Already Friends

We are super honored to have Corie Fay as today’s guest. At the age of 27, Corie is a full-time consultant (which she'll explain what that actually means). Boston homeowner, and a girl who takes nearly every opportunity she can to travel. With 40+ countries on her resume, we were excited to ask her how she balances working a 9-5 (*8am-8pm*) while jetting around the globe.

Corie shares adulting advice, financial tips, travel stories, and how she keeps her calendar full. Her content has been gaining momentum as she is the master of the tripod self-photography game.

Before Corie joins, Ceara and Allison catch up on their recent trips. Allison is in Colorado with her boyfriend. Ceara just finished shooting in the Northeast with Beautiful Destinations and is heading to Maine. The girls are in a silly mood from some chaotic travel situations and share a lot of laughs this week.

In today’s age of hustle culture, the grind, and working to live - we know how easy it is to participate in this mindset. As two high-achieving entrepreneurs, we’ve certainly learned the hard way that overextending yourself will lead to burnout.

You guys know that we love to challenge ourselves and have a lot on our plate but we are not here to romanticize grinding 24/7. It’s easy to think that putting in excessive hours is solely highly productive but it can eventually put your mental, emotional, and physical health at risk.

Allison and Ceara dive deep into what burnout is, its signs, and its side effects. Feelings of exhaustion, being trapped, spreading yourself too thin, cynical attitudes, counting down the minutes left in your shift, and detaching from the present moment are all common signs that we have noticed as a result of being burned out.

We offer a variety of solutions and ideas to help you navigate whatever area of your life that burnout could be happening. Burnout can also occur from relationships, friendships, school, sports, hobbies, traveling, or attempting to maintain a certain lifestyle. We hope this episode offers you support, new perspectives, and a mindset shift around feeling like you have to do it allll.

In our first Travel Like Us Episode 21, we talked about how we got started traveling, solo trips, where to stay, do’s and don’ts, and more. After that episode went live, we had listeners ask some follow-up questions and that they wanted us to share some funny travel stories! You guys know we love traveling and could talk about it all day every day, so we were stoked to record another episode about one of our greatest passions.

In Part 2, we talk about how to find good travel buddies and share some incidents where we personally took trips with people that killed the vibe so we want to help you avoid that. The last thing you want is to be in Paris (after saving and dreaming about the trip for years) with someone who is a nightmare in new environments. We share our advice about traveling when your partner has a totally different travel style than you do. Then end with all the ins and outs of packing - how to, how not to, best suitcases, lists, and more.

There are hilarious ~ travel gone wrong ~ moments that we included in this episode and let’s just say the flashbacks were scary lol.

With the fall semester starting back up, things are quickly getting busy again. More events, football games, class, homework, projects, and weddings. Fewer days basking in the sunshine. If this has you feeling a little squirmy, anxious, and overwhelmed - we got you.

This week, Allison and Ceara wanted to talk about how to find balance in the midst of what feels like chaos, how to prioritize everything being thrown your way, what saying no can look like and how implementing healthier routines can make your life so much easier. In our opinion, it’s a pretty insightful episode so grab your journals, and let’s get going on your goals and to-do lists! Procrastination is not your bestie and she isn’t getting a spot at the table anymore.

Part 2/2 - We expand upon our conversation from Episode 29 with our boyfriends, Clay and Connor. Part 1 was focused on sobriety and our own experiences with drinking and smoking. Part 2 dives into healthy lifestyles from a physical and emotional perspective. We felt that the two topics go hand-in-hand as having a clear mind has motivated us to “clean up” other areas of our life from our homes to relationships to routines and beyond. When you feel good, that positive energy permeates into every other aspect of your life.

We talk about how we include activity daily in our lives (hellllo hot girl walks!), have learned to pay more attention to food labels, experiment with various fitness programs, and are trying new recipes in the kitchen.

Every person’s journey with health and wellness is going to look different. We are hoping to give some general tips but ultimately we want to encourage you to find what works best for you and leads you to be your happiest, healthiest self - mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Everyone has a unique personal relationship with substances - whether they don’t like using them, are indifferent, dabble here and there, party, or abuse them. We live in a drinking-obsessed culture. Everywhere you turn, it seems alcohol is celebrated at the forefront from brunch, to happy hour, to sporting events, weddings, birthdays, holidays, and just because it’s the weekend.

We wanted to shed some light on the flip side of this by bringing on our boyfriends, Clay Fisher and Connor Wiemann, to have a really candid and open conversation. We talk about all of our own experiences with alcohol and weed, how it plays a role in our health, and our current thoughts about sobriety and the sober curious movement.

If you have felt called to evaluate your drinking/smoking habits or just want to hear an honest perspective - then this is a great episode for you. We are not trying to make anyone who does drink, smoke or party feel bad about their choices. Simply, we want to help normalize that it is more than okay to not partake in drinking culture (for any reason that you may have) and we are here to support you on your journey!

What could be more fitting for the Already Friends Podcast than an episode about friendship! Particularly the power of female friendship, how friendship actually impacts our health, how to move on from friend breakups, and tangible strategies for making new friends.

Danielle Bayard Jackson is now a certified friendship coach after being a high school teacher and working in public relations. She realized what a need there was for friendship coaching, especially for high school and young adult women. Her unique approach and niche have garnered her a lot of attention - featured by NBC News, Huff Post, Psychology Today, TED, and several other media outlets. Her TikTok account has several viral videos, she speaks organization’s around the country and she has a book deal in the works. So… Danielle is legit!

We were eager to ask Danielle all of our questions and hope that her guidance resonates with you, no matter what age and stage you are in.

Confidence is a muscle we all have to work on all of the time. It’s a lifelong battle as we age, face challenges, and enter new stages of life. We believe that confidence starts from within and we challenge you to think about your current level of self-esteem. Are you avoiding events because of how you look? Are you holding yourself back from your dream job because you don’t think you have the skillset to get it? Are you dragging your feet on booking the trip because you’re afraid of what someone may think?

We start the episode by catching up on Allison and Ceara’s recent travels. Allison took a 10-day solo road trip to the southwest and is starting the 75 Hard program. Ceara went to the Lake of the Ozarks for a girl’s weekend trip and is heading to Cabo to shoot a wedding. We often find ourselves in cool situations and are regularly presented with incredible opportunities - mostly due to the fact that we put ourselves out there and are open to receiving the abundance.

There are a few weeks left of summer so we encourage you to make the most of it! If you’ve been resisting your next-level self - then this is the episode for you. Here’s your key to unlocking your inner confidence so that your outside follows suit!
