It’s the last Friday of the month, so you know what that means - a new WWYBD?! episode, where we answer listener submitted questions. Listeners can submit questions any time via our website, and then we pull questions to fit a specific theme.The girls give a proper catch up. Allison shares surprising (or is it not surprising at all?) updates about her extended time in Colombia! Ceara is planning her upcoming trip to New York for a fun wedding-related partnership.  Questions Answered:<ul><li>Tips on how to stop having a victim mentality?</li><li>I hate my job and want to move to Hawaii. None of my friends will move with me. Is it too risky to move alone? I think it’s badass.</li><li>I just found out one of my best friends from uni has moved to a new country without telling me - I know we drifted apart after uni, but I would have liked to say goodbye... </li><li>My fiancé’s friend group has been leaving us off invites to events the last few months. I woke up this morning, saw all their stories, started crying about it and I feel like such a loser. It just hurts to feel like this and be in a literal group chat with them when they’re super mean.

Her first internship was with a wellness influencer and it was incredibly impactful to launching her career.

She even has two courses through her SOSH School, which are designed to help with that step by step!We wrap up with candid conversations about the pros and cons of social media accessibility, self-care, keeping up with crazy schedules, grounding techniques and why it’s so important to support your small business and creative friends.  MENTIONS:Julia Broome <a href="https://www.instagram.com/juliabroome/?hl=en" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a>Julia Broome <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@juliabroome" rel="nofollow">TikTok</a>SOSH -<a href="https://shopsosh.com/" rel="nofollow"> The Social Media Planner</a>SOSH School - <a href="https://www.soshschool.com/" rel="nofollow">Courses</a> Our Sponsors: * Check out Prose: prose.com/alreadyfriends * Check out Shopify: shopify.com/alreadyfriends Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

164: Continuing our 8 Dimensions of Wellness Series, Allison and Ceara share their perspective on Intellectual Wellness and discuss the importance of being lifelong learners, as it helps benefit all the other areas of your life. Everyone you meet, every trip you take, every job you do, friend you make, relationship you devote to and hobby you try has something to teach you. We also believe that learning is more enjoyable when you&#39;re living an aligned life because you&#39;re naturally going to want to learn more about things you care about. TAKEAWAYS:<ul><li>Intellectual wellness is essential for personal growth and can serve as a foundation for other dimensions of wellness. Take ownership of your future by identifying the skills and knowledge you want to acquire and seeking out resources to learn them.</li><li>Develop time management skills to make time for learning and avoid mindless scrolling on social media.</li><li>Nurture your passions and explore topics that genuinely interest you to make learning more enjoyable.</li><li>Access free information on the internet through books, articles, videos, and online courses.</li><li>Learn from mentors, whether through formal mentorship programs or by seeking guidance from experienced individuals in your field.</li><li>Explore local museums and libraries for opportunities to learn and expand your knowledge.</li><li>Engage in info swapping with friends, setting aside dedicated time to learn from each other&#39;s expertise and experiences.</li></ul> MENTIONS:Astrology App - <a href="https://www.thepattern.com/" rel="nofollow">The Pattern</a>Ceara&#39;s Chicago Hotel - <a href="https://www.therobey.com/" rel="nofollow">The Robey Hotel</a>Our Episode: <a href="https://www.alreadyfriendspodcast.com/shop/p/cheatcoderesourceful" rel="nofollow">How To Be Resourceful </a>Our Episode: <a href="https://www.alreadyfriendspodcast.com/episodes/139reading?rq=reading" rel="nofollow">Getting Out of A Reading Slump</a>Our Episode: <a href="https://www.alreadyfriendspodcast.com/episodes/episode134humandesign?rq=human+design" rel="nofollow">Human Design with Rebekah Joy</a> BOOK SUGGESTIONS:Anything by Malcolm GladwellPower of HabitHow To Stay In LoveCan’t Hurt Me  SPONSORS + DISCOUNTS: <a href="https://www.factor75.com/alreadyfriends50" rel="nofollow">Factor </a>- Real nutrition, made simple.

