Back by popular demand, we’re doing another “Bra’s Off” Episode! Sarah brings on friend of the show Paige Bourassa (She’s like our Dr. Drew at this point) for a completely unfiltered episode filled with laugh out loud stories and some real life wisdom. We talk about everything from dating in your 30’s, to colonics, to female entrepreneurship AND answer some of your listener questions along the way. If you’re not laughing in the first 10 minutes you’ll get your money back. (jk, this is free and I’m unemployed).

Big Kid Problems
06/16/20 • 42 min
“The system isn’t broken, it’s working exactly the way it was designed”. This week we take a look into the Criminal Justice System and why it’s such a #bigkidproblem with our AWESOME guest and Candidate for NY District Attorney, Eliza Orlins. Eliza has been a Public Defender in New York City for over a decade where she has represented thousands through the Criminal Justice System. We’re going to talk about how the system works, why reforms need to be made, The “Central Park Karen” case, and most importantly why WE need to pay attention to our State and Local elected officials if we ever want to make ANY real changes in our communities.

39. Get your Money Honey! Navigating Pay Cuts, Government CHECK$ and Financial Uncertainty in 2020 with @MrsDowJones
Big Kid Problems
05/05/20 • 64 min
Right now, I know one of the biggest BIGKIDPROBLEMS everyone has on their mind is their personal finances. We’ve never seen an economic shutdown at this level before and I think it’s safe to say we’re all a little nervous about how this is all going to shake out. Whether you are one of the millions of people who lost their jobs because of this pandemic, or maybe you're trying to keep your business afloat or maybe you’re nervous about layoffs and pay-cuts we ALL have questions right now. Questions that I sure As HELL do not have the answers to. But That’s why I am very excited to bring our little finance whisperer and friend of the show, Haley Sacks AKA @MrsDowJones back on the Podcast this week!
We’ll talk about what to do during a recession, how to get the most out of the government relief packages, navigate layoffs and pay-cuts, maybe talk about some new ways to make money or side income during this difficult time and much more.

There can be a slippery slope between wanting to get in shape and starting to obsess about it in an unhealthy way. (Ugh, guilty) Jenn Kahan joins the pod today and she is a Certified Personal Trainer specializing in the mental and emotional aspects of fitness. She is someone who has overcome an unhealthy cycle of food obsession, eating disorders, anxiety and exercise bulimia, and has lived to tell the tale. We’ll talk about recognizing if you have a problem, all the usual methods of coping with mental health issues - what worked, what didn’t. Then we’ll get into all the interpersonal work and mindfulness techniques she used and now teaches others to help them break free from bad food & fitness habits.
