Sincerely Unique

Our favorite topic -- self love! We touch a bit about learning to love yourself + why it's important especially when you begin to compare yourself to others. 

Having a strong foundation can help when the comparison comes creeping in. We discuss times where we have felt the feeling of comparing ourselves to others, the reason we feel this way and what we do to get back to positive thinking. 

Episodes Mentioned In Today's Episode:

Here it is!! Part 2 of our being real + raw with you about #marriages.

We are doing a two part-er about the real and raw tea about marriages.

Since our de-brief was well, DEEP, and clearly about the topic we planned to talk about this week. We decided to give ya'll a break and split the episode. 

If you're into astrology, you know that the new moon in Aries. It has clearly been an emotional week for us as we explain our feelings. We discuss being emotional, needy, stress and so much more in this week's de-breif. Stay tuned for next week we talk more about the good, the bad, and the ugly about marriages. 

We want to check in with you guys.. how are you!?

Thank you for listening -- we appreciate you!

We SPILL the tea in this week's episode -- embarrassing drunk stories!! 

We have alllllll been there. Drinking way too much to the point where we do something out of character. And if you haven't you're totally lion to yourself. LOL. 

Monique explains how she was STUNNED by her ex while she was at a bar and decided to do some roleplaying. Bianca shares a couple of her funny stories that lead her to a not so fun next morning. 

We are curious, what are some of your drunk stories!? DM us on Instagram, we would love yo hear/share (if you want). 

Thank you for listening -- we appreciate you!

Have you ever lost your creative spark?

We certainly know the feeling -- as we are on social media, have a podcast, Bianca has a photography business, Monique has her business… there can be a point where we have felt drained. You feel like you have lost that creative spark. It’s totally normal to feel this way.

What To Do When You Lose Your Creative Spark:

1. Find a routine that makes you feel good
2. Relax and take some time to reflect
3. Journal why you feel you have lost the spark
4. Find ways to re-learn your love for the thing that makes you feel creative
5. Slowly get back into that thing you love doing
6. Don’t take it so seriously

Thank you for listening -- we appreciate you!

This week's midweek tea -- why we should stop slut shamming + the importance of your hoe phase.

We have all slut shammed someone before whether it's how they dress, who they have had sex with, how many people they have had sex with, nudes that may have been leaked, judging a female who carries condoms, etc. We are not perfect and that's OK. What we should do is stopping the hate and to just spread more love. Everyone is going through different phases in their lives. Let's stop judging others on the choices that they decide to make even when they don't align with us. 

As we mentioned, you don't NEED a hoe phase. Some may have never gone through it to find the one. We are sharing our experiences of why it's important to go through it. 

Thank you for listening -- we appreciate you!

Today we have a guest on our podcast -- Tamara! 

She shares with us her experience with mental health. Our mental health is important + we must make sure that our cup is full before trying to fill someone else's. Tamara shares with us her struggles, what she does to cope with mental health, the things that she has overcame. 

An important conversation to be had is when you know someone who is struggling mentally let them know that you are there for them. Don't pry to figure out what's wrong or how you can help them. When the person is ready to talk to you about what they're going through they will. We all struggle with negative thoughts, some more so than others and sometimes it can be difficult for that person to talk about their thoughts. Just reassure that you are there. 

If you or someone you know is struggling and needs help here's the National Suicide Prevention Hotline: 800-273-8255. 

As promised we would have a fun episode! If you have been around with us since the beginning you know that we love our Wine Wednesday's! 

This episode we go into 6 different ways to spice up your life and we go into 8 different ways to spice up things in the bedroom. 

Thank you for listening -- we appreciate you!

We have all felt in one way or another "different". Maybe you had to get glasses, braces, body image, classes you had to take in school, etc. Every single one of us has felt like the outcast. Today we talk about how having parents who were not born in the USA has given us some struggles.  

By sharing the struggles that we have gone through is to let you know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. We always want to share with you the hard times because during the time, we only had ourselves. We went through them alone and it's not fun.  

Apologizes for the second episode being SO deep -- we promise we will have a fun one next week!  

Thank you for listening -- we appreciate you!  

We all have #dreams and hopes for the future! What dreams do you have for 2022?

Since we are coming into 2022 with so much inspiration and motivation how perfect is an episode about dreams! 

In this episode we chat about where/what we are doing in our personal life, a little trip down memory lane when we first started the podcast in 2019, sprinkled with positivity, silliness + our growth!

What goals do you have for 2022? Are you ready to conquer your goals? 

MONIQUE HAD HER BABY LAST WEEK!! BE SURE TO CONGRATULATE HER. 

