Time to Rest... {133}

Time to Rest... {133}

The start of February brings our fourth season to a close! How is that even possible??? One hundred and thirty-three conversations with well over 150 amazing women. Humbled! I am so grateful this is my life! For the next several months we will each be pursuing our own projects, plans, trips, and adventures while also resting and connecting with others in our individual ways.

Perhaps the biggest miracle of all is that the five of us were able to come together and record this conversation for you! We absolutely love the times when we can come together, and hopefully, you'll love this often silly conversation too! We chat about what this season has been like for us, what we've learned, and where we each (as individuals) are headed in this next chapter. 

We want to thank you for being the best listeners and community! Now, it's time to rest...

Introverts Party Hard...{125}

Introverts Party Hard...{125}

In this week's team chat Chantal, Misty, and Nikki are tackling such topics as bad habits, vulnerability, store returns, bad soup recipes, and the unhealthy of excess (especially during the holidays.) Chantal also talks about her hiatus from social media and the effect this has been having on her life. It may sound like we're all over the place, but really it all comes together. We even touch on introverts, too much peopling, and the kind of parties we thrive at. 

Grab your favorite cup of comfort and come hang out with the team–it's girlfriend hour!

Doris Day, Meth, and Team Straw... {124}

Doris Day, Meth, and Team Straw... {124}

In this week's Collective team chat Maggie, Misty, and Veronica dissect a chart-topping Doris Day track from 1952 entitled "A Guy is a Guy". How do the lyrics of this track reflect in today's society? How did it reflect in the lives of 50's women? Furthermore, in what small ways do women still not have equality? It is this sort of deep conversation which takes the women down the path of asking themselves the important, probing question:

Team Straw, or Team no Straw?

Grab a cup of your favorite seasonal tea and settle in for a little girl time filled with laughter, some feminist ranting, and a whole lot of girl time...

The Truth after WLS...{123}

A favorite of our team, Leisa Greene is back! This time she's hanging out with Misty as they chat about each of their honest experiences with Weight Loss Surgery. This is a candid and frank discussion. Even if you've never had a procedure, you likely know someone who has or someone who is wanting to. These are the types of conversations that help us grow our empathy, and we can't wait to share it with you. 

Spoiler Alert: You are beautiful just as you are! YOU ARE ENOUGH!

This is it... {120}

This is it... {120}

Maggie, Misty, and Veronica are here this week, hanging out in this safe space to admit we're tired. Are you tired? the mid-trauma, emotional fatigue happening to the majority of us is REAL, and our habits are often questioning, shaming, or not trusting these feelings. Sometimes it takes a frank chat with others to realize there's nothing wrong with you and you are doing ok. 

This is that talk...

Pumpkin Spiced Murder... {116}

Pumpkin Spiced Murder... {116}

Sometimes when we hang out, crazy stuff may come out of someone's mouth. It's fine. We're fine. I'm fine...

This week Chantal, Misty, and Nikki are hanging out. It's like the fun friend hour when everyone is chillin' and we just talk about whatever comes to mind. In the intense and overwhelming negativity out there right now, these times are nice. This week, it was Nikki who kicked off the conversation chatting about her "Unpopular opinion", which it turned out wasn't that unpopular. This took us into discussions of wardrobe malfunctions and then, as smoothly as a conversation could flow, Chantal asked a deep question which took Misty down the trail of MURDER.

Not murdering someone, just talking about murder.

Fun times... (to be clear, no one murdered anyone or has plans to murder anyone. We do not advocate for the unaliving of anyone.)

But also, we would love for you to weigh in on where you fall all things Pumpkin Spice and murder...

(Disclaimer, this is NOT a true-crime podcast, though it is titled like a Cozy Autumn Mystery)

Shower Thoughts... {114}

Maggie and Misty are hanging out with Katie Allen (of the Just Realized Podcast) today for that classic girlfriend coffee date that we're all missing, yet we get to sip our beverages from the comfort of our own yoga pants... 

This week we hit on some needed wisdom, like how we often settle and don't believe the big things for us... we also talk a bit about healthy boundaries for ourselves, our time, what having kids home for an entire pandemic feels like, along with the emotions of school resuming. We also do a small dive into not only the enneagram and what it has meant for us, but what that looks like with our partners. 

We cover several bases this week, in that perfectly normal conversational way, complete with laughter and the magic that comes from simply connecting with other women!

Use Your Words... {112}

Chantal, Misty, and Veronica are here this week chatting about mental health, rest, deconstruction of personal belief systems and so much more. This evolved like the sort of cathartic conversation we're all needing right now!

It's team wee! This week Maggie, Misty, and Nikki are in the house chatting things like the realities (and attainability) of starting a business, in addition to travel, dreams, weird hobbies/obsessions, and our big retirement plans... 

Grab a glass of sweet tea or lemonade and hang out with us! After the show, let us know what your thoughts are on the randomness of this week's team hang!

Happy Wednesday! For this week's team chat, we are joined by author, podcast host, and long-time friend of the Rainy Day Collective–Leisa Greene!  We chat about entertainment, television, summer movies (think In the Heights and Dirty Dancing). Things get a bit serious as we delve into the topic of friendships. This week was a FUN, well-rounded conversation with heart and a lot of laughter.
