You Deserve to Rot – 5 Ingredients for a Quality Rotting Day
It might SOUND gross, but having a "rot" day may just be exactly what you need! "Rot day" seems to have originated as a concept on TikTok, where users share content related to self-care, relaxation, and indulgence. It's essentially a designated day to take a break from the usual responsibilities and activities to focus on prioritizing your well-being and recharge your batteries. We go over a few basic components to help you create the PERFECT rot day and share our own indulgences from a Popeye's meal to yummy smoothies.

Why it's Hard to Balance Having Friends While Being in a Relationship
If you've ever had a friend disappear after getting into a relationship (or if you've been that friend...) you know balancing your friendships and your relationship can be challenging! Who do you prioritize when date night lands on the same night your friends want to hang? How do you manage your expectations of your friend's time if they're in a new relationship, or if they get married? In this episode we respond to TikTok user Kaj Mahal's list of "How to have friends while being in a relationship".
We discuss the idea that one person cannot fulfill all your needs, the importance of retaining your own personality when in a relationship, and important boundaries that need to be set – like maybe not sharing every single thing about your significant other to your whole friend group. Of course, we also dish on our own personal experiences being both the friend in the relationship and the single friend.

Acting Imperfectly vs. Not At All (What to Do When You're Feeling STUCK!)
Sometimes doing something new or scary can feel impossible - what will people think? What if I fail? We get stuck on the "right" way to do something or the "right" choice to make that we actually end up feeling stuck (and doing nothing at all). We get into the clingy "what-ifs", how to face the actual worst case scenario, and ways to take small actions (that may lead to surprising outcomes!)

10 Years Out Of College...Feeling Still 10 Years Behind?
It sometimes feels like college was just yesterday. Other days you realize it isn't as close as it once was. Millennials specifically have faced a lot of L's (losses) in comparison to our parents - from being told our coffee or avocado toast habits are the reason we can't buy a house to college costing 100x more to putting off having kids/getting married because "in this economy!?" When we came across TikTok user @imsadalex 's response to @aimeecarty 's "2 Days Into College" video, we actually cried. We discuss the things we thought we wanted or would have achieved by a certain age, what's important to us now, and get into why the Daily's "It Sucks to be 33" thinks we're experiencing these passing "milestones".
