California Dreamin'

Monthly Topic: BIG DREAMS

Jackie and Stacey are taking a little detour in the podcast this month. The topic is BIG DREAMS. Rather than speak generally about DREAMS (not the zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz or REM type :), the girls discuss a very specific big dream of Jackie's. Wonder what it is?!? Listen in to find out!

CLICK HERE!

Do YOU have a BIG DREAM? If you knew you could not fail, what would you set out to do? What problem in the world would you solve with your DREAM? We want to know! Send us a note to thejackieandstaceyshow@gmail.com or @thejackieandstaceyshow on Instagram/Twitter/Facebook.

Comfort Zones INTERVIEW with Abe Lincoln!

Monthly Topic: COMFORT ZONES 

Hello Friends! This month we are interviewing Jackie's longtime friend Abe Lincoln... again! We had technical difficulties the first time we attempted a remote interview, so we just met up in person this time to be sure we got it :)

Abe and his dear wife have un-schooled their children, traveled the country together... and lived to tell the tales to Jackie & Stacey! Listen in to hear how Abe has lived out a consistent strategy to say yes first, then figure out the details later. His COMFORT ZONE is pretty big - but that it takes time and intention to be so. We hope you are as thrilled to listen as we were to record this excellent interview.

LISTEN HERE :)

Don't forget to fill us in! How is your COMFORT ZONE being stretched this month? Conversely, have you given yourself permission to just bask in some COMFORT to recharge? We want to know! Send us your photo, story, or question to thejackieandstaceyshow@gmail.com, #jackieandstacey, @thejackieandstaceyshow.

New month / New Topic: COMFORT ZONES

Happy October!

Ahhh, comfort: cozy, easy, yummy... Are you picturing a blanky? A latte? Lounging in a hammock on a white sand beach sipping your favorite cocktail with the warm sun making you all sleepy and relaxed...

(Stacey is going to take a nap now)

J/K! Comfort is wonderful... for a little while. Join Jackie and Stacey in Episode 57 to hear how your Comfort Zone is pretty different that just being comfy. Sometime we get a little stagnant - and comfort can mean just doing the minimum to get by. It will be no surprise to you that this can be easy, but mediocre - and you may just be feeling a little uninspired. Have no fear! Jackie and Stacey will encourage you to do a little step (your Vaya Con Dios) to stretch your Comfort Zone.

Together, lets go from just surviving to learning and growing!

What did you think? Were you a teensy bit inspired by this episode? If so, we would LOVE to hear about it! Tweet us! Hashtag #thejackieandstaceyshow! Send us an email thejackieandstaceyshow@gmail.com! Visit our website jackieandstacey.com !

Episode 0056: Interview with Amy Cornelsen!

Join us for a super encouraging interview with the effervescent Amy Cornelsen. Pick up some super fun, and very practical, tips on building your own CONFIDENCE levels. What is "the power of YET"? How can you start choosing to use some simple physical stances to #practiceatCONFIDENCE? When is the best time to hold a funeral?

Sound intriguing? We sure think so!

Click HERE to listen to the Interview!

We want to hear how you are Vaya Con Dios - ing after hearing from Amy, Jackie and Stacey. Give us a shout out @thejackieandstaceyshow on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter! We would love to hear from you!!

September's Topic: CONFIDENCE!

Thanks for tuning in to episode 52 of The Jackie and Stacey Show! Starting today, we are delving into a new topic for the month of September - CONFIDENCE! This is perhaps a great time to remind you, our dear listeners, that we are by NO MEANS experts in any of these topics. What we are experts at is talking through stuff we are thinking about.

This month we are thinking a lot about how CONFIDENCE influences our lives. As usual, we start by looking at our monthly topic through the lens of SELF. How do we get confidence? Do we fake it till we make it? What if we don't have the CONFIDENCE to even fake it??? AHHH! Don't you worry, just listen in, and participate in our Vaya Con Dios!

As always, we would love to connect with you in some way. Did you listen in? Did you do the Vaya Con Dios?! If so, give us a shoutout @thejackieandstaceyshow . Maybe even send us a little story of how CONFIDENCE (or lack of it?) is impacting your life - thejackieandstaceyshow@gmail.com

The Man, The Myth, The Legend

Tune in to the funniest interview yet!

Jackie and Stacey interview local author Brian Courrejou on the topic of STORYTELLING. Not only does Brian's resume include two children's books:
No Bees Please!
and
More Bees Please!
...
but he also works for the Candid Camera Corporation!

We hope you enjoy our conversation about storytelling, creative outlets, and where Brian got the idea for his children's books. Hint: it has something to do with a FEAR of bees! Join us as we laugh, cry, and talk about our recently discovered shared dream of being Saturday Night Live cast members.

As always, our episode ends with a small challenge that we call a Vaya Con Dios. Brian will issue this one, and we want to know if you played along! Be sure to send us a message, or tag us on your social media: @thejackieandstaceyshow #vayacondios

Monthly Topic: STORYTELLING

STORYTELLING is such a classic community builder. Jackie and Stacey talk about how tall tales, wives tales, fables, myths, and creepy stories are woven throughout the histories of all communities world wide. Your grandma may have taught you to tell the truth through the story of the boy who cried wolf. Your neighbor may pass a lil' judgement your way because they think things "should" be done a certain way - based on the stories they have been told through cultural stories. This topic of STORYTELLING gets a personal touch when Stacey tells of a famous "Elmer" in her childhood. Join us!

