Dating in today’s day & age is apparently tough (we’ve been out of the game for a few years, but if it’s still like what we went through, then yes it’s tough). Everyone has “games” they play & “rules” they follow. We figured it was about time we bring some male perspective into this topic. Listen in to hear Mel's husband, Sam, share his thoughts & tips about dating in today's world!

WOW! We can’t believe it! 1 whole year of Poise in the Noise! Woo hoo! First & foremost, THANK YOU for listening - we couldn’t & wouldn’t be doing this if it weren’t for all our listeners. Doing anything for a year is a big deal. We are so grateful for all of you, proud of what we’ve accomplished in a year & excited for what the future holds! Join us while we take a walk down memory lane, reminiscing on how it all started, where we are today, our fav moments from year 1 & some embarrassing bloopers!

“Discernment” is thrown around like a buzz word, especially in Catholic circles, to the point where sometimes people say they are “discerning” something that makes no sense to discern! It’s also overused in these same circles….this is where we believe a lot of the “noise” surrounding this topic comes from. Some people also, mistakenly, conflate & use the word “discernment” in lieu of “decision”/”decision making” interchangeably even though they are different at their cores. Let's dive in to the definition of discernment & how to do it with poise!

Equipoise - an equal distribution of weight; even balance; equilibrium. The word “balance” is thrown around like confetti these days. The word is overused, yet not truly lived out. A lot of noise has been created about “work-life balance”, “balancing it all”, “how to find/create/maintain a balanced life”, etc. with not much to show for it–we live in a society that’s the most stressed out, unhealthy, worn out, & tired it’s ever been! We want to turn the tide & introduce what we think is a better & healthier concept – equipoise!!!

Let’s have some real-talk about the overlap & integration of motherhood & entrepreneurship/work/dreams. One of the biggest lies society tells women is that we can have either babies or dreams, but not both….You CAN do both - We are living proof of this! It is hard, but it is SO worth it! Having kids & pursuing your dreams are not separate, distinct, or mutually exclusive. In fact, we wholeheartedly believe that by pursuing your family dreams (getting married, being open to life, having kids, etc.) you will further deepen your understanding of your personal & entrepreneurial dreams.

“Babies don’t keep us from our dreams. Babies & dreams always go together. They always have & they always will.” - Leah Darrow

With every New Years Day, there seems to come noise & pressure about how we’re all supposed to make it the “best year yet.” There’s always been the cliches “I’m going to lose this much weight” & “I’m finally going to get that gym membership/start that diet” etc. But honestly, it seems that in our culture now, there’s so much more that people are trying to focus on. There are different, simpler, better versions of being intentional about the new year than bombarding ourselves with words, goals & to-do lists. Today, we’re talking about breaking the mold on the “traditional” forms of entering the new year & introducing something different because our wish for you is that you enter the new year with poise!
