Everyone knows that if you dare to have a presence on the internet, you have to stay the same forever. Duh. Changing your mind and evolving as a person is a luxury allowed only for others and not for you! And while we’re certainly being facetious right now, there are many people who fully believe that, even if just subconsciously. As entrepreneurs with personal brands, we’ve faced pushback over the years when we start acting differently to the way we’ve “always” been. But look, Besties, we want this to be a long and meaningful friendship with you, so we hope you can accept us as we evolve over time.

Even for people who know everything there is to know about having a healthy mindset need to check themselves at some point. Sometimes, it’s exactly the people that “know better” that need help acting right, not just thinking right. Mindset starts with awareness, but awareness alone isn’t enough. Accountability, emotional regulation, and self-compassion are all just as important when you need to Mindset yourself.

This podcast grew out of some really shitty times in our lives, and since then we’ve learned a lot about how to deal with all that shittiness, especially when that shittiness is inescapable. No one wants to suffer, but the hard times happen and we feel better prepared to deal with them now. In the last episode, Danny J shared a bit about how she’s in a tough place right now, so today she wanted to share a little about how she’s sitting in the discomfort and making it through as best she can. It’s never a fun time to be caught in the messy middle, but we trust ourselves enough to know that we can always make it through to the other side.

We’ve fucked up and started over and changed our minds so many times in this life that we lost count. In our younger years, we made a lot of decisions that we thought other people wanted us to make and when we wanted to do something different, we waited for someone to tell us it was okay before we acted. But here’s a tip, Bestie: it’s not your job to convince someone to “get” you. There will always be people who don’t understand why we make the choices we do, but instead of waiting for someone else to get it, just be you and eventually you’ll get the affirmation you’re looking for. Life is too damn short to be living it for someone else.

There’s so much comparison at the beginning [3:24]

Letting your parents down [7:52]

Feeling alone and judged in your decisions [11:16]

Detaching from the outcome and keep taking action [13:38]

People respect action [16:27]

You might have to be the one to go first [21:43]

Somehow, it’s a new year again and this time we’re feeling neither well-rested, nor excited to do it all again. It’s almost like the years start coming and they don’t stop coming. Wish someone could have warned us about all that. But even though we’re exhausted, we’ve got plans for 2025 that include both leaning in to and leaning away from social media and… getting married! With the bad things in life, good can always coexist. So even if we’re feeling shitty or sorry for ourselves a little, we can always celebrate love when we find it.

As much as we all love being petty (and you know we’re good at it, too) there is something to be said about being the “bigger person.” While the un-evolved versions of ourselves might like pointing out when Brenda is acting like an idiot, that kind of negativity never brought out the best in anyone. Whether you realize it or not, people are looking to you to see how you act. Are you proud of the way you handle conflict? Do you respond to situations rather than react? Maybe it’s less “fun” tone the bigger person, but the way we show up in conflict matters.

(This episode is a replay from March 2023.)

Are you obligated to be the “bigger person”? [2:56]
