Unreasonable expectations! We all got 'em. Sometimes we expect too much of ourselves, sometimes we place all those expectations on others, sometimes our expectations create limiting beliefs and sometimes we get caught up doing a little of all of them! Whatever “expectation” jam you are in, don’t worry Clarity Fam, because in this week's episode we …

We are dropping the facts this week on Clarity Cafe! Starting with this little doozie…that nothing, and we mean NOTHING, is more important than your health Fam! Unfortunately for us… it’s usually the thing we neglect the most… ugh, right? Well, it’s a good job we are rolling up this week to give you a special promotion, to appoint you as CEO of you…

An episode worthy of itself this week Clarity Fam. In this poignant and personal episode, we get really deep on the subject of our self-worth and how if we don't recalibrate our self-worth compass away from seeking external validation, then we will never feel 100% whole. Acknowledging it's a lifelong practice to master feeling worthy…that goes for …

But to make it a little bit more digestible and actionable for you, we are going to focus on one small (but super important!!!) piece of it in this episode. The very …

What better way to jump into Spring AND Season 5 than taking a minute to dig in and declutter our lives first!!!! We don't mean declutter in the literal sense, like cleaning out your car or closet; we mean the important stuff, the oh-so juicy mental and emotional feels!? In much the same way, decluttering mentally and emotionally allows us to let g…

We talked about small and medium baggage in Season 1 and now, true to our promise, we are finally ready to take on the big mama of baggage in Season 4! Let’s face it, baggage is scary and the bigger stuff is even scarier. Sometimes it’s invisible, but sometimes, when we least expect it, we look back in our rearview mirror and it's right there block…

We all know the saying “be the change you wish to see in the world,” right? And this week, that’s what we’re all about! You don’t need to be a superhuman or a celebrity to become an activist for change. It doesn't even necessarily require a ton of time or money...none of that. All it takes is a human who cares enough to see a brighter and more posi…

Perspective & Priorities Fam. Yup, we are throwing out the double “P’s” in this useful little episode that is all about how we can be more “large and in charge” of the (unreasonable?!?) requests being thrown at us on the regular. It’s a fact that life can get a bit overwhelming sometimes, and when we think we've finally gotten stuff sorted…someone …

We seem to have lots to say about things we don’t do so well, but how often do we stop, acknowledge, and compliment ourselves and each other for the things we are doing well? Sadly, it's probably not as often as it should be. No worries tho Fam, that's exactly why we have dedicated this episode to taking the time to inventory and acknowledge the th…

Fam, we are gonna have ourselves a little sip of sunshine on the topic of modeling boundaries this week. In this convo, we are going to focus on how to become aware of and reset our internal dialogs about boundaries, and re-parent our inner child to help create, improve and repair boundaries to be more kind and loving to ourselves.

This week starts the year off right as we chat about how we can all cultivate a brand new mindset for the new year! In a nutshell, it's all about knowing what voices we let dominate in our heads then inviting different perspectives, new ideas and fresh co…

Have you ever thought about which voice in your mind you give the microphone to? We all have a cacophony of voices in our brain fighting to be heard and acknowledged, but have you ever wondered which ones are the most dominant? Is it that 5-year-old who’s loud and opinionated, but maybe lacks the perspective of someone older and more experienced? I…

In this episode, Cali and Barb chat about what it means to be a good listener, and then they dive into ways to improve our listening skills. Spoiler alert! The first step involves learning how to truly listen to ourselves. Underneath all of the static and noise of our busy minds are our true thoughts and feelings. Once we learn how to listen to tha…

Many of us tell each other how terrible we are at saying goodbye. We avoid it. We rush through it. We choke down any emotions that begin to gurgle up. But why? Why are we so bad as a society at saying goodbye? And how can we more directly honor that ending moment—whether it’s a great neighbor who’s moving away, our last day at a job, or a relations…

Your friend has a problem. A real problem. And you’ve gone through the exact same thing! Every single cell in your body wants to tell them what they should do, how they should handle it, and how they can avoid the mistakes you made. After all, they’re your friend and you want to help. The intention is sooo good. But… and there is a but… sometimes y…

Are making decisions challenging for you? Even for those of us who consider ourselves to be swift decision makers, sometimes we stall out on a particular choice due to anxiety, confusion, and stress. In this episode, Barb and Cali guide us through ways to get some perspective on why making some decisions leave us so rattled. If we can take a step b…

Everyone has their own style of communication. For some who have been diagnosed with ADHD, like Cali herself, communication—externally and internally—does not follow social norms. Many of us have a one-lane mental highway when we communicate, allowing us to open a topic, discuss it, and then close it out before we jump into an entirely new subject.…

Some episodes ago, clarity sisters Barb and Cali gave us thoughtful advice on asking for help. In this episode, they take the topic a step further by diving into productive ways of receiving help.

