    Brutal Honesty vs. Being Nice: Is It Ever Okay to Lie?

    Is honesty always the best policy—or are there times when a little white lie is actually the kinder option? In this episode, we’re debating brutal honesty vs. being nice and quickly realize our morals are… situational. 😂 If your best friend is excited about her birthday outfit and you secretly hate it, do you really need to tell her? What if your friend is being cheated on? Easy—we’re telling. But what if your best friend is the one doing the cheating? Suddenly things get complicated. We also get into whether family should comment on weight gain, whether ghosting is kinder than outright rejection, and where the line falls between honesty, kindness, loyalty, and lying. Because sometimes “I’m just being honest” is helpful—and sometimes it’s just an excuse to be mean. 🎙️ In This Episode: Is brutal honesty actually better than being nice?When is lying the kinder option?Would you tell your best friend they’re being cheated on?What if your best friend is the cheater?Honesty about appearance, weight & uncomfortable truthsWhen does “being honest” cross the line into being mean?Our conclusion? The truth might set you free…but apparently we need the terms and conditions first. 😂 ✨ New episodes every Monday — make sure to like, subscribe, and join the conversation in the comments! ✨ Come hang with us on ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lowestandardspodcast⁠ ✨ Follow us on ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@lowestandardspodcast

    Should Your Partner Be Your Best Friend? | Relationships, Friendship & Independence

    Everyone says you should “marry your best friend”… but does your partner actually need to be your best friend? And if they’re not, who gets the title? In this episode, we’re debating who really gets the #1 spot once you’re in a relationship. Tyerra is firmly Team Girlfriends, while Terri makes it clear that her mom still holds the top spot. Sorry to everyone else involved. 😂 We also get into whether healthy couples need separate friends and separate lives, how much you should tell your best friend about your relationship, and whether venting crosses a line. Because you might forgive your partner…but your best friend remembers everything. Finally, we debate what matters more in a long-term relationship: passion or friendship? Does your partner need to be your lover and your best friend—or are we expecting one person to be everything? 🎙️ In This Episode: Should your partner be your best friend?Who gets the #1 spot in your life?Maintaining friendships outside your relationshipShould your friends know everything about your relationship?Passion vs. friendship in long-term relationships ✨ New episodes every Monday — make sure to like, subscribe, and join the conversation in the comments! ✨ Come hang with us on ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lowestandardspodcast⁠ ✨ Follow us on ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@lowestandardspodcast

    Should Parents Financially Support Their Adult Children? | When Is It Time to Cut Them Off?

    At what age should your parents officially cut you off? Terri says eventually. Tyerra says… never sounds reasonable. 😂 In this episode, we’re getting into the sometimes awkward world of parents financially supporting adult children. Terri raised three strong, independent women who should be able to support themselves—but does being financially independent mean Mom and Dad should officially close the Bank of Parents? We debate when adult children should start offering to pay, whether parents should still pick up the bill when everyone goes out, and where financial help crosses the line into enabling. And when life goes sideways, does the reason you need money matter? Losing your job is one thing. Running up your credit card because you treated “add to cart” like a personality trait? Terri has thoughts. Ultimately, we ask the question a lot of families quietly navigate: When should parents stop financially supporting their adult children—and when will you always be their kid, no matter how old you are? 🎙️ In This Episode: When should parents financially cut off their adult children?Do parents owe their adult kids financial support?Should adult children offer to pay when they're with their parents?Helping your kids vs. financially enabling themShould parents bail their kids out of bad financial decisions?When it’s okay to move back home and ask your parents for helpRaising financially independent adult childrenBecause apparently being a strong, independent woman and still wanting your mom to pick up the dinner bill can coexist. 💅  ✨ New episodes every Monday — make sure to like, subscribe, and join the conversation in the comments!  ✨ Come hang with us on ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lowestandardspodcast⁠  ✨ Follow us on ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@lowestandardspodcast

    Pilates, Strength Training & Fitness: What Actually Works? | ft. Tina

    In this episode, we’re joined by Tina—engineer by day, fitness instructor by night (and very early morning!)—who teaches Pilates and HIIT at some of Toronto’s top fitness studios. We’re talking Pilates, strength training, workout routines, and how to make fitness actually fit into a busy life. Tina shares her take on the “lift heavy” movement, the biggest fitness misconceptions she wishes would disappear, and what aspiring fitness instructors should know before getting started. Plus, we get into balancing multiple careers, staying consistent when life gets chaotic, and her best advice for anyone who finds the gym—or fitness in general—a little intimidating. Because apparently you don’t need to completely overhaul your life to get stronger.

