Merry Christmas y'all! And if you do not celebrate Christmas, Happy Tuesday! We apologize in advance for this weeks episode. Our audio was funky but we didn't know it at the time of recording... then a bear came and interrupted. We tried to keep going... then by the time we heard the recording issues, we decided to call it a day and we will be back next week! Holidays sometimes are a way for us to check in and see what has changed over the year. Maybe this year you have new people gathering. Maybe your celebrating your first year or second year without a loved one. Maybe you are not gathering at all like normal. It can be a very emotional time. It's also a time we may be focused on traditions and trying to keep things the same... even with all the changes we may be trying to keep the traditions going. Or even making new ones! Holidays may complicate things further... Remember to take a big deep breath and let it out slowly. Feel the ground under your feet, the air on your skin. You got this! If we can survive bear visits, you can survive family visits! We got this! Love you guys! Have a great end to this year! Please share, like and subscribe to our ramblecast!

We are there y'all! It is the Holiday season! How did this year fly by so quickly? Like every year, here we are in the season of candies and baked goods. We know most food our loved ones make do not come with an ingredient list, but the food sold in stores typically do. So How do we read the labels and what should we be avoiding? It's extremely overwhelming! Join us while we omit artificial colors from our food. We plan to eat most of the fatty and delicious food at our holidays but in reality, we may be saying no to the candy canes because look at all that color! Please please, bring on the naturally colored and flavored candies this year!! Also, share your experience with us! How have you not eaten the bad food grandma made you without offending her?

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!! Are you excited or do the holidays kick your ass? Physically, emotionally? Is this a bitter sweet time for you or just bitter?

What is your hobby? What is something that you enjoy doing? "What is your why?" Do you have a hobby or joy in life that you work so hard to be able to do?

Yezi and Amber both figured out traveling away from home (even if it's just down the street) is their hobby. Traveling and eating the food! When in Rome! Learning other cultures can be life changing!

Have you been going through the rollercoaster of life? Often times we are just going with the flow and hanging in there... and doing a damn good job at that let me add! But, we tend to forget what we learned, or maybe not even notice a lesson because we are so caught up getting to the next thing on our never ending list. Amber and Yezi start their true debriefing of their birthday vacations and reflect what trials they faced and how they handled them to keep the good times rolling! Le Bon Temps Rouler as they would say in Louisianna! First step, is letting go of control. Second step is to reflect on how you got through it, how it made you feel, what would you have done differently- if anything.

Well guys, we started to record and then the recording device apparently go too hot and shut down. We lost it all! Talking about journalling and the 5 stages of grief and that parents should never have to bury a child. The feeling of a heavy heart, and how sometimes it just doesn't feel like were doing enough to help a friend... all of it lost! So we re-recorded and it just didn't get as deep. I'm happy we both were able to let it out and cry a bit and so sad it didn't make it on the episode. We will definitely do an episode on grief and all that heartache in the ear future. Instead, tune in for todays make-up episode where we finally hear Yezis journal experience and recommendations. And we will touch base on what other topics are to come.
