bask in friendship episode 17
<p>We learned a lot in the last five months since we started working on Bask and this podcast! We’re closing out our first season of the Bask in Friendship podcast today, with what we’ve learned and where we’re headed.</p><p>Breck understands more about how much effort it takes to build and maintain friendships – through our Bask conversations she's been inspired to make more of an effort with friends. Sally has learned that the world really does need help making friends! So Bask is a whole lot personal and a whole lot universal. </p><p>We've also been working with a designer – and we've really enjoyed it for two people that have never built a consumer app before! We tested Bask via Zoom gatherings a few months back, but we learned from that that we actually needed to emulate a more casual IRL gathering, we wanted it to feel less formal, and so we built into our design a way to support that natural ease (and sometimes awkwardness!) of jumping into a conversation. This means no start times to video chat rooms, no waiting in the wings, and no formal intros or moderators. </p><p>We also learned that friend apps really don’t need to tell women who to meet – that doesn't make sense for women! Swiping just isn’t our style. Women need time to connect and go deep on shared interests and experiences – it takes 200 hours to get to deep friendship, which is the goal most women over 30 have. So we couldn't create Bask like every other dating app where we suggest individuals, but instead suggest interest/experience rooms, so you have a great initiation point to get the conversation started. </p><p>So now we've got an MVP (minimum viable product) clickable prototype. Rough sketches came out of our head and into the real world! We’re closing out the first season of our podcast with smiles on our faces and wind at our backs.</p><p>We'd love to share with you – <strong>send us a note (baskfriends@gmail.com) if you'd like to check out our designs and give us feedback.</strong> See you next season! </p><p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

bask in friendship episode 16
<p>Breck and Sally both made friends at work! In this episode, they compare notes on the shared interests they had with women at work, and how that translated to friendships outside of work. </p><p>They are joined by guest Natalie Underdown, Ph.D., from <a target="_blank" href="https://thenucompany.com/">The Nu Company</a>. While in the corporate world, Natalie also made a great friend at work, with a woman that she collaborated with and connected with across time zones. Through their international travel and shared projects, they became close. </p><p>Natalie is: </p><p>“driven by the idea that we truly can change the world through business if we’re willing to #dotheworkatwork.” </p><p>This applies to work friendships too! Bringing your personal self to work means bringing your most authentic self, and provides the opportunity for more authentic friendships. </p><p>We talk about all things company culture and how organization culture has evolved over time. Millennials are pushing their companies to enable employees to bring their whole selves to work. </p><p>Natalie shares that when it comes to female friendships at work with a boss or direct report, it's best to keep a healthy distance. Boundaries can be helpful with the power dynamic of a boss/direct report. When you're peers or on the same team, however, building a friendship outside of work can only help the relationship.</p><p>We chat about all things culture, behaviors, and how companies can encourage camaraderie and connection amongst their employees. We also dig into what happens when you get promoted and your prior friends now report into you. </p><p>Does remote work help or hinder building friendships at work? You'll have to give the podcast a listen and hear Natalie's take!</p><p>At the end of the day, consider what role you'd like your work friends to play in your life. For any healthy relationship, it's important to be able to show up as your whole self, which might not be possible with certain work friendships, and it's important to understand that. But some work friendships can be an incredible thing because they know what you're dealing with Monday through Friday! </p><p><strong>Continue to Bask</strong></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.gallup.com/access/323333/q12-employee-engagement-survey.aspx">Galllup's Q12 Employee Engagement Survey</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://hbr.org/2019/11/how-remote-workers-make-work-friends">How Remote Workers Make Work Friends</a></p><p>Natalie is an executive coach and organizational psychologist. She weaves psychology, wellness, and science-backed strategies together to offer modern, mindful support for the whole person at work. She lives in sunny San Diego with her husband Preston and Golden Retriever Bowie Girl and can often be found trying out new restaurants, walking with Bowie, or diving into anything creative (lately it's been painting!).

bask in friendship episode 15
<p>Halfway through the year! We're checking in on goal setting, resolutions, and living a healthier life. As we discuss that the vast majority of people don't fulfill their new years resolutions, we also dig into how to build and lead a healthier life, and what that means for friendships.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.mikaelajdavis.com">Mikaela Davis</a> is our talented guest: she worked in international public health in the last 10 years, but recently became a health coach. She loves working with communities, but seeing how some of her bigger projects like water sanitation improvements impact the individual really drew her to working now 1:1. She's driven by helping her clients understand how to get to where they want to go! </p><p>If you're thinking about making resolutions and goal achievement, consistency is way more important than intensity. What you do daily matters more than what you do every now and then. Pick a goal that you'll stick with. This also means start small – don't try to overhaul your entire life at once! </p><p>Goals are all part of a bigger picture around living a healthier life. Mikaela breaks down her seven things you need to lead a happier and healthier life in great detail and with a ton of tips to help you get going! She covers purpose, play, sleep, nutrition, movement, mindfulness, and community. We love play and community, because they’re natural places to build and maintain friendships!</p><p>You'll have to give a listen to hear more about what play really means to her, and what fun activity Mikaela has started up recently! </p><p>At the end of the day, dive into designing the life you want to be living (rather than changing who you are) by getting connected to your WHY. From there, celebrate the small wins as you make progress on any of your goals related to the seven things.</p><p>Finally, we chat about how to show up with a friend that may not be showing up in a healthy way for themselves. Check in with them, see what they need, perhaps model a certain behavior to them. And then also spend time on YOU - go outside your comfort zone to play, to build community. These seven things are not silos, they all intersect and intermingle, so making adjustments in one can impact another. </p><p>We'd love to hear from you if you make any changes or feel as empowered as we do after listening to Mikaela! <a target="_blank" href="http://baskfriends@gmail.com">Send us a note</a>! </p><p><strong>Contact to Bask:</strong></p><p>Mikaela Davis is a Health Coach and trauma informed yoga instructor with a Master’s Degree in Public Health from Yale University. She specializes in mindset and behavior change.</p><p>She spent 10+ years working in international public health from India to Haiti on HIV/AIDS projects , advocacy for factory workers and water & sanitation. Her work in international public health informs her coaching work today where she concentrates on helping people change their thought patterns, build better habits & create more joy</p><p>She absolutely loved that her international work allowed her to live in and experience new places. Travel and food are high on her list of favorite things. She's never met a sunset she didn't like. Loves a good book and is always up for an adventure, particularly if it involves the outdoors. </p><p>As a self proclaimed type A, perfectionist who has experienced burnout, breakdown and health issues as a result, she is a big believer that habits & mindset are paramount to happiness and living well. And, that we can all live well!</p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://instagram.com/mikaeladavis_">Follow her on Instagram.</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
