Being the Already Friends podcast, it’s only fitting to have an episode dedicated entirely to making friends and maintaining your friendships. Making friends as an adult can feel challenging, and it may seem like everyone else already has their “bestie” or their friend group.

Allison invited her friend Alejandra Dueñas to help answer questions that our community has asked us! Alejandra is a spiritual life coach and mentor who helps women heal their trauma, embody their fullest expression, and let go of the need to control in order to live a more fulfilling life. We knew she would have incredibly insightful answers to your questions and wow - her advice did not disappoint.

We are thrilled to welcome Julie Valentina, a 21-year-old travel filmmaker from Germany who gets paid to travel the world. She has traveled to over 37 countries for projects with tourism boards, travel brands, music artists on tour, and more.

As the first day of summer is just around the corner, we thought it would be timely and fun to share our summer bucket lists with you!

We share some of our favorite practices and tips that we lean on when the going gets rough and ways to prioritize your personal well-being before all the demands around you.

In this episode, the girls are together in person so listener’s get a solid catch up segment about Ceara’s upcoming road trip and Allison’s second hand shop. Then we dive into sharing about the people, places, and things that are currently lighting up our inner essence, fueling our creativity and encouraging us to romanticize everyday.

In this episode, we are together in person! Ceara is in Omaha for the week so the girls are hanging out, getting work done and meeting up with other friends. We answer listener’s questions about discouraging job hunts, how much to prepare for a long backpacking trip and our favorite methods for journaling and organization.

With Allison’s two years coming up and the growing sober-curious movement, we’re finally seeing more people openly speak up about their relationships with alcohol, which we think is really encouraging for people who need to hear those messages.

In this episode, we catch up on our personal lives and share some exciting updates. Allison has finally taken up boxing after being interested in it for quite some time and her Airbnb unit is coming along - hopefully launching soon, so stay tuned for details on that! Ceara recently went on a brand trip to Branson and brought her friend Hannia. They had a fun time embracing what Ceara is officially coining as ‘Camp Tourism.’

We answer your questions about navigating an alcohol-free lifestyle with friends who still drink often, how to maintain a social life once you’ve entered adulthood and have a lot of responsibilities, ways to avoid gossiping, creating a healthy relationship with food and what to do when you want to change careers but have already invested a lot into your current industry.

We talk about our favorite ways to take care of ourselves, how we stick to healthy habits when life gets busy, how to navigate friendships when you no longer live the same lifestyle, our thoughts on non-hallucinogenic mushroom extracts, how to balance alone time when you live with a roommate or partner and how to hold yourself accountable.
