Who do you think was making the funnier joke here, @john.lorman or me?! 😅😉 . A new episode — EPISODE TWO! — of our podcast #MarriedUndertheInfluence is now live! This week we’re talking #goals and intention for the new year. Setting those intentions is something we look forward to every year and we’re sharing our system (and why goals fueled by🍷 makes us a little more ambitious). We’d love to hear if you set goals, and if you do — what are you hoping to accomplish this year?? . We’re also talking Oscar nominations, why there’s no crying in baseball but there IS cheating, and of course, #ChampagneGate on @Bachelorabc. . Come have a drink with us (all liquids acceptable ☕️🍻🥃🍷🥂🍸) for Episode 2! Link in bio. . Bonus: We’ve got a special 2.5 episode featuring our Bachelor fantasy draft. Check it out if you want to play along. . #podcast #newpodcast #marriedlife #married #couples #relationships #marriage #beer #craftbeer #craftbeerlovers #undertheinfluence #new #episodeone #episode #husband #wife #beer #drinks #letsdothis #nyc #nycpodcast #nypodcast #fantasydraft #thebachelor #sports #popculture It’s Monday! I have a love hate relationship with Mondays. . I love weekend vibes and hanging with my husband, family and friends. I love being a little more lax with the diet and workouts, and I love sleeping in. . But while I may lament some parts of saying goodbye to the weekend, I also really love a new start to the week and a fresh chance to succeed in all kinds of ways. . I have to be dilligent about setting weekly goals for myself, especially since I work from home. I have to be disciplined and give myself some structure because if I don’t, I’ll admittedly get distracted and work on one of the other thousand tabs that’s open in my brain on that day. Anyone else struggle with having too many internal tabs open?! . What’s motivating you today? For me, it’s setting priorities on tasks that need done before a busy day of work on Friday and then an exciting weekend away in the 🏔 with friends! I hope everyone has a great week! 💪 . #motivationmonday #motivation #monday #nycadventures #weekend #work #workflow #goals #goalsetting #structure #workfromhome #wfh #centralpark #nyc #todo #todolist #marriedlife  #married  #couples #relationships #marriage #husband #wife #wifelife #letsdothis We traded the 🍻 for 🍸🥃 this weekend for a little early celebration of seven years together. January 13 is the day John officially asked me to be his girlfriend... after just 3 dates. 😅😂😍 . It’s actually really funny because we talked about taking it slow and not making it official for a little while. I had just gotten back from a few months in Los Angeles and was getting ready to start my last semester of college. But when we would go places and I would introduce him as my friend, he said he got mad at that and didn’t want to be introduced as my friend anymore. 🤣🥰 . So we take the time to celebrate this day every year. Honestly, we’re that couple that celebrates just about anything. Good day at work? Celebrate! Didn’t cry at a cheesy Hallmark commercial? Celebrate! Had a good night of sleep? Celebrate! 😂🎉 (Ok, maybe not THAT extreme.) I know it sounds silly, but it makes life more fun when the little milestones are just as important as the big ones. . We each picked a place this weekend to surprise the other one with, and it was hilarious how similar the vibes of our choices were. We checked out @sixtyfivenyc at @rainbowroomnyc as well as @opheliany. Both amazing views and delicious cocktails, which is what we were both going for. . What did everyone do this weekend?! NYC had a heat streak — hope you got to get outside if you had some nice weather, too! ☀️ . #nycadventures #anniversary #weekend #cocktails #drinkswithaview #views #nycviews #podcast  #marriedlife #married #couples #relationships #marriage #beer #craftbeer #craftbeerlovers #undertheinfluence #husband #wife #wifelife #beer #drinks #party #letsdothis #nyc #nycpodcast #nypodcast Happy Friday! Yesterday @john.lorman and I ventured into the podcast world, and I guess that means there’s no turning back. . The truth is we were both nervous about taking on this passion project, but also equally excited. . We already spend a lot of quality time together in 450 square feet, what makes us so sure that starting a podcast in close quarters of each other was going to be a good thing?! Dang, I really hope we like each