I Do, We Do

Turn-down. Brush off. Nix. No matter how you say it, rejection is never a fun thing to experience. Sometimes you can control it and other times you cannot.

Ego is a bad word and we are dedicating an entire episode to it. We recently noticed others disguising their self-serving actions as acts of a servant leader. We challenged ourselves to look inward and determine how our egos affect us. In this episode, we discuss what our ugly egos look like, the ways it affects our relationship, and how it impacts others and our leadership. Plus for some reason, Billy snorts in the middle of this episode. Music “Sunny” by Bensound.com.

We talk a lot about goals, action, and achievement on this podcast. But we are human. There are things that hold us back from being our best selves. Rather than pointing the finger at external obstacles, we are looking inwards and sharing the ways we hold ourselves back. There is lots of vulnerability in this episode.

We put together our best plan ever for 2019. We got off to a great start crossing off action items for our most important goals. We were holding each other accountable. We were communicating.

In this episode, we do a re-do of one of our most popular episodes. Goal Setting! We share why we set goals and how. We believe setting goals together ensures that we are always growing together rather than apart. Billy has a long history with goal setting.

Mental-health day or self-care? We millennials love to develop our own phrases for everything. Either way you call it, it is something we practice regularly. In this episode, we discuss what self care is and what it isn't, what we do separately to practice self-care,  and what we do together to practice what we call "together care."

We just celebrated International Women's Day, so we're approaching everyone's favorite topic… gender norms. Before we met, there’s so many norms we fought. But once we got married, we took this to another level. We love identifying as a modern couple, but we are not perfect. In this episode, we share our opinions on gender norms, identify the norms we fight, and the ones we fall right in to. Music “Sunny” by Bensound.com.

We’re revisiting the Enneagram! The ever popular Enneagram is back on our minds but we’re focusing on what it's like to work with a Type 8 (Billy) and a Type 2 (Ashley).

It’s Valentine’s Day week and we thought it was about time for us to share our love story with you. Isn’t it crazy that it took us 31 episodes to share this story?

In episode 30 of the I Do, We Do podcast, we dig deeper into Collaboration.

We share why and how we collab with each other and of course share some of the challenges. We also discuss some collab killers that can kill any team. Music “Sunny” by Bensound.com.
