I love how Jess has her own mic for her inputs 💕
I LOVE when Jess speaks. Her nuggets are everything ❤
You three are so delightful to listen to/watch. Such amazing chemistry and flow. I would LOVE for JESS to be on a podcast episode…to get to know her and hear all the behind the scenes tea! Love her little comments here and there!
Kenny Ortega wasn’t just a Disney channel legend! He’s got quite the repertoire in both directing and choreography including the movie version of newsies, 80’s movies like dirty dancing and ferris bueller, as well as Madonna music videos and Michael Jackson’s tours! He’s a household name and we stan
I would love for you guys to take one podcast a month for a book club with your viewers!! We can all read the same book and listen to you discuss it once a month ❤️
This was by far the most relatable episode yet! I’m going to start every morning with a walk and a coffee before checking my phone for the next two weeks. Let’s do this!
I would LOVE a Twenty Whatever book club 💙
I got back into reading by game-ifying it. I made a GoodReads account (after a decade of thinking of making one), set a reading goal, added friends who also had reading goals, and then I do e-books and audiobooks because it tells me the percentage of progress I have, which I can then use to update my GoodReads. It's so satisfying marking a book as complete and giving it a rating and seeing your book count go up and get closer to your goal. It's also cool to see what friends on GoodReads are reading.
Love this so much! I have been struggling so hard to get back into a routine that suits my life NOW. I’ve been trying to force myself back into the routine I had pre-pandemic and I have to remember that my life is so different now - it’s been 3 years! I have a different job and a different apartment in a new city. It’s so unrealistic to expect myself to bounce back to the routine I had before
Hot take on reading & The Book Club! 📚
In college, I lost my love for reading. I pressured myself to read "business", "self help", "women in power" etc. non-fiction books, and didn't let myself enjoy reading for the fun of it, and the escapism.
So I picked up a romantic fantasy, and the joy I felt reading was like being transported to being a kid again- I was reading for my own joy, not what I think I "should" read. I now read every night (and I look forward to it!)
For book club - I suggest picking books that bring joy and shed expectations of what you all "should" read, and instead what you want to read :)
P.s. life is short. If you don't like the book, don't finish it. Start a new one & try again 🤗
Overstimulated is such a great way to describe how I’ve been feeling lately!! I think more devoted time to relax and unwind naturally would be so great. Going to try the journaling at least during the weekday!!
Twenty whatever book club please!!! We all read the book and one of the podcast episodes every like 3 months is discussing the book!!
This was probably one of my favorite podcasts from you guys. You’ve inspired me to try and get into a new habit. Can’t wait to see how this goes for you all. So much love❤️
Best advice I’ve heard is that when trying to add a new habit to our routine that we can only add max 1-2 at a time. It’s really helped me be easier on myself and realize that I can’t change everything all at once and instead need to focus on building 1-2 habits for that month or so it takes to pick them up and then I can worry about what i want to add next.
What helped me get back into my reading era, is every morning when I wake up instead of being on my phone I read a book. Whether it’s a fiction or a self help book, I keep my phone on DND and either commit to reading at least one chapter, or I set a timer for 10 mins. Through that I have really sparked an interest for sitting down and reading again, rather than being on my phone. And I’ve been able to read at least 2 books a month!
A lot of what Sierra was talking about by adding something to your routine is called Habit Stacking! I’ve been using this for about two years and it’s such a great way to add a new habit to something you’re already doing.
Riayn, I obviously can’t diagnose you, but I’m curious if you have seen anything on ADHD. Things are describing are textbook and things I have been noticing in myself lately… but it’s actually helped me so much to realize this because 1. I’m not terrible and crazy and 2. There are so many tips and practices that you can put a system in place that can help! Good luck! ❤
I was thinking the same thing! I just turned 30 and was diagnosed during the pandemic when I had to sit with myself everyday and put 2 and 2 together.
"I don't Wana walk" hahahaha I love you R 😂😂😂
Riayn, I think, for me at least starting a new habit has to be important to me. If its not related back to my life goals and who I am/who I want to be. Goals need to have a why. Why are you doing this and what are you trying to get out of this goal? Also love the habit stacking suggestion. James Clear discusses that in depth in his book Atomic Habits.
Loved this episode!!
As a mom to a toddler I can totally relate to Sierra’s dilemma about making breakfast for your little one and worrying about yourself when they’re done! I’ve read so many articles about the benefits of eating with your baby. Maybe if you also think about how eating with Grace will benefit her it will be the little extra motivation you need! ❤
Hi! Licensed therapist here. Everything you're talking about is called behavioral activation. There is a relationship between inactivity and depression. The small steps are so important! You're more likely to keep going and build motivation if you even just do one thing.
