This week’s planned episode didn’t feel right to release.

So I recorded a solo reflection on collective grief, exhaustion, and how we keep showing up — for ourselves and for one another — when the world feels heavy.

One breath at a time.

Are you pushing because it’s time to push—or because you think you’re supposed to?

In this episode, Nancy and Nicole explore the difference between force and flow—in work, relationships, money, health, and even the seasons of our lives. Using everything from puzzle pieces to travel calendars to Starbucks coffee decisions, they unpack how alignment, values, and intuition often matter more than effort.

This is a real conversation about recognizing when something fits… and having the courage to stop forcing what doesn’t.

Perfectionism is sneaky. Sometimes it looks like integrityand high standards. Other times, it looks like procrastination, over-editing, people-pleasing, or avoiding hard conversations altogether.

In this episode, Nancy and Nicole explore where perfectionism comes from, how it shows up differently in the doing parts of life versus the being parts, and why “done” often beats “perfect.”

They talk about creativity, relationships, conflict avoidance, group support, and even a surprisingly revealing go-kart racing experience.

If you’ve ever:

• Talked yourself out of sharing something because it wasn't "ready"
• Been harder on yourself than you'd ever be on someone else
• Believed getting it just right might protect you from discomfort or disappointment

... this conversation is for you!
