  • Spilling the Tea on Embarrassment vs. Shame

    Spilling the Tea on Embarrassment vs. Shame
    Mar 28 2024

    Jonni and Maria talk about the differences between embarrassment and shame and spill the tea on some of our award-worthy embarrassing moments. Whether from middle school plays to brazen attempts to bond with the cool kids. Whether it’s attending the wrong party for almost 30 minutes (and drinking their wine) or the everyday embarrassments we all feel. Jonni and Maria share the laughs, physiological reactions and emotional scars that stay with us, how to take away the power of embarrassment, how sometimes embarrassment can lead to shame when handled badly - and explore the moments that remain with us. We break down an "official" difference between embarrassment and shame, and of course, cite Brene Brown.


    Plus, kid updates, slumber parties, Alcatraz visits, what the hell is "snappy casual?, Maria's new book coming in September,, and more tomfoolery.

  • What Did You Say? Slang, Work Speak, and Why Evolving Language Matters

    What Did You Say? Slang, Work Speak, and Why Evolving Language Matters
    Dec 1 2023

    Jonni and Maria talk about the evolution of language and how the heck we can understand each other better..From the ways we now refer to different groups to be more inclusive and respectful, and how this is constantly evolving - and should be, as we learn more and strive to be better to each other. We talk about generational slang, from the 50's to the 80's to Gen Z, "professional" talk versus casual talk, how we learned to write formal letters and emails, which phrases are keepers no matter what generation, and how we feel about swearing. We discuss how language can divide us but also connect us. And of course, we share our own adventures trying to understand what language our kids are speaking.


    We'd love to hear what you think!


    Plus, Halloween debrief, our take on when Christmas decorations can go up, helping our kids become more self-aware, plus more tomfoolery.

  • My Kids Don’t Cherish My Childhood Movie Faves!

    My Kids Don’t Cherish My Childhood Movie Faves!
    Oct 20 2023
    Jonni and Maria talk about the movies and TV shows that shaped us. The ones we recall fondly, that are forever linked with important milestones, and which ones we feel like our kids MUST know in order to get certain jokes, references, or truisms in our current culture. We discuss what we loved and why, what we have tried to share with our kids (to varying degrees of success), and how some of our beloved favorites just don't stand up in this day and age - and how sad that is for our soul. We also reflect on how our parents must have felt with us, when it comes to their favorite classic movies, music and pop culture.  Maybe it’s just the way of nostalgia, that we always believe “our stuff” is/was the best. We'd love to hear your picks as well!Plus, back to school, fall chaos, recent wins, the fears we should say YES to, Halloween antics and costume roulette, our recent IRL Seattle visit, how to properly tip  (and what we teach our kids about it), plus more tomfoolery.REFERENCES MENTIONED:Maria's TEDx Talk: How to "Trojan Horse" Leaders into Being an Empathetic LeadersOn being with Krista Tippett podcast: Dacher Keltner - The Thrilling New Science of AweGreaseThe GooniesFerris Bueller's Day offElfPretty WomanCitizen KanePulp FictionAmistadSixteen CandlesPretty in PinkSchindler’s ListRaiders of the Lost ArkThe Philadelphia StoryE.T.Dead Poets SocietyWhen Harry Met SallyThe GodfatherGoodfellasStar WarsSeinfeldHotel RwandaFriendsM*A*S*HThe Brady BunchThe West WingCONNECT WITH USWe’d love your feedback and ideas about the show!