This might come off as judge-y but I'm definitely NOT meaning it to be: Has Riyan thought about getting tested for ADHD? I only ask because I was recently diagnosed and a lot of the struggles with motivation, the small reward system, and not eating when you're hyper-focused on something are things I did/do.
When you guys talked about how much effort goes into cooking and how you would rather not eat than cook, 100 percent me. The obsession with new projects and then losing interest quickly, very ADHD. I have so many unfinished projects it's embarrassing.
Just mentioning this in case Rian hasn't thought about it, once I was diagnosed it changed my life! If she's already gone down this road then ignore my unsolicited comment!
I came to the comments to say the same thing.
Omg me too with the bullet journal ! I didn’t buy all the stuff but I’ve def romanticized it and put everything in my Etsy cart 😂
loving you guys and your open and honest communication during these podcasts 🥹💕
Not Riayn and me singing Bad Habits at the same time!!! LOL love y’all and this show so much, it makes me feel seen!!!😂🫶🏾
This episode is EVERYTHING! I don’t feel so alone now. Everything the 3 of you said is my life. Wow. Thank you for being so real and also vulnerable. Seriously changed my perspective of everything. Thank you thank you thank you!
This was wonderful! One of my favorite habits is planning my goals for the week, appointments, and fun things I’ll do in my planner on Sunday. It helps me prioritize what’s important to me and i feel so accomplished when i check things off my to do list 💜
I totally just nailed down a reading habit! I splurged on the new kindle paper white so the fact that I spent the $$ on something is my motivation lol Plus it’s a perfect size to throw in my purse to read on my lunch break! You could download the kindle app to your phone, but it helps eliminate any distraction. Loved this episode ladies- I can’t wait to hear your reports next week ❤
Omg! I was watching Halloweentown High and realized the character Cassie looks just like Paloma! You should add that to your costumes!
You guys talking about working and missing meals. Me refusing to get food till I finish something 😂
A great way to start the day! Getting ready for work and listening to this podcast 💙✨
I have been doing this for years, where every single month I will try something new. Either take something away or add something. It could be something bigger, like waking up at 6am every morning to workout, or cutting out meat, or drinking a gallon of water a day, quitting a bad food habit (eating chips for me). Or smaller like flossing every day, actually getting ready in the morning, stretch every night, quitting nail biting. I then will evaluate and see if it's something I want to continue or adapt or whatever. But yeah, very successful for me, and some habits have really stuck! Some I extended a year, some life, some not at all.
My favourite habit or practice that I picked up is stopping for a second to really listen to myself. Be it about what I'm feeling, or what I want to do or even what I want to eat. Just give my brain the space to express itself, I am always gogogo normally, very social, like to listen to music, podcasts or talk on the phone but I really found a deep calming energy in trying to stop to listen to myself, like o would with my partner or my child. Loved the episode as always ❤️
I can relate to Riayn buying everything for a hobby and then ditching it. I made all my birthday cards last year and am struggling to keep that up. I am making them for next year. There are around 3 a month. I read when I go to bed. I find it helps me sleep. Sometimes I sit on a step on my landing and read when I can't sleep in the night.
Game changer for cooking at home: frozen mixed vegetables (I like the stir fry). And preseasoned meat, like chicken drumsticks.
I do the frozen veggies on the stove, and the meat either also on the stove or in a pan in the oven.
Also yes to rice cooker. Set it and forget it.
I like to think I can meal prep, but often don't have the time for that
Each day is different with my son and challenges he has. With supportive people in my life I've really been able to do something for me once a week. And after dinner we are in for the night so at least I know I'm not running around going to the store or something. That really helps everyday.
Starting a new habit, I am going to workout when he's at preschool.
Anyone else curiously obsessed with the optical illusion making that couch cushion behind that wavey striped cushion look like it has blue stripes at a certain angle??
LOLOLOL I was drinking a biggulp of water when you guys were roasting camp rock, and I SPIT IT OUT! DYING CAUSE THE ROAST WAS WARRANTED AND ACCURATE LOL
perfect timing to listen while getting ready!!
Just started to make exercise a habit! I’m at the end of my second week and it’s honestly amazing and I’m so proud of myself. Been making the effort to get to the gym even if it’s at 10pm. Somehow i’ve stuck with it this far!
Speaking of habits, i started learning Dutch (my 4th language) in duolingo in april. Going strong for 175 days straight and im so so proud of myself.