As always, we super want to hear from you. Did you listen in? Did you do the Vaya Con Dios?! If so, give us a shoutout @thejackieandstaceyshow . Maybe even send us a STORY of your very own - thejackieandstaceyshow@gmail.com

Episode 49: How does STORYTELLING impact how we show up with our close people?

Monthly Topic: STORYTELLING

Let's keep talking about STORYTELLING! Episode 49 is allll focused on how the stories we tell impact our closest relationships. Join Jackie and Stacey as they discuss how the perspectives we present in our STORYTELLING can have gigantic impact on these people we hold dear. What a difference a little perspective shift can have in our STORYTELLING.

As always, we super want to hear from you. Did you listen in? Did you do the Vaya Con Dios?! If so, give us a shoutout @thejackieandstaceyshow .

How does STORYTELLING impact your faith?

Monthly Topic: STORYTELLING

Join Jackie and Stacey in Episode 48 of The Jackie and Stacey Show! We continue our discussion on STORYTELLING - this time looking at it through the lens of faith! Do the stories we hear and tell impact our spirituality? Jackie and Stacey talk about how Jesus was quite the storyteller. Christian people call these stories "parables". Stacey calls them a freaking kick in the butt. Funny how God works in and through us with STORYTELLING.

As always, we super want to hear from you. Did you listen in? Did you do the Vaya Con Dios?! If so, give us a shoutout @thejackieandstaceyshow.

New Monthly Topic: Storytelling

New Monthly Topic: STORYTELLING

In Episode 47 of The Jackie and Stacey Show, we discuss STORYTELLING! Jackie seems to think she is not a storyteller. However, you can see that this episode is a little long... because Jackie told a long story! Turns out we all have stories: ones that we tell, ones we keep inside, and others that we tell ourselves about our interactions in the world. Totally fascinating. Join us as we talk and discover the impact of these stories within ourselves.

Vaya con Dios!

Your one little action is to…

Think of a time in your life when you switched the story you were telling yourself and how it impacted your reality ~ or ~ Look at the story you are currently telling yourself about who you are or about an interaction you are having. Pay attention to that story. 

As always, we super want to hear from you. Did you listen in? Did you do the Vaya Con Dios?! If so, give us a shoutout @thejackieandstaceyshow .

The Story of My Life by One Direction 

How did it go??

NEW/MONTHLY topic: CREATIVITY

Starting this month, we are ssslllooooowing our roll. Due to some new listener feedback, the amount of episodes we have published was a little intimidating! Our slower roll is going to look like this: instead of a new topic every week, we are going to switch to a new topic each month. I guess you could say we are practicing being CREATIVE in our approach to podcasting?! 

Perfect segue!

In Episode 46 of The Jackie and Stacey Show, we discuss how we are CREATIVELY making a few changes around here! You gave us feedback, and we are listening:

First, the sound on this slapstick podcast sure ain't perfect. We promised you that we live like we talk: try now, and fix later! Well, it is later. Today we tried out a great sound booth - Stacey's closet. How did it work?

Second, we got CREATIVE by both recording the audio for this podcast AND going Facebook LIVE at the same time. Do we make any sense? Or did we refer to visual things too much?

Lastly, this month was our slower roll out of each topic/lens. Did you like it? We did! This was a great month for us to slow down our recording. We hope you enjoyed the break as much as we did.

As always, thank you for listening in, and thank you for practicing at life with us!

XOXO, Jackie and Stacey

                                        

Y'all! To be honest...This topic did not appeal at all when we started on it. I just am not initially drawn to the idea of creativity. But after we started the conversation, I LOVED it!!! And I have learned so much already.

This week we discuss creativity in our closest relationships...How do the two impact each other, if at all?!

Stacey talks about how creativity is really problem-solving, open-mindedness, and life-giving. Wha?!?! Who knew?

And I (Jackie) talk about a parenting philosophy I probably learned from one of you (If so, remind me!) that has really made a difference in the life of our family.

Listen in to hear about how creativity requires vulnerability, which is essential for growth in our closest relationships. Good, good stuff.

Hope to see you over on one of the many platforms that carry our show now.

Woop woop! Happy Monday!

Interview with Heather Stewart

Interview with Heidi Daniels

Join us for Episode 0036 of The Jackie and Stacey Show, as we interview the absolutely effervescent Heidi Daniels!

Heidi is a gal with a penchant for daily HABITS. Her processes are incredibly detailed - having been honed to her personal style for years. Just as Jackie and Stacey discuss in Episode 32, small daily HABITS, implemented over time, can have a gigantic positive impact. Heidi shares her tips, tricks, and just what works for her. She also happens to be pretty dang funny and super duper honest along the way; two things that are super endearing to us!

Heidi is a realtor with Century 21 in Monterey County, California. She has a husband named Joe, three very cool grown children, and even some gorgeous (if talkative!) grandchildren. She manages her time, her family, her work and her money effectively through her daily HABITS. Listen in to hear how we can all learn from her successful habits.
