Two friends putting the fun in functional depression!

#16: Worth/Value

Oh hey. We don't mean to be intermittent like this, but depression is a real jerk when it comes to getting things done. This episode, we tackle the difference between the concepts of worth and value - and how to remind ourselves that we are worthy even if what we think we're doing isn't valuable. Plus, we get mad at folks not wearing masks, touch on ambition, and why days that feel like 11am all day are really annoying on the psyche! Enjoy!

#15: What Is Time

Oops. We accidentally took a few weeks off while adjusting to the new normal. Because what even is time right now? Unclear. Anyway. We're here, and we talk about everything from collective grief to wiping down boxes to the 7pm clap that is the only thing that feels like NYC normal right now. Plus: Animal Crossing, virtual game nights, and balancing being a good citizen with taking care of our mental health. What are you doing to keep sane? Let us know. We'd love to hear.

#14: Coronanxiety

What can we even say? It's all awful. Even since we recorded this episode, so much has changed and so much of what was okay is different - so forgive us for having recorded this in the same room. We're #socialdistancing now, and we'll figure it out as we go. Anyway. How are you doing? We're...full of anxiety. And thought that we should probably talk about this unprecedented event in global history. So we did. Here are some of the things we talk about: How To Snap Your Parents Out Of Their Coronavirus Denial Why Are So Many Boomers In Denial About Coronavirus? And some resources: The Actors Fund Robin Hood World Health Organization

#13: Inner Monologues

Julienne found an article saying that not all people have inner monologues. This blew our everlovin' minds - what must it be like to not have a voice in your head telling you you're the worst all day? We speculate, seething with jealousy. Join us!

#12: The Shame Monster

You hear us talk about it a lot, so we thought we'd define and discuss the Shame Monster. The Shame Monster sucks. Like, a lot. It robs us of the ability to be our fullest selves, and that's no fun at all. Join us while we unpack the inertia of shame, the different ways it manifests, and how it makes us feel pointless and unacceptable - among many other things.

#11: Ambition

Happy...New Year? (It's February, has the window of time passed for Happy New Year? Maybe.) Either way: We're baaaaack! And we missed you. It's a doozy this week - diving into the nature of ambition, how much of ourselves we show to the outside world (rather, how much our brains ALLOW us to show), and how hard it is to be in process as humans. We want to know what you think about all this, as it's a topic that is ever-evolving for us. Get in touch and let us know!

#10: Nobody's Grading This

It's our tenth episode! This week: Recent examples of real-life situations where we let our brains get in the way of how we wanted to act, the delicate balance between overt self-promotion and simple sharing on social media, and feeling like somebody's grading your life but you're not sure who. Happy New Year, friends! We'll catch you in 2020. In the meantime, reach out if you need us. We're here.

#9: ...Whatever The End Of That Sentence Is

You know the deep and terrifying existential dread that comes from the most mundane marks of the passage of time, like running out of toilet paper? That can't just be us. Well, we start there and go everywhere - from whatever "better" means to why it's a good idea to have plans after a big interview/audition/date.
