The Peachy AF Podcast With J9 & Bex

23/04/2021

Hey Peaches! 🍑🧡It’s been forever since we’ve graced your presence with our lovely voices and ridiculous tangents but it’s been a rough month. Sadly, Bex’s incredible Gramps passed away so things have been unexpectedly turned upside down. In this episode, we chat about Bex’s Gramps and how he was a man of few words but full of random and helpful advice (don’t buy Shell gas and make sure you have a wad of cash on ya to find a sweet deal! Lol). He was wise, funny and loving man and he will be missed greatly! We also discuss how grieving is during a pandemic sucks ass and feels weird and surreal to lose someone during this time. It’s the Pandemic Update/Grandparents/Dog episode so we hope you enjoy reminiscing and laughing with us! Our Grampa’s were our favourite guys, while our Gramma’s make us question if we’ll be that crazy when we’re old AF! Lol :) Link in bio or check out your fav platform 🧡

Happiest birthday to half of the Peachy AF Podcast, Bex! 🥳 You’re officially in your mid-late 30’s and I’m allowed to say that because I’m a whopping 1 yr and 2 months younger than you 😜. Much love from your annoying younger BFF 😄🧡🍑

12/03/2021

Hey Peaches🍑 Episode 14 is live! We chat about treating depression/anxiety etc with medication and Bex chats about her long struggle. Medication has helped her so much over the years and had helped her be an even better mother and wife. She’s experienced first hand seeing people shame other moms for taking antidepressants and that’s just so wrong! We need everyone to normalize the way people treat their mental illness/mental health. You never know the battles people are struggling with and sometimes a pill 💊 can have a huge positive impact! Let us know what you think and know you can always DM us if you wanna chat 😊

From this is such an accurate example of how people cope and suffer from depression. We chatted in our last episode on how J9 has dealt with hers through overeating/binging (“eating her feelings”), talking things out, manic episodes, numbing by watching endless Netflix and so many other ways. Medication has made the world of difference but still experiences those coping mechanisms. Our next episode drops today and we talk about how Bex handles it and how medication has truly helped over the years to maintain consistency in her life. Please educate yourself on how depression comes in many forms and no two people are alike so be patient, kind and understanding. Follow they have great resources 🍑🧡

Happy International Women’s Day Peaches 🍑 🧡. Although, we think that’s everyday 😉 we appreciate every woman who’s taught us so much and moulded us into who we are today. There’s so many strong,resilient and powerful women out there and hope we raise our daughters to be the same and have our sons respect how kick ass women are 😊. Have a wonderful day and remember to lift each other up, don’t tear each other down - we are all amazing in our own ways 🧡💪🏻🙌 #2021

26/02/2021

Oh hey Peaches🍑 Episode 13 dropped today! We chat about treating depression/anxiety etc with medication and J9 dishes about her experiences. This is part 1 of 2 and we hope this helps to bring more normalcy to taking pills to keep you feeling your best! No shame and truths coming at ya! Let us know what you think and know you can always DM us if you wanna chat 😊

25/02/2021

Today was pink shirt day for anti-bullying and we are so happy to see all the kiddos and adults supporting this! We’ve definitely endured bullying in our childhood as well as grownups and it has had a lasting effect on our mental health and others. Have you been bullied or been a bully? Let us know in the comments 👇 and always be kind as you never know what others are going through 💕

20/02/2021

Miss Potty Mouth J9 is really living it up this Friday night 😂 Damn Google is supposed to know everything! Lol 😆 New episode in the bio 🧡🍑

19/02/2021

Heeeey Peaches! 🍑 did you miss us? We’re back after a little much needed hiatus. Our latest episode launches at 10 am. Stay tuned for a little check in and recap around where we’re at in life!

