselves.” References from the episode: #BreneBrown #selfcarewarrior For further exploration, we loved this book: The Highly Sensitive Person's Guide to Dealing with Toxic People: How to Reclaim Your Power from Narcissists and Other Manipulators by Shahida Arabi MA and Andrea Schneider *****Original Art by Meg Miller***** If you need help communicating with a high-conflict co-parent, please take Emily's course on Udemy: https://www.udemy.com/course/high-conflict-co-parenting-communication-course/ #boundaries #personalpower #boundariesbadass #healthyrelationships #settingboundaries #recovery #toxicrelationships #podcastersofinstagram #podcastinglife #applepodcasts #spotifypodcasts #personalgrowth #selfdevelopment #selfhelp #mindsetpodcast #personaldevelopmentpodcast #podcastaddict #femalepodcasters #spiritualwarrior #useyourgifts #youaremorethanyouthink #thinkingofyou #selflove #spreadinglove #motivationeveryday #Evesdropping #startyourevolutionbaby

On this episode of EVEsdropping we're talking about the 25 things you should be doing by the time you turn 25. Okay, so we only got to a few of them—but you can find the full list here: https://earnspendlive.com/2016/05/25-things-25/ We're also talking about the hate piece that was published about us (I know I know, we're SO famous!) and how dudes can successfully talk to women. Because, you know, we're sooo scary. Can you even like hug women anymore?

We have a very special guest on EVEsdropping today -- Nicole Wipp, CEO of Wipp Enterprises, a consulting and training firm that specializes in team building and leadership. We’ve been dying to talk to a team building expert because we’re young twentysomethings (as are you) and we work with a bunch of other young twentysomethings, and we’re all trying to figure out how to communicate professionally and move up the corporate ladder. Nicole's dishing her advice on learning more about yourself, navigating conflict, and understanding your teammates' behaviors.

Conflict at work is inevitable—but there are right and wrong ways to handle it. This week, we’re talking about how to deal with your co-workers as well as how to prevent conflict from happening. Plus, our girl Mindy Kaling is pregnant and we are HERE FOR IT. What’s Happening in the News? Caitlyn Jenner potentially running for senate. Just no. Dr. Who is now a woman. Feminism yay. Mindy Kaling is reportedly preeeegnant. (E! News reported it so it’s pretty much legit.) Real Talk: Dos and Don’ts of Handling Conflict at Work According to a conflict study from CPP Inc (from 2008), 85% of employees report dealing with conflict to some degree. Employees spend an average of 2.8 hours/week dealing with conflict. Personality clashes are responsible for nearly ½ of all workplace conflicts When is confrontation appropriate at work? When it’s hindering your ability to work, if it’s become a hostile work environment, or if sexual harassment is involved. Basically, when you can’t avoid it anymore   Our Personal Tips for Dealing With Work Conflict: Don’t get emotional. If it’s something small, like an out-of-the-blue mistake, send an email. If there’s an actual issue going on, schedule time to hash it out. But always try to work it out with the person you’re having a conflict with before you go above them to your boss or HR. Communicate 24/7 to prevent future issues. Suck it up. You’re not always going to get along with the people you work with; you just have to learn how to get along enough to be productive. Tips From an Expert on Dealing With Work Conflict: Dr. Maria Simpson, an executive coach, recommends that when you’re dealing with a conflict at work, you take the following steps: Get emotional distance from the immediate situation; Decide if a response is really necessary; Define the clear goal or results you want from responding; Plan the most appropriate response carefully; and Make it work. Read more ESL advice on office conflict here. Dear HBIC “I’m an assistant at a law firm. I take care of my boss’s correspondence and various others tasks he needs. Because of this I hear a lot about his personal life too. Not only that, he tells me way more about his personal life than is work appropriate. For example he once texted me that his child (who’s doesn’t live with him) was throwing a tantrum and he didn’t know what to do, or about a car accident he left without reporting anything. Last week it got to the worst point. He sent me a drunk text that he was sorry it had to end this way, and I thought he was firing me. It turned out he had some kind of mental break? He told me he was seeking professional help and now we haven’t had communication in a week. It makes me feel uncomfortable, but if I don’t talk to him then who will? He needs someone, I just wish it wasn’t me. There is also the fact that I don’t want to be fired; if I am cold-hearted to him will he want to keep me around?”   What We’re Loving This Week Elise: Soap and Glory. I tried their The Righteous Butter Instant Sunkissed Tint Body Lotion for the video we shot today and I am OBSESSED. It’s just the right amount of color so I don’t look pasty but I also still look like myself. And it washes off completely when you take a shower. You can find it at Target or by using our link: https://earnspendlive.com/go/soapandglory-sunkissedtint Meleah: My Day Designer has put the spark back in our relationship — by which I mean work is hectic and I’d be crazy without it. Boss/Adulting Moment Elise: I successfully went on vacation and didn’t check my work emails. I turned off all notifications, including Slack. It was wonderful. Meleah: I made time this weekend to volunteer with my little sister at the animal shelter and it was really great. Not only were the dogs and kittens really cute, but I also met some cool new people.

