Christmas Joy in the Middle of Hard
<p>In this uplifting holiday episode, Betina and Jen make a bold declaration: they're choosing celebration over survival this Christmas season, regardless of what hardships they're carrying. Through honest conversations about their far-from-perfect lives, they explore why creating beauty and gathering with intention are essential, especially when times are tough. They challenge the cultural narrative that honors past pain more than present possibility, refusing to let trauma steal the magic of the moment. The episode offers permission to those who are struggling, reminding listeners that needing warmth and light isn't a weakness. From decorating to cooking to simply showing up fully for festive moments, they reframe holiday traditions as acts of defiance against darkness, proving that joy doesn't require perfect circumstances, just an intentional choice to amplify what's good even while acknowledging what's hard.</p><p><strong>Time stamps:</strong></p><p>00:00 Intros</p><p>02:59 Temp Check: What’s your temperature for letting yourself enjoy the holidays fully?</p><p>15:53 Backstory: Learning that joy and hardship coexist and that the holidays are where we choose to amplify the joy</p><p>34:20 Life Focus: Recognizing that gathering, decorating, creating moments of beauty is a profound spiritual practice; honoring that if you’re struggling, you especially deserve to experience the warmth and light that this season offers; choosing to live during the holidays, not just survive them</p><p>49:34 Recipes: Gather around this: Light and warmth, something that feels how the season tastes</p><p><strong>Recipes:</strong></p><p>The Ham Dish (Potato, Onion and Ham au Gratin)</p><p>Preheat oven to 375 and grease a baking dish</p><p>Heat 3 tbsp unsalted butter and cook 5 medium onions (sliced thin) until translucent (2 min)</p><p>Peel and slice 5 large potatoes into thin rounds, rinse in cold water and dry thoroughly</p><p>Layer ½ of the potatoes in baking dish in overlapping rows, top with half onions and season with salt, pepper, nutmeg</p><p>Cover onion layer completely with sliced ham and top with remaining onions and potatoes</p><p>Pour 1 ¼ cup heavy cream over top, then season salt pepper, nutmeg</p><p>Bake 1 ½ hours while basting w/ additional ¼ cup cream, then tip pan and baste with cream from bottom, keeping potatoes moist on top</p><p>Cook until potatoes have absorbed most of moisture and are very tender and golden brown on top</p><p><strong>Music Credits:</strong></p><p>0:00 “For My Good” - AFTR</p><p>14:35 “Xmas is Coming” - Sture Zetterberg</p><p>33:41 “Jingle Bells (LoFi Version)” - Jobii</p><p>49:08 “Caribbean Christmas” - Guustavv</p><p>60:20 “Cold Outside” - Gregory David</p><p>Follow Links:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/whatsthetemp_"><strong>https://www.instagram.com/whatsthetemp_</strong></a></p><p>Follow on Facebook:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.https://www.facebook.com/whatsthetemppodcast"><strong>https://www.https://www.facebook.com/whatsthetemppodcast</strong></a></p><p>Subscribe on YouTube:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@WhatstheTempPodcast"><strong>https://www.youtube.com/@WhatstheTempPodcast</strong></a></p><p>Contact:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:info@whatsthetemppod.com"><strong>info@whatsthetemppod.com</strong></a></p>

The Love Letter We Never Wrote (to Ourselves)
<p>We're quick to offer grace to everyone else, but when it comes to ourselves? That's where we quickly pump the brakes. In this Season of Love episode, we look inwardly and ask: what would it look like to treat ourselves with the same compassion we extend to others? Jen shares a tender letter she wrote to herself in the early days of sobriety, written from the woman she ultimately became. Betina opens up about wrestling with the concept of "deserving" rest when her body is screaming for it, revealing how we've been conditioned to earn basic needs and kindness for ourselves. We explore how becoming your own safe place might be one of the most radical acts of love you can practice. If you've ever denied yourself grace while freely giving it away to everyone and everything around you, this conversation will challenge you to finally write that love letter you've been withholding from the person who needs it most: you.</p><p><strong>Time stamps:</strong></p><p>00:00 Intros</p><p>2:32 Temp Check: Self-Compassion Temperature - What’s your I deserve grace Temp?</p><p>15:55 Backstory: Learning that loving yourself isn’t selfish, but it’s a foundation</p><p>28:53 Life Focus: Recognizing self-compassion as strength, not weakness; learning to be your own safe place</p><p>56:56 Recipes: I deserve this dish: A no-guilt indulgence</p><p><strong>Recipes:</strong></p><p>Betina had a warm Marie Callender’s Apple pie à la mode</p><p>Jen had butternut squash soup with a baguette that she ate in as many ways as possible</p><p><strong>Music Credits:</strong></p><p>0:00 “For My Good” - AFTR</p><p>14:35 “The Lone Traveler” - Will Harrison</p><p>28:27 “1999” - SOOP</p><p>47:05 “High Energy Bad Attitude” - Bonkers Beat Club</p><p>60:53 “Safe and Warm” - Stonekeepers</p><p>Follow Links:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/whatsthetemp_"><strong>https://www.instagram.com/whatsthetemp_</strong></a></p><p>Follow on Facebook:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.https://www.facebook.com/whatsthetemppodcast"><strong>https://www.https://www.facebook.com/whatsthetemppodcast</strong></a></p><p>Subscribe on YouTube:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@WhatstheTempPodcast"><strong>https://www.youtube.com/@WhatstheTempPodcast</strong></a></p><p>Contact:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:info@whatsthetemppod.com"><strong>info@whatsthetemppod.com</strong></a></p>

Mirror Work
<p>In this refreshingly open and honest episode, Betina and Jen tackle self-love through the lens of body acceptance, sharing stories that range from funny to heartbreaking. Betina recounts her culture-shock moment at a Midwest "club" where her Thanksgiving dinner outfit left her overdressed. Jen celebrates Betina's unshakable confidence regardless of pant size, contrasting it with communities where self-assurance feels like a foreign language. Through vulnerable admissions about their own harsh self-criticism, they challenge the idea that bodies are projects requiring constant fixing rather than homes deserving love and gratitude. The conversation moves from comparison culture to genuine self-acceptance, exploring why treating ourselves with the same kindness we'd offer a struggling friend feels so impossibly hard, yet is so necessary for showing up fully in life.</p><p>Time stamps:</p><p>00:00 Intros</p><p>2:23 Temp Check: Self-Love vs. Self-Criticism Temp - What’s your temp for how comfortable you are in celebrating your body exactly the way it is right now?</p><p>15:15 Back Story: Learning to look at yourself with gratitude instead of a to-do list.
