Practicing self awareness can feel like a balancing act. On one end it create opportunities to be more considerate in your relationships and helps you to understand your influence on other, good and bad. But on the other hand when placed in too much of an emphasis, especially through lifelong experiences, it can lead to hyper criticism, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and a fear of failure and success. In this episode Ceci and Brittany discuss the difference between internal and external self awareness and what’s most important: knowing yourself and living unapologetically or prioritizing others and the influence you may have on them. Hear how has this influenced important decisions in our lives, helped us practice grace, and avoid pitfalls that lead to questioning ourselves.

Transitional periods are never easy and often come about when we feel least prepared. In episode one Becoming…A New Yorker, We describe our uproot and transition to a new city (and no this won’t be a whiny transplant story). We depict the moments where we felt the most lonely, recount our favorite adventures/new haunts, and how we’ve learned to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. Join us as we discuss the moments where we recognized our becoming, embraced it, and learned to navigate it.