This week, we have special guest joining us: Austin, aka Elise's boyfriend, aka Laz's dad. Father's Day is this weekend, so we're talking about how becoming a cat parent totally changes your life. Plus, how can we not talk about that Bachelor in Paradise bombshell??? Our summer is officially ruined. What’s Happening in the News? Production on Bachelor in Paradise has been suspended maybe indefinitely???Almost definitely indefinitely. I don’t want to say too much because rumors are bad, but from all accounts, it was a bad situation, the producers should have stepped in, producers did not. Now they're being sued.It's like UnREAL IRL. Real Talk: Confessions of a Cat Dad Austin and I brought Laz home about six months ago. He was never really a cat person, but then he met Laz. And now he's a cat dad! You weren’t always a cat person. In fact, you really only agreed to getting a cat to make me happy. So how has that changed? It took me a minute, but I fell in love with Laz. He's really unique though; he's not a normal cat. He snuggles, he plays, and he likes having people over.  What things did you not expect when getting a cat? What’s had to change in your life? I didn't expect the vet bills. We've had a lot with Laz; he kind of had a rough start. How has Laz proven your perceptions of cats wrong? Every other cat I've ever known has been really skittish; even your other cats. When I'd come over, they'd disappear. So I was nervous to get a cat, but Laz is the coolest. He's like a dog. What’s the worst part about being a cat dad? There's litter everywhere constantly. We vacuum almost every day and it's still everywhere. What’s the best part about being a cat dad? Having a buddy to binge-watch TV with. We bonded over all six seasons of Game of Thrones. Do you still want a dog, or is Laz it? I still want a dog, someday. I loved raising Laz, so I'd want a puppy. But not now. That's too much work right now. Maybe when we get a house. How has raising a kitten together changed our relationship?It's definitely changed it for the better. We feel like more of a family + our communication has had to improve to establish who does what for Laz (like scooping his poop, brushing him, feeding him, etc.). Would You Rather… Have a house full of like 20 cats or never be able to get a pet ever? Not even a fish. Have a cat that acts like a dog or a dog that acts like a cat? Have a cat who doesn’t cuddle or a cat who doesn’t play? Boss/Adulting Moment Elise: ESL KPIs; created my own budget. Austin: I've been putting more money from each paycheck into my savings account.

Plus, we’re talking about Wonder Woman breaking the glass ceiling, all things The Bachelorette, and unREAL being pushed back to 2018 (wtf).

Bachelorette check-in: Rachel “loved” that Dean said “once you go black you never go back” and also one contestant has super offensive tweets. So a Bachelor intern is getting fired. ALSO ALSO Rachel might’ve dated a famous basketball player. Meleah: you mean a bach intern is getting a raise http://variety.com/2017/scene/vpage/unreal-co-creator-sarah-gertrude-shapiro-bachelorette-rachel-lindsay-unreal-lifetime-1202453839/ UnReal’s release is being pushed to 2018BOO those whores. Dear HBIC I’m 22 and I don’t have a credit card. I feel like I need to do something to build my credit, but my parents think getting a credit card is a mistake. What’s a good way to start building up my credit history and start being more financially independent? You're an adult, sooo you don't exactly need your parents' permission. Our advice would just be to get a credit card, but if you really want to respect your parents' wishes, you have a few options for building credit. Buy furniture (but make sure the furniture store reports to the credit bureau) and pay it off. Ask your parents to co-sign on a car (again, make sure they report) or a loan. Start paying off your student loans. Get a secured credit card. Your parents can load the money on there (like $200) and just use it for things like gas and eating out. Boss/Adulting Moment Meleah: Got my new job title finalized with my boss. It’s very exciting but I’m not 100% sure I’m allowed to tell y’all yet. Stay tuned. Elise: I made the switch to Day Designer and I am more organized than ever. Literally obsessed. I’ve thought about posting pictures but I don’t want to like “glorify busy” or w/e.