Ever notice how the vibe we put out there can spread like the game of telephone through our home or workplace? No matter our emotion—whether it’s stress, anger, or happiness—our mindset can not only influence other people’s emotional state, it can also boomerang right back to us. In other words, the vibe we send out, is the vibe we get back. Come f…

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been in a situation where your expectations led you down a path of disappointment. We can see all of the hands from here! We’ve all been there. Whether it’s expectations we have of ourselves, of certain relationships, or of certain situations. Expectations can be sneaky too in that we’re not always even conscious of h…

In this episode, Barb and Cali venture into a topic that they both share a passion for—connecting to their intuition. As Cali explains, connecting with your intuition is a practice, not a one-time goal. This is a mighty skill that can be learned and cultivated once you figure out how to quiet those noisy thoughts, and immerse yourself in that deep …

In this final episode of Season Two, Cali and Barb dig into the juicy topic of picking a partner that raises you up rather than brings you down.

If you’re currently in a relationship, how …

Moment of truth: Do you shrink a little bit when someone compliments you? Do you deflect and compliment them right back? Do you clam up and shutter from those seconds in the spotlight? We hear you. In this episode, Cali and Barb, with a little help from their friend Will (who also happens to be co-host on A Little Bit of Chill Podcast), address the…

Fiercely independent. Does that describe you? If you’re out there nodding your head in agreement then this episode is particularly important. We all seem to celebrate this notion of being totally self-reliant, but asking for and receiving help when you need it is also worthy of praise. Cali and Barb share their personal stories of how they came to …

Be honest, are you “shoulding” yourself? Are you like many of us who spend way too much time telling ourselves what we should do rather than what we authentically want to do. We can get a case of the “shoulds” about everything, from minor choices— “I should wear this boring outfit over the one that I really love (heart emoji) because it’s more age-…

In this episode, Cali and Barb introduce us to the metaphor of being a frog in a pot of hot soup. If we’re metaphorically thrown into a pot of boiling soup, we’re going to leap out of there immediately to protect ourselves. But if we start off in a broth that’s at a comfortable temperature and then is gradually brought to a boil, we might not reali…

Was your sugar detox crushed by the weight of your cravings for late night donuts (again!)? Instead of chastising your lack of willpower, treat yourself to an Accountability Buddy. If you’ve set a goal for yourself, having a safe, trustworthy partner who can serve as your very own nonjudgmental mirror can be unbelievably helpful. Cali and Barb dig …

If you ever find yourself routinely triggered by something, a…

Now that Episode 15 has got us thinking and talking about our communities, it’s only natural we segue into how we’re communicating with the people around us. Or as Barb and Cali put it, “It’s not what you’re saying, it’s how.” Are you stressed out? Feeling triggered? We’ve got news for you, it’s no secret. Our emotional state easily seeps into our …

It’s Season 2 ya’ll! It’s so good to be back with Barb and Cali for a little more Clarity. This season’s themes will be Community, Communication, Healing and Mindset. First up for Barb and Cali is community. As we get older, our community can turn into a kind of hodge-podge collection of people from our past. Our family, friends from our college da…

Feeling overwhelmed? The pace of life isn’t always at a speed we can handle, and when too much gets piled on our plate, or too many issues arise at once, it’s easy to succumb to the paralysis and anxiety that comes with feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Cali and Barb guide us through how to take our anxiety off the table so we can take a step back a…

In this episode, Cali and Barb guide you into giving yourself the ultimate gift—that of self-love and acceptance. We’re all so used to judging everything around us, and saving the most potent criticism for ourselves. These judgy gymnastics lead us into an ever-repeating loop of negativity, shame, guilt, and denial. But in Cali and Barb’s thoughtful…
