Our Own Version of Hot Girl Summer–17 Minute Voice Notes, Decoding Response Styles, Black Cats & Golden Retrievers with Christina Montalvo
Christina Montalvo is back with the most random and fun crossover we've done in awhile! Grab a coffee, pull up a seat, and let's talk about the silly and deep things that have been the subject of our 17 minute voice notes all summer long!
On this episode we talk about:
- A recap of our summer! I had a summer renaissance, Christina got a new job, and we both had a our own version of a hot girl summer.
- Our own explorations of personal style and what makes us feel hot.
- How alone time gives us time to recharge & reconnect with ourselves.
- Why we LOVE voice messaging our friends.
- The ways we each set boundaries around our phone notifications & understanding other people's response styles.
- Black cat & golden retrievers in relationships & friendships (can you guess which ones we are?)
- Realizations we've had as we've made our own career shifts.
- How we feel about aging + our various roles in our lives.
- Some very deep thoughts around loss, relationships, self-worth, and external validation.
- Some very random thoughts about traffic and chin hairs.
- So many other good things!
