BTS of Launching Fait Par Foutch w/ Founder Megan Foutch

Already Friends

04/02/21 • 46 min

We had the lovely pleasure of connecting with Megan Foutch, the founder of Fait Par Foutch, a couture label that Dua Lipa will be wearing in no time - mark our words!

After studying fashion design at the University of Nebraska, Megan spent a year in Italy perfecting her craft. Immediately after graduation, she moved to Los Angeles and never looked back. Listen along as the girls talk about moving across the country, internships, leaving the corporate world, launching a brand, and more.

Before chatting with Megan, Allison and Ceara catch up on their recent travels and living situations.

Clean, Healthy Living with Clay and Connor

Already Friends

08/13/21 • 60 min

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 your happiest, healthiest self - mentally, emotionally, and physically.

An Honest Conversation About Drinking

Already Friends

08/06/21 • 52 min

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. We are not trying to make anyone who does drink, smoke or party feel bad about their choices. Simply, we want to help normalize that it is more than okay to not partake in drinking culture (for any reason that you may have) and we are here to support you on your journey!

A Life Partner - Loyalty, Independence & Growing Together

Already Friends

05/28/21 • 79 min

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 basis. Clay brings a lot of knowledge and motivation around fitness and living in the present moment. Allison brings creativity, self-growth, and a clean lifestyle mindset.

They talk in-depth on the topic of loyalty - what that means for them as a couple, to their individual authentic self-expression and the commitment to being a better version of themselves each day. Recently, the two have been experimenting with periods of sobriety, daily workouts, and cutting back on unnecessary spending.

On her lifelong pursuit of diverse real-world experiences and knowledge acquisition, Saundra has discovered many tools over the years that help keep her in a stable mindset. She shares her journey from living in a state of chaos to creating a life of peace, love and contribution.

Road Tripping 101: Our Best Tips + Funny Stories

Already Friends

09/24/21 • 47 min

Another travel episode for you! This time, we dive deep into road trips - specifically in the US. We are fortunate that both of our families took lots of trips by car throughout our childhoods so we’ve had the opportunity to visit many states and remote destinations.

We just got back from our own road trips as well so we thought we’d share more details about our routes, rental cars, packing, sleeping in the car, camping, and general advice around the subject. We love that traveling by car allows a flexible itinerary, the freedom to stop at any destination you desire, and is a great option for budget travelers.

This episode definitely unlocked some nostalgia and trips down memory lane. We hope it inspires you to take a big or small road trip soon as there is so much to explore around you, no matter where you live!

Traveling the World (While Working a Full-Time Job) w/ Corie Fay

Already Friends

09/17/21 • 69 min

We are super honored to have Corie Fay as today’s guest. At the age of 27, Corie is a full-time consultant (which she'll explain what that actually means). Boston homeowner, and a girl who takes nearly every opportunity she can to travel. With 40+ countries on her resume, we were excited to ask her how she balances working a 9-5 (*8am-8pm*) while jetting around the globe.

Corie shares adulting advice, financial tips, travel stories, and how she keeps her calendar full. Her content has been gaining momentum as she is the master of the tripod self-photography game.

Before Corie joins, Ceara and Allison catch up on their recent trips. Allison is in Colorado with her boyfriend. Ceara just finished shooting in the Northeast with Beautiful Destinations and is heading to Maine. The girls are in a silly mood from some chaotic travel situations and share a lot of laughs this week.
