Pets are the new kids. While we may choose them, often it feels like they chose us. Today’s guest says “If we listen to pets, we don’t have to suffer.” And Miranda Alcott, animal communications counselor, is helping us to do through her HarmoniousListening™ approach that combines her gifts of non-verbal communication, conscious intuitive connection, and deep understanding. Whether you believe this type of communication is possible, all I can say is that everything she told me rang true. She shares the lessons we can learn from our animals, utilizing our skills of nonverbal communication, and connecting more deeply with our companions.Resources:<ul><li>Learn more at <a href="https://mirandaalcott.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mirandaalcott.com</a></li><li>Follow Miranda on IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mirandaalcott/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mirandaalcott</a></li><li>Visit <a href="https://betterhelp.com/annie" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BetterHelp.com/annie</a> to get 10% off your first month of online therapy</li><li>Follow + DM us: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/offtherecordwithyou/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@offtherecordwithyou</a> + <a href="http://instagram.com/skinowl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@skinowl</a></li><li>Tag Us: #offtherecordpod&nbsp;</li><li>Shop SkinOwl: <a href="https://www.skinowl.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">skinowl.com</a></li><li>Want to try SkinOwl skincare?

There’s nothing like running a business to reveal the deepest core of who you are. This episode, for example, started with the tease of a new SkinOwl product—the first in over two years. But what starts with business quickly leads to talking about the trajectory of running a business, making a conscious effort to put yourself back into the world after bunkering down, and creating a life that works for you.Resources:<ul><li>Follow + DM us: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/offtherecordwithyou/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@offtherecordwithyou</a> + <a href="http://instagram.com/skinowl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@skinowl</a></li><li>Tag Us: #offtherecordpod&nbsp;</li><li>Shop SkinOwl: <a href="https://www.skinowl.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">skinowl.com</a></li><li>Want to try SkinOwl skincare?

210. You Can Save The Planet with Ashlee Piper

It’s time to get clear on your boundaries once and for all. We all know how important boundaries are, right? It feels like we’ve been having the discussion for decades. And yet, who has actually taken the time to define what they are—and most importantly, hold them strong in our daily lives? Especially as we head into holidays, which are filled with friends and family and each of them making demands on you and your time, all while trying to take a vacation and relax and enjoy the holidays yourself. It’s a whole thing. We’re going to talk about why setting boundaries is so challenging, why you deserve to do it anyway, and how to find clarity once and for all on where those lines lie.Resources:<ul><li>Go to <a href="https://betterhelp.com/annie" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">betterhelp.com/annie</a> and get 10% off your first month</li><li>Follow + DM us: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/offtherecordwithyou/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@offtherecordwithyou</a> + <a href="http://instagram.com/skinowl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@skinowl</a></li><li>Tag Us: #offtherecordpod&nbsp;</li><li>Shop SkinOwl: <a href="https://www.skinowl.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">skinowl.com</a></li><li>Want to try SkinOwl skincare?

209. Setting Boundaries and Sticking To Them with Annie Tevelin

On the surface, it may seem you and your partner put in equal parts effort when it comes to the home, relationship, and parenting. But underneath all the tangible to-dos lives an invisible emotional layer of emotional labor. There’s a level of exhaustion brought on by the constant, unrelenting consideration of others that women are so familiar with. It’s thanks to Eve Rodsky that I’m even aware of this phenomenon, let alone have the vocabulary to express it. She’s out on a mission to change 21st-century relationships by giving a solution to an age-old problem: The uneven domestic and childcare burden carried mostly by women. She turned a personal breakdown into the catalyst for change that led to one profound question: What if we treated our homes as our most important organization? Her NYT bestselling book Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live) is a system to help couples rebalance the burden and reimagine their relationships. She gives us the magic formula for “fair play” in the home and learning to see the undervalued thought work that goes behind the obvious execution.Resources:<ul><li>Learn more at <a href="https://www.everodsky.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">everodsky.com</a> and <a href="https://www.fairplaylife.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">fairplaylife.com</a></li><li>Follow Eve on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/everodsky/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@everodsky</a></li><li>Visit <a href="http://betterhelp.com/annie" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">betterhelp.com/annie</a> to get 10% off your first month</li><li>Follow + DM us: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/offtherecordwithyou/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@offtherecordwithyou</a> + <a href="http://instagram.com/skinowl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@skinowl</a></li><li>Tag Us: #offtherecordpod&nbsp;</li><li>Shop SkinOwl: <a href="https://www.skinowl.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">skinowl.com</a></li><li>Want to try SkinOwl skincare?
