rediscover

Hello and welcome back to rediscover! On this month's episode, we're leaning FULL SEND into Cancer season! From love and goodbyes to taking risks and career shifts, our July conversation is a bit of a freefall, so strap in and get ready for a wild ride! 

Life is a spectrum of euphoria, contentment, grief and loss, and we're sharing stories and recent experiences that have taught us so many valuable lessons, but especially this: that even in the midst of your insecurity, your intuition is ever-present, connecting you back to your highest self and guiding you on your highest journey. 

Today's conversation is all about embracing that adventure and learning to show yourself compassion and grace in every circumstance. Throughout this tribute to all our sweet Cancers out there, we've got some major life updates that cover the full spectrum, and we hope our perspectives resonate with you and provide you with some thought-provoking takeaways to ponder as you rediscover your highest self, surrender to the here and now, and just say: "F*ck it, let's go!"

Hello everyone and welcome back to rediscover! While last month's episode was very grounded in true Taurus season nature, this month's episode took us for a chaotic ride as Gemini season is in full swing. We started the episode off by easing into some typical conversations about summertime excitement, checking in on Jess' Costa Rica Travels, and sending love to our pets who are sick or passed on.

As the episode continues, Steven enters the scene with an ear infection, the air conditioner in Jess's hostel needed repairs, we lost half of a zoom recording, and Kristen's calm night of dog-sitting turned into monitoring a tick! 

However, even with all of that chaos, we still had time to discuss the Live-Action remake of The Little Mermaid.

So if you're looking for a more real and raw rediscover episode, this one is for you. Thanks for sticking with us through ALL seasons of time, and we will talk to you soon!

Welcome back to rediscover! It's Taurus season, and this month's conversation is all about slowing down and getting grounded in our most authentic selves. We're going inward and examining the spaces that we want to heal, nurture, and grow, and that require vulnerability. 

From contemplating the concepts of sober curiosity and intentional drinking to surrendering to our circumstances and unpacking what it means to truly design a life that is aligned with our most honest desires, we are digging deep into what it means to know who you are and live accordingly. We're getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, and with being on the outside looking in. Being authentic has nothing to do with being liked or admired, but everything to do with feeling content in our day-to-day lives and comfortable in our own skin. It's not always easy, and it definitely takes time, but we're here to help you out along the way; to hold space for whatever you're walking through and remind you that you're never alone.

We hope you resonate with today's conversation and that you feel like you're right here with us - sitting on Jess' bedroom floor, two hands wrapped around a cup of something cozy, having a chat with your best friends. Thank you so much for being here, and we'll talk to you again in June!

Welcome back to rediscover! We did a little "spring cleaning" on today's episode - revisiting some old topics from the past and diving into some new ones!

Some of the new and lighthearted subjects we talked about today are the weddings we've attended recently, as well as the upcoming excitement for high school reunions! One of the more technical topics we discussed is how important it is to back up your photos and videos to external storage, how to do it, and the emotional roller coaster that comes along with revisiting your past self.

Rewinding back to 2021, we revisited the conversations centered around social media usage and patterns in dating. Now that we've learned so much about health effects and subconscious mindset work, it's really incredible to see how our perspectives have evolved since then. It's really empowering to make choices from a more conscious space rather than just going on autopilot, and we hope to always continue growing these areas for the years to come!

We hope you enjoy today's conversation and that you feel like you're right here along with us - sitting on Jess' bedroom floor, chatting with your gal pals, and sipping on a cup of something cozy. Thank you for being here and we'll talk to you again in May!

Welcome back to rediscover! Today's episode features a beautifully unhinged array of topics - from career shifts and travel plans to observations we're making about the world around us and how we're rediscovering ourselves in this transitional season. As we begin to ease out of winter and look forward to the hope and rejuvenation that springtime brings, we're checking in with each other (and with you!) and holding space for all of the changes that are coming our way, and all of the exciting things on the horizon! Together, we're learning to dance with our fear and embracing all the possibilities of the unknown, and finding small but powerful ways to experience peace in the "now" and savor the moment. 

We hope you find our conversations both empowering and validating, and that you'll come back next time, on the first Tuesday of the month, for a brand new episode. This is a space held for you to feel seen, known, and understood, and while we continue to rediscover ourselves, we hope you'll feel like you're right here with us, holding on to a cup of something cozy and settled in for a chat with two best friends!

After a several-month hiatus, rediscover is BACK and better than ever. We have reunited in the New Year and are taking a brand new approach to the way we create our beloved podcast.

Moving forward, our episodes are going to be much less structured and flow more like a “coffee shop-style” chat. We’re going to speak about whatever is on our hearts and minds at the time of recording, to truly capture the most authentic real-time experience possible. We can’t wait to see how we grow over the year!

Today’s episode was recorded in the middle of January, where we are deep in wintertime “rest mode." We are experiencing a slowed-down pace with lots of inward reflection, which is in the process of revealing what is most important to us. We discussed everything from the inconsistencies of the “work-life balance” concept in real-time, to how subconscious beliefs unknowingly drive our actions. And we even did a thorough recap on what’s been going on with both of us for the last six months - which has been full of adventure, rediscovery, and even love!

We are so happy to be back and so grateful to have you here. With our new schedule, we will be releasing new episodes on the first Tuesday of every month. We are so excited to continue rediscovering life together! We’ll see you next time!

Welcome back to ReDIScover for another heart-centered conversation! Today we are joined by Lucy Shiplee, who is truly one of the most passionate people we know. Lucy is someone who creates her life around doing what she loves every day, and those choices have truly taken her around the world and back! We are continuing "London Bridge" month, and it just so happens that Lucy is from London, England! She just moved back to London actually - for the past decade, Lucy has been off doing SEVEN contracts with Disney Cruise Line, as well as a Cultural Representative Program at EPCOT. Lucy is the perfect person to talk about the UK vs. US cultural differences because she lived it first-hand for so many years. (and taught us so much on this episode!) Also in today's conversation, you will hear all about Lucy's realities of ship life and the CRP and what kept her going during her most intensive seasons. The episode wraps up with some deep introspection about how you can cultivate your most passionate life and how to check in with yourself to make sure you are spending your time on this earth doing what you love to do.

Lucy is a complete inspiration and such a bright light in this world. We hope you enjoy this chat "with the girls" and leave feeling just a little bit more inspired and empowered than you were before.
