    Get out of your comfort zone

  2. New Year, New You? …Meh.

    EPISODE 2

    New Year, New You? …Meh.

    In this episode, we dive into the weird pressure that comes with the new year — how “fresh start energy” can feel simultaneously exciting and overwhelming, and why “new year, new me” messaging misses the mark entirely. We explore how this season affects your nervous system, how to know what you actually want (versus what you think you should want), and why rest, reflection, and softness deserve just as much space as chasing big goals.

    (Un)follow Your Passion

    We dive into the very real pressure behind passion culture: how it creates confusion, shame, and burnout when your life doesn’t align with a single, shiny, all-consuming capital-P purpose.  We talk about how this idea has been weaponized in both the self-help world and the online business space, and how it often leads to stress, not satisfaction. Listen if you’ve ever: Felt guilty for not being lit up by your workWondered if you’re “wasting your potential”Tried to monetize something you love and ended up resenting itNeeded a break from the pressure to always be “on purpose”Books referenced: Unfollow Your Passion by Terri Trespicio Tiny Experiments by Anne-Laure Le Cunff Dive deeper into a rabbit hole with us!

    You’re either growing or dying

    In this episode of The Rabbit Hole, we unpack the self-help cliché that says: “You’re either growing or you’re dying.” This phrase is all over motivational content, coaching culture, and even business strategy—but is it actually helpful? Or does it just feed the anxiety of never doing enough? We explore how this black-and-white belief oversimplifies the human experience, ignores natural cycles of rest and integration, and pressures us into constant self-optimization. Because sometimes? You’re not growing. And that doesn’t mean you’re dying. This is a must-listen if you’re interested in nervous system regulation, personal growth without the grind, and reclaiming your right to pause without guilt. Listen if you’ve ever: Felt like you should always be improvingJudged yourself for not being in a “growth season”Burned out from chasing self-optimizationNeeded permission to be still, integrate, and just be humanDive deeper into a rabbit hole with us!

    “Happy wife, happy life”

    In this episode of The Rabbit Hole, we’re unpacking the cringey (and wildly overused) phrase: “Happy wife, happy life.” On the surface, it might sound like lighthearted relationship advice. You can almost hear the car salesman chuckle as he pokes your husband in the ribs, saying “Happy wife, happy life, right pal?” Which is exactly the point. This cliché could be taken straight out of a 1990s sitcom. It’s steeped in gender stereotypes, heteronormativity, and the idea that women are emotional landmines best tiptoed around if you want peace. We’ve got thoughts. We’ve got side-eyes. And we’ve got sidequests galore.  Dive deeper into a rabbit hole with us!

    Our hot take on the 5 love languages

    You’ve probably taken the quiz. Maybe you know your partner’s top two. The 5 Love Languages have become a relationship staple in self-help and pop psychology—but in this episode of The Rabbit Hole, we ask: What do they get right, and what’s missing? We explore the nuance behind the Love Languages framework, where it can become rigid, and how it often gets used to assign blame rather than build connection. From religious background to cultural context, we dig into the layers most Instagram infographics don’t. This isn’t about tossing the whole thing out — but after listening you might just want to.

  7. EPISODE 7

    “Your vibe attracts your tribe.”

    In this episode, we unpack the wildly popular personal development phrase: “Your vibe attracts your tribe.” It sounds empowering. Magnetic. Very “The Secret”, circa 2006. But what happens when your need for belonging is reduced to your “energy”? What does “your vibe attracts your tribe” actually mean — especially in a world shaped by privilege, access, and systems you didn’t choose? We explore how this cliché shows up in self-help spaces, online business, and spiritual communities — and why it can quietly reinforce exclusion, shame, and hyper-individualism. This episode dives into the subtle ways high-vibe culture can oversimplify human connection. Dive deeper into a rabbit hole with us!

    Mundane Magic with Molly Donlan: The Science of Everyday Rituals

    In this episode, we’re joined by Molly Donlan to explore her new book, Mundane Magic, and what it really means to bring ritual, nervous system regulation, and grounded spirituality into everyday life. Not the aesthetic, elaborate, crystal-covered kind (unless that’s your thing). The kind that lives in your morning coffee. ...Your nervous system. ...Your trip to the post office. ...Even picking up dog poop. We unpack the myth that spirituality or witchcraft has to be time-consuming or perfect to “count.” Molly shares how small, everyday rituals can reduce anxiety, prevent burnout, and make life feel more meaningful without adding another thing to your to-do list. We also explore: Why “New Year, New Me” energy often backfiresHow aligning with seasonal rhythms creates sustainable changeThe science behind ritual and nervous system regulationThe history of the word “witch” and why it still triggers something in the bodyWhat reclaiming power actually looks like in small, everyday waysThis conversation moves between magic and neuroscience, history and habit, personal agency and collective responsibility.
