Entre NousAu revoir (we're taking a breather!)What started as a fun project of just doing the thing has quickly become a 15-episode long season. We are so grateful that you have come along with us for the ride and for all the amazing encouragement you all have shown us.
15 episodes in, we've decided to take a small break to review where we've been, how far we've come, and what's next for Entre Nous.
In this season finale, Steph and Marcus reflect on the journey so far. Listen out for: our favorite episodes, whether or not we have gotten used...2020-10-2600 minEntre NousThe Gender Episodes - Gender Equality Is An Everyone EffortAdvocating for greater gender equality requires all our voices. It's not just a movement for better lives for womxn, greater gender equality benefits men too.
In this episode, Marcus and Steph discuss all the little changes we can make in our lives to make this world a better place. It's about challenging the stereotypes, changing the narrative for children, and really, stepping out of our own assumptions and comfort zones around gender.
What are some things you can do in your own life to create a world with greater equality?
...2020-10-1900 minEntre NousThe Gender Episodes - Gender Stereotypes Keep All of Us ImprisonedThis is Part 1 of a two-part mini-series on gender.
"Boys don't cry." "Girls play with dolls." In this episode, Steph and Marcus discuss how they've experienced gender stereotypes and reflect on how these stereotypes impact all of our lives.
Listen for: Steph's thoughts on how we've done men a disservice, Marcus on how we all have masculine and feminine aspects, Marcus and Steph on how vastly different the embodied experience is for men and women, and Marcus' personal project.
How has gender shaped your life? What, in your opinion, is...2020-10-1200 minEntre NousHow to have Hard Conversations 😫Your palms sweat, your heart races, your mind floods with "What if? What if? What if?"... That's what hard conversations can feel like. And we've ALL had them.
2020 was Steph's year of learning how to have hard conversations. So, in this episode, Steph and Marcus have a conversation about hard conversations. Natch! These are the tough ones about relationships, work -- anything in life that means something to us. And they're hard precisely because there's something at stake for us.
So how do we meet these head on? How do we have hard conversations...2020-10-0500 minEntre NousOn Switching Careers (And Why We'd Do It Again!)Did you know that Steph used to be a teacher? Or that Marcus studied Electrical Engineering? Between the both of us, we've switched careers multiple times and we're better for it.
In this episode, we dive into how we made the switch(es) and more importantly, WHY these changes were so significant for us. We look at where we've been and how they have shaped us into the people we are today.
Is it better to plan for your future or just wing it? What's most important when searching for the right job...2020-09-2838 minEntre NousListening to Music Is a Full Body ExperienceDo people with eclectic musical preferences have richer inner worlds? Or are they just weird? Is there a link between curiosity and musical tastes?
In this episode, Steph and Marcus discuss the role that music plays in their lives. From the songs that tell the story of their lives to the ones that you are kind of embarrassed about but know every single lyric to. (*ahem* Mambo No. 5 *ahem* MmmBop *ahem*)
Listen out for: Marcus' description of listening to Ennio Morricone 'live', why Steph no longer makes music (and why Marcus does), why Steph...2020-09-2135 minEntre NousOn Growing Up AwkwardWe were awkward children and look how we turned out 😂 In this episode, we revisit our childhood, reminisce about what it was like to feel like odd ducks and reflect on how we came to love the people that we are today.
Did the popular kids feel awkward too? Does everyone feel awkward in their childhood? How do people move through that awkward phase? We muse on all these questions -- and more.
Listen out for: Steph & Marcus' Theory of Awkward Development, what Marcus agrees 1,000,000% with, and why Steph is grateful for her...2020-09-1435 minEntre NousWhy Everyone Needs a Coach and a TherapistIt's about time we did an episode on this. As coaches, we are all about personal development and inner work! In this episode, we chat about how coaching and therapy are similar and different, how everyone can benefit from both, and our personal journeys in both modalities.
Listen out for: Steph's discreet Seinfeld references (let us know if you spot them!), our discussion about the stigma around therapy and why we should normalize it, the value of having a dedicated space that's 100% just for you, and how coaching works.

In this episode, we chat about all things reading. Why we read, how reading shaped us from childhood, what we read (spoiler: we're not snobs), quaint bookshops, AND our recommendations for must-read books.
If you've enjoyed the twists and turns of our conversations, you might enjoy hearing where these ideas come from.
Tell us what your favorite books are over at our Instagram (https...2020-08-3140 minEntre NousWords create worldsThis episode was kind of meta. We used words to explore how words inform how we experience the world. How doe words interact with the world we live in? Does the word we choose to use influence how we experience something? Does being multilingual change how you experience the world? Does Marcus dream in English or German?
So. Many. Questions. Join us as we explore all of these questions, unpack the roots of "abra cadabra", The Gospel of John 1:1, and Steph's take on how manifestation and the law of attraction works. In true Entre Nous fashion...2020-08-2437 minEntre NousMaking Nails with Heads -- Just Do the Thing!Nägel mit Köpfen machen. Making nails with heads. Wait, what?
This week, we talk about just doing the thing! Steph is a recovering perfectionist and Marcus has a strong bias towards action. We chat about doing the thing, not overthinking, getting out of your head, and how all the scary 'what if's' are 90% fiction.
Listen out for mentions of chakras, the ugly face of failure, the 5 'So What's', saboteurs, and some freaking amazing energy from the both of us (because we're just so excited about just doing the thing).
Ho...2020-08-1735 minEntre NousHow to be AloneIs being alone necessarily lonely? What reflections has being in lockdown sparked for us? How did we go from chatting about being alone to curiosity to talking about therapy? What do we do when we're alone? How do you stay connected when you're alone? Why does Steph book appointments with herself in her calendar?
So many questions about something that can be really scary for some folx! But we're two introverts and, as you can imagine, being alone can be a truly joyful place for the both of us.
Let us know your...2020-08-1034 minEntre NousWaxing Lyrical about Walking"And this is precisely the secret held by all those who go by foot: Life is prolonged when you walk. Walking expands time rather than collapses it." -- Erling Kagge. This week we talk about a book that's got Marcus all reflective and philosophical about the everyday activity of walking. Join us as we stroll and meander through all the things that walking opens up for us -- how we experience the world, being present (or not) in calls, emotions, the nature of time, and neuroplasticity.
Wait, what?
Yes. In true Steph and...2020-08-0334 minEntre NousWhat We’ve Learned in Our 30sJuly is Steph's birthday month, so OF COURSE we had to talk about age, getting older, and being in our 30s. In this episode, we chat about the things we've learned since hitting the big 3-0. What new realizations have we had? What hasn't changed at all? Join us as we wax lyrical about getting older, reflects on the influence that our parents' stories have on us, and chat about '4AM friends'. Do you have any thoughts about getting older? What's clearer for you with each passing year? Let us know over at Instagram (https://instagram.com/entrenous.podcast...2020-07-2731 minEntre NousWe Are No Longer About That Productivity LifestyleWe are huge productivity nerds. Period. But what does using time wisely look like to us? Is it just doing more? Join us in this episode as we reflect more deeply on productivity and what it means to us. We chat about productivity, play, and procrastination (we love alliteration!). Also: binge watching 5 seasons of Queer Eye and the illusion of work-life balance... oh, and tattoos. Somehow tattoos snuck in there. 🤷🏻♀️

In our very first episode, we explore what being an adult means. More specifically, we nerd out on Robert Kegan’s Theory of Human Development. Join us as we chat about how we move from a socialized view of the Self to more creative and transformational approaches to life.
