    Part 1: Are You Busy or Just Distracted? Join the Challenge

    Are you actually busy, or are you just distracted? In this episode, we challenge ourselves to reduce digital distractions and pay closer attention to how we spend our time. What started as an experiment in cutting back on social media quickly turned into a deeper conversation about habits, emotional distractions, intentional living, and why so many of us struggle to sit still. We discuss doom scrolling, attention traps, productivity, self-awareness, personal growth, and what happens when you remove the noise long enough to hear your own thoughts. The results weren't exactly what we expected.

    Unscheduled Thoughts: Jesica Answers Questions

    Welcome to the first Unscheduled Thoughts episode of Life Happens and Then You Die. Jesica tackles three questions that led to some surprisingly honest conversations: • Why do we keep falling back into the same patterns even when we know better?• How do we survive major life changes, grief, and uncertainty?• What are we still trying to prove, and why do we keep looking to other people for validation? From nervous system responses and emotional awareness to people-pleasing, self-worth, and learning to trust yourself, this episode explores the messy reality of growth. No perfect answers. No life hacks. Just an honest conversation about being human and figuring things out as you go. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, uncertain, or like you're waiting for permission to become the person you want to be, this episode is for you.

    Personality Tests, Career Changes & Figuring Out Who You Are

    How much can a personality test actually tell you about yourself? In this episode, we explore personality assessments, self-discovery, career changes, and the sometimes messy process of figuring out who you are when life doesn't go according to plan. We talk about our own personality results, how they show up in our relationships and work lives, and what happened when we stepped away from familiar careers to pursue something different. Whether you love personality tests or think they're complete nonsense, this conversation might give you a new perspective on growth, identity, and change.

    Welcome to the first episode of Life Happens and Then You Die! Before diving into bigger topics, we thought it would be fun to introduce ourselves through a series of random questions.

In this episode, you'll learn a little about who we are, what inspired us to start the podcast, and why we're inviting you along for the ride. Sometimes the best conversations start with the most random questions.
