Gifts Are Hard, Health Is Personal & Your Mindset Matters More Than You Think | Anything But Average Mondays
In this real, wide-ranging conversation, Christina and Brittany dive into the everyday topics that quietly shape our lives — health, hormones, money, mindset, and the pressure to “get it right,” especially during busy seasons.
They kick things off with honest health updates, from sinus infections to wearable health tech, and share candid thoughts on tracking data versus trusting your body. From there, the conversation shifts into the stress of gift-giving, why it often feels so overwhelming, and why experiences almost always mean more than material things.
The episode also touches on investing — stripping away the fear, complexity, and noise to focus on consistency, patience, and mindset — and how lessons from market shifts (like COVID) mirror the way we navigate life.
Finally, Christina and Brittany open up about anxiety, especially as it relates to hormonal changes, food cravings, and the comfort found in nostalgia (yes, including the healing power of a grilled cheese).
This episode is equal parts grounded, comforting, and perspective-shifting — a reminder that simplicity, trust, and presence often matter more than perfection.
