Do you ever feel like a fraud? Do you struggle with chronic self-doubt or low levels of confidence, especially when it comes to your intellectual abilities? If so, you may have experienced a bit of impostor syndrome, which is what we talk about in this week's episode. 

We start by defining impostor syndrome and what it feels like, and then go on to explain how it has shown up (or not shown up) in our lives [Hint: Mary Catherine has experienced it, Ben, not so much.]

We also discuss whether or not it affects the sexes differently, how impostor syndrome, confidence, and humility are related, and we close with some tips on dealing with this issue if you, too, are plagued by it.

It’s time to revisit our most popular podcast topic ever and the focus of our very first Starr Struck Radio episode [ever]--morning routines!

In this week’s episode we discuss how our morning routines have shifted in the 9 months since we recorded episode #1, we respond to some listener feedback about maximizing your morning hours, and we share a few new insights into morning routines that we think are worth pondering.

As usual, the show starts with our #firstworldproblems and we discuss something that Ben has been working through as of late. Plus, we laugh a lot ;)

This week, we're talking relationships. More specifically, long-distance relationships, living together, and marriage. In response to a listener question from last season (It's taken us way too long to answer, we know!) and in celebration of our 3-year wedding anniversary--which we celebrated last week--we're getting into it.

In the first half of the episode, we share a bit of our history as a couple and our experience moving in together (in 2009) after dating long-distance for 4 years. In the second half of the episode, we discuss how we feel marriage has changed our relationship, how we’ve each changed since getting married, and why we made the decision to get married in the first place.

Ben's dream has finally come true--a whole episode about CrossFit! You had to know it was coming, right!?!

As many of you know, Ben was an early adopter of CrossFit and has spent way too many hours of his life doing it, researching it, watching it, dreaming about it...thus, recording today's episode gave him the chance to put all of his "hard work" to use and share some of his CrossFit knowledge and experience with you.

In the first half of the episode, Ben shares the basics of CrossFit and we both share our experiences with it. In the second half of the episode, we discuss the pluses + minuses of CrossFit and answer the question, "Should you do CrossFit?" 

Even if you don't do CrossFit or have never heard of it, I think you'll find this episode interesting because we discuss how CrossFit is changing the fitness landscape in the US and how it's giving us a new way to think about "working out."
