Hormones, Anxiety, and a Graves' Disease Diagnosis with Lauren Taylor-Sharaf

In this week's episode, we chat about how we compare ourselves to our old selves. How easy it is to fall back into those habits that we think feel safe, comfortable, and familiar, when really A. there not invited anymore, and B. it can hold us back in so many ways.  We also chat about navigating through comparing ourselves to others, and if we focus on ourselves (easier said than done, we know) it's great to do your own thing and do you. Appreciate others’ work but love yourself for your ideas and who you are, because we think you're pretty great!

In this episode, we’re on the go. Literally - OTG! This week, we invite you to experience a typical phone call or text conversation between your favorite GWA gals. Tessa with words and Heike with space.

***Side-note - Regretting You by Colleen Hoover is the book Tessa shared. But of course, in the truest OTG form,  she was cut off while driving those gorgeous Hawaiian roads. ***

In this episode of GWA, we discuss how important it is to take time for yourself during the holiday season and as the year comes to an end. To find ease, grace, and kindness for yourself and others during this time. To keep those boundaries strong when we feel obligated to attend all the holiday functions...here's a little secret, you don't have to go if you're not feeling up to it. Cheers to all for surviving another year we all deserve a round of applause! Remember to rest when you need it and to celebrate when you want! We will talk to you next year!

In this episode of GWA, we had the lovely Quigley Goode on! She is a content creator, visual storyteller, educator, and founder of Soulcial Media, a wife, a mother,  a wearer of all hats. We covered all topics, you name it we talked about it. From anxiety and mental health to receiving positive and negative DM's on Instagram to being pregnant, giving birth, and finding your sex drive again. She might have even sung a little tune for us, you will just have to listen to find out. Quigley shared it all and we couldn't have been more grateful for having her own and lighting a fire under us to be our authentic selves. We hope you love this episode as much as we do and you get that little spark under you as well!

In this episode of GWA,  Heike and Tessa talk about how easy it is to feel flustered when your plate is overflowing with to-dos.  When we put unwanted pressure on ourselves to get everything done all at once, but maybe just maybe if we step back and chill we can see that it's not the end of the world. Also, there is a discussion about how society and other people's opinions can start to trickle into our mindset and question our timeline. And you know what we say to that?! None of you're bleepin' business! Keep doing you and strutting down your own path, because in the end, everything will work out!

In this episode of GWA, we are getting sentimental y'all. We discuss how grateful we are for this community and how much you all mean to us. If it weren’t for you we would just be two anxious girls with mics talking to each other, and that’s okay too. Also, we share how we are grateful for ourselves and all the hard work we’ve put in to be our best selves! Remember, it’s okay to give yourself a little praise, you deserve it!

In this episode of GWA, Heike and Tessa are chatting about how the full moon can affect them. Do you feel uneasy, not grounded, and anxious during the full moon? If you said yes to one or all of the above, you're not alone, us too! We share how sometimes we feel a little on edge when that big ol white rock is shining in all its glory in the sky. And we may not be full moon experts, but we have been around enough full moons in our day to share some tips to feel more grounded and like yourself and if all else fails, blame it on the full moon.
