Ben is back and this week we’re talking about the challenges of “keeping up with the Joneses” or comparing yourself to others. But first, we do some follow-up from Episode 35: we've finished 'Making a Murderer' so we spend some time sharing our thoughts on that show (spoiler-alert!) and we revisit registries + thank you notes by discussing some listener feedback on these two subjects. 

Then, in the second half of the show we talk about how big life decisions can be influenced by what your peers and friends are doing, why it may be tempting to measure yourself against those in similar life stages, the potential pitfalls of comparison, and for those who need it, ways to avoid playing this comparison game.

As always, thanks for listening! You can learn more + view the shownotes at StarrStruckRadio.com.

Sara is back for her third visit to the show! We use this opportunity to chat about two different subjects that apply to both of our "adult" lives as of late:

We start with a discussion about making the big decision to move [from a city] and “settle down"--and what that looks like for each of us in our lives right now. We then chat about making friends in a new place when you no longer have built-in social networks around you and how we each find this challenging in our own ways. To close, Sara gives us a play-by-play on how to approach a potential new friend ;)

Lets have a chat about two totally unrelated but interesting topics! This week we discuss the podcast Serial + the similar shows that have popped up around it, and then we jump into a conversation about the etiquette around registries, thank you cards, and gift-giving in general....it's a hodge-podge of opinions + murder mysteries! But we think it's worth a listen ;)

It's a new year and we're back! In this week's episode, we start by discussing vacations, holiday travel, + simple pleasures, and end with a conversation about scaling back in the new year.

In our household, "scaling back" is the theme of 2016, so we spend some time chatting about how we're each scaling back, why we think it's important to do this, and how we both hope that scaling back will allow us to be more present at home and with each other in this new year.
