This week, Zac and Vena are taking a deep dive into something we all experience—being way more than just one version of ourselves. We tend to get stuck in a single identity—"work Vena," "sports Zac," or even "networking Vena"—but guess what? We're multidimensional beings, and all those versions of us play an important part in who we are.In this episode, we talk about how easy it is to get caught up in one role and forget the others. Whether it's "Nap Vena" showing up when you're at your breaking point or "Work Zac" taking over in a meeting, recognizing when those different versions of yourself show up can change how you handle conflict, communication, and relationships.We challenge you to grab a pen and jot down all the different versions of YOU! Take a moment to notice which version shows up in different scenarios and relationships. Bonus points if you start noticing what versions of your coworkers or loved ones are showing up, too.Tune in for an easy, fun way to embrace every side of you and show up as your best self—no matter what version of you is at play.

Friday April 11 was the Global Climate Strike called by Fridays For Future, the group started by Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg. More than 50 people, mainly students, demonstrated at the State Capitol in Albany. We hear music by Terri Roben; Ryan, the local FFF organizer; Mark Dunlea of PAUSE/350 Albany and GELF (Green Education and Legal Fund); Kelsey from UAlbany; Vena; Matt Oill from XR and Socialist Alternative; and Hannah and RPI Sunrise. With President Trump having declared war on the transition to clean, renewable energy, it is critical that state lawmakers and Governor Hochul reverse course and include major climate measures in the state budget, starting with NY Heat, GAP, and the Renewable Capitol Act. Many spoke about the need to oppose capitalism and colonialism.

Welcome back to Our Uncommon Life, where we explore the dynamic journey of marriage, health, entrepreneurship, and communication.Sometimes in marriage, you have to let your partner do their thing and not interject, even when you might think, “Is this really a good idea?” Between Zac's crazy business ideas and Vena's unconventional weight loss methods, we've learned that letting each other figure things out without nagging is a win-win situation. (Of course, if something could cause harm, financial hardship, or other serious issues, please interject—no one wants to end up on a reality TV show for all the wrong reasons!) We believe that asking questions about each other's motivations, doing our own research, and trusting one another is a better way to support each other than immediately shooting down an idea.

Something that is super important in our marriage is living "independently together". Having our own hobbies, our own trips, our own adventures without each other so that we aren't relying on each other for happiness. You can't expect your spouse to be your EVERYTHING. In this week's episode, we talk about our separate trips to Traverse City and to Telluride. From Vena's girls trip filled with games, foodie things, and a snowstorm to Zac's ski trip to Telluride full of adventure, adrenaline, and connection with old friends. Find out what dish made Vena and her friends almost cry and how Zac loved the no pressure group of friends he was with.You can find us on our socials at @our_uncommon_life Traverse City restaurants that we chatted about in this epidsode :https://www.cookshousetc.com/https://mamalustc.com/https://www.goodbowleatery.com/https://www.redspirebrunchhouse.com/https://mawby.wine/And as always please like and subscribe!

A fun hodgepodge episode about our dueling trips to New York City and Florida...and even a fun conversation about our favorite/most nostalgic Holiday foods. Find out how Vena felt navigating Manhattan on her own, and about Zac's trip down memory lane when he grabbed some bagels in Boca Raton.

It's that time of year where we both need a little extra push to clean up our eating habits. Zac is embarking on a Paleo Plus journey and Vena is starting a Whole 30. This is just a quick fun chat explaining why every once in a while, you just need to put the brakes on and analyze why you are eating the way you are and how we get back on track. * Disclaimer - we are not medical professionals and anything we say is based on opinion. Please speak to a medical professional before starting any new diets.

It's that time of year.... the craziness of the Holidays is upon us. And in true Zac and Vena fashion, we are BUSY. Since we are going to be completely apart from each other all week, we thought it would be fun to repost an old LIVE meeting from last year. During this crazy time of year, we find it so important to make sure we get our meetings in to keep us sane during the insane Holiday schedules. As a recap our meetings consist of: Agenda, To-Do List, Personal Goals, Date Night, Social Media/Podcast, and Likes/Dislikes/Puzzlements that we have during the week. We hope you enjoy the recap, and if you would like another in depth overview of our meetings, leave a comment in a review!
