40. {GUEST} Therapy Chat with Alex Miller
This week we are chatting with one of our besties, Alex Miller! Alex is a Licensed professional counselor. She has her Bachelors degree in psychology and her masters degree in clinical psychology. It was amazing getting to pick her brain about therapy!
We are all about keeping it real - and as such, we believe that mental health is SO important. On this episode, Alex talks about the basics of therapy including how to get started, what to expect & the different types of therapy.
We are SO excited to share her knowledge with you this week!

38. {RELATIONSHIP} Our take on "Gender Roles" and sharing responsibilites with our Significant Other
This week we are chatting about our relationships with our significant others- specifically how we tackle splitting up chores and different everyday responsibilities. Thankfully, we feel the traditional "gender roles" are changing with our generation, and it's so much more likely for both partners to share equal responisibilities!! (Can we get a HELL YEAH!)
We love hearing from you!! So please DMs us at all_the_reals with any feedback or even just to share a story of you and your SO if you can relate!!

36. {GUEST} Benefits of House Plants w/ Kait Makers
This week on allll the reals, we are talking with store owner & house plant whisperer, Kait Makers! Kait owns the cutest plant shop in downtown Frederick and we had so much fun picking her brain on all things "plants"!
Kait opened her store during the pandemic after realizing how much joy she was getting out of caring for her own plants. Not only does she give us tips on how to be a plant mom if you typically kill anything green, but she also brings a great perspective of how plants can really help your mental health!
We vibed V hard with Kait, so this one is a fun one! Her free spirit & dry humor will keep you engaged from mimosa milkshake (start) to blackout college nights (end) of this episode! ;)

34. {RELATIONSHIP} Love yo-self
May is Mental Health Awareness month, so we thought it would be a perfect time to have our relationship episode about loving YOURSELF!
We are constantly taught how to treat others, how to be there for others and how to respect others, but if you think about it, society doesn't talk much about how to do all of those things for yourself. In fact, it often comes off "cocky" or "Arrogant" when people are self confident. We are speaking up so that we can get to a place of self-love normalcy.
Tune in this week to hear about our favorite ways to get out of a funk (which we can all relate to with this past year!), how to get into the self-love mindset and a little exercise where we talk about our favorite qualities about ourselves. Hopefully it can inspire YOU to do the same!
So girl, love YO SELF!
