What Is The Truest, Most Beautiful Story About Your Life You Can Imagine?In this episode, we begin with our thoughts on HBO’s Big Little Lies and how it’s affected us to reflect on our personal perspectives on dating + romantic relationships as a whole. We talk about the fears we have as women in the daunting world of casual, online dating, as well as how our self worth truly defines the way a romantic relationship can unfold.

In What Ways Can I Better Show My Parents Compassion?In this episode, we discuss how quarantine and graduation have impacted our relationships with our parents and growing up with the Internet. In the past, we saw our parents as GODS who had all the right answers but as we get older, we’re seeing eye to eye with them and the dynamic shift is … weird. It can also become more challenging when our parents better understand the changes in our life we’re facing but we have no way of truly understanding the changes they’re experiencing. This is your gentle nudge to bring more empathy (than usual) into future c...2021-01-2745 minCoconut Yogurt24. What’s Your Perm? – Identifying Unsatisfactory Attributes And Making The Choice To ChangeWhat’s in a mindset? In this episode, we explore a variety of topics – from becoming the manager of your emotions to getting a life-changing perm. In our experiences, a change in mindset has unlocked hidden opportunities and built the positive momentum we never knew we needed. The decision to commit to change is the hardest part but why not make it easier by getting a new haircut or putting on an outfit that makes you feel hot! The gist is that in every moment, we have a decision on how we want to feel – so how do you want to fee...2021-01-2156 minCoconut Yogurt23. In What Ways Are You Currently Standing In Your Own Way?In this candid episode, we talk about astral projection, the challenges of fusing art and capitalism, and the divine timing of Pixar’s new movie, Soul.

Reflect On 2020 And Make 4 Lists – To Release, To Thank, To Affirm, To ManifestIn this episode, we invite Jackie back onto Coconut Yogurt. We share the feelings and lessons we’ve encountered on The Great Conjunction. While all this spiritual woo-woo talk can sometimes feel elusive, we’ve taken these events as signs and opportunities to set boundaries, shed what doesn’t serve us, and carve out a life that is based in self love. The Great Conjunction, the Pattern app, the Costar app, and tarot readings have also become vehicles to shed light on the shadow work we want to deal with before the new year. Jackie and Sophie have also started a new...2020-12-2300 minCoconut Yogurt20. From The Eyes Of Your Post-COVID19 Self, How Would You Have Wanted To Spend Your Quarantine?Change is the only constant in our life and gaining “clarity” might just be overrated. We share our wavering thoughts and how we’ve been attempting to ground ourselves in this time. In this episode, we realize that a reframing of the intimidating questions we’re asking are a key part of allowing ourselves to be, living more presently, and accepting the lack of clarity.
We express our anxieties and guilt that come with wanting to enjoy a good book in a capitalistic society that values hard work and career over everything else, and discuss how analyzing our fundamental beliefs about ou...2020-12-1652 minCoconut Yogurt19.

From making pivotal changes like moving to rejecting traditional corporate careers, we dive deeper into the mental and emotional hurdles that we’re encountering. Other than empowering ourselves with our own definition of what a successful life is “supposed” to be, we discuss how reaching out to people who are on our ideal paths, applying The Four Agreements to our present experiences, and routine journaling (no surprise) have been keeping us grounded.
Just a reminder that all of our ep...2020-12-0959 minCoconut Yogurt18. What’s Your Unique Advantage? How Can It Bring More Ease Into Your Life?After reading Meg Jay’s “The Defining Decade” and experiencing bouts of nostalgia, we reflect on the knowledge we’ve received and how we’re using it to approach our defining decade. In this episode, we also talk about the impact of mentors (offline and online), the lack of guidance in the educational system, and factoring gratitude in our daily life while our journeys still feel unclear. Out of these reflections, we’re slowly learning to be patient with our small lifestyle changes and accepting that growth is like training a muscle.2020-11-1100 minCoconut Yogurt17.

We also reference the heavy stereotypes placed on young, impressionable women as depicted in Euphoria, and why it's more important than ever to...2020-09-0925 minCoconut Yogurt12.