How are you all doing?! Let us know down below 👇

26/01/2021

Hey Peaches! 🍑 is coming up this Thursday and over the years has helped break down the stigma of mental health. It has helped so many people be open with their thoughts/emotions/well-being and has prevented countless suicides. Did you know that 1 in 5 Canadians will personally experience mental illness? By age 40, about 50% of the population will have had or will have mental illness? It’s reality and even more prominent the last 10 months where people who never thought they would experience mental health issues have been hit hard. We want you to know that you are never alone and there’s tons of outlets that can help you when you need it the most, and heck, we’re just one message away if you need someone to talk to 😊🧡🤗 Check out our website www.peachyafpodcast.ca for blog updates this week!

22/01/2021

Cheesy but holy s**t they wrote this in less than a day 😂. We’ve been looking at Bernie memes all day lol. Oh and yesterday was amazingly awesome beside the memes...legendary!

19/01/2021

Did you know it was “Blue Monday” yesterday? Not gunna lie, J9 got off the struggle bus this morning but I know what to do to get back at it! This is such a great read that we think many can relate to! Self awareness is one step in the right direction🧡🍑🤗

If you want to change your life have you to practice self-awareness so you know what you're doing, why, and what actually needs to change.

Hey Peaches🍑 🧡. Have you checked out our latest episode?? We may have laughed 80% of the time 😂. Also, don’t mind us trashing WW it wasn’t our jam (mmm jam 😋) and sorry to all the Karen’s and Brenda’s lol 🤗. How are your “resolutions” going?! Healthy mindset should be your first priority whether that being meditation, working out, eating less donuts or taking medication to help with the lows - no judgement and you do you 🧡. Here’s a quick tip - throw out the damn scale...that s**t is unnecessary and BMI is an archaic measurement so f**k that! Thanks for coming to our TedTalk 😘Much love 🍑

14/01/2021

New episode Peaches!!

Happy New year Peaches! We hope everyone is doing well even though the s**tstorm has continued....This episode we chat resolutions and wellness during this cliche time of the year and give tips on how we're starting 2021 on the right-ish foot! We might go on a couple tangents but hopefully you enjoy...

14/01/2021

I feel like Bex needs to make these 😂 💯...fitting with our Peachy AF 😊

Happy 2021 Peaches🧡🍑🥂🍾. So it’s gone off to a rocky start for most but we’re still hopeful that mindset shifts will happen and things will get better...things will get better,right?! 😅. This episode we chat resolutions, unsolicited pics 😂 and all things random as per usual! We have big plans for the Peachy AF brand this year and look forward to chatting it up with great guests and hitting you with all things mental health and life related craziness! How have the first 2 weeks of 2021 been treating ya? Drop a comment or reach out to us on our website www.peachyafpodcast.ca. Later Peaches 🍑 #2021

12/01/2021

This is a very good read and ties into our next episode along with one of our first episodes “Lifetime of Diet Yo-yo-Ing”...most resolutions tend to be about weight loss or getting fit and unless you address the mental health tied to it, it will be a struggle and make you feel worse than before you started your journey.
Mental health is a bitch but know you’re not alone 🍑🧡

When we associate our worth with our weight, weight gain makes us feel less worthy. The less worthy we feel, the worse we treat ourselves.

07/01/2021

Wow if this isn’t a I don’t know what is! It’s sad that the current generation has no idea what “Be Kind and Rewind” means 😅😩. Many weekend nights spent at and ...ah the original Netflix and chill 🤣🤣🤣

06/01/2021

Gosh we love these ladies! Completely relatable! How are you parents doing with homeschooling and not being able to socialize your kiddos like usual?

Just here to let everyone know that you’re allowed to be in worse than a funk. Just here to let everyone know that being over yourself and everyone in your house is also allowed. Just want to let everyone know that you’re allowed to be losing your freaking mind low on parenting patience and spouse patience. You’re allowed to be Mad that they’re on screens so freaking much and don’t do anything about it. You’re allowed to be Sick of your phone, sick of social media, sick of mindlessly scrolling that you literally want to throw your phone, but you’re so bored it’s what you chronically do. It’s all allowed. It seems sometimes that covid has become a pressure cooker of being positive grateful and Inspired. You can have all the feelings..... it’s just sometimes no one says it, so you sit there in guilt and silence that you’re feeling anything but positive and grateful..... so you’re allowed all the feelings. Even if it feels like no one else does ❤️

When we’re in a funk, New Girl is our go-to on Netflix. Super random but Bex thinks J9 is Nick and J9 thinks Bex is Schmidt 😂lol...if you don’t know what we’re talking about, check it out! It’s definitely a mood booster if you like a good comedy 😊. Have you seen it? What is your favourite show when you’re feeling crappy?

