Both Eli and Ila were greatly inspired by their grandmother’s passion for cooking and are determined to keep their heritage alive, with a modern twist.

Clean, Healthy Living with Clay and Connor: Part 2/2 - We expand upon our conversation from Episode 29 with our boyfriends, Clay and Connor. Part 1 was focused on sobriety and our own experiences with drinking and smoking. Part 2 dives into healthy lifestyles from a physical and emotional perspective. We felt that the two topics go hand-in-hand as having a clear mind has motivated us to “clean up” other areas of our life from our homes to relationships to routines and beyond. When you feel good, that positive energy permeates into every other aspect of your life. We talk about how we include activity daily in our lives (hellllo hot girl walks!), have learned to pay more attention to food labels, experiment with various fitness programs, and are trying new recipes in the kitchen. Every person’s journey with health and wellness is going to look different. We are hoping to give some general tips but ultimately we want to encourage you to find what works best for you and leads you to be by Already Friends

Are You Burned Out?!: In today’s age of hustle culture, the grind, and working to live - we know how easy it is to participate in this mindset. As two high-achieving entrepreneurs, we’ve certainly learned the hard way that overextending yourself will lead to burnout. You guys know that we love to challenge ourselves and have a lot on our plate but we are not here to romanticize grinding 24/7. It’s easy to think that putting in excessive hours is solely highly productive but it can eventually put your mental, emotional, and physical health at risk. Allison and Ceara dive deep into what burnout is, its signs, and its side effects. Feelings of exhaustion, being trapped, spreading yourself too thin, cynical attitudes, counting down the minutes left in your shift, and detaching from the present moment are all common signs that we have noticed as a result of being burned out. We offer a variety of solutions and ideas to help you navigate whatever area of your life that burnout could be by Already Friends

An Honest Conversation About Drinking: Everyone has a unique personal relationship with substances - whether they don’t like using them, are indifferent, dabble here and there, party, or abuse them. We live in a drinking-obsessed culture. Everywhere you turn, it seems alcohol is celebrated at the forefront from brunch, to happy hour, to sporting events, weddings, birthdays, holidays, and just because it’s the weekend. We wanted to shed some light on the flip side of this by bringing on our boyfriends, Clay Fisher and Connor Wiemann, to have a really candid and open conversation. We talk about all of our own experiences with alcohol and weed, how it plays a role in our health, and our current thoughts about sobriety and the sober curious movement. If you have felt called to evaluate your drinking/smoking habits or just want to hear an honest perspective - then this is a great episode for you.