We are rescheduling our episode with our guest speaker --- so today's episode is a solo one. Today's episode is continuing the topic of #womenempowerment; we're talking about how female rights matter. 

Today's episode we talk about #womenempowerment with the month of March being Women's History month we are focusing our episodes on badass women!! 

We go over what our superhero power is, what women empowerment means to us, and talk about what society thinks of women. Why we disagree with what others think.

We want to ask you the question -- what is your superhero power?! 

Stay tuned for next week we have a badass chicka joining us!!

Chakras actually means wheel. The idea is that you have energy wheels throughout the body, the main ones are the 7 (root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, crown). Today we’re going to talk about the heart chakra. When we breathe life into these wheels and they cause the flow of energy to go through and in and out of these wheels. Balancing every single aspect not only our body, but our mind and soul as well.

Stress can cause these chakras to be out of balance. The more that you intimately know your body, the more that you get to intimately get to know your chakras + pinpoint those specific imbalances.

What do you know about the heart chakra? Chakra's are a new thing for us + we love learning about it. 

We hope you enjoy the episode we enjoyed making it for you!

We asked you last week if you had any relationship questions you wanted us to answer. We got quite a few responses -- THANK YOU! 

DISCLAIMER: WE ARE NOT LOVE DOCTORS, PSYCHIATRISTS, COUNSELORS, ETC. PLEASE TAKE WHAT YOU HEAR FROM US AS YOUR BESTIE GIVING YOU ADVICE. 

We are in no way shape or form saying you need to do what we say, we are merely sharing experiences that we've been through to guide you through the hard times, letting you know that we've been there and understand what you're feeling. 

This episode is definitely *cringe* worthy. A lot of our past was brought up with these questions; we got quite the laugh. 

We hope you enjoy the episode we enjoyed making it for you! 

FEBRUARY IS THE MONTH ABOUT LOVE

Before we get to the mushy-gushy stuff -- let's start with SELF LOVE BABY.  

Today's episode is all about how you can't make people listen if they don't want to understand. We talk about the psychology of it -- how as humans we have 3 basic needs; survival, to be taken care of/care for others, + aspirations. 

When our ego senses danger we quickly revert to whatever feelings are safe. We give you three examples of when people just don't want listen. 

1. Someone who's addicted to drugs/alcohol 
2. With our businesses when we ask/or give information about them 
3. Bad + toxic relationships

We answer the question how do you deal with a situation like this.

Do you have any examples of a time that you just felt someone wasn't listening to you?

Are you fed up with social media these days? 

Does social media make you happy?

Does social media make you sad? 

How do you feel about social media? 

Here we are 3 weeks into 2021 + it's about to get JUICY. 

We dive deeeeeeep into our embarrassing sex stories, but before we do that we talk with you guys about normalizing sex, normalizing body types, normalizing woman's clothing choices and so much more. 

You don't want to miss it!! 

This week we're talking about the 'C' word. We want to shed some light on this situation by sharing our experiences through this whole thing. Keep in mind we are just sharing our emotions, feelings + our take on this.

*** Please don't take anything that we are saying out of context. We know this can be a very controversial topic. We've held back on making certain episode topics in the past but we have decided we are not going to hold back anymore.  Our thoughts + opinions aren't always going to be accepted by everyone and that's okay. We believe that everyone can have their own thoughts, opinions + feelings towards a situation and not everyone is going to agree with it. That's what makes us unique.

We talk about how we thought this was not real, how we didn't take it seriously, and what made us believe that this is a real thing. We were not educated on what was going on when this first started + to be honest, we don't know if we truly know what's really going on.  Regardless, we're being real + authentic here. 

The questions asked in the video:

• How are we feeling? 
• What are our thoughts? 
• Did we get COVID? How did we feel? What were our symptoms? 
• Do we have any fears? 
• How's our mental health? 
• What do we think of the vaccine that's here? 
• We also go over the questions we asked our followers. 

As mentioned in our episode -- if you feel like you need someone to talk whether about this topic or about anything else, WE are here for you. We don't want you to feel alone in anyway. This is a hard time for EVERYONE. 

THANK YOU to those who are currently helping out the world; whether healthcare, first responders or retail workers. We appreciate you SO MUCH. 

On today's episode of Sincerely Unique podcast is a #WineWednesday! We haven't posted a video since FEBRUARY! A lot has been going on in the world let alone our own personal lives - which is why we want to share some positivity with YOU.

We miss you.

We miss us.

We want to share with you.

We also want to know, how are you doing?!

How can we help you!

We plan to be more active on our personal Instagrams 

Today's episode is about self care; our thoughts on it, what tips we have and some apps that will help you maintain a self care routine! 