05/01/2021

Tuesday Health Tip: We’re definitely both having one of those days...for extremely different reasons. Whatever your reasons, know that everyone struggles in their own way and everyone deals with it in their own way. Even the strongest people can get bogged down...you never know who’s secretly battling with themselves due to internal or external factors. We are all human and are meant to feel overwhelmed, happy, sad, depressed, hopeless, frustrated and everything in between - mental health comes in many forms. Just be kind to yourself and know there are people who love and care for you and root for you in life. Much love Peaches 🍑 🧡

05/01/2021

So who actually makes resolutions? We figure this last year has been a write-off and just as long as you eat less donuts, no need to make any resolutions! Lol 🍩 But seriously, we both plan on kicking our health and fitness into high gear and are making achievable goals...and if we fall off, we actually won’t beat ourselves up about it! It’s about consistency, getting stronger💪🏻 and nurturing our mental health 😊🤗. You know us, all about that mental health and doing things that make us less bats**t crazy 😅. So what are your goals or what you want to achieve this year?!🧡🍑 **kresolutions

Happy New Year Peaches! 🥳🥂🍑. The holidays have been a bit overwhelming for most, and we look forward to the opportunities 2021 has in store! We are looking forward to expanding our podcast reach organically and making it better for all of you 😊. Life has derailed us a bit but know that we love producing this podcast and are so grateful for everyone who has listened to our craziness 😂. We plan on having more guests and more topics around mental health for you to enjoy so we hope you are patient as we get more organized for the upcoming episodes! As a nagging reminder lol, we would love to have any input or feedback on the episodes we have released so far. Thank you so much for the support and look forward to kicking ass in 2021! Much love and here’s to a fantastic year😀🧡 #2021

Merry ho-ho Peaches 🍑 It’s been a long ass time and we apologize for being MIA again- life’s a peach remember 😅. Anyone else feeling like the last couple of months beat the crap outta ya?! With new COVID restrictions, holding down the fort making sure the kids stay alive (Bex, not J9...she’s only trusted with pets at the moment 😂) and just being a lazy sack (J9 100%...funny how anxiety/depression bites ya in the ass lol), the days/weeks have slipped away from us! We have a new episode coming at ya on Wednesday or Christmas Eve Eve for you diehards 🎅We both love the holiday season and our traditions have definitely changed over the years. Losing loved ones and learning how to enjoy the holiday season without our favourite people has been tricky the last while but it’s become easier each year. In our next episode, we chat about our family holiday traditions, both good and bad and look forward to sharing with you! Check out our website (www.peachyafpodcast.ca) to catch up on older episodes and we’re excited to continue with the s**t show 😄🍑

18/11/2020

Here’s some Wednesday fun! Which one are you?! J9 is a Gemini and Bex is a Pisces 😂

12/11/2020

Hey Peaches 🍑. To be respectful of Remembrance Day we decided to launch our episode today instead. We have our first guest on our pod and so happy to have her! Lauralee from chats with us about her life obstacles and how she’s risen above drug and alcohol abuse, relationship abuse and family trauma. This episode talks overdose, death and a lot of drugs so please know if any of it triggers you to listen with caution. As always, we have many resources on our website to help those who need it at www.peachyafpodcast.ca Drop us a review, comment and let us know what you think! Much love Peaches 🍑 🧡