How fun!! How is your dutch going? (I'm dutch so this is so interesting)
Sierra! I hear you on making yourself breakfast. I make my son’s breakfast every morning but eat a bar or bag of cereal myself.
I started waking up an hour before him and having my morning me time, breakfast/coffee, it’s the best and worth the sacrifice of getting up early 🙏🏼
Can we also discuss another harmful part of the pandemic that we might still be facing today: codependency?? I’m struggling a lot with the fact that I became codependent with my roommate over the course of the pandemic, and now that things are opening up again I struggle with going to do anything without her. Almost like I don’t want to be alone and independent anymore? Did anyone else go through this with the people they were living with during the pandemic??
Yes! Completely relate.
Kenny Ortega also directed Hocus Pocus! Had no idea until I was re-watching it yesterday.
such a great episode, as always!!
You inspired my meal prep for this week. ❤
My goal is to sit on the balcony with my cats and plants in the mornings, drink my coffee and reflect on what I plan to do for the day. I used to do this as a teen, and it was really good for keeping organized.
Listen to the pods right when they come out then watching again on UA-cam because I gotta see it in action lol
New here, what a wonderful podcast! Love the idea of a no tech morning! Some of my goals include self-care and walking. For self-care, Diane from the channel Diane in Denmark here on UA-cam had a video series called reset week self-care where she mentioned in her Monday and Friday video about creating a self-care basket! For walking along with outdoor walks, I use UA-cam walking workout from Grow With Jo and Leslie Sansone Walk at Home. I think the pomodoro technique is also great for goals or habits!
I am not really into podcasts but I love this and watch each episode. Also,the point Riayn made where you said you will do something but don't do it and then you start losing trust in yourself hit home.
I am an English teacher so sometimes I struggle to read for my own pleasure, so a group of my friends and I started a book club so we would all read! We call once a week and discuss 100 pages at a time, and we take turns picking the books!
Well, I guess this is my sign to pick back up journaling 🤷♀️ I’ve been considering it for a little while.
If you’re trying to get into reading, I highly recommend the Libby app! With your library card, you get access to all the ebooks/audiobooks your library has for free! 🥰
So I know this is not for everyone but having my morning alarm be my Fitbit gently buzzing my wrist instead of a loud audio alarm has made waking up so much more pleasant. It can also help with leaving your phone outside of your room
For getting into books, try once upon a book club! The gifts with the book keep me going!! For breakfast I’d try making meals for breakfast that you both can eat.
Start with a chapter a day at least. Keep in mind that it takes about 100 pages to get into a book because it's laying down the ground work of the story and the characters. I like cutting myself off my phone at night and start reading my kindle. Some of the best fiction books I've read are the name of the wind and storm light archives.
im heeerrreeee !!! love you ladies
There are also services that send you frozen, healthy microwave ready meal prepped meals. It is probably cheaper than eating out.
For the tips and tricks regarding habits - to me reading Atomic Habits by James Clear was actually helpful and Paloma and Riayn can use it to start her reading girlie journey at the same time ❤️
Loved this 💜
The two top pieces of advice I'd recommend for building any habit are:
- make it fit with your life as it is now. If you try and change too much for a new habit it's so much energy and you probably won't do it. If you want to read more, for example, find a time when you have a lot of waiting around on a regular basis - if you catch public transport, for example, or if you drive a long way each day you can listen to an audio book, or if you take baths all the time then take a book in the bath.
- Never think of a new habit as taking something away. A super stereotypical example is when people diet they think "I'm going to stop eating junk food" but actually if you want to eat healthier you should think "I'm going to add more fruit and vegetables" or something. Fruit and vegetables are great and taste good, and you can still eat whatever makes you feel good without putting your brain into a restriction mindset.
Also ETA: You should make sure new habits are ultimately achieving something you want to achieve. If you don't actually care about your to do list looking aesthetic, then maybe bullet journaling isn't for you, but if what you actually want is to be more organised, then find a different way to do that - I use a to do list app, for example!
Wow yeah that's so relatable. I was so depressed too and didn't realise it and the whole thing actually opened up my mental health issues so even when it ended I wasn't ok and I had to get help. Still going to therapy. Never ever want to go back there.
I love this!!!!!
I have a journal that has not been written in. I am usually scrolling on my phone, watching TV& reading at the same time. On the weekends if I don't immediately get up I pick up my phone and will waste 2 hours just scrolling.