other as much as I think we do. . Our hope is that if you hear a story, or if we talk about an experience, or share something we have had to face and overcome together - that that experience will impact someone for the better. Marriage is hard, changing jobs is hard, moving cities is hard. But all of that is also so rewarding. We hope to shed some light on how we make it work and what has ended up being worth it (which for the record is almost* everything). . If nothing else, we hope you’ll get a laugh out of a young couple trying to figure ish out on their own. Adulting is hard, y’all. . Married Under the Influence to us definitely means that we’re having fun while drinking delicious craft beer from some of our favorite breweries. But our lives have also been influenced by a lot of other things, too. Family, friends, Joy, tragedy, surprise, hard work, dreams; those things are what really impact and influence us. . We want to hear from you, too. What’s something you and your partner have gone through that’s made you stronger, or tested your relationship? What’s a dream you’ve had together? Or what’s something that you’d like to hear about from this couple living in a teeny apartment in New York City? We can’t wait to chat about all of that — along with some of our favorite TV shows, sports teams, and beers, too, of course. . #podcast #newpodcast #marriedlife #married #couples #relationships #marriage #beer #craftbeer #craftbeerlovers #undertheinfluence #new #episodeone #episode #husband #wife #wifelife #beer #drinks #party #letsdothis #nyc #nycpodcast #nypodcast If there is one picture that sums up @john.lorman and I, this would be it. Last to leave a party (or beautiful friends’ wedding as pictured here💍). Not afraid to be loud and goofy. And always with a drink in hand. We're quirky and a little over the top - which is again highlighted by the fact that I'm drinking beer out of a wine glass. #fancy . For several months, John and I have been talking about a project that we could take on together. Something we'd both enjoy, and be able to express ourselves creatively doing. It actually kind of started at an Interactive Art Exhibit, but more on that later. . So this week, we recorded episode one of our new podcast Married Under the Influence. As lovers of beer, sports and pop culture, we're chatting about hot topics as well as divulge some of the lessons we've learned throughout our married life with a different marriage topic each week. It's a fireside-style chat featuring some of our favorite stories (while we drink some of our favorite beers). . It is far from perfect. But then again, so are we. We're looking forward into sharing a little glimpse of this crazy, unpredictable life we've built together, and hope some of you can relate and will enjoy following along. . More on that interactive art exhibit I mentioned can be found in our First Episode (eek!), which is now live on #Spotify, #Buzzsprout and #TuneIn (+ coming soon to Apple Podcasts!). We hope you'll take a listen and let us know what you think. . We were both a little nervous to do this, and at times we definitely felt "not ready" -- but sometimes, that's the best time to take a leap of faith. After all, there's beer involved so what could go wrong?! . Link in bio to listen Episode One on Spotify.🎙 . #podcast #newpodcast #marriedlife #married #couples #relationships #marriage #beer #craftbeer #craftbeerlovers #undertheinfluence #new #episodeone #episode #husband #wife #wifelife #beer #drinks #party #letsdothis #nyc #nycpodcast #nypodcast I had to write / type 2020 several times today and I still can’t believe it’s here! 😳 . 2019 brought a lot of changes (yay for moving to NYC!) and in 2020 I’m so looking forward to all kinds of new adventures in the city. I’m embarking on some new creative adventures personally, as well as putting some extra creative effort into my professional life as well. It’s all a little scary, but also very exciting. . Most importantly, I’ll be spending so much time in 2020 celebrating the triumphs personally and professionally of so many of my girlfriends! I’m tagging a few here who I can’t wait to follow along with and cheer on! 🙌💪💛 . So I’m looking at you, girl bosses. Dedicated friends. Hard workers. Go-getters. This is your year. 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣0️⃣ . Tag someone in the comments I should also be cheering on! 🎉