06/11/2020

Heyyy Peaches 🍑. Here’s a little throwback for you all back when Trump wasn’t President and we worked out in 80’s gear 😂 How’s your week going?! Check out our new website www.peachyafpodcast.ca and let us know how you liked the latest episode 🤗🧡🍑 #2015

05/11/2020

Oh hey Peaches! 🍑This week’s episode is launched and ready to go! We decided on a bit lighter episode to break up the intensity so enjoy and let us know what you think 😊🧡. We even plan on having these stand-up guys on the podcast to defend their honour lol so keep it locked! Happy humpday Peaches 😘🍑

04/11/2020

Check out Bex’s business page! Do you resonate with this post? We plan on doing an episode all about child anxiety and depression and would love any stories or feedback. If you have kids with anxiety, check out the resources Bex has put up 🧡🍑

My girl, beautiful inside and out ❤️ She happens to be one of the 20% of Canadian children who struggles with anxiety. It’s painful watching such an amazing human being go from full of life and confidence to having full on meltdowns over the simplest things. Anxiety in children is tough and covid hasn’t made it any easier. We’re fortunate to have found a program called MAP or My Anxiety Plan that used CBT therapy to help children struggling with anxiety. This program was developed here in Canada and is used by therapists world wide. Check out my stories for more information on getting started with this free, self paced program ❤️

29/10/2020

If this isn’t a Throwback Thursday, we don’t know what is 😂😂😂😂. Obviously it was BSB for J9 and unfortunately, probably NSYNC or gangsta rap for Bex 😂😉. Did anyone else feel a bajillion years old seeing this?!

What was your No. 1 album at age 12?

28/10/2020

One of the best songs ever and she does a great job covering it!

27/10/2020

Oh haaaay Peaches! We hope you had a good Monday (pretty sure those two words don’t belong beside each other 😜). Did you know Bex used her creative powers for good and made a pretty website for the Pod?! You can subscribe to it, bookmark it, save it , share it and leave comments and suggestions in a one stop shop! You can still listen to the podcast through your favourite app but this is a hub for it all and we’ll be adding cool features as we go 😊. Check it out and let us know what you think 🤗. Later Peaches 🧡🍑

How amazingly accurate is this analogy? Such a great way to make sense of another’s grief 🧡. How you doing this beautiful Saturday Peaches? 🍑. Make sure to check out Episode 8 and let us know what you think! 🤗

Ain’t that the truth! Be kind to yourselves always 🧡

In order to uncover who we are and why we act the way we do, we have to know our own story. Being brave and willing to explore our past is an important stepping stone on the road to understanding ourselves and becoming who we want to be. Research has shown that it isn’t just the things that happened to us that define who we become, but how much we’ve made sense of what’s happened to us. Unresolved traumas from our history inform the ways we act today. The greatest and most important adventure of our lives is discovering who we really are, and standing for that. Yet, so many of us walk around either not really knowing or listening to an awful inner critic that gives us all the wrong ideas about ourselves. It’s not just what happens to us, it’s how we interpret those experiences that makes us who we are becoming. Intentionally step into the strongest and most compassionate version of yourself.

“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” - Aristotle

23/10/2020

This is very fitting with our last two episodes. Have you listened and subscribed yet? If so, what were your thoughts? We’d love your feedback 🤗🍑🧡

21/10/2020

Oh hey Peaches! 🍑 Episode 8 is now live! We tackle the hurdles we’ve faced basically since highschool and how we’ve dealt/not dealt with the trauma. Bex gets deep and gives us an inside look into seeing her Mom die of cancer...man f**k cancer...grab the tissues because man oh man it’s raw and emotional. Thanks so much for your continued support and please share us on Instagram and Facebook - sharing is caring 🤗🧡. Link in bio for latest episodes. Later Peaches!

20/10/2020

Happy Taco Tuesday Peaches 🍑 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🍑

16/10/2020

Such a great article. It ties well into our last couple episodes 🧡🍑

How long is it okay to still experience sadness? When should we get over it? Should we ever? Says who? Why? What does “getting over it” even mean?
