The Be More Podcast: Are You Awake Yet‪?‬ Brittany & Maria

This week, Maria gives a synopsis of the previously discussed “The Retrievals” podcast from the NY Times’ Serial Productions, and Brittany asks the loaded question: are there good and bad people? Feel free to let us know your thoughts and thank you to our previous, recurring guest/listener/good friend Monica for helping us with the title of this week’s episode!

This week, Brittany discovers her favorite genre of ASMR, her tolerance of needles, and her love for muscles. And we’re not saying people that have bulked up muscles but just… muscles. Also, Maria talks about the new season of the NY Times podcast Serial, which is called “The Retrievals,” which goes over some unfortunate events that went down in the Yale Fertility Center.

We’re back! On Mondays now! This week, we get back together to catch up on how our summers have been going, how turning 30 has been mind boggling, and how we’ve just been trying to maintain. Thanks for sticking around!

This week, we talk about AI (or we attempt to). Brittany tells Maria that there are people that are voluntarily putting microchips in them for convenience, and of course opinions are shared. Would y’all get a microchip implanted into your body?

This week, we initially didn’t have anything to talk about but then Brittany’s body malfunctions and the watergates opened with no regard. Thus, a conversation about crying and the pros and cons of it occur. If you need to cry, go for it - we encourage it, actually.

Hello, we’re back! This week, we briefly talk about this constant need for communication and how this can burn someone out. Then we dive into what makes a good person. What does a “good person” mean and what characteristics do these people have? More importantly, do the good people in your lives set boundaries with you or do you notice that you deem them as “good people” because they will always help you out? Tell us your thoughts!