Focus on providing value and connecting with like-minded individuals.</li><li>Practice mindfulness and radical self-acceptance as the foundation of your spiritual journey.</li><li>Reconnect with your feminine energy and honor the natural cycles of your body.</li><li>Identify your soul work by exploring what you are good at and what you love.

Continuing on with our wellness series, we’ve brought on our good friend (and place maker) Sam Noddle to talk about his career in real estate and recently, entrepreneurship. We dive deep into how Sam has been able to balance frequent traveling and the pressure of large-scale projects with his own physical, mental and spiritual health. We talk about the importance of putting yourself out there, overcoming setbacks, developing a consistent morning routine and defining your personal workplace values. He shares helpful advice for advancing in your career such as finding mentors, turning small talk into real talk and the importance of asking questions. Sam began his real estate career with the Comras Company in Miami, Florida where he had the opportunity to work on the iconic CocoWalk and various other properties throughout Coconut Grove, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Wynwood, The Miami River and Downtown. He is now the Vice President of Leasing at Noddle Co. While no two days ever look the same for Sam, his main duties involve overseeing the development of Aksarben Village. He leads a large team of employees across multiple bars, restaurants, and the Inner Rail Food Hall.Occupational wellness is the dimension of wellness that emphasizes the importance of finding personal satisfaction and enrichment in one&#39;s work, contributing to a positive work-life balance, and fostering a sense of purpose and fulfillment in one&#39;s professional endeavors.

Pursuing Your Career Goals While Maintaining Health and Happiness with Sam Noddle

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2024/1/12/3/b591c18d-72dd-4321-b3b3-4157d926cda3_ep_156_-_environmental_wellness_final.mp3

We are delighted to bring on Ansley Emerson for our deep dive into environmental wellness. This year, we are focusing on environmental wellness through the lens of our physical home space and our spiritual inner space. We thought this conversation was an especially important one to have in January when colder temperatures cause us to be inside more.Ansley is a space alchemist, which is the art of intentionally transforming your internal and external space in order to create your most authentic, fulfilling and free life. She has created powerful space alchemist modalities that she learned through integrating these practices in her own life such as when she manifested and took aligned action towards finding her dream home on Maui at an incredible location, in her budget, with a lot of space and from a local owner. We talk about energy clearing, clutter clearing, physically cleaning and intuitive feng shui. She shares how a home can be a mirror that reflects what is going on inside of us; as our relationship to physical spaces can show patterns present in other areas of our lives such as people pleasing tendencies or holding on to the past in a way that doesn&#39;t serve us anymore. Regardless of your living situation, Ansley encourages us to invest in home health. She emphasizes the importance of creating your unique home sanctuary as a strong foundation so you are able to thrive in other areas of your life that align with your goals and needs. You don’t need to wait until you have a &#34;forever home.”  Takeaways<ul><li>Creating a supportive home space is essential for overall well-being and can have a profound impact on all aspects of life.</li><li>Clearing clutter and releasing attachments to material objects can create more flow and abundance in life.</li><li>Intuitive feng shui focuses on what feels good and aligns with personal intentions, rather than rigid rules and guidelines.</li><li>Energy clearing can be done through physical cleaning, using tools like Palo Santo or herbs, and setting clear intentions.</li><li>Working with a space alchemy coach can help individuals transform their lives by creating intentional and aligned spaces. Finding support and creating offerings that align with individuals&#39; needs is crucial.</li><li>Authenticity and open-heartedness are key qualities of a good friend.</li></ul> Chapters(00:00) Introduction(01:13) Wellness Series Introduction(03:00) Peaks of the Week(04:04) Guest Introduction: Ansley Emerson(06:11) Ansley&#39;s Journey into Space Alchemy(10:46) Finding a Home in Maui(12:32) Creating Sanctuary in Temporary Housing(15:30) Creating a Supportive Home Space(20:11) Clearing Clutter and Letting Go(21:09) The Impact of Home on Well-being(22:58) Reflecting Internal Patterns in the Home(24:51) Exploring Feng Shui(26:38) Intuitive Feng Shui(28:46) Starting the Process of Creating a Healthy Home(31:07) Clearing Clutter and Releasing Attachments(33:01) Challenging Areas and Emotional Attachments(37:56) Working with a Space Alchemy Coach(40:16) Energy Clearing and Setting Intentions(43:56) Using Palo Santo and Other Tools for Energy Clearing(46:21) Cleaning Supplies and Ethical Sourcing(47:44) Working with Clients and Transforming Lives(48:53) Working with Ansley(49:47) Finding Support and Offerings(50:12) Qualities of a Good Friend ABOUT ANSLEY: Ansley is formally certified as an Integrative Holistic Health Coach (IIN HCTP) and Certified Clutter Coach (Linn Method for Clutter Clearing™).

