Conquering the Gym Alone

Hey ladies!! Ashley’s gym content has been inspiring me to start my gym journey. My question is if you have any tips for going to the gym alone? My boyfriend and friends schedules wouldn’t align to the times I would anticipate going. Since I also overthink & may be going at a busy time, what would you do if the singular machine you wanted to use (ex stair master) was being occupied? Do I just instantly leave lol? Any advice would make this new journey better! PS I do plan on listening to the pod at the gym so I guess I wouldn’t be entirely alone <3

More about your thyroid

Taryne, did you know you had thyroid issues before finding out you had thyroid cancer. Also, what dose of levothyroxine are you on? (If you are on medication).

Is there a dating app algorithm?

Hello my favorite podcast hosts!! I have been single for... quite some time... and I think it's time for my apps to get a refresh. Is there a particular algorithm for how you make your profiles? Like should the first picture be a selfie? With friends? Outdoors? Indoors? How much of the profile do I make funny vs. serious? Is it weird to have pics with other guys on my profile if they're my friends? On Hinge for example, do you have particular prompts you think are better than others? Please share your insight with the class lol :) Love you!

Feedback for taryne

Hello, i have some feedback for Taryne. Its about you saying “oh im a good girl i dont do that” even if its joking, there has been a few episodes when you have said this while youre telling a story about a guy or whatever; youre just calling yourself something the misogynistic/macho men use to describe a WOMAN who doesnt “sleep around” or has less than 2 sexual partners. Youre contributing to that STUPID behavior/standard they use!! By default youre pretty much saying Ashley herself is trash cause she has had sex, more than you, and its like wtf? Neither you or Ashley are “good girls” you’re just a woman Taryne, a woman that has made a personal commitment and it doesnt make you a “GOOD GIRL” think how younger viewers would see this! And if they have sex they might feel shameful because they are not a “good girl” like you! We gotta do better as grown women!

Changing the *BLEEP* ??

Hellloooo my besties!!! First off, I LOVE you two! I've been listening since the beginning and am a new Supercast member and I must say-- the $5 is SOOOO worth it! My question is could it be possible if y'all change the audio for bleeping out the swear words? I have quite a lot of anxiety and PTSD and the intensity of the current audio has caused my heart rate to spike and me to jump whenever I listen to y'all in the car while driving or while running. Thank you! I love you both so so much!!❤️

How do I become more confident in the workplace?

I am going to school for my master’s in elementary education and I am currently a substitute teacher. I have anxiety when I substitute for teachers and I have to teach in front of other teachers. I feel embarrassed and I lose my train of thought. I love teaching kids, but sometimes I feel inadequate to be a teacher. Any help would be appreciated. :)

Oh, NOW I might want kids? 🙆‍♀️

I need your help gals! I’ve gone my whole life wanting to be with my person and a bunch of pets….not so much kids. I’ve always been pushed SO hard to have kids by everyone in my life, and have felt confident in my choice to not have kids and instead be a kick-azz auntie! Now that my 33rd birthday is approaching, I am starting to yearn for a child of my own. I think it’s a combination of starting to feel more confident in my own skin, years of deep therapy and self-work, and finally getting through the worst parts of the trauma of losing my husband in 2020. Now that I’m in a new relationship that seems healthy and growth oriented, the idea of kids sounds….possible. I’m scared to lose my independence (that I’m only recently starting to feel) and my goals and dreams of living a whole life, but a gnawing part of me wants a child so badly. To give them a good life, to teach them how to be, to see the world as if it was new…. But this is a choice I can’t take back, and I’m scared that I won’t make the right choice. I refuse to be an older new Mom simply because my in laws had children in their 40s and are now both dead. This left my youngest brother in law on his own at only 25 years old, and I just can’t do that to a child. Also, I fear that my health may not allow me to have children easily the older I get…. My question is…. How can I make the right decision for myself and not look back? How can I know if having a child is the right decision, or should I be grateful for the life I’ve been building and continue to pursue that and just get my tubes tied at 35? Thank you so much for reading this. I hope that I phrased everything in the way that was gentle but conveyed how torn I’m feeling over the situation. I haven’t wanted children for the past 14 years and this feels like it could be something magical or possibly just my biological clock kicking in? Keep being amazing and know that I am sending the biggest hugs to you both!

