    Episode 10 - Letting Go of What No Longer Serves Us – Moving on from Old Habits and People

    Sometimes growing up means realizing that not everything, or everyone, can come with you into your next chapter. In this episode, we get real about release, from old habits and toxic friendships to the versions of ourselves we’ve outgrown. We talk about recognizing when something no longer serves you, the guilt that comes with moving on, and how letting go can actually be an act of self-love. Rooted in our Brooklyn upbringing, we unpack what it means to soften in a city that teaches you to hold tight, and how walking away can sometimes be the strongest thing you do. If you felt seen by anything in this episode, send us some love or your own story. This space is about real connection — and we want to hear your voice too 🤍 Support the show Follow us on social media 🩷 @BrooklynUnscripted on all platforms 🎙️

    Episode 9: Balancing Work and Social Life – How We Try (and Sometimes Fail) to Do It All

    In this episode, we talk about what “balance” really means when you live in a city that never stops moving. From juggling work, social life, and side hustles to setting boundaries in a culture that glorifies the grind, we get real about burnout, guilt, and learning to slow down — even when the world around you won’t. This one’s for anyone trying to find calm in the chaos of Brooklyn life. If you felt seen by anything in this episode, send us some love or your own story.

    Episode 8: Our Mom's Were Right (But We Won't Admit It)

    In this episode, we’re diving into the lessons our moms tried to teach us that we brushed off, rolled our eyes at, or flat-out ignored—only to realize later they were completely right. From friendships and relationships to career choices and everyday life advice, we’re unpacking the wisdom we once resisted but now secretly live by. Expect laughs, a little bit of “ugh, fine, she was right,” and maybe even some appreciation for the moms who knew better all along.

    Episode 4: Some Bonds Don't Travel Well, Part 2

    In this continuation of our friendship deep dive, we get into the hard stuff—knowing when to walk away. From outgrown connections to energy-draining dynamics, we talk about the quiet signs that a friendship isn’t serving you anymore. It’s not easy, but it’s necessary. We reflect on how to find the confidence to choose yourself, set boundaries, and move on with clarity (not guilt). If you’ve ever struggled with letting go, this one’s for you.

    Episode 3: Some Bonds Don't Travel Well, Part One

    In this week's episode of Brooklyn Unscripted, we dive deep into the realities of friendship—when to let go, when to hold on, and how to trust your gut (even when it’s yelling at you). What started as a girlhood reflection quickly unraveled into chaotic group trip confessions, Nashville memories, and stories about people who had no business packing that energy in their carry-on. From matching cowboy hats to emotional growth, we're unpacking what it really means to protect your peace and choose the right people to travel—and grow—with. This is part one of a two-part convo because, honestly, we had too much tea to spill for just one episode. Subscribe, share, and don’t forget: the vibes better be as good as the queso.
