51. how to optimize your time for more fulfillment and joy
Sasha shares her first solocast with Recalibrate! In a productivity and efficiency driven society, it's hard not to view everything we do in terms of how "valuable" it is. We aren't people anymore: we have become personal projects. So what do we do? How do we stay mindful about the things we are doing and how we are doing them? Let's start to optimize for our fullest joy and get real about how we are sequencing and prioritizing things. Tune in to hear Sasha discuss:
Creating urgency where it does not need to exist
Holding yourself accountable for knowing why you are doing the things you’re doing
Doing a joy audit
Sequencing and prioritizing based on your values
Alleviating guilt, stress, and internal conflict by prioritizing your to-do list in alignment with your values
You are on your own timeline to greatness
Creating a “to-feel” list, not a “to-do” list
You are the only one that’s controlling your own freedom
Optimizing for your full joy
Above all else, I want nothing more than for you to experience full joy in all the things you invest your heart and soul into.
With love,
Sasha

46. to drink or not to drink? let’s talk about alcohol.
In this episode, Jacey and Sasha share our personal relationships with alcohol and journey towards drinking less. We answer questions like:
“What do you do on weekends?”
“Will I lose my friends if I stop drinking?”
“I have social anxiety and can’t go out without alcohol. What do I do?”
“Do I have to be fully sober, forever?”
We’ve also got the science (thanks Andrew Huberman) to back up the long term effects of drinking on your health, stress levels, mood, and overall well-being. Our aim in this conversation is not to demonize alcohol. Instead, we hope to encourage you to consciously choose if and how alcohol shows up in your life, rather than opting into the mainstream.
Tune in to hear us discuss:
Our journeys re-evaluating our drinking habits
Consciously choosing your relationship with alcohol
Going out sober
The sobriety label
Building the life you love not running from the life you have
Long-term effects of alcohol on stress and mood
Overemphasizing the place alcohol has in your life and friendships
Drinking is not a personality trait
Being the great experimenter
And more!
