Sacred Tangents

We’re back! We sat down with nothing and ended up with something (I think?) Heidi chats about her hyper-fixations and rediscovering Jesus while Jaymi compares her to the prodigal son and ends with do it lady. All in all it’s a pretty normal sacred tangent episode with Jaymi & Heidi. Enjoy :) 

Jaymi and Heidi tangent about their inside voices. The still small voice, the internal critic, the voices of culture and society, the voices of friends, parents etc. Jaymi tries to articulate what the voices actually sound like or feel while Heidi asks questions and mhm like it’s her job. This one felt extra tangenty and processy. Enjoy this bts into our brains.(mostly Jaymi’s this time) 

This week Heidi and Jaymi confess their latest strange addiction(it’s not pornographic but it is?) Listen for more context. We dip our toes into the waters of parenting and talk through some of the standout points of the chapter with plenty of tangents in between. Parenting is hard and we’re learning as we go like everyone else but the good news is we’re giggling a lot along the way. 

In this episode we take a brief intermission from 12 Rules. We sit down, hit record and talk extemporaneously(look it up) about whatever pops into our brain. We discuss podcasting for 10,000 hours, Heidi gets personal about currently being humbled yay, we get into caring what other people think etc. We kept it short you're welcome. Enjoy. :)

Jaymi and Heidi find themselves again pulling on life's loose threads this week. Imbibing on Jordan Petersons 4th rule of the 12 he has for life. "Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not who someone else is today. This one was encouraging, we hope you find as much life in this conversation as we did. 

Jewelry stores (who's shopping there?), show and tell, and most of all friendship tangents. Jaymi and Heidi discuss the nuances and wade through more friendship questions. The last 15 minutes gets good. Hang in there friends, we're going somewhere, eventually.

Jaymi and Heidi bemoan the fact that this rule is particularly hard for both of them. We delve into why that might be and why its hard to change even though we know the right thing to do. Heidi shares a traumatic driving story and Jaymi once again updates us all on the current state of the office. 

Heidi and Jaymi start a new series based off 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson.  Heidi starts off with a public apology and nerds out about JP. Jaymi establishes that humans are lobsters and outs Heidi's snarky behavior. We both do our best to articulate the science-y, biological and psychological topics of the first chapter and discuss the impact that JP has had on our lives. (It’s a lot) 

Jaymi turns 33 which sends Heidi into an existential growing up tangent. We explore the ups and downs of pressure to "have life figured out" as we grow up, getting comfortable being the people in charge, still clinging to not bringing the casseroles to family events and putting up curtains. Our ducks are not in a row, but that's ok because we're not ducks.

A late night chat on friendship. Heidi goes interview style and peppers Jaymi with a bunch of on the spot questions. Jaymi discloses who his best friend is. We both cover some of the practicalities of how to make new friends, tips on building connection, why we need friends in the first place etc. We're no experts, we're learning as we go- so to our friends, thanks, we appreciate you. :)

A little get to know Heidi and Jaymi episode. We delve into a brief overview of our "journey" the last 12 years, why we're starting a podcast and what we hope our dear listeners might gain from it. Our unconventional story all tied together with a few nervous giggle, a sprinkle of ums, Percy background yells, faffing around and plenty of mic bumps. "We're not low-budget, we're authentic." Enjoy. :)
