Is it just us, or is everything on social media just engagement farming now? People are posting videos of them crying or doing “good deeds” because it get views, and it feels really phony and a little bit cringe. We’re all for vulnerability online, but there’s a difference in sharing vulnerably and pretending to be sad so that you get likes on Instagram. Don’t even get us started on the stealth-filming of real people living their lives… Is there a right way to share personal things online or are we all doomed to pretend this shit is real forever?

Grief seems to have been a recurring theme in our lives, but we know now that it’s not just us—everyone is grieving. Grief isn’t always caused by big tragedies and devastating events. It can happen in the every day moments of rejection and misunderstanding, it can happen in the moments we feel overlooked and invisible. The world is silently grieving the versions of ourselves we’ve lost to the everyday pains in life. Today we brought back one of our favorite guests, Christina Rasmussen, an expert on grief, to talk about invisible loss and how we can work through our grief and get back to that essential, thriving self who is excited to wake up and change the world every day.

One thing we’ll never have enough of in this life is time, especially with our loved ones. As we get older and closer to the ages our parents were as they raised us, it feels important to get to know them not only as parents, but as peers. After all, Mom and Dad are people, too. Today, Jill is sharing some ideas you can use to start having more meaningful conversations and deeper relationships with your parents.

You know we’re into personal development here, but just because we are doesn’t mean that the men in our lives are, too. Everyone knows you can’t force someone to change, and making them become more self-aware or spiritually conscious is no exception—and maybe that’s a good thing. Our differences are something to be celebrated, not changed! So while it might be nice to have a man who’s just as interested in bettering himself as you are, make sure you’re appreciating you’re man for who he is.

We’ve seen some shit and like it or not, we’re left a little jaded after all the pain, mistrust, and heartbreak. Once upon a time, we were innocent and optimistic about life, but now we just feel like bitter old hags. Anyone else? Okay, we might be a little overdramatic, but it feels like that sometimes! When your old self “dies,” it doesn’t feel possible to get that hopeful feeling back. Even if we can’t un-know the things we know now, we can at least let our pain fuel us into being better people.

Making money is an important part of life—you need it to live! But it’s far more important to build a money system that takes care of you, so that if at any time your ability to earn money goes away, you’re still set up to live a happy life. Today, we have Mel Abraham on the show to open a dialogue about money because, as Mel says, financial freedom is your birth right, and he’s on a mission to help you get there. Plenty of us dream about being wealthy, but there’s a difference in having wealth and having a rich life. With your money machine running, you’ll be able to have both.

There’s this phrase we’ve been seeing online lately, maybe you’ve heard of it. Women and girls keep talking about things men do that give them “the ick” and we’re a little lost. Some people are saying things as basic as putting cream in their coffee gives them the ick, and others are saying that even a man wearing a hat is ick-worthy. Is there anything a man can do that *doesn’t* give the ick? Or are we fundamentally misunderstanding the concept of what is and isn’t giving ick. There is one thing we can all agree on though: the people getting the ick over stupid hats are right. No one needs to see that.

Are we too liberal with the “ick”? [2:23]