Omg. What if u have no routine and deal with depression. No motivation to even get outta bed. Much less shower or brush ur teeth. And dealing with three kiddos. Never having a healthy relationship with food. This episode is so helpful. Thank you for this
I’m currently trying to start the habit of getting up 3xs a week to go to the gym at 5am. I’m PP 8 weeks, start work back, exclusively pumping and a mom of three 🥴. Stressed and blessed but I know I have to start this good habit for my mental and physical health. My reward is the sauna after my workout lol
You guys should watch Zombies from Disney channel and let us know what you think. I love it so much! It was my pandemic discovery.
I was old enough when Camp Rock first came out to know it was horrible and I am still obsessed. It's horrible, but I love it lmfao
It's always crazy to me when I hear of people romanticizing the early pandemic, because i'm in a long term LDR (USA to Australia) and when the pandemic hit, my partner was 5 days away from being back with me, and suddenly it was all cancelled and I had no clue when we'd be together again (wound up being 14 months apart, and then another 10 months after that 😢) so knowing people had a fun time at first when everything locked down is such a wild concept to me. I went into such a deep depression, and now that things are better and my partner and I get to see each other every few months again, I have a lot of trauma from it all, and each time we're apart again I panic really badly. It was one of the worst times of my life easily, and that's saying a lot because I've gone through stuff like chemo in the past! I feel like I need a lot of therapy post-Covid but I can't afford it :(
How to become a reading girlie!! - join an online book club (I’m part of the Booksta Bookclub and it’s SO fun. One book a month). - read books about things you’re already obsessed with: - for example, I was a BIG iCarly fan growing up, and then I read Jeannette McCurdy’s incredible new memoir, I’m Glad My Mom Died. One more idea - find a time in your day that you’re waiting for something, and read during that time. For example, I take 35 minutes of public transport a day, and I always read during that time. Best of luck gals ❤️
Lets go girls!!
Ladies, I recommend reading Atomic Habits by James Clear! amazing book on building habits!
Riayn I relate to you so hard
The thing about overstimulation is sooo real for me! I tend to be watching youtube while on my phone or playing ACNH, then I get up to make a cup of tea so I grab my ipod to turn on my audiobook - just to go to the kitchen and back - then return to youtube and so on.. and I realized I literally never gave my brain time to think thoughts, which resulted in my not being able to fall alseep at night because my brain was thinking thinking thinking.. so now I try to have times where I consume nothing, like when I'm driving to work or just leave the ipod where it is xD but it is a real struggle!
Also I stopped using social media (no facebook, no insta, no tiktok..) altogether in january and I dont miss it at all! but there is still enough media left without those xD
Hey Raiyn- just a thought. Have you ever been tested for ADHD or ever considered if that fits with your experience? The way you talk and especially the things you said in this video really reminds me of things I struggle with, I was diagnosed in 6th grade! Us black women are the MOST underdiagnosed group when it comes to neurodiversity!
i highly recommend putting your phone on airplane mode at night before you go to sleep/get into bed-- so if you check your phone in the morning its just a clock
Just wondering is there any way to change the setup so the sofa doesn't do the weird stripe thing?
I would love some tips and tricks for the working girlies who would love to implement these wonderful morning habits but if I wake up any earlier it’s like 5:00am and that ain’t happening. I would love to wake up and see the sun and sit and journal but I only have about an hour and a half to get ready to go to work (I’m a teacher) so I never have time for myself in the morning.
i’m here to comment that kate reinders (miss jenn on hsmtmts) starred on broadway as glinda!! so yes she definitely could play kristin chenoweth haha!
You guys should watch some of the OG Kenny Ortega! Dirty Dancing, Newsies, Hocus Pocus (and some Gilmore Girls 😂)
Sierra is 100% dressing up as Perry the Platypus
Why does the couch look like it has blue lines on it in the sierra close up
Just putting this in here..
'Reading is the process of taking in the sense or meaning of letters, symbols, etc..'
Yay
Not gonna lie, I am very disappointed you guys didn't mention the pixie hollow game!
I’m at the beginning PLEASE watch zombies from Disney
Sierra girl, why don’t you just make your breakfast at the same time as Grace? 😂 Just eat the same thing as each other. My 16-month-old and I just eat all the same food at meals.
Sameeeee
Halloween should absolutely be taken seriously
If you guys aren't the cheetah girls (jess included) i will be devastated
In germany every day is gloomy and it rains every ‘fin day…Thats why im depressed all the time. I finally figured it out…😂 but seriously guys im not joking, we only get one sunny day per month…
Non fiction is so boring to me 😂😂 I cannot do anything related to information or history
Yeah girl needs a romantic smut that’s it 😅
