Oh, Josephine...

Healing may be a strong word, but knowing that you HAVE to take care of yourself in your love language is an important conversation and something that I felt it took me too long to learn. If you are expecting people to love you in your love language than why are you not expecting it from yourself? Treat yourself how you want to be treated by others - and watch yourself become happier, more self...

Recorded at a time of exciting moments and frustrating questions. We are in it for the long haul and this podcast is a ong one, but in my opinion it is one of my favorites.

I usually only talk to y'all on my good days, but what are the good days without the bad ones? You can't have good without bad - and although we all wish that we could just have a life full of good days - I am sure we would all look for the bad in at least one of them.

When I originally launched this podcasts I bumped from day to day until I finally just stopped posting frequently. That being said - Tuesdays have always been a vibe, and something that I love about a Tuesday is that we eat something that comforts us, a full blown skincare routine, and everything shower, and a large glass of wine. That is the perfect Tuesday - and listening to me ramble about r...

We all get that feeling, but what if we change the perspective? Let's talk about it.

Well... that was fast... and I am sure I was not the only one that walked into this year less than ready for it. Let's take a walk down the valleys of my brain, tough conversations that have already been had, and how I am setting manageable goals for 2024.

Well hi there! I hope you are well - because the past couple of months have been INSANE. Let's talk about what is happening, and what I have learned.

I can’t even begin to describe this one.. it’s 5 minutes. Just listen to it lol.

Imposter syndrome is something that I talk about frequently, and it is not because I am immune to it. In this episode, I flip the script just a touch - rather than talking about how to combat a syndrome that is destined to bother the living everything outta you - let's talk about how to attract the shit we actually want and a majority of that is just disagreeing with just about everything your ...

Now now, I am not saying that you need to become a part of the Catholic church or anything like that, but I am saying that you have to know that you aren't ever really alone in this thing called life. Although you are scared, and every step you take is quite frightening - know that you are never alone, and it is all apart of a master plan. Roll with the punches and you will be happier than ever...

We haven't talked in a hot second - so let's catch up. There are new characters in the mix, and we are going through it but coming out GLOWED TF UP on the other side! Grab a glass of wine or hop in your car - this is a long one.

Y'all know me and I am a LOVER GIRL! That being said - we who love the hardest sometimes are not great at ever accepting the love we truly deserve. We just give and give and give. That being said, I have been receiving a lot of love recently and I think I cracked the code on why this is happening all of a sudden... hop in - and we are introducing... Alaska Military Boy... seems like he might be...

Long time no see! I would apologize but I really don't feel bad about being missing for a hot second - ya girl NEEDED it! But I am back and truly feeling better than ever. So, let's catch up on the love, the fam, and the career - there will be more to come because some of it just wasn't QUITE ready to be announced, but I STG y'all will be the first to hear about it all!

Being genuine is something we really struggle with as humans nowadays, but I PROMISE that if you are not being yourself you will not hit the success levels that you hope to. If you are not allowed to be authentically yourself then you are not meant to sit in that chair - so get out 😘

An Era that some call manic, some call sleep deprived, but my ads manager calls Mad Genius. I am going to implement that one because the others seem so.. negative LOL! A sleep deprived convo where I talk about believing in yourself, and how truly... even if you don't see it - you are good at what you do!

This is one that has gotten under my skin for years, and the real ones know that it bothers the living EVERYTHING outta me. A few side tangents and a wrap around to why respect in relationships is different than in business - we get to the nitty gritty of work relationships and respect in the industry as a woman.

If you know me; you know I celebrate my birthday for the entire month of March. This is something that I have truly done since I was a child - and I am not planning on stopping. Welcome to the start of the next 13 days of entries to celebrate the month of Josephine during the year of Josephine!

Luck is not how I got to where I am. I have worked my ass off, and truly nobody can convince me that I do not deserve to be where I am today. To anyone that needs an aggressive pep talk... this is the one.. becuase someone has tried me...

No promotion talk on this podcast. Let's talk about other ways we move up the ladder in our lives. With awareness, understanding, grace, and just realizing we have been through some shit that has supremely fucked us up. What can you do about it though? The only choice is to learn from it and move on... this year is going to be full of learning - and I am so excited for what comes from it.

Welcome to 2023 my friends!!! Is it just me or is the energy different for this year? I am a firm believer in new start lines, and this one had me on the blocks ready! Now, I have not accomplished anything this year so far... but I have made it a point to take care of myself... so that is one step ahead of 2022! Hop in, and let me catch you up!

If you have been listening for a minute you know that I am a workaholic, but when I say "I'm working" I am not always typing away on a computer. I am doing everything to make sure my body is a stable work environment. This could mean sleeping the afternoon away, going on a run, chatting with friends, having a glass of wine and a home cooked meal. It could mean so many different things, but what...

From yourself, from others, from anything. Stop, stop accepting mediocracy and calling it a win. It doesn't benefit you, it doesn't make you happy. It makes you okay with being just "okay" and that is truly - not okay.

