Everything’s (not) Fine

The gift of truly being seen

Nicole and Keli chat about relationships and friendships with longevity. Knowing one another for 25 years (literally our whole adult lives) has had its rewards (and a drawback or two) ;)
We talk about the best gift we can give a friend in a time of need and the beauty of being seen.

F*in Purity - the backfire of the cultish beliefs around sexuality

Keli started therapy - ACTUAL THERAPY! After 20 years of finding every sort of free therapy in the book, I actually started real therapy. We talk about that and the initial subjects that came up during the session...none other than sexual trauma and misguidance experienced during the days of purity culture. Join us for a real whirlwind of a show. It's a good one if I do say so myself. :)

F*in FUN. What even does that word mean?

Watch This Episode Recording on YouTube Here.

This episode Keli and Nicole discuss the challenges of having fun. In a recent episode of Glennon Doyle's podcast "We can do Hard Things" the show discussed having a stunted fun "gene" and it hit home! We don't even know what fun is, much less how to have it. Join us as we talk about what we've learned, how we feel challenged to shake the dust off of our party pants and what we'll be doing to try to rediscover our fun selves. Yikes.

Also, listen to the original We Can Do Hard Things episode from Glennon Doyle wherever you listen to podcasts. It's episode 4, entitled "FUN: What the hell is it and why do we need it?" (Exactly. All that.)

Everything's F*in Fine

I'll be honest, we recorded this episode over a week ago and I can't even remember what it's about.

Nicole Allen and I talk about graduations, kids flying the coop and...I'm not sure what else. Let's all listen together for the first time. LOL. - Kel

F*in Finally - Return to "normal" and the challenges that come with it

Host Keli Budnich andGuest Co-Host Nicole Allen discuss a new wave of life changes as "Pandemic Life" and some of the restrictions ease up and life gets to a new normal. There's a lot of change in the air and change ain't always easy, am I right? Marriages, schooling, jobs, you name it... we're all in the midst of getting to a new normal, and for some of us that looks drastically different. We especially talk about divorce and relationships in this one.

You can VIEW the recording of this episode on YouTube (woohoo!!) by following this link. 

**Audio on this video is less than awesome. Turns out, my "puppy" (who is too old to call a puppy anymore and also too old to be chewing my stuff!) chewed on one of my AirPods and the microphone was crap without my knowledge. Cool cool. - kel

Oh man, F*ing Friendship

Welp, this episode is a doozy. Keli chats with Nicole Allen about some of the dynamics of building, maintaining and growing friendships, especially among women. Keli finds herself struggling during the conversation and can't really put her finger on what is holding her back mentally and emotionally. As the conversation starts to wind down, the ladies get vulnerable about some of the dynamics about their own friendship in the past.
