🎙️ Welcome to High Frequency, Low Noise. We’re Jarika and Rachel—two unsupervised women exploring the places where science, “pseudoscience,” cultural influence, spirituality, and intuition intersect. We talk feminism, psychology, relationships, culture, wellness, belief, human behavior, and all the strange shit that comes with being a woman in the modern world. We’re spiritual, but we like evidence. We’re feminists, but we’re not here to tell you how to be one. We believe in intuition, but we’re not afraid to examine it. We’re not here to prove anyone wrong or pretend we have all the answers. We’re here to ask better questions, follow the evidence, challenge our assumptions, and explore the space between what feels true and what actually holds up. Expect deep dives, rabbit holes, research, real conversations, and probably a few moments of “Wait… but is that actually true?” High frequency. Low noise. No rulebook. ✨ Keep your frequency high, the noise low, and stay shamelessly unsupervised.

    High Frequency, Low Noise, and "The Truth"

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Episode #1: High Frequency, Low Noise, and “The Truth” In our very first episode, we’re diving into the question that quietly shapes everything else we’ll explore on this show: why do we believe the things we believe, and how much of that is actually true? Ultimately, this episode isn’t about proving anyone wrong. It’s about noticing the moment we stop asking the question altogether. Confirmation bias, algorithms, echo chambers: none of that makes you broken, it just means you have a brain that’s trying to conserve energy. The real risk is mistaking “familiar” for “true,” or “fast” for “intuitive.” Intuition isn’t the enemy of critical thinking; assumption is, and that gap between the two is where we’re going to be spending a lot of time on this show.

    Am I High Frequency Yet?

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Okay, but… what the hell does “high frequency” actually mean? Is it physics? Spirituality? A metaphor? A wellness buzzword? Or are we all just supposed to be vibrating better now? In Episode 2 of High Frequency, Low Noise, we’re getting into what “raising your frequency” actually means—and what happens when science, spirituality, good intentions, and a little bit of b******t start using the same vocabulary. Because we’re all for good vibes. We just have questions! Come get weird with us. High frequency. Low noise. No rulebook. ✨ Stay shamelessly unsupervised.

  3. Episode 3

    Independence is great….Until you need someone.

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! We’re taught that independence is the goal. Be self-sufficient. Handle your own shit. Don’t be a burden. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Need less. Do more. Figure it out yourself. And there’s nothing wrong with being capable of standing on your own. But what happens when “I can do it myself” quietly becomes “I have to do it myself”? In Episode 3 of High Frequency, Low Noise, we’re talking about the complicated relationship between independence, vulnerability, and connection—and what happens when self-sufficiency stops being a strength and starts becoming a defense mechanism. We’re getting into: 🧠 Hyper-independence — why some of us become so determined not to need anyone that asking for help starts to feel almost impossible. 🫂 Vulnerability — why letting people show up for us can feel more uncomfortable than doing everything ourselves. 🤝 Codependence, intradependence & interdependence — and why these concepts aren't interchangeable. 🏠 Community & connection — how we've gone from intensely interconnected local communities to a world where we can be connected to thousands of people and still feel completely alone. 💭 Asking for help — why needing other people isn't necessarily weakness, and why receiving support can be just as difficult as offering it. And we’re asking a bigger question: What if independence isn't the opposite of dependence? Maybe the goal isn't to need nobody. Maybe it's to become independent enough to stand on our own, intradependent enough to understand ourselves, and interdependent enough to know when we don't have to. Because there's a strange contradiction in modern life: we're more connected than ever, but we're increasingly expected to solve our problems individually. Maybe sometimes we're trying to solve collective problems individually. And maybe rebuilding community doesn't mean giving up our autonomy. Maybe it means figuring out how to belong without disappearing—and how to rely on other people without losing ourselves. 🎙️ High Frequency, Low Noise Two unsupervised women. Big questions. Low noise. No rulebook. ✨ Keep your frequency high, the noise low, and stay shamelessly unsupervised.

    Are We Healing, or Avoiding?

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Boundaries. Self-care. Protecting our peace. Cutting people off. Choosing ourselves. Sounds healthy, right? But what happens when the language of healing becomes a really good way to avoid anything uncomfortable? When “protecting my peace” actually means avoiding accountability? When a boundary becomes a wall? Or when walking away feels easier than having the conversation? In Episode 4, we’re getting into the messy gray area between healing and avoidance—and asking some uncomfortable questions about boundaries, accountability, emotional safety, and the stories we tell ourselves when we don’t want to look at our own shit. Because sometimes healing means walking away. And sometimes healing means staying in the room. Are we actually healing… or are we just getting really, really good at avoiding anything that hurts?

