• Episode 16 Cleaning Up The Herd
    May 3 2024
    🎙️ℂ𝕠𝕝𝕕 𝔹𝕣𝕖𝕨𝕖𝕕 𝕋𝕣𝕦𝕥𝕙🎙️ Episode 16: Cleaning up the herd All people are here for a purpose and reason. Some are born to just go along with the herd, others are born to stand out, and beat to their own drum. There is a place for both in this world, we are ones who make our own rhythm, and follow the path less traveled. — we know who we are, we like who we are, and we are ok with upsetting those who can’t control us or make us conform. Do we still carry ourselves in a manner in which is honoring to others? Absolutely, we enjoy sleeping well at night, and don’t believe in inflicting harm upon others for merely thinking and being different than us. We embrace the uniqueness of all man kind, we understand there is a place for both, however what we do not tolerate is the messes that some try and create. It’s often the herd that leaves a heaping mess, and we believe that’s not ok, so we are willing to do some necessary clean up. Even when it’s not our mess to clean up, we didn’t make it, but we believe that it’s a job someone’s got to do and well we know how to handle that shit. Doesn’t make it right, doesn’t make it fair, but that’s real life baby! So put on those rubber gloves, pull that hair back, and get those knees and elbows ready for the dirty mess to get cleaned up. — when the job is done, you will absolutely feel accomplished yourself, and there is always satisfaction felt from doing the right and good thing! Thanks for coming along for our spring cleaning chat this week, cheers! S&Z

    🎙️ℂ𝕠𝕝𝕕 𝔹𝕣𝕖𝕨𝕖𝕕 𝕋𝕣𝕦𝕥𝕙🎙️ Episode 15: Striking a Chord Music, rhythm, staying on beat, it all requires fine tuning.

How to navigate not allowing your mind space and energy be consumed of things that are not worthy of that much time and energy. To be still or to move is always at play, how you move and react is the only thing you can control, people will talk poke and try to get you riled up. Stay centered, and take time to process, is this even worth my response or shall I let this too pass? Stoics have shared for years these practices, tips, and tricks. Staying alert, allows you to be aware of feelings and emotions, choose to move forward with a positive energy that feeds the good not the chord being struck my friends!

  • Episode 14: Better or Bitter
    Apr 12 2024
    🎙️ℂ𝕠𝕝𝕕 𝔹𝕣𝕖𝕨𝕖𝕕 𝕋𝕣𝕦𝕥𝕙🎙️ Episode 14: Better or Bitter As the saying goes, you either get better or you get bitter, and my oh my does that bitter feel good. Especially when the world dishes you all the $hit, it feels good to stay bitter for a while, but problem is with that bitter it changes you. You soon become someone you don’t like and maybe not even recognize. That’s not a healthy place to be, and take it from someone who knows, cuz I have been there. — thankfully we get people who come into our lives that make us feel better, show us better, and therefore we want to become better. At least that’s my story, and why I want to share, and thankfully Zella is willing to be along for the ride and remind me that I’m not always bitter, and there is still sunshine inside! Thanks for coming along this week and listening to us share in how we practice being better, not bitter, enjoy! ☀️ S&Z

  • Bad Habits Die Slowly
    Mar 28 2024
    🎙️ℂ𝕠𝕝𝕕 𝔹𝕣𝕖𝕨𝕖𝕕 𝕋𝕣𝕦𝕥𝕙🎙️ Ahh habits, the lovely things that we do, or don’t do. Where do they even start? Such a common and good question, typically habitually as a child. We often mimic our surrounding influences, and that leads us through life, but sometimes we really take hold to some bad habit. Man do some die slowly as well. — this week we talk about some of those habits, how you can overcome and change them, and create new healthy boundaries with habits you choose to implement. Like accepting or asking help for instance, something we both are terrible about doing let alone allowing, due to our stubborn nature we’ve had since childhood. Why? Well sometimes generational acceptance models this, and you simply follow suit, which is true for us. We grew independent, as we were raised by independent individuals, and it just seemed like the right thing to do. Until later on realizing it also can become a hindrance, which makes it one to reevaluate, and we have. — hard part is setting new healthy boundaries, especially when it comes to family, and no longer operating the way the family has for years. It can feel isolating, but it is a quick way to reveal anyone’s true intentions for you as a person and how you choose to show up for yourself in life. Listen along for the details and a small challenge for even the most advanced folks out there. Make sure to like, subscribe, and let us know in the comments what habits you are replacing, with new healthy ones! Thanks for listening along, and until next week! Cheers! Steff & Zella

