    2025/06/04

    Ep 229: In this episode, Allison and Ceara play a fun game of Something You’d Know About Me If... where they reveal little things you’d know about them if you were their roommate, coworker, childhood friend, and more.

    They also catch up on all the latest going on in their lives. Allison’s moving from Tulum to The Netherlands and talking all the challenges that’s coming with it. Ceara talks about a recent book club meet-up and upcoming summer travels. They also recap recent highlights like a homemade pizza night and some exciting business wins.

    • You learn a lot about someone by how they act in everyday moments — from road trips to birthdays to haunted houses.
    • They discuss the little quirks they have around living with others.

    Pregnancy Announcement, Starting An Influencer Account and Feeling Left Out (WWYBD?!)
    2025/05/28
    Ep 228: In the catch up segment, Allison and Ceara share some major life updates! Allison is pregnant and just finished her first trimester. She shares behind-the-scenes about how she got pregnant, the first ultrasound, and how she’s feeling about everything. Allison also has an exciting update about her store in Omaha (1404 Collective). Ceara is celebrating her 1 year wedding anniversary this weekend. Her and Connor are planning a special trip back to Charleston (where they got married) for later this summer. In the WWYBD part of the episode, we discuss destinations for a solo healing trip, how to start an influencer account without caring about people’s judgment, discuss the pros and cons of working from home, and our thoughts on a situation where someone was feeling left out of the group. QUESTIONS ANSWERED:Are there any places you suggest to travel to for grief/ anxiety healing?What advice do you have to overcome the possible judgement from your friends and family to start an influencer account on instagram? Change is scary. I want to try something new but I’m scared of losing the flexibility of my current job and I’m worried the grass isn’t greener on the other side.Being a gay guy, I gravitate towards the girls. Love them to death and truly feel the love back, but on the contrary, I think it’s really easy to be left out being the only guy. It makes me wonder if it’s truly because of my gender, or if I need better friends.

  • How To Shift Your Energy From “Chasing” To “Attracting”

    How To Shift Your Energy From “Chasing” To “Attracting”
    2025/05/14
    Ep 226: In this episode, Allison and Ceara deep dive into the energetics of chasing versus attraction and how it applies to relationships, career, friendships, money, and self-worth. We share why it’s important to align your energy to a place of abundance and confidence in order to obtain the opportunities, jobs, situations, experiences and friendship that you want. Chasing these things typically leads to exhaustion, feeling worthless, burned out, and fearful. We share tangible tips, quotes and personal lessons that have helped us overcome “chasing” so that we could make space for better, more aligned things to come our way instead.TAKEAWAYS:The best energy you can be in is knowing “I will be good no matter what. I will attract what’s meant for me no matter what” You don’t have to beg for what’s meant for you. When you align, it arrives.Chasing comes from fear. Attraction is rooted in trust and self-worth.The more you know yourself, the less you tolerate what isn’t for you.Slow down, tune in, and let life come to you.You’re not behind — you’re being prepared for something that fits you better.RELATED EPISODES:Ep 105: Career Advice, How To Change Careers and Burnout with Ashley StahlEp 125: Why You Might Be Overwhelmed and How To Ground Yourself When Life Gets StressfulEp 136: Is It Time To Close A Friendship Chapter?MENTIONS:Ceara Favorite Restaurants in London:The Buttery - Breakfast in LondonDishoom - Indian foodBourough Market - Food Market Nate Bargatze - SNL Skit Washington’s DreamWhy We Call It “Soccer” Allison Spa Rec in Tulum - Quinto ElementoAllison Money Audiobook Rec - Love Money, Money Loves YouSPONSORS + DISCOUNTS: Get Shopify Point of Sale for your business!