Our personal mantra might be "just let me live," but our professional mantra is "soft skills are everything." So what are soft skills? Why are they important? Which ones are the most important? Plus, we're talking about Kaitlyn Bristowe's new podcast and answering our weekly "Dear HBIC." Real Talk: Why Soft Skills Are More Important Than Technical Skills What are soft skills? The top ten most popular soft skills companies say they look for when hiring include: 1) Candidate has a strong work ethic – 73 percent 2) Candidate is dependable – 73 percent 3) Candidate has a positive attitude – 72 percent 4) Candidate is self-motivated – 66 percent 5) Candidate is team-oriented – 60 percent 6) Candidate is organized, can manage multiple priorities – 57 percent 7) Candidate works well under pressure – 57 percent 8) Candidate is an effective communicator – 56 percent 9) Candidate is flexible – 51 percent 10) Candidate is confident – 46 percent http://www.careerbuilder.com/share/aboutus/pressreleasesdetail.aspx?sd=4/10/2014&id=pr817&ed=12/31/2014 Why are they important?Research conducted by Harvard University, the Carnegie Foundation and Stanford Research Center concluded that 85% of job success comes from having well‐developed soft and people skills, and only 15% of job success comes from technical skills and knowledge (hard skills). http://www.nationalsoftskills.org/the-soft-skills-disconnect/ Why do we think Soft Skills are #1?You can teach hard skills. It’s really difficult to teach soft skills. I’d much rather work with someone who has no experience and wants to learn as opposed to someone who’s good at their job but hard to work with. Hard Skills still matter -- that’s how you get your foot in the door. Almost 40% of HR pros only pass along the resumes of the candidates that have the technical skills to do the job. https://about.beyond.com/Content/Resources/files/Media/pdfs/HardskillsVsSoftskills.pdf Dear HBIC So, I am in a position in which I hire college students to work PT in an office setting as a marketing assistant. The number of candidates who want a customized schedule and already come to the interview with a laundry list of days off (that they NEED to have) is baffling to me. I know I probably sound like an old 'boomer' but within your first 60 days, you shouldn’t need 17 days off for vacation. Am I being unreasonable? Would You Rather… Never drink in front of your coworkers or always be the one who gets a little (way) too drunk Be filthy rich and live 200 years ago or be poor but live today? What We’re Loving This Week Elise: Kaitlyn Bristowe’s podcast, Off the Vine Meleah: Traditional Medicinals “Throat Coat” tea. It’s kind of gross, but it’s great when I’m feeling under the weather.

Today on EVEsdropping, we're talking email organization via Inbox Zero, how to turn your internship into a full-time job, plus we're introducing some new segments, called "Dear HBIC" and "Would You Rather" (you might've heard of the latter, idk).  Real Talk: Email Organization/Inbox Zero Create specific folders. Lots, and lots, and lots of folders. When an email comes in, do something with it. Is it something you need to keep for reference? Move to a folder. Is it a task you need to complete? Leave it in your inbox. Could you complete the task in less than like 3 min? Just do it. If it’s an email in a thread, delete the earlier emails and keep the later ones. The later messages still have all the info you need in them. Don’t get behind. It’s easier to get an inbox with 50 emails back down to zero than it is 300. Unsubscribe, unsubscribe, unsubscribe. Dear HBIC “I’m an intern and I really like the company I’m working for. I’m definitely open to working here after graduation, but they haven’t asked me to stay. Should I wait for them to bring it up, or let them know that I’d like to come on full-time? And what do I even say?” Step one: Make sure you're good at your job and your employer likes you. Step two: Ask for it as soon as you know your plans after graduation. Step three: Slay. Would You Rather... Never use emojis ever again or only be able to send the poop emoji? Sleep with your boss and get a promotion (but no one knows) or would you rather get a promotion and have everyone think you slept with your boss but you didn’t? What We’re Loving This Week Elise: Still my NECTAR mattress, holla.

Boss and/or Adulting Moment Elise: I'm becoming videographer for a day; our videographer couldn't make it to a video interview shoot this week so I'm filling in. He showed me how to use the camera and gave me a checklist, so I'm officially adding "videographer temp" to my resume. Meleah: I am making phone calls like a madwoman. I’m renovating/buying/who tf knows this house that was built in 1915 and it needs some work. I’m getting every service out there to get me a bid.  Tell us how many emails YOU have in your inbox by using the hashtag #JustEVEsdropping.
