I’ll Ask My Sister

Prematurely jet lagged

Welcome back to the I’ll Ask My Sister podcast. 
This week Ellen and Mads are tackling the question of change, growth, and breaking free from feeling ‘stuck’. Join them as they share personal stories, practical tips, and plenty of laughs along the way. Whether you're feeling stuck in a rut or just craving a little inspiration, this episode has got you covered.
One of the most common things people feel trapped by is their relationships. Thankfully there’s a simple fix - communication. Mads shares her experience of having open and honest conversations with her ex-boyfriend, emphasising the importance of trusting others to hold their boundaries. Ellen reflects on the significance of creating space for authentic dialogue and navigating transitions in relationships with grace.
Listener Question:The girls respond to a listener who asks for advice on how to get unstuck, from an unhappy relationship, an unfulfilling job, or anything else holding them back. This listener confesses that she’s actually quite good at this and frequently faces this question herself, but she doesn’t know what the secret sauce is so doesn’t know how to respond!  To help, Mads and Ellen share their experiences getting unstuck; breaking down what was easy and what was hard. 
Key Takeaways: 
Embrace Change: Change is a natural part of life, and rather than fearing it, we should embrace it as an opportunity for growth and transformation.
Radical Honesty in Relationships: Open and honest communication is essential in navigating relationships, allowing for authentic dialogue and the creation of healthy boundaries.
Expanded Thinking: Challenge binary thinking patterns and consider multiple options to uncover new possibilities and overcome moments of stagnation.
Trust the Process: Trusting the process of transformation involves releasing past worries in order to make room for new possibilities. 
Embracing New Beginnings: Like the symbolism of the new moon, new beginnings are opportunities for renewal and growth. Embrace change with optimism and remain open to the possibilities it brings.
By incorporating these strategies into your life, you’ll be able to confidently navigate change, cultivate authentic relationships, and overcome moments of stagnation. Most importantly remember to trust the process. It’s not easy but it’s so worth it. 

Crushes, Yonis, Ponzis...Oh my

Welcome back to another episode of the I’ll Ask My Sister podcast! Today, Ellen and Mads are diving deep into the tangled web of family relationships. From childhood squabbles to adult responsibilities, they're here to share their own experiences and offer some nuggets of wisdom along the way.
The girls start off talking about their childhoods and how those early experiences shaped their relationships with family members. It's a journey down memory lane with a side of self-reflection.
Then, they get into the nitty-gritty of communication—or lack thereof—within families. It can be so tough to express yourself when there are years of history and hurt feelings involved, but it’s so important too.
Listener Question:Ellen and Mads respond to a listener's question about drifting apart from family members. Whether it’s because of distance, busy lives, or unresolved issues, it’s an all-too-common issue. The girls have been there themselves, so they’ve got advice on how to bridge that gap and reconnect with loved ones.
Key Takeaways:
Ellen and Mads believe in the power of radical acceptance and taking responsibility for your actions. By acknowledging individual differences and taking ownership of one's actions and emotions, you can sustain meaningful connections.
It’s so important to be open to change within family dynamics. It's not always easy, but sometimes letting go of old patterns and embracing the new can lead to some beautiful transformations.
Remember, no matter how tangled things may seem, there's always a chance for healing and connection. So, grab your phone, send that text, and take that first step towards reconnecting with your loved ones.
