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

How To Give Intentional Gifts (Holiday Gift Guide): Rather than a basic gift guide list of trendy items to buy, we want to help you think about giving gifts in a different way this year so that it doesn’t seem like you’re just swapping $20 bills with everyone you know. We divided this episode into a few segments. To start off, we do include some physical gifts that we recommend and why we think they’d make a great gift. Then we talk about giving experience-oriented gifts and what that can look like. Another idea is to give gifts that help someone reach their goals which is super thoughtful. One of the best talking points during this episode is the segment on love languages and how you could tie gifts into someone’s receiving love language. We wrap up with some advice on how to ask for what you actually want yourself!

A Life Partner - Loyalty, Independence & Growing Together: Allison’s boyfriend Clay joins her this week so listeners can learn more about who they are as a couple. The two met in high school, even though they lived just a few streets apart and went to the same elementary school. After not seeing each other for over five years, they rekindled one day and have been inseparable ever since. A lot has happened in the few years they’ve been dating - months of long-distance, backpacking in South America, living out of the car and suitcases while road tripping across the US, graduating, moving in together, career changes, and building their young adult life. Allison lives a pretty public life with social media, New Wave, and the podcast. Clay, on the other hand, is more private so this is a rare chance to get to know him and the behind-the-scenes of their relationship. The two bring different backgrounds, interests, and passions to the table that really help inspire the other on a daily basi by Already Friends

Moving From Paris to NYC to Launch a French Bakery: The owners of Crème Caramelle captured our hearts with their French charm and left our mouths watering for homemade pastries. We met them virtually via a chatroom on Clubhouse and were so drawn to their story that we had to have them on the podcast! Elisa and Ilana met five years ago at a friend's dinner in NYC. They bonded over their love of culinary arts and began spending Sunday mornings in the kitchen. After they both received their degrees, they decided to take the leap and launch Crème Caramelle - an online French bakery located in SoHo with the goal to spread a little taste of Paris to the streets of New York. 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.

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.

Our Goal Setting Process for 2022 + Sharing Our Goals: We all know that January is a great time to reflect and reset after the holidays. While there can be a lot of pressure around feeling the need to “rebrand” yourself and set the stakes high, we want to encourage you to find what works for you. We share our goal-setting process and what has helped us turn our wishes into tangible plans. Through our journey as young adults, we’ve both aimed too high and aimed too low. Ideally, you want to reach enough out of your comfort zone to soar, but not so high that you can’t sustain the process and end up calling it quits. If you’re interested in sharing your goals with a community that can help hold you accountable, join our Patreon group. Later this month, we will be hosting a remote Goal Setting Workshop with all the members and we’ll host a follow-up event in six months to check in with everyone’s journey. by Already Friends

Money, Budgets, and Financial Freedom w/ Brady Kirkpatrick: In this episode, we are joined by Ceara’s older brother, Brady Kirkpatrick. Brady is a Certified Financial Planner and shares all kinds of valuable money advice with us in a fun, casual way. We know learning more about finances can be really overwhelming so we wanted to have someone on the podcast who is very personal, young, and makes the information digestible. There can be a lot of negative thoughts around money but once you let go of that fear, you will find that financial freedom is much more attainable. A quote that really resonates with us is, “live poor now so that you can live rich later.” So much of today’s culture encourages impulse shopping, overspending, and not planning for the future. Budgeting, sacrifices, and resisting temptation aren’t really shown on Instagram but we’re here to break down that wall. Brady’s last takeaways are - it’s never too late to get started, create a plan that works with your value by Already Friends

This week, Allison and Ceara wanted to talk about how to find balance in the midst of what feels like chaos, how to prioritize everything being thrown your way, what saying no can look like and how implementing healthier routines can make your life so much easier.
