    Ep. 64 - I Said "I Guess" to My Entire Future | Graduating, Feeling Lost, & Starting Over

    Okay so you just graduated, and instead of feeling excited, you feel lost. The structure you knew and were used to for 18 years is now gone, and nobody, absolutely nobody could have prepared you for how heavy that freedom can feel. This week, Amadeo and Enrique go back to the summer that changed everything and started it all. One of us hit the ground running, one of us drifted between two words: "I guess." Whether you're already packing for the dorm or you're sitting in your childhood bedroom wondering what's next, this is the conversation we wish we had back then. Your next chapter starts now. Congratulations. Submit your stories on email or Instagram DM. We read every single one.

    Two Languages, Two Personalities | Leaving Home to Sell Soup | Rachel Gutierrez | Pozolazo

    You speak two languages. You're also two different people. That's a tough thing to explain to people who only speak one. Beyond that, you left everything comfortable behind because something within you knew there's more to life than being comfortable. Funny enough, that's where life begins. Now you're somewhere new, building something real, and wondering if the person you were when you got on the plane is the same one that landed. Rachel Gutierrez left Guadalajara at 28 to become the face of Pozolazo, her family's business bringing authentic, instant pozole, menudo, and birria from Jalisco, Mexico to bellies across the USA and eventually the world. Rachel talks code-switching, imposter syndrome, making friends from scratch in your late twenties, dealing with judgement and hate comments, and why her mom's advice — "You've already got the no, so work for the yes" — changed everything. Plus: community stories on cooking as a love language, red flags in relationships, and a pasta trick we still don't believe is real. 🛒 Try Pozolazo!

    Stuck at 20, Stuck at 27, Stuck at 30

    You're 20 and sneaking out of your own house because your parents still treat you like a kid. You're 27 and haven't gone a day without thinking about the ex you dated for four months over three years ago. You're 30 with a house, a paycheck, and absolutely nothing to look forward to. You're sitting in a meeting that should've been an email wondering if this is really all there is. This week's community episode covers six real stories from people who feel completely stuck. Our boy Isaac from the Good Friends Podcast joins us once again to give us a fresh take. Have a story? Hit us up on Instagram or email.

    Your 20s are a Lie. Stop Waiting for Your Life to Start | Ep. 59

    You're 24. You're 27. Maybe you just turned 30. Somewhere along the way, somebody said your twenties would be the best, most important years of your life. Maybe you were promised a dream job, the love of your life, and everything would figure itself out. So why does it feel like you're running out of time? In this episode, we tear down the fantasy we were sold about our twenties, the pressure to "have it together," the nostalgia trap, and what it actually looks like to stop waiting for your life to start. It already has. Have a story? Hit us up.
