As we both are avid users of social media, we,as well as many other social media influencers, have noticed a serious uptick in social media scammers. Not only does it get annoying, it also hurts the reputation of the site. Here is our take on these trolls and how we think these sites can stop them or improve their platforms.

A lot of us use the term "trust the process" or "love the process" so much that it has really desensitized us from the true meaning of the phrase. The idea of trusting the process or loving it means so much more than we use it for.In this episode, we talk about some of our processes that we use for our work and passions and how even at times that we don't feel like doing the work, we find a way to get it done in the hopes of looking back and realizing how important it was.

All of us have passions, but every day life, opinions of others, and loads of other instances can keep us from living those passions.In this episode, we talk about the trials and tribulations that we have faced when chasing our passions and what we do to make sure we don't lose sight of them.

Diets can feel like a tricky thing to master, but they don't always have to be.

The education system in the United States is not new to controversy and as our country continues to battle the COVID-19 spike, the education system is once again being put on the hot seat for how it will handle the upcoming school year.In this episode, we talk about what we feel are the downfalls of our education system, the positive sides, and how we feel we can make a change for the better.

Inspiration can come from many different places and at times when you least expect it. For us, our inspirations come from so many different places for our different hobbies and passions.

On this episode, we welcome Crystal, the owner of the gym called Tejasfit in San Antonio, Texas.

For many of us, the need to fit on weighs on us every day. Whether you are trying to fit in with a group of friends or trying to impress colleagues or superiors at work, we are all faced with the pressures of becoming a person that people will like. In reality, this is a path that no one wants to take.When we act a certain way to fit in or be "accepted", it can lead to you building a life you aren't satisfied with or even worse, looking in the mirror and losing yourself completely. Being true to who you are is a key stable in setting yourself on a path to success.

In many cases, we see imagination as something that we tell little kids or youth in order to get them to be creative. Being creative is something that is being eradicated more and more for reasons that we cannot understand. Sometimes in order to stand out, being creative and original are the keys to moving forward.

We see more and more people become obsessed with the idea of success more than the work that it takes to actually reach this pinnacle. With that comes unnecessary expenditures as well as other actions to show that you have "made it" when in reality, you are still on that journey as the rest of us.On the other hand, we talk about the idea of finding perspective when it comes to finding your passion and who you are/what makes you tick. As well as diving into the idea that money earned means nothing if you aren't doing what you love and what gives you purpose.
