    An Award Winning Podcast
    Mar 3 2025
    Welcome back, friends! In this episode of the Superlatively Yes Podcast, Jennifer and I discuss various topics ranging from awards and personal achievements to fashion insights and conspiracy theories. We get tickled by our personal experiences with award-winning and losing, discuss a trending TikTok personality, and talk about what we are currently watching, including shows like Severance. Also, Jen tells me some very disappointing news about the Publishers Clearing House. We also explore the significance of awards and recognition in both personal and professional contexts. We reflect on our own achievements, the prestige of major awards like the Nobel Peace Prize and the Pulitzer Prize, and the journey of creativity in writing. Of course, we give made-up awards to one another for home management and finding lost items. Most importantly, we discuss the importance of acknowledging personal achievements, embracing flaws, and letting go of unnecessary competition. The conversation also touches on the significance of remembering others, the challenges of consumer culture, and the journey of personal growth and resilience. Thanks so much for hanging out with us. We think YOU deserve an AWARD!

  • The Pressure We Put On Passion

    The Pressure We Put On Passion
    Mar 2 2025

    In this episode, Jennifer and I delve into the multifaceted concept of passion, exploring its role in our lives (beyond the romantic notion often associated with it.) We discuss the pressures society places on individuals to find and monetize their passions, the importance of recognizing that passion can evolve, and the idea of Ikigai as a guiding principle for finding purpose. Also, we talk about nurturing passion without the burden of expectation, allowing it to enrich our lives instead of dictating our career paths. Thanks so much for being here, Tanya

    Takeaways

    • Passion is often misunderstood and can create unnecessary pressure.
    • It's okay for passion to change over time; it doesn't have to be a constant.
    • Many people feel lost when trying to identify their passion, which is normal.
    • Passion should enrich our lives, not dictate our careers.
    • Finding your Ikigai can help clarify your purpose in life.
    • It's important to separate passion from the need to monetize it.
    • Real-life experiences can help uncover what you are passionate about.
    • Nurturing passion can lead to unexpected opportunities and growth.
    • Hard work and honest jobs have intrinsic value, even if they aren't our passion.
    • We should allow ourselves to explore different interests without the pressure of being perfect.

Welcome to Superlatively Yes's seventh season. We are back in this first episode of 2025 and we are so excited to connect with you all and bring some fun, fresh new content. Today I am here with my good friend and yours, Jennifer McCrodden. You know Jen, she's been around since season one. She's an OG. Jasa, our hilarious world traveling friend will be in and out this season. Before you get concerned, everyone and everything is fine. We're fine. We're just like in a super busy season. And this makes a lot of sense to us right now. We're so excited. We're committed to all of you in the SY community, committed to this platform. And we love this opportunity. Okay. Since we last had Jen on the Superlatively Yes podcast, she has become a drum roll please certified life coach. And do you know who has benefited the most from this so far? Me. I love to unwrap topics and conversations with Jen because she has such a wise and unique perspective. I learned something new from her guys every time we have a coaching session or a long lunch at Tacos for Life. Welcome back to the Superlatively, I'm sorry, the Superlatively Yes podcast, Jen. Jen (01:25.08) Thank you, Tanya. And that is so kind of you to say. I have greatly benefited from life coaching as well, and always from having tacos with you and hanging out. So it's a mutual benefit for sure. Tanya N Smith (01:35.535) Tanya N Smith (01:39.867) It really is. Yeah. Okay. So, let's just get right into it. Listen, everybody listen. Jen wrote me this letter and one of our back and forth moments of talking through topics and it absolutely made my day. It made me laugh out loud and that is kind of hard to do. So I want you to hear it. I want you to hear in her sweet voice and then we're going to talk about it right after. Jen (01:44.311) Yes. Jen (02:05.356) All right, a letter to my dear friend Tanya. Dear Tanya, all right, before we begin, a disclaimer. Do you remember when your grandparents used this phrase? If I had a quarter, I think my grandparents said if I had a dime, for every time you, fill in the blank, I'd retire and move away and be rich. Well, sadly, my friend, due to inflation, we are retiring coin money. Tanya N Smith (02:25.235) Mm-hmm. for sure. Jen (02:34.626) And we are only allowed to deal in tens and twenties because I mean, it's spendy out there folks. It's spending. So Tanya, if we had a $10 for every time either one of us has used one of these phrases, we would be podcasting from an island somewhere. And here are the phrases most often used by us. And this is why I can't be in charge. All the time. Here's another one that we use all the time. Tanya N Smith (02:47.667) Mm. Tanya N Smith (02:59.292) every day. Jen (03:03.608) From now on, you are the one making all my decisions. I'm done. I'm done. Why didn't you step in and intervene? Tanya N Smith (03:07.813) every other day. Jen (03:17.476) of For the Love of Nancy Reagan. You let me. Tanya N Smith (03:19.933) For the love. Yes, why did you let me do that? my word. Jen (03:25.42) Yes, and I don't know why Nancy Reagan, that's just who we use. And then here's one of my all-time favorites that we have said multiple times. What would Dolly do? I mean, what would Dolly do? Tanya N Smith (03:36.051) preach ...

    Junie's Party, Chocolate Coke and Little Rock
    Nov 2 2024

    Welcome to Season 6, Episode 159 of The Superlatively Yes Podcast. Jasa and I have been running in circles this week, but unfortunately, not the same circles. We talk about Junie’s over-the-top birthday celebration (which led Quincy to a new dog sitter,) my time doing some in-state work traveling with Shawn, and then I introduce Jasa to an old favorite childhood beverage of mine: Chocolate Coke. I quickly drove through Jasa’s hometown of Bee Branch, Arkansas, yesterday and couldn’t wait to tell her all about it. We recapped The Golden Bachelorette, and I did a little shopping in Little Rock that I was happy to tell Jasa about. We tried out a new intro and outro and can’t wait to hear what you think about it. As always, thanks for spending time with us! We sure do love you! Tanya

    Sweet encouragers, aren’t you so thankful for second chances? Full disclosure; Tanya and I recorded a complete podcast on Tuesday of last week and we trashed it because I forgot how to podcast. Tanya patiently waited for me to calm down for the week and this is what we like to call the “Take Two Podcast”. Excitement dominates from the beginning as Tanya speaks from the joy in her heart over the Razorback victory on Saturday. The whole city cheered and celebrated until the wee hours of the night. Woo Pig! I recap the weekend Leighton and I shared with Point of Grace and the Circle of Friends weekend. We enjoy catching up on TV and movies, as well as, Tanya’s very appropriately timed cute and fun segment. I gush over Prince William, Nicole Kidman, and Bananas Foster dessert. The dogs make an appearance as we discuss their varied love languages.

    Thank you for joining our conversation today as we kick off season 6 with a trip to Denver, some quick wardrobe changes, and more hilarious "Tails From the Dog Park." Tanya loved her trip to Denver and told all about the details and Jasa filled us in on what we didn't want to know about food. It was a fun reunion and, of course, way too long, per usual. But all in good, clean fun. We love you - thanks for hanging out here! Tanya