    Girl, Be So Serious 10/08/26

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Manifestation numbers. Sleepy Girl Mocktails. Healing frequencies. Mercury retrograde. Divine feminine energy. And apparently, we're all supposed to be detoxing something. Girl. Be. So. Serious. Welcome to our newest recurring segment on High Frequency, Low Noise, where we take the internet's wildest wellness trends, spiritual advice, psychological buzzwords, and questionable life hacks and ask one very important question: Is there actually something to this, or are we being sold another beautifully packaged pile of b******t? We're digging into the science, the psychology, the marketing, and the occasional kernel of truth behind the things the internet swears will change our lives. And, of course, we're putting each claim through our highly sophisticated, completely unofficial "Serious Meter"—from 1 (Girl, be so serious!) to 5 (Okay… this one's legit.). Because sometimes there's real science behind the trend. Sometimes there's a useful idea buried under three layers of influencer marketing. And sometimes it's just someone with a ring light telling us to put cinnamon in our coffee. We're not here to ruin anyone's fun. We're just here to ask, "But is it true?"

    The Attachment-Style Industrial Complex

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Anxious. Avoidant. Secure. Disorganized. Congratulations! You've spent seven minutes on TikTok, and now you've diagnosed yourself, your ex, and that person who left you on read three weeks ago. Attachment theory has become one of the internet's favorite ways to explain relationships. And while there's real psychology behind it, somewhere along the way, we started treating attachment styles like personality types, relationship horoscopes, and convenient explanations for why people behave like assholes. In Episode 6 of High Frequency, Low Noise, we're digging into the actual science behind attachment theory, how our early relationships can influence the way we connect with others, and what happens when useful psychological frameworks become limiting labels. We're talking childhood experiences, relationship patterns, emotional availability, and the difference between understanding someone's behavior and excusing it. Because attachment theory can help us recognize patterns, but it can't tell us everything about a person. And knowing someone's attachment style doesn't mean we know their intentions, their capacity for growth, or whether they're right for us. So, are we using psychology to better understand ourselves and each other? Or are we just getting really good at diagnosing people we haven't actually taken the time to understand? Maybe the goal isn't to figure out which attachment style everyone has. Maybe it's to get a little better at actually attaching.

    Are We Becoming Better People, Or Just Better at Explaining Ourselves?

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! We've spent six episodes questioning everything from intuition and attachment styles to hyper-independence, emotional avoidance, and whether the internet has collectively lost its damn mind. But here's a question we haven't spent nearly enough time asking: Are we actually taking our own advice? In Episode 7 of High Frequency, Low Noise, we're turning the microphones—and the uncomfortable questions—back on ourselves. We're revisiting the conversations we've had, the perspectives we've challenged, and the things we've learned about ourselves along the way. We're getting a little more personal, a little less structured, and pulling back the curtain on what happens behind the microphones. We're talking about the moments that made us reconsider our own beliefs, the conversations that stuck with us long after we stopped recording, and the ways this podcast has challenged us to practice what we preach. Because it's one thing to talk about boundaries, self-awareness, critical thinking, and personal growth. It's another thing entirely to realize you're still doing the exact shit you just spent an hour discussing. And maybe that's the uncomfortable truth about growth: Knowing better doesn't automatically mean we're doing better. So, are we becoming better people? Or are we just getting really, really good at explaining ourselves? We're not entirely sure. But we're willing to ask the question, admit where we're still figuring things out, and maybe laugh at ourselves a little along the way. Because personal growth isn't a finish line. And self-awareness isn't worth much if we're not willing to do something with it.

    Sound Byte: 10/29/26

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Everybody's the main character these days. But who's actually writing the plot? Welcome to Sound Bytes, our newest addition to High Frequency, Low Noise! These bite-sized episodes are 20 minutes of unscripted rabbit holes, questionable tangents, and the occasional existential crisis. We pick a topic, hit record, and see where the conversation takes us. This week, we're talking Main Character Energy. Is romanticizing your life a healthy form of self-empowerment, or have we collectively forgotten that other people exist outside our personal storylines? There's something beautiful about taking ownership of your life, finding joy in ordinary moments, and refusing to be a background character in your own existence. But somewhere between self-confidence and self-obsession, things can get a little weird. Because everyone deserves to be the main character in their own story. The problem starts when we treat everyone else like they're just part of the supporting cast. So, are we learning to live more intentionally, or have we just gotten really good at making everything about ourselves? We're not promising answers. Just a few interesting questions, some laughs, and two shamelessly unsupervised women following a conversational rabbit hole wherever it leads.
