Do You Hear Me?

Whether it's a stranger at a bar, someone you just went on a first date with, or your serious significant other, everyone has the right to put boundaries in place around their bodies and what they're willing and wanting to do in any given moment. In light of the conversations happening around #MeToo, #TimesUp, and basic consent in relationships, we talk about listening to our bodies and speaking our truths to those we come in contact with and how we've successfully, and sometimes unsuccessfully ...

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. But is it Though?

We're entering into one of the most magical seasons of the year - yet why does it always seem to be accompanied with so much stress and other overwhelming emotions? Juggling family pressures, scary credit card statements and insane holiday social calendars are all things we chat about and how we can find ways to not only survive the holiday season, but actually find ways to thrive and find pockets of rest and calm for ourselves.

Where's the Best Place to Find a Husband?

It can feel like everyone has an opinion on how you should go about meeting a romantic partner, on top of the questions and expectations we put on ourselves too. We talk through the current stage we're both at in our dating lives and wrestle through the question of whether to be proactive in trying to meet someone or surrendering and allowing things to happen in their own time. Apologies for the technical difficulties at the end, not sure what happened to our voices :(

Are Friends Allowed to Fight?

There tends to be a lot of focus on navigating romantic or even family relationships - specifically as it relates to dealing with conflict - and not as much conversation around relational skills in platonic friendships. Which we find odd given the importance and prevalence of female friendships in our lives. So we think it's important to start talking about it more! We get into how we deal with conflict with one another (with some specific examples thrown in just for fun) and share a few practic...

What's Age Got To Do With It?

If you could go back and re-do a previous decade, would you? Or at least what advice would you offer your younger self? We talk about the things we wish we would have done differently in our 20s, the best (and hardest) parts of our 30s, and why purge parties with your girlfriends are a really good idea.

What's For Dinner?

We've both experienced the real struggle of the "cooking for one" dilemma, but realized we each have very different routines and approaches to the way we make food for ourselves throughout the week. Sharing the challenges we've faced in cooking for ourselves and also some go-to recipes and meal plan ideas that work for us in this stage of life.

Can I Sleep Over?

Life is just hard and heavy sometimes isn't it? Realizing we don't have to shoulder it all by ourselves has been one of the greatest gifts of our friendship. We get to affirm one another for the ways we've carried each other through life's low points and hopefully encourage you if you're going through a tough season as well. Also there are updates on the natural deodorant journey as well.

Does Natural Deodorant Actually Work?

We're big believers that taking care of our bodies is such an important component of self-care and self-love, and while the world of natural products can feel overwhelming, we have fun swapping our fave product recommendations and dive into those specifics in this episode. Including Sara's (successful!) quest to find a natural deodorant that actually works.

How Many Closure Talks Are Too Many?

As somewhat of a follow-up to our "Why Can't I Let Go?" episode, Sara talks about practical steps that have helped her move forward from heartbreak and Kalee checks in on where her heart and mind are currently at with her dating life.

Should We Stay Or Should We Go?

As a follow up to our last episode talking about finances, we both have spent time separately processing how living where we do affects the type of people we are and the choices we make on a daily basis. We come together to discuss how we feel about where we live, and whether the solution involves moving or digging in and being extra aware of the influence of our surroundings.

How Much Is That??

It's hard to un-learn narratives we've had engrained in us for a long time, whether that's things we absorbed from our families or the culture at large, specifically as it relates to gender roles and personal finance. We talk about what it looks like to approach our finances in our 30s as single women who thought they might have been married at this point. Also about our need for physical touch - though that really has nothing to do with finances. (FYI this was recorded in February).

Mom, Really?

While Mother's Day might have been a couple weeks ago, we still wanted to do an episode where we honor the relationships we have with our moms and talk about some of the similar challenges we face living life in close relationship with them, and more importantly, how we've learned to communicate and work through those challenges over the years. We love you Mom(s)! Even when you buy baby clothes for your non-existent grandkids.

What Are Politics?

After both participating in the Women's March, we found ourselves needing to explain why we marched to friends and family members, and even better clarifying to each other our hopes behind why we joined in that day. This led us to conversations around the political backgrounds we came from, what we believe now, and what it looks like for us to engage in constructive discussions around pro-life and pro-choice viewpoints.

Why Can't I Let Go?

A reoccurring theme of our conversations about relationships tends to revolve around why it's so hard to let go of people not meant for us. In this episode we talk about the pain and disappointment of something not turning out the way we wanted it to and explore how we got to that spot in the first place and how we can begin to heal and move forward.

To eHarmony Or Not To eHarmony?

Welcome to the first episode of the Hi Friend Podcast! We're grateful you're here, and want to thank you in advance for not totally judging the entirety of this podcast on our first few episodes. In this episode we introduce ourselves and share how this podcast came about, and then we talk about our experiences with online dating, the people who push us to join, and the best and worst parts of engaging with it for both of us. See if we've had a change of heart at all over the years, or if we for...
