    Ep. 606: Learning to Let Things Go

    Life is s****y to us in one way or another, no matter who we are or what we try to do to prevent it. It is, however, our choice on what to do about the shittiness. Blaming others, giving up, or leaving weird hate comments on Facebook isn’t going to make the pain of our pasts go away, so we have to own them and heal them in whatever ways we can. Maybe that looks like going to therapy, maybe it looks like doing ayahuasca in the jungle, or maybe it looks like getting plastic surgery in Vietnam. We’ve tried all three, Besties! The method doesn’t matter, just as long as we learn to accept what is and let things go when it’s time. Our hair journeys [0:58] Danny J’s psychic reading [7:13] Why are Facebook comments so nasty?

    Ep. 605: Quiet-Quitting Your Marriage

    We’ve heard of quiet-quitting when it comes to work, but what about quiet-quitting your relationship?—not really leaving, but not putting in any effort beyond the bare minimum either. We saw something recently that claimed many women over 40 are quiet-quitting their marriages. Nothing good comes out of apathy or resentment, and it seems to us that this is where the seeds of infidelity get sewn. We’d be the first to tell you that marriage isn’t always sunshine and roses, but the way we see it, if you’re unhappy you should try to do what you can to make it work, and if it ain’t working then don’t hold someone else captive to your unhappiness. Life is going to suck in any situation, so might as well make the most of it, rather than staying put in a situation you hate.

    Ep. 604: Navigating Holiday Arguments

    The holidays are around the corner and with visiting family inevitably comes arguing with your weird uncle about some insane thing happening in the news. There’s a time and place for walking away from discussions about politics—we can recommend this action highly—but maybe there’s a time for you to engage, too. All of us are more alike than we are different, and when we lead with curiosity and truly listen to others, finding common ground (and peace!) is possible, too. Unless the person you’re talking to is insane. We can’t help you there. No one likes a control freak [5:07] There’s some crazy news every day [9:19] When holding your tongue feels impossible [12:09] A battle of morals and self-righteousness [15:17] When to call it out and when to leave it alone [20:06] Actually listening to a different perspective [23:59] We’re more alike than we are different [26:55] It’s okay to keep your distance, too [28:12] Subscribe to The Lighthouse Letters https://dannyjdotcom.substack.com/ Don’t forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

    Ep. 603: Life Is Too Short Not To Celebrate

    Today, Jill and Danny dive into everything from TikTok earworms and the chaos of keeping up with new platforms to Danny’s new “50 First Dates With Myself” challenge that has completely reignited her creativity and joy on social media. Danny shares how the idea was born, her experience returning to TikTok after years away, and how her first official date set the tone for a year of intentional, elevated solo experiences. Planning meaningful dates matters in both single life and long-term relationships, and when you raise your standards with yourself, they naturally raise for what you expect from others. That’s why carving out novelty, play, and effort is essential for feeling alive—in love, in life, and in how you show up for yourself.

    Ep. 602: Going On 50 First Dates

    Last week we talked about Jill’s big news, so this week we wanted to share Danny’s: she’s dating again! Except there’s one big catch—Danny is dating herself. No more waiting around for a man to go try new foods or do fun things, she’s going to take herself. And it’s not just doing activities alone, she’s dating herself with intentionality and presence. Connecting with others is always great, but connecting with yourself is everything. Going on 50 First dates [1:02] Why wait for a man to do the things you want to do?

    Ep. 601: The Courage to Love Again

    Our girl Jill is married! For our OG Besties, you know what a wild ride it’s been—we started this podcast before Jill even met her now husband. We all couldn’t be happier for her, or more proud of her for having the courage to trust in love again. Of course, Jill’s wedding was beautiful and perfect, and we thought since our Besties have seen Jill through it all, you deserved to know how the day went, too.

    Ep. 600: Replacing Human Relationships with AI Bots

    There are some studies coming out that show young people—especially boys—are turning more and more towards AI for relationships instead of their peers. Yikes. Me are already lonely, and we think it has a lot to do with porn, technology, and social conditioning. If they’re outsourcing companionship to AI bots, it seems like it can only go down from here. We need real human interaction to build real human social skills, right? All we can say is good luck to the parents out there.  The problems with turning to AI for companionship [3:35] Our brains are changing, in a bad way [7:21] Men have fewer emotionally fulfilling relationships [9:30] Why don’t men have friends?

    Ep. 599: Boss Babes vs. Trad Wives

    It’s somehow the era of the Trad Wife—at least on Threads and Twitter—and it seems like all the former Boss Babes are hanging up their blazers and turning them in for aprons. But does it really have to be just one or the other? We want to live soft lives, too, but we love working and getting shit done! Everyone has different goals for their lives, so while some women may be opting for a more “traditional role,” lets leave some room for all the others who want something else. Do strong women want to be “led”? [6:01] We got shit to do [9:19] Not everyone feels the same way [13:09] Time has hardened us more than we’d like [16:08] It’s hard to leave the past in the past [20:49] There are always strings attached [22:34] A rebellion against hustle culture [27:03] Subscribe to The Lighthouse Letters https://dannyjdotcom.substack.com/ Don’t forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!
