EP 57: Compare Less, Create More

12/01/20 • 66 min

L & J // On this weeks episode Lulu and Jana are talking about comparison which has been a reocurring theme for both of them in their professional and personal lives, as well as for their clients over the last few months. The girls know first hand how easy it is to fall into comparison, especially with social media making the lives of others so accessible, but they both believe that it truly is the thief of all happiness. L & J discuss why comparison is self sabotage and ultimately self destruction, how procrastination and distraction is a common coping mechanism for a lot of people, and how to pivot and readjust when comparison does creep in 🧐 The women are sharing how they prioritize creativity over consumption, how they set boundaries for themselves online, and how they shift from comparison to gratitude. Other talking points : why manifestation doesn't work unless you do, how L & J coach their clients through moments of comparison and low self worth, and the things that the women do to promote creativity and stay in their flow 🌊

EP 56: YOUR BODY YOUR BUSINESS - Birth Control & Advocating For Yourself

Something that Lulu and Jana are very passionate about is advocating for your own body, in every way possible. L&J have both experienced hormonal imbalances and repercussions due to years of taking hormonal birth control after being prescribed at a young age like so many women, and coming off of it. In this episode the women are discussing how the responsibility of monitoring fertility and avoiding accidental pregnancy *almost* always falls on the woman, the assumptions men make surrounding women being on some form of contraceptive as well as the entitlement and expectations men have when it comes to their partner using birth control as a preventative measure because they would rather have condom-less sex, to enjoy themselves while being seemingly okay with us women risking our health by changing our biochemistry for pleasure, no huneyyy. The women also discuss the alternative forms of contraceptive that they have chosen to use, and how empowering and life changing fertility & cycle tracking has been for them. Other talking points; using the fertility awareness method (FAM), basal temperature tracking, the different cycle tracking apps, making the shift from tampons to menstrual cups, what the colour of your monthly bleed is telling you about your health, how to tune into your body more, the importance of regular STD & STI tests, and how to advocate for yourself with both casual and long term partners.