  • Episode 12: Motivation and Creation
    Mar 21 2024
    🎙️ℂ𝕠𝕝𝕕 𝔹𝕣𝕖𝕨𝕖𝕕 𝕋𝕣𝕦𝕥𝕙🎙️ Episode 12: Motivation & Creation Let’s talk about some facts here, motivation doesn’t show up on your doorstep, and it sure as heck isn’t reliable. Sorry if that news is daunting, but you needed to hear it, and yet we have good news for you still. You can create your own motivation day after day, by changing your mindset, to thinking creatively! You can be the worst artistic person out there and still succeed at this. You are in fact in charge of you, which means you control your time, and you also control your thoughts. Sure it takes intentionality, yes it’s hard work at first, but will all things it gets easier and more enjoyable over time. That’s the point, and how you create positive changes, even though it won’t happen over night it will happen. — listen along for our tips and games we play with ourselves and see if something resonates within you, then go write down 2-3 things you want to focus on, and spend 3 month’s minimum working at those things. You will without a doubt see things change. Once you do, evaluate, and if you like the results keep carrying on. Together Rozella and I are determined to keep posting the realities of what we face and do ourselves, share it with you all, and in hopes of it inspiring others to do similar things too. We know the naysayers are out there, we aren’t oblivious to you, but we don’t care about the people who want to trash talk from the sidelines. We recognize you’re just part of the equation, the negative is minuscule in comparison to the positive, so give it up already. We know we will remain creative and motivated! 😂✌🏼 cheers, and keep on keepin on folks! S&Z

  • Episode 11: The Way, Truth, and Life
    Mar 14 2024
    🎙️ℂ𝕠𝕝𝕕 𝔹𝕣𝕖𝕨𝕖𝕕 𝕋𝕣𝕦𝕥𝕙🎙️ Episode 11: The Way, Truth, and Life As we age we learn, we adapt, we grow. But how we do this and what it looks like, does it really even matter? — the answer is yes, absolutely, and it’s uniquely you. Life leads us through many phases: in the first phase we are simply learning, as you navigate the second phase you have some experience under your belt, and should make necessary adjustments along the way. The most important part of the process is sinking into truth, as it leads you down a path of morality, which is living life to the fullest. — TRUTH is the way to life. When you reach the point where truth smacks you, you get two choices: you either press into it, or you deny it and blow around in the wind seeking yet never finding. We have learned that the way to truly live the way of life is by speaking truth and only the truth, when something or someone try’s to display otherwise you must call it out as the lie it is. Sure it’s uncomfortable at times, but man is it necessary, especially in the world we live in. So many things are being wrapped up to appear as one thing, when common sense and reality display otherwise. Us humans have a duty, whether you like it or not, to speak up and out when necessary. We are setting the pace for the ones to follow us. If you are a parent too, then you understand what we don’t take care of now, inevitably gets passed along to them. I for one don’t like the sounds of passing off things for my kids to fight, it just doesn’t feel right, therefore I won’t. Be willing to be your own leader, be willing to stand alone on some things, and trust that doing the right thing is always worth it. Much love, Steff & Zella

    🎙️ℂ𝕠𝕝𝕕 𝔹𝕣𝕖𝕨𝕖𝕕 𝕋𝕣𝕦𝕥𝕙🎙️ Episode 9: Giggle, grin, and move on What do you do when life becomes predictable? You know what we are talking about, the moments where you are doing your best to forage forward, but you can almost predict how it’s going to go.

Sure, not every moment can you do this, nor is it appropriate. However, with most things in life, in the big grand scheme of it all. This should be our response. Shake that shit off, and move along, and don’t let the weight of others negativity or even poor choices affect who you are or are becoming I know it’s hard to fathom in some moments. shoot we’ve been smacked with some of the hardest and wildest of things, but sulking in the pit of misery will suck the ever living life out of you, Don’t let it! — giggle, grin, move on and you will be a much better person for it. Trust that the truth and good life will prevail, be part of that positive wave for yourself, and let it flow out to others!