Be sure to comment any of your self care tips we'd love to hear them!! 

WE'RE BACK WITH SEASON 2!!!!

Today's episode is all about what we learned in 2019 because let's be honest 2019 was one hell of a ride. We talk about our GROWTH and PATIENCE. We even dig into 2020 and talk about our goals that we have lined up.

So, have a seat and enjoy our first episode of 2020!!!

We want to first start off with how thankful we are for our listeners & those who interact with us on social media. 

Our goal is to be there for someone going through a tough time because we understand first hand how hard life can be without someone to be in your corner. 

SO THANK YOU!  

The second thing is Happy Thanksgiving - with Thanksgiving being TOMORROW we thought we'd come at ya with an episode all about giving thanks. We share our appreciation we have for special people in our lives. 

We talk about the people who lift us up in this podcast episode and we'd LOVE to hear who or what you're thankful for!

We haven't done a #yoga episode in a while so we thought we'd come at you with an episode about chakras. We briefly go over the different seven chakra's and explain more in detail about the root chakra. 

When the chakras are balanced and spinning effortlessly life is beautiful. What better than to start with the root chakra, this is the first wheel of energy and it begins at the base of the spine. 

We hope that you enjoy this episode and appreciate all you listeners! 

If  you love hearing solo episodes let us know! We plan to do more if life  gets too busy but we want your opinions on them as well!

As we know life can get crazy and sometimes make you go crazy. Something  that we struggle with is staying positive in such a negative world. Bianca gives you 8 tips to shifting your mindset. Once you're in a negative mindset there's no going back to positive until you realize that you're being negative.

We appreciate those who listen & those who share our podcast to others!

How many of you have been in toxic relationships and not realized it? 

We explain our toxic relationships in detail and how we thought it was all just "normal". Being lied to, cheated on, physically abused, mentally abused, manipulated into staying in the relationship, all of this is domestic violence. It's NOT normal. If you're ever going through something please reach out to someone. The domestic violence hotline is 1-800-799-7233.

We are not telling you our awful relationship stories to make you feel bad for us - we want those who are going through something similar to be aware of the red flags and to get out of that toxic relationship. 

Today's episode is all about how we go through different seasons and we're not just talking about the actual seasons changing. 

Take this shift in energy to reflect on yourself so that you can become a better version of yourself!

Remember, we're just like YOU. We are here to explain our stories to help you get through it as well.

We talk about the past friendships, the new friendships, what we learned from failed friendships, what type of friend we used to be, why it's so hard to make friends as an adult. And we show what Monique and Bianca's friendship is like.... DORKY.

If you want a good laugh you'll definitely want to listen to this weeks episode.

We all hate them!! We know that you're probably wondering "Ew, Bianca & Monique. We already know about it - why would you make this as an episode."

But you're not going to learn more about it if we just assume we know everything about it. We're merely sharing our experiences, tips, and how to get men to understand that this isn't just a time for us to be emotional. Am I right ladies?! Men think that we're overly emotional and cry about everything, don't know what we want to eat etc.... and to be honest, do they actually know what's going on with our hormones during the month.

It's #WineWednesday where we answer your questions while drinking wine! This week's questions were a little juicy! Be sure to stick to the end to find out some personal details about us. ;-)

Sit back, pour a glass of wine - it's about to get personal! 

Do you find yourself aimlessly scrolling on social media putting your tasks aside?, comparing your life to others "perfect" Instagram life?, having the bad case of FOMO?, or scrolling only to just x out of the application to opening that exact one again?

If you answered yes to these - you should listen to our experiences with a social media detox! Believe us, we've been through those same exact feelings and we want to share with you why it's important to take a break from social media!

Some people might not think that meditating is for them, or maybe even that they can't shut your mind off to meditate. We're here to show you that you can do it! 

It's definitely a habitual behavior that you need to practice at the get better.

In today's podcast we take you through a super quick guided meditation. We explain the different types of meditation; hey maybe one of these you might enjoy, you never know until you try! We explain why we meditate:

• For Bianca - it's to keep me grounded, starts the day off on a positive note, and I am able to set a good intention for the day.
• For Monique - to reduce stress, increases focus, helps let go of unwanted behaviors, helps find peace & seek knowledge.

For those who don't believe in the woo-woo ness of meditation - don't you worry. We go into the science background of how the brain works when learning a new behavior such as meditating.

We touch briefly on religion and what we think of that and lastly we answer a couple questions that people have asked us about meditation. 

What's something that you procrastinate on? Go on, you can tell us!

We all procrastinate but what's the REAL reason you're procrastinating on a task.... Waiting last minute will  make you work harder? You have a bad case of FOMO? You just don't want  to do it?
