  Professional Babes Ain’t Got Time for the Bullsh*t ‍♀️

  Aug 23, 20261h 29m

  Join Cy & Tessa as they talk all about professionalism. What it means to them and how to cultivate a professional environment for your peace. They were inspired by this quote from the actor Keri Russell published by Variety: “As you get older, you just want to work with nice — maybe ‘nice’ is not the right word,” Russell observes. “Stable. Professional. I don’t need any new best friends. I have great friends. I have a partner. But I just don’t want to put up with people’s bullshit anymore. Figure that shit out. Go do that on your own time. Don’t bring it to work. I just want to work with professionals.” - Keri Russell Researchers call difficult people at work hasslers. Hasslers not only cause harm to the work environment but also to the health and wellbeing of other employees. In a world of hasslers, be a Tessa. Be a Cy. And find your peace through the sh*t storm. Source for “hasslers” can be found here

  Honey, Surround Yourself with Love 😍

  Jul 2, 20261h 28m

  Ever notice how you leave some conversations feeling lighter… and others feeling like someone unplugged your soul? In this episode, we're talking about one of the biggest influences on your growth that most people overlook: the people you surround yourself with. You've probably heard the saying, "You're the average of the five people you spend the most time with." But here's the update: you're also the average of the information you consume every day. Your inner circle and your information circle are constantly shaping your mindset, your confidence, your habits, and even what you believe is possible. This isn't about judging people or cutting everyone out of your life. It's about becoming intentional. Who celebrates your wins? Who reminds you of who you are when you forget? And who leaves you feeling emotionally exhausted every single time? Because here's the truth: joy is contagious. So is negativity. In this conversation, we'll explore how to build an inner circle where everyone's light gets brighter—not dimmer. We'll talk about recognizing energy vampires (yes, they exist), setting healthy boundaries without guilt, and creating relationships that leave everyone feeling more seen, more encouraged, and more alive. Your future isn't built by accident. It's built by the voices you let closest to your heart. So grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and let's make sure the people—and the messages—you invite into your life are helping you rise. Because around here, we don't just protect our peace. We protect our possibility. 🤩

  Episode #32

  ✨ Darling, Remember Who You Were Before the World Tried to Shrink You

  Jun 14, 20261h 21m

  Hey babe, can we talk for a minute? When was the last time you did something just because it made you happy? Not because it was productive. Not because it looked good on LinkedIn. Not because it checked a box or moved you closer to some imaginary finish line. Just because it brought you joy. Somewhere along the way, a lot of us got bamboozled into believing that being a responsible adult meant abandoning the very things that made us feel alive. We traded curiosity for caution, wonder for worry, and play for endless to-do lists. And frankly? That's a terrible deal. In this episode, we invite you to remember who you were before everyone had an opinion about how you should dress, act, love, work, dream, and exist. Before somebody convinced you that being "sensible" was more important than being yourself. We're talking about reconnecting with your inner child—not in a cheesy, kumbaya kind of way—but in a "hold up, that little girl actually knew some things" kind of way. What did she love? What made her lose track of time? What lit her up before the world started telling her to dim her shine? Because here's what we've learned: joy isn't a distraction from your purpose. Joy is often the path back to it! So if you've been waiting for a sign to take the class, start the project, buy the roller skates, dance in your living room, make the art, write the book, plant the garden, or do that thing you've been talking yourself out of for years... Baby, this is your sign 🙌🏽 The world has enough exhausted people trying to be who everyone else wants them to be. What it needs is more people brave and bold enough to be themselves. Let's get back to the good stuff. Your younger self is waiting to play with you. And honey, she's wondering what is taking you so long! ✨💛🎙️
