    Do We Love ... Characters?

    Did you love that for us? A kids’ movie should not be able to read you like this, but here we are. We start with a Winnie the Pooh moment that flips a switch: Rabbit is handing out “jobs,” nobody does them, and the responsibility lands right back on the person who cares the most. If you’ve ever felt like the unofficial project manager at work or home, you’ll know exactly why that scene hits. We talk about personality, boundaries, and what it means when you suddenly recognize yourself in a fictional character. From there, we ride the nostalgia wave into a real conversation about customer service, work ethic, and the 80s and 90s fast food and retail crews who somehow made everything feel smoother and more human. One Burger King stop turns into a bigger question: what changed in training, standards, and the little connections that used to make service feel effortless? We keep it honest, a little spicy, and very relatable if you’ve ever said “if you have time to lean, you have time to clean.” Then we shift into a surprisingly detailed beekeeping update, including a varroa mite check, why you have to sample nurse bees, and how we chose a mite treatment plan with winter coming. We also share a hospital waiting room story that turns into “who’s on first” levels of confusion, plus a straight-talk segment on workplace gossip, union stress, and how to stay grounded when people run their mouths behind your back. Hit play for laughs, real life, and a few “oh wow that’s me” moments, then subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review. What fictional character do you accidentally relate to most?

    Do We Love... Powering Through (pt 2)

    Did you love that for us? Someone can hand you a drink “to be nice” and somehow you end up the villain for not loving the exact temperature, bubbles, or flavor. That tiny moment is where we start, because it perfectly captures what powering through really looks like when your nerves are already fried: guilt, passive aggression, the conversation replaying in your head, and the split-second choice between people-pleasing and setting a boundary. We also bring some joy into it, including a mini vacation that turns into an unplanned mindfulness exercise: a massive re-gifted Lego ship with over 1,100 pieces dumped into three unsorted bags. It’s frustrating, funny, weirdly soothing, and honestly a great metaphor for stress management. We talk about the little rituals that keep us steady, like taking breaks, celebrating wins, and finding comfort in hands-on focus when life feels loud. Then we get more personal about mental health and burnout. Hitting your max coping threshold can be unpredictable: one day a stubbed toe is the last straw, another day you can handle travel chaos until your brain suddenly taps out. We compare the tools we actually use, from grounding and deep breathing to music, cleaning, shutting down, or making the quick call that gets it off your chest. We also reflect on why celebrity deaths can hit so hard, especially when they’re tied to childhood nostalgia and the soundtracks of who we used to be. We wrap with back-to-school and back-to-work energy: missing coworkers (even the dramatic ones), trusting your gut when something feels off, planning outfits to reduce morning stress, and the surprisingly heated world of water bottle rules and cup recommendations. If you’ve ever wondered whether “powering through” is strength or avoidance, come hang with us.

    Do We Love... Coordinating Trips

    Did you love that for us? A canceled flight, a midnight drive through stormy skies, and an airport gate that keeps changing like it’s messing with us on purpose. We start with the week’s reality: we’re in different states, laughing at our failure to coordinate plans, and finding comfort in the tiny details, like why train whistles hit that specific pattern near a crossing. Then the conversation turns toward a bigger, messier question: what do you do when life doesn’t cooperate and you still have to function? We talk social media pressure and the weird expectations placed on content creators, especially the demand to never change. For us, growth is the point, and boundaries are part of staying honest. If someone hates the new direction, they can scroll on, but nobody gets to shame you for evolving. That thread runs straight into travel mishaps and the ultimate “power through” moment: a Delta flight cancellation that forces a reroute to JFK, nonstop delays, and the kind of airport exhaustion that makes you question all your choices, even the good ones like an Iceland trip. From there, we get real about mental health, panic attacks, and how “I’m fine” can be a coping mask. One of us shares an eye-opening asthma appointment where the test results don’t match how it feels, plus we cover upcoming hip surgery plans and the very human need to keep life moving. We close with parenting thoughts on kids leaving for college, co-ed dorm bathrooms, and the pride that comes with watching your kids become capable adults. If you like honest conversation about stress, resilience, travel chaos, asthma health, and parenting through big transitions, hit play, then subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave us a review.

    Do We Love... Iceland

    Did you love that for us? It’s almost 11 PM in Iceland and we can still see the glow on the horizon, which sounds dreamy until you’re trying to convince your brain it’s bedtime. We’re recording from the South Coast and talking through what the midnight sun actually feels like, how we’re handling the sleep disruption, and why Iceland can swing from cozy and normal to slightly eerie in a matter of minutes.  From there, we go full Iceland travel recap: waterfalls that belong in their own category, a glacier sighting, and the black sand beach where sneaker waves make the shoreline genuinely dangerous. We also share a whale watching story that turns into a highlight of the trip, with dolphins playing in the wake and a juvenile humpback that our guide believes hadn’t been documented in Iceland before. And yes, we finally get into puffins, including the wild fact that they can spend months floating out on the open North Atlantic before returning to the same burrow each spring.  Then we eat our way through Icelandic food, from the famous Icelandic hot dogs and lamb soup to a mushroom farm bistro where everything is grown on-site. Dessert deserves its own moment: carrot marmalade, carrot ice cream, and mushroom ice cream topped with local honey, plus the exact scoop strategy that makes it taste right. We wrap with a quick bee update, a little social media chaos, and a TikTok-style Q&A that gets weirdly revealing about who we are.  If you love Iceland, travel stories, wildlife, and honest friend talk, hit play, subscribe, and share this with the person you’d drag along on a last-minute Reykjavik trip.