Self worth and Money?

Hello beautiful ladies!! My question is how do you handle saving money when you’re making WAY less than you used to (think 28k less 😅), have had a “spicy” mental breakdown or two that involved spending WAY too much money because #retailtherapy? I’m so scared that I’ll never be able to get my savings back. I struggle with getting myself get little treats when I’ve had a bad day, but even if I can abstain from that (and I’ve been doing a lot better), I still can’t stop myself from wanting to buy gifts for my friends to show them how much I love them. Giftgiving is one of my love languages and it pains me to draw this line. Stopping buying my friends presents, not going out, not getting coffee together, etc. makes me sad, but I’m too scared to spend any money at all! If I buy something, the guilt surrounding it kills all of the joy and leaves me feeling ashamed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for being so genuine and wonderful all of these years, you help people more than you realize! ♥️🫶

Training a dog

My dog is an absolute menace and he’s so insane. His name is Finn and he’s a mini golden doodle. How do I train him to have more manners and be more well trained. We got him when he was 10 weeks old and were not the best and training him in the beginning and now he’s 11 months old and he’s crazy. Any tips?

Newly married

Hey Taryne and Ash! (Sorry Ash it just sounds better this way) I just got married this May (05.15.24) and I love my husband with all my heart. However I have a hard time communicating with him without things getting heated and turning into an argument. I think the hardest part is living together. I’ve been living on my own for a little bit and he hasn’t lived on his own at all. He travels for work so he hasn’t moved out of his parents until we got married. (We’re only 19) I love him with all my heart and I love living with him and being with him on his weeks home when he’s off work. But living together has definitely been an adjustment. I have OCD and I’m very particular about the way I clean and the way I do dishes and I often have a hard time letting him help with housework because I feel like he’s not doing it right but then I also get frustrated that I’m the only one helping around the house. Sometimes I look forward to him being gone for work so I can live alone again but I’m also torn up because I miss him so much. I have a really hard time when he’s gone because I just feel so lonely in my place. I do have a mini golden doodle but it’s not the same with my husband being gone. Ashley I know you lived alone for a year and I’m wondering what tips you have for not feeling so lonely and motivating myself to make dinner or take care of the house. Do you have any tips on romanticizing living alone and trying to learn to enjoy it? Thanks so much girls I love your podcast, I’ve been here since day one and you’ve been number one on my Spotify wrapped for the past 3 years. Also I’ve seen you guys both on YouTube and remember the schoolisha videos and the awkward situation back to school video with taryne doing a voiceover and tarynes brothers being in the video too. Also taryne I want you to know that your family business shocked golf balls is alwaysss on my for your page so congrats! Again thanks so much girls I love you so much!!!

staying friends with the ex

my girlfriend and I of 2 years mutually broke up last night and decided to still continue our routine of going to church together every Sunday. We also decided to text once in a while with life updates and keep our very long snapchat streak going. Neither of us want to lose each other’s friendship, and the idea of staying friends feels comforting, but i can’t help but wonder if this is going too far and that we’ll stay attached to each other, which could interrupt healing. any advice would be appreciated 🩷

Church motivation

Hey girls! I love being apart of my religion but I often times have a hard time going to church. I’m never motivated to actually go. I also have a hard time reading my scriptures and praying. I know you guys don’t talk a lot about religion but do you have any tips for trying to motivate myself or start praying, worshipping and reading scriptures more? I feel like supercast is a safe place to open up.

For Taryne. Working in Childcare

Hey Taryne! What’s your favorite part about working in childcare? Give me all the details about your job and what you do at your work? What kind of degree did you get? My goal is to be an elementary music teacher but I’m not sure what degree to get. I’m thinking early childhood education or elementary education. I currently work in childcare but sometimes it’s difficult. What tips do you have for working in childcare. Sometimes kids will fight and I’m not sure how to go about that situation at times. Usually I try to separate the kids and talk them through it, see what’s wrong and ask them to apologize. Sometimes the days are long and the kids are tiring. What are your tips for keeping your cool and making it through the long and hectic days?

Hair Care Tips

Hey Ashley!! You are always doing hair oils and hair masks but how do you get all of the product out of your hair. I have double washed countless times yet I’m still oily. What is your routine for that? Love you girls!!
