Episode 53- Riane Puno is the host of Alma Matters, a unique podcast that explores the school experiences and career trajectories – the good, the bad and the ugly – of some of the greatest entrepreneurial and creative minds. She's also a girl in her early twenties, who was plucked out of the Philippines and planted in New York, trying to navigate adulthood, mental health, her identity, career, love and life. Riane graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and, after hating her first job and listening to podcasts to make the day go by, she realized that there was nothing that really captured the highs and lows of the whole path to success, from the days at school to being at the helm of a company or being the star of a TV show or being a change-maker in (insert industry here). Being unhappy at work, being lost when it comes to your future ambitions, joining a company out of pressure and not passion – these are all cyclical trends that people don't talk enough about. Through Alma Matters, she wants to try and break the cycle by asking accomplished people all the questions that students, young professionals and whoever else struggling in a job wants answered too. What classes shaped their future paths? What were the biggest lessons that still resonate today? What pivotal experiences have defined their careers? Most importantly, what advice do they have for people wanting to follow their passions in the same way? She sets out to educate and inspire, and hopefully she's done her job.

The elusive work-life balance everyone tries to find.......It does not exist. Bev & Heather discuss why you need to stop chasing it and instead, recognize that we have work-life rhythms. Sometimes, we have peaks of craziness and other times we've got it nailed, but you can’t schedule that ebb and flow; rather, you need to recognize different seasons in your life. By trying to BALANCE our lives, we are setting ourselves up for failure. We are looking at social media and comparing ourselves to a perceived balance. Stop. Be you. Be present and be authentic and your life will unfold in a beautiful harmony. Find Bev & Heather at: Instagram: BitchesBeBrave, Facebook: Bitches Be Brave and www.bitchesbebrave.com.

This episode is MUST to listen to if you have kids or teens. Katey discusses how this generation is the least courageous and resilient of all times, and we need to look at how we parent our kids to change this. Parents need to model good digital behavior for our kids and set blocks of time that are digital free. Before our kids get a device, we need to identify: What is the function desired?, What is the value of the device? and What is the desired outcome? We need to create boundaries and restrictions with our kids and show them that we support them, so they will come to us when there is an issue. Learn why not all screen time is bad. Kids want us to listen, strategize and give them tactical solutions. We need to learn to acknowledge their needs and offer support and understanding. Criteria, markers for digital success: Grades, Behavior, Social/Emotional wellness Katey tells us that If we do 1 thing: Randomly check our kids phone, Have a central charging station - NO Phones in the bedroom (parents too!).  To improve communication: The No Trouble Bubble, Tech Night Tuesday and Crash & Tell For more information on how to stay on top of apps and social media, check out Katey's recommendations: Websites: Smartsocial.com, Commonsensemedia.com Documentaries: #Being 13, Screenagers Books: Glowkids, Untangled, Saving our Sons, The Self Driven Child, IGEN Routers: EERO.com Apps: BARK Find Bev & Heather at: Instagram: Bitchesbebrave Facebook: Being Brave Email: Bitchesbebrave@bitchesbebrave.com Twitter: Bitchesbebrave