    Do We Love... Summer time?

    Did you love that for us? A shopping errand becomes a front-row seat to human chaos: a too-tight parking job, a cart tossed like it’s a sport, and the kind of “what is happening right now” moment you can’t look away from. That’s the tone that kicks off our season four opener, where summertime isn’t just a season, it’s a series of tiny adventures that somehow turn into the stories you retell all year.  From there, we jump into real travel prep for Iceland, including airport logistics through Logan and JFK and why “accessibility” isn’t one-size-fits-all. We talk about the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower, the green sunflower lanyard recognized at many airports that quietly signals you may need extra time, clearer support, or a little patience even if you can walk just fine. If you live with anxiety, PTSD, autism, diabetes, or another hidden disability, this part of the conversation is packed with practical insight and hope for smoother travel days.  We also share life updates that feel very us: leveling up in square dancing after an intense plus program, the pure emotional leverage of a three-year-old inviting grandma to swing at “grandma’s playground,” and the frustrating reality of hormone replacement therapy when patches go on backorder and hot flashes come roaring back. We wrap with a summer travel “this or that,” plus a heads-up that we’re getting more active on social media with vacation updates and new content.  If you enjoy funny, honest conversations about travel tips, hidden disabilities, menopause and HRT, family life, and finding joy in everyday moments, hit subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave us a review so more people can find the show.

    Do We Love.... Anniversaries

    Did you love that for us? Anniversaries sound simple until you’re living inside the calendar, the fatigue, and the expectations. We’re closing out the season by getting honest about what we actually enjoy: low key traditions, skipping the restaurant spotlight, and choosing something that feels like us instead of something that looks “correct.” That includes the most important anniversary plan of all, a hot fudge sundae, plus a spirited debate about what makes an ice cream sundae truly great. From there, we zoom out to the everyday stuff that makes a relationship work. We talk square dancing on anniversary weekend, co op PlayStation nights we literally call “let’s go play divorce,” and why a shared hobby can reveal communication habits fast. We also hit the comfort of nostalgia TV, the chaos of pets and mornings gone sideways, and the way lack of sleep can spill into everything, including a night derailed by smoke alarms and the strange feeling that our sleep schedules sync up. We also get practical about work-life balance and self care, especially the reality of never taking lunch at work. We share tactics that can actually help, like accountability lunches, easy meal prep ideas, and setting up a simple lockbox system so you’re not hauling everything back and forth. Finally, we jump into Iceland travel planning and end with a round of Would You Rather questions that tap straight into millennial and Gen X nostalgia.

    Do We Love... Self Care (pt 2)

    Did you love that for us? You can feel it in your body when you’ve been “the strong one” for too long, and we’re not sugarcoating that. We start with some real-life chaos that somehow says everything about modern stress, like showing up to appointments that don’t exist and getting caught in a drive-thru situation that turns basic math into a full-on meltdown. It’s funny until it isn’t, because those moments hit harder when you’re already exhausted. From there, we go deep on self-care for caregivers, caregiver burnout, and the messy middle where you’re supporting a parent, a partner, a child, or all of the above. We talk about Lewy body dementia, disability, chronic pain days, and what it’s like when roles flip and you become the care receiver. That’s where guilt sneaks in, even when help is freely given. We also unpack boundaries in a way that’s practical: letting calls go to voicemail, protecting your time, and getting honest about relationships where the giving never meets the receiving. We end with the stuff that actually helps: the people who make you feel like yourself, the places that reset your nervous system, and the small routines that work even when life is heavy, from a massage to a “do not tell me to hydrate” level of stubbornness. If you’re navigating caregiving, emotional labor, stress management, or just trying to find your way back to you, you’ll hear yourself in this one. Subscribe so you don’t miss next week, share this with someone carrying too much, and leave a review if our self-care talk helps you draw one boundary you’ve been avoiding. What’s your nonnegotiable self-care right now? Eyore is Appalled

    Do We Love...Teeth?

    Did you love that for us? A dentist visit shouldn’t feel like a cage match, but sometimes it does. We start with a very real-life “take two” recording situation and then get into the topic that kicked off the whole conversation: teeth, dental anxiety, and the difference between a provider who rushes you and one who actually pays attention to your body language. Heather shares a rare win for nervous patients: a same-day crown made in about two hours, no repeat appointments, and a dentist who knows when to pause before fear takes over. Then Zia’s week takes a hard turn into an emergency dental appointment where an implant is rejected and has to be pulled, followed by the kind of intense pain that can flip straight into panic. We talk honestly about what that moment feels like, how you cope in public when you’re spiraling, and why “being fine” is not the same as being regulated. From there, we zoom out to the bigger issue behind both stories: why do so many of us feel scolded by the medical system. We wrestle with the question of how much to share with doctors, therapists, and psychiatrists, especially when a casual detail gets written down and comes back as a judgment. That leads into self-care that actually works, like letting yourself decompress after burnout, using support systems without guilt, and learning to accept that small choices add up. We also squeeze in a caregiving check-in with boundary talk and a listener-inspired prompt, then end with the wildest beekeeping update: an official hive inspection that turns up something even experienced beekeepers rarely see. If you’ve ever felt like you’re juggling health, caregiving, and your own sanity all at once, you’ll feel seen here. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review with your best tip for advocating for yourself at the doctor. Eyore is Appalled