We’re back with another Q&amp;A! The last one of 2023. In our WWYBD episodes, we answer anonymously submitted listener questions. We catch up about the holidays and share our peaks of the week. In this episode, we talk about doing dry / damp january, maintaining friendships when you’re cutting back on alcohol, navigating life changes and feeling nostalgic for past versions of yourself, finding a gym that has community and learning how to cook!TAKEAWAYS: <ul><li>Dry January can be a beneficial challenge for personal growth and wellness, and it&#39;s possible to find a middle ground by reducing alcohol consumption rather than completely abstaining.</li><li>When navigating significant life changes, it&#39;s important to acknowledge and grieve the past while also embracing the new opportunities and growth that come with change.</li><li>Joining a workout class or gym can be intimidating, but going with a friend, choosing less busy times, and trying out different studios can help ease anxiety and find a sense of community. Creating a sense of community in fitness classes can enhance the overall experience and increase retention.</li><li>To foster connections with fellow participants, introduce yourself, engage in conversations, and try to go consistently on the same day and time.</li><li>Subscription meal services can help you learn how to cook and try out new recipes.</li><li>Follow food accounts on social media, watch recipe videos on platforms like TikTok, and consider buying meal-planning PDFs from influencers for guidance.</li></ul> Chapters:(00:00) Introduction(01:23) Catch Up and Travel Plans(03:23) Preparing to Travel with a Pet(05:22) Upcoming Trips and New Year&#39;s Plans(07:06) Small Towns and Revitalization(09:33) Family Visits and Life Changes(13:57) Review of Pager App(16:53) Listener Peaks of the Week(25:40) Advice for Dry January(32:20) Navigating Life Changes and Grieving(38:10) Joining a Workout Class and Overcoming Anxiety(40:03) Creating a Sense of Community(43:08) Tips for Learning How to Cook SPONSORS + DISCOUNTS: This episode is sponsored by Pager, the best app for organizing your screenshots!

WWYBD?! Committing to A Healthier Happier You in 2024

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/12/22/5/4a8b33bd-5efa-424a-9725-454f3e707d57_ep_153_new_year_in_review.mp3

The Already Friends Podcast had such a great year that we wanted to reflect and express gratitude for all the incredible things we did in 2023. We debuted our first iteration of the wellness series, launched our website and first pdf guide (how to start a podcast). We took our first group trip with 17 members of our community. We hit 500k+ downloads which helped us lock in our first long term sponsorship. We had some really big guests on the show and got to meet some of you in real life. We have so much to be thankful for!In 2024, we’re kicking off the year with a second version of our wellness series with all new guests and perspectives of healthy living. We’ll be launching two more group trips (keep your eyes peeled for a special release episode on January 3rd with all of the details). Here’s to so much more abundance, community and growth in the new year.If you want some support from like-minded people, join our patreon page. We will be doing a group hangout every Sunday in the month of January to help turn our vision board ideas into actual smart goals. <a href="https://www.patreon.com/alreadyfriends" rel="nofollow">Virtual Goal Setting Hangouts on Patreon</a> SPONSORS + DISCOUNTS: This episode is sponsored by Pager, the best app for organizing your screenshots!