    Mid-Year Reset: Are We Actually Achieving Our Goals?

    It’s time for a mid-year goal check-in… and let’s just say, the results are humbling. We each started the year with three big goals and have officially accomplished one. Progress is progress, right? Meanwhile, Tyerra took goal setting to another level with a 24-goal bingo card—only to discover that apparently making the bingo card was the easy part. 😂 We’re checking in on what worked, what absolutely did not, why some goals quietly disappeared from the group chat, and whether we still have time to turn things around. We wrap things up by choosing one big goal to accomplish before the end of the year—because clearly, we needed to lower the number of tabs open. 🎙️ In This Episode: Our mid-year goal check-inWhat we accomplished vs. what’s still sitting on the listTyerra’s overly ambitious 24-goal bingo cardWhy some goals are harder to stick to than othersResetting our goals without feeling like we failedThe ONE goal we’re committing to before year-end ✨ New episodes every Monday — make sure to like, subscribe, and join the conversation in the comments! ✨ Come hang with us on ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lowestandardspodcast⁠ ✨ Follow us on ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@lowestandardspodcast

    Empty Nest Syndrome: Finding Yourself After Your Kids Grow Up

    The kids grow up, move out, and suddenly the house is quiet. Sounds peaceful… so why are we feeling guilty for enjoying it? 😂 In this episode, we’re getting into the reality of empty nest syndrome, motherhood, identity, and what happens when the role that consumed so much of your life starts to change. Terri shares what it’s like navigating life as an empty nester, while Tyerra gives the adult-child perspective—including whether we actually feel guilty for leaving home. We talk about losing yourself in motherhood, rediscovering who you are outside of being “Mom,” whether adult children are responsible for filling the void, and why this next chapter might be less about an empty nest and more about finally making room for yourself. Because maybe the nest isn’t empty… maybe there’s just finally some space. 👀 🎙️ In This Episode: The reality of empty nest syndromeMotherhood, identity & finding yourself againFeeling guilty about enjoying your newfound freedomThe adult-child perspective on leaving homeShould adult children be responsible for their parents’ loneliness?Friendships, relationships & life after the kids leave ✨ New episodes every Monday — make sure to like, subscribe, and join the conversation in the comments! ✨ Come hang with us on ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lowestandardspodcast⁠ ✨ Follow us on ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@lowestandardspodcast

    Midlife Crisis or Midlife Awakening? | Career Changes, Empty Nest & Feeling Behind

    In this episode, we're asking the question nobody wants to admit they're thinking: is a midlife crisis actually a crisis... or just the moment you realize your life isn't going exactly as planned? We get into what a midlife crisis really looks like today, why so many of us feel like we're falling behind (even when we're not), and whether turning 30 is basically the new version of turning 50. We also put Terri in the hot seat to figure out if she's actually having a midlife crisis—or if becoming an empty nester and changing careers is simply the start of a brand-new chapter. Whether you're questioning your career, your purpose, or just wondering why everyone else seems to have it together, this episode is your reminder that none of us really know what we're doing... and that's oddly comforting. 🎙️ In This Episode: What a midlife crisis really looks like todayMidlife crisis vs. identity crisisWhy so many of us feel behindIs 30 the new midlife?

    Best Movie Recommendations | Our Favourite Classics & New Releases

We're sharing our all-time favorite classics, the three movies we could rewatch forever, and the best films we've seen this year. From nostalgic comfort movies to recent blockbusters, we compare notes, defend our questionable picks, and inevitably judge each other's taste along the way. Whether you're looking for your next movie night recommendation or just want to know which films we think deserve all the hype, we've got opinions—and plenty of them. Because let's be honest... there are two kinds of people: those who rewatch the same comfort movie 47 times, and those who somehow always have something new on their watchlist. 🎙️ In This Episode: Our favourite "oldie but goodie" moviesThe Top 3 movies we'll never get tired of watchingThe best movies we've watched this yearThe films that lived up to the hype (and the ones that didn't)Movie recommendations for your next night in ✨New episodes every Monday — make sure to like, subscribe, and join the conversation in the comments! ✨Come hang with us on ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lowestandardspodcast⁠ ✨Follow us on ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@lowestandardspodcast
