    We Don't Have a 5 Year Plan - and why we're ok with it

    The 5 Year Plan...a lot can change in five years. Or nothing can change. It's mostly up to you. The idea of creating one can be daunting, and the idea of not having one can leave you feeling behind or unprepared. How do you balance both? At what point are you "done"? When do you rest and enjoy the self improvement and how do you know it's even time? Don't worry. We've been on both ends of that feelings spectrum and with the future five years ahead of us, there's a lot to unpack...here's how to be okay with it.

    They Apologized But I'm Still Hurt

    What do you say when you're not okay after someone apologizes, and how much time is too much time before giving someone space means you aren't friends? There's nothing worse than feeling like you don't know where you stand after you or the other person apologizes, and we dish on all the times we've both given and accepted apologizes and how it changed things (both for the better...and...not) Follow us on instagram @imuncomfortable.podcast

    Your Independence is Actually Hurting You - The Downside of Doing It All Yourself

    Hyperindependent? Same. We’re unpacking how struggling to ask for help is tied to trust and control and what it really means to let people in without losing yourself in the process. For many of us, it’s often less about strength and more about survival. We explore the reasons it’s so hard to let people show up for us, and what it might take to let someone else step up for a change. Follow us on instagram  ⁨@imuncomfortable.podcast⁩

    How to Use Anxiety to Thrive

    Anxiety’s here — might as well make her useful! We’re talking about how to actually listen to the racing thoughts and spirals instead of avoiding them (which, spoiler alert, makes the anxiety worse). From overthinking to overachieving, tune in for honest confessions and a few “wait… that’s actually me” moments. Because maybe thriving isn’t about being calm — it’s about learning from the chaos.

    Why Am I Always the One Who Cares More?

    Are you the planner? The one who follows up with people? The one who cares how the party turns out? The one who is emotionally exhausted from feeling like nobody cares as much as they do? This may be for you. It's easy to take it personally when a friend is visiting your area...and doesn't visit you. Or when you send out a venmo request and they don't reply for 10 days. The truth is, often times, it's not even about you. We get into how to let go of the urge to control and sometimes the need for validation that comes with "caring too much".

    Would You Listen if Someone Warned You About Who You're Dating?

    If someone warned you about the person you're dating, how seriously would you take it? And if you found out a friend's partner was cheating on them or generally being slimy...would you say anything? We share stories from listeners who have gone through exactly that and recall our favorite Jersey Shore plot line #lettergate because in this situation, is it worth it to open your mouth (or write that text)?

    How to Handle Outgrowing People, Places, or Roles in Your Life

    There's a sense of grief that comes with realizing that someone doesn't belong in your life, or that you don't belong in theirs. If you've ever felt uncomfortable going back to your hometown, maybe even like you're in a weirdly small invisible box, you're not alone. Feeling like you've outgrown a relationship or a place or even a role in your life feels like...loss. At the very least, it's deeply uncomfortable. We get into what or whom we've outgrown and how we've dealt with it! Follow us on instagram @imuncomfortable.podcast
