    Release Us From The Shackles

    In this episode, we dive into the modern mindset of our generation, where the desire for options often outweighs the idea of settling down with one partner. We explore how the hustle for independence and the fear of commitment are reshaping relationships, and why some people tend to lean away from focusing on emotional stability, career growth, and building a solid foundation for the future. Get ready for a candid discussion on how we plan to prioritize our wants, and what we decide to do to better our own lives. 💬 Enjoyed the episode?

    The Cake That Started The Chaos | UAlbany Chronicles

    College friendships are all fun and games… until they’re not. In this episode of Cleared, we’re taking you back to our UAlbany days to tell the wild story of how we fell out with girls we thought were our friends. One minute, we were cool—the next, we were this close to throwing hands. And to think… it all started with an uneaten cake. Tune in for the real tea on fake friends, college drama, and how we learned to move differently after this mess. 💬 Enjoyed the episode?

    Stop Running!

    Hey everyone, it's Lena! I’m so excited for you to get to know the real me! As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that I often distract myself from facing things I’d rather not confront. Whether it’s a small issue or something deeply personal, I tend to run from it instead of dealing with it. So, come along as I dive into my personal life and explore why I always feel the need to juggle a million things at once. Am I afraid of missing out on opportunities? Do I get bored easily? Can I even sit with my own thoughts? If you’ve ever wondered about any of this, or if you’re someone who loves cramming your schedule to the max, then we’re probably on the same page! Let's try facing our problems head-on, and giving ourselves room to clear our minds.

    Screaming, Yelling, and Still Mad

    Hi everyone, it’s Aleah! I’m going solo for this episode of Cleared, and we’re getting personal. Over the years, I’ve struggled with how to handle conflict—whether it’s ghosting people who’ve hurt me or yelling when I finally decide to speak up. But here’s the problem: neither approach has left me feeling at peace. In this episode, I’m unpacking my journey with closure, including a recent apology that left me furious, a string of conflicts with my college circle, and the hard truth that even when I scream and yell, I still end up mad. If you’ve ever struggled with letting go, standing your ground, or figuring out what closure really means, you’re not alone. Let’s figure it out together.

    I'm A Grown Woman

    Welcome everyone! This week we are diving into the realities of turning 25 and embracing our grown woman era. The days of “unofficial relationships,” casual booty calls, and commitment-phobia are behind us—or at least, they should be. We’re reflecting on what it means to raise our standards, demand respect, and stop settling for situations that no longer serve us. From setting boundaries to recognizing red flags, this candid conversation is all about leveling up in our dating lives and leaving the nonsense in our early 20s where it belongs. Tune in as we get real about navigating love, self-respect, and what it means to finally step into our grown woman energy.
