    Pulling the Band-Aid

    Send us a text Pulling the Band-Aid off isn’t comfortable, but sometimes it’s necessary. In today’s episode, we talk about why avoiding confrontation isn’t actually peace. It’s just hitting the pause button on the inevitable. We unpack the difference between choosing calm and avoiding discomfort, how unresolved tension shows up later, and when it’s healthier to speak up even if your voice shakes. This conversation is about honesty, growth, and learning when silence protects you and when it slowly costs you. Support the show

    Healing or Hiding?

    Send us a text In this episode, we talk about the habits, mindsets, and trends that look like healing but quietly keep us stuck. From constant “rest” that turns into avoidance, to cutting people off instead of setting boundaries, we unpack how coping can get mistaken for growth. We get honest about discomfort, accountability, and why real healing often feels inconvenient, unglamorous, and slow. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but not actually moving forward, this conversation is for you. Support the show

    How We Waffle It

    Send us a text In this episode, we’re tackling the very casual, very not-casual task of explaining the world to our kids while still Googling half of it ourselves. We talk about how making friends as an adult somehow feels harder than filing taxes, and why everyone suddenly needs a shared hobby, a calendar invite, and emotional availability. We also get into “waffling it,” aka compartmentalism. You know, putting different versions of yourself in neatly labeled boxes just to survive the week. Work you, friend you, parent you, scrolling-in-bed-at-2am you. Then we zoom out and talk about rebranding yourself. Not in a corporate way, but in a real life, soft reset, choosing who you actually want to be kind of way. Letting go of outdated versions, updating your internal mission statement, and becoming the you that feels more honest and less exhausted. If you’ve ever wondered how you became this version of yourself and whether it’s time for a refresh, this episode is for you. Support the show

    The Weight That Women Carry

    Send us a text This solo episode is a real and honest conversation about the weight women carry every day. The emotional load, the unspoken responsibility, and the constant pull to fix, manage, and hold everything together for everyone else. I talk about how easily we take on other people’s burdens and make them our own, and how being labeled the “problem solver” can slowly turn into pressure we never asked for. I also unpack how the line between caring and controlling can get blurry, even when our intentions are good. You can love deeply, support fully, and still allow others the space to figure things out on their own. Not every problem is yours to carry, and not every situation needs you to step in. This episode is a reminder that it’s okay to release what isn’t yours, to step back without guilt, and to redefine what healthy care really looks like. Support the show