Being stressed is a way of life, but how you handle it is a totally different conversation. I have been in the hospital once or twice due to my MASSIVE amounts of stress and have a few tips on how I handle it... check it out now!

It is officially the fall season and although I already have my Chestnut Praline Latte in hand; I am only forced to think about how I have changed just as much as the leaves in the past 3 months, and how I could not be more grateful. What season of life are you in?

This is a Podcast where I pride myself on being raw and real... tune in... this catch up is a crazy one...

Out in Los Angeles, it is always "Hi, I am so and so" followed by a quick description of your occupation. What I have noticed is that everyone out here not only introduces themselves like that, but they introduce some amazing people like that. I do not care if you work in a drive through or if you are the COO of apple... who are you?

We are all known for it... we tell ourselves what we want to hear in hopes that one of these days it will actually be true. Some call it manifesting, some call it delusion. I call it lying. At the end of the day you are holding yourself only to these false realities, and you are the only one that can stop it. So, babe... stop lying to yourself.

There are only a few people in this world that will truly understand you, and luckily... I have found 2. Josephine talks about how sometimes it can feel like there is nobody that quite gets why you move the way that you do. This can be something as simple as not understanding why you are so busy or why you always have your laptop. She also goes into how these two people are her closest friends ...

Living as a 21 year old from a small town in Arkansas forces some ups and downs when it comes to just trying to be SOMETHING here. Everyone is looking at you to be big; your parents, your family, your friends, the collective whole town. Let's talk about the pressure of it all, and how sometimes even the smallest things can bring a tear to your eye and change the whole perspective.

I know it has been a minute y'all... and for that I am sorry. However, we are back and better than ever! Here is a catch up episode because life has been life-ing in the best and worst ways recently... How's your past 30 days been?

Josephine not only catches you all the way up on what has been going on in her life, but explains inner peace in a way that is seemingly unheard of. Talking about how she views her inner peace as a true human and wants to protect her at all costs and what that takes from her as well as the people she chooses to surround herself with.

Take a walk down memory lane with the girl that started her adventure on a blog while sitting on a back porch in Arkansas! Going through old blog posts is something that I have a tendency to do when life feels overwhelming or if it is truly treating me really well. It gives me the opportunity to reflect on how far I have come, grown, and learned while reminding me that some things will just nev...

Obviously communication is sitting at the center of every single relationship in your life. However, understanding how they best accept communication and love is only going to strengthen your relationship with that person. In this episode Josephine dives into not only love languages, but dives into how to love someone even if yours does not align with theirs. It is compromise, but truthfully......

This is a re-upload to the last one that for some reason only uploaded 3 minutes.... ugh! But here it is! Welcome to my brain!

Josephine will be the first to tell you that imposter syndrome is the dumbest thing that she struggles with daily. With the inability to truly fix this though process we are stuck in a cycle of overthinking... forcing us to believe that we do not deserve to be where we are today no matter how hard we have worked. Hear Josephine's take on how she accepts success and still struggles with the inva...

Flight or fight is built into all of us, but there is a good versus poor way to handle situations. That being said, we as humans typically find ourselves reacting rather than thinking through the entire situation to ensure that our response is actually us speaking. Whenever reacting, we have a tendency to reflect on the moment later and realize that we over reacted or did not sound like ourselv...

We all have gained something from our childhood.. and unfortunately, a majority of it seems to be trauma. That being said I wanted to do a quick podcast about understanding your attachment style and how this can help you take a deeper look into your relationship health with not only the people around you, but yourself as well!

Josephine works her 9-5 as a coordinator of marketing for a large fashion brand in DTLA. This episode is giving insight into understanding that you will be selling to two customers, and YOU HAVE TO know who these two customers truly are. Not in how they are directly relating to your business, but in how you are going to sell to not just 1 but 2 entire generations of people. 

Josephine is pretty passionate about her day to day job, and this episode is proving this to be true. While pacing her kitchen at 10pm she chats about the lifestyle that is the fashion industry, and how pretty much if you wanna be that girl... you have to be her before you are presented the promotion.... We don't make the rules, but we do have to accept them.  Instagram : @brunch.babes.bossingup

An episode with the realness of forgiving yourself. Being kind to yourself is something that we as humans have a super hard time doing, and I felt the need to talk about it. In light of recent events; I have had a hard time giving myself grace and understanding. This was a conversation I had to have with myself, even though it was hard. 

I love you. Please don't ever forget that.

Learning how to be single after being in relationships a majority of your adolesense could be quite the task, but if you are like me... you do best with a good list. This episode is all about how I developed my 'Single Bucket List' without letting it spiral into revolving around others. What is on your single bucket list?

If I could go back and have a good little chat with my 15 year old self... oooo chile! Although time travel is still hard there are so many things I would have tried to really push through my thick skull as a 15 year old. What would you tell your younger self??  @coffeeandchains

All about the phrase, "Fake it till ya make it." A phrase that is hated by many is loved by our host. Find out why with a quick listen!

We are all learning together, and learning to nurture a relationship between you and you can be really hard! Let's chat about how we can move past these mental blocks and what in the world I do to keep myself together.
