In this week's episode, we indulge our mushy, lovey-dovey sides and talk about one of our favorite subjects (our very favorite subject?), our rescue dog, Sayde. This little dog-child has changed our lives in so many ways that we felt we had to spend some time talking about her on the show.
During the first half of the episode, we tell our Sayde adoption story and discuss the process of adopting a pet from halfway across the country. In the second half of the episode, we share some of the challenges that we’ve experienced with Sayde, how she has changed our lives, what we've learned from her, and some tips for those who might want to rescue a dog themselves.

In this episode, we chat about a subject that normally wouldn’t enter into the Starr Struck lexicon--cars. But, we talk about cars as they relate to some bigger picture life issues and topics, such as materialism, values, self-image, and finances.
In the first half of the episode, we each share our car history and tell a few ridiculous car stories (they are really ridiculous and we laugh a lot). In the second half of the episode, we talk about the car issues that we’re facing right now, and how these issues are inspiring us to take a look at our values, our relationship, and our attachment issues.

What motivates you? Do you know why you do what you do?
In this week's episode, we discuss the dangers of relying on negative sources of motivation in order to make things happen or achieve goals in your life. There's a big difference between motivation that comes from a place of fear, anger, or comparison, as opposed to motivation caused by passion, excitement, or fulfillment, and we want you to understand that difference.
In the first half of the episode, we break down the various types of negative motivation that we’ve each experienced and give examples of situations in which we’ve relied on these types of motivation.
In the second half, we discuss the dangers of these types of motivation and offer some ways to flip your perspective and find more positive sources of inspiration.

Why don't more guys do yoga? In this week's episode, we tackle this subject and more (because really, where are all the dudes?).

In the second half of the episode, we discuss why more guys should do yoga and how a guy can feel more comfortable going to his first yoga class. Near the end of the show we share some do’s + dont’s for women who want to bring a beginner male companion to class with them.
