Me Second

Ex therapist/ client duo who thought either: A- we're geniuses who can navigate humanity or B- we're both exceptionally delusional, and resemble trash tv. You judged us, didn't you? Seeee - we can help with that. As Rachel always says: "Two things can be true at once" and Quel always says, "Delulu is the Selulu." Rachel is a Licensed Therapist, and Quel is a Philosopher, who is also Rachel's ex-client. We're profound thinkers, but cope with the weight of reality with banter and probably yelling or crying, but hey- we're human. We want to show how to debating is an art, not harm. xxoo

    Ep. 10 IDENTITY

    https://linktr.ee/MESECOND Who are you if you strip away your job, your relationship, your hobbies, your beliefs—even your memories?That question drives this episode of Me Second, as Rachel and Quel try to figure out what actually makes you, you.We use words like personality, identity, authenticity, and “self” almost interchangeably—but are they really the same thing? And how much of what we call our identity is actually something we chose versus something we inherited, absorbed, performed, or learned to become?We dig into the different layers of self, rank the traits and experiences we believe have shaped us most, and debate whether childhood, trauma, genetics, relationships, values, or our own choices ultimately have the biggest influence on who we become.The conversation explores:-Personality vs. identity—and whether healing can change your personality without changing who you are-The “borrowed” parts of ourselves we pick up from family, relationships, work, religion, politics, culture, and social media-Why labels can feel validating at one point in our lives and restrictive at another-The tension between authenticity and belonging-The inner child and the versions of ourselves we continue carrying into adulthood-Intention vs. perception—and whether other people get to define who we are-How much of ourselves can change before we stop feeling like “us”And because this is Me Second, somehow a conversation about personality eventually leads to death, consciousness, and one of the biggest identity questions there is: if everything that makes you “you” disappears, what—if anything—is left?Along the way, we also get into accountability, resentment, manipulation, and the stories we tell about what has happened to us. At some point, understanding how you became who you are has to meet another question: who do you want to become from here?Maybe identity isn’t one fixed thing. Maybe we’re a collection of selves—some chosen, some inherited, some borrowed, some outgrown, and some we’re still trying to understand.Come think with us. You don’t have to agree.

    STALK US EVERYWHERE ❤️‍🔥 Most of us walk around with hidden fears—fear of being misunderstood, of vulnerability, or even of death itself.

In this chaotic yet profound episode, Quel and Rachel explore the wild terrain of self-awareness, the paradox of suffering, and the eerie beauty of mortality that unites us all. Brace yourself for a raw, unfiltered dive into topics that most avoid: the power of acceptance, the universality of death, and the liberating act of radical honesty. From the importance of understanding why people love or dislike us—sometimes even asking, "What do I really deserve?"—to unraveling the mysteries of fate versus free will, this episode challenges everything you've been told about pain and resilience. You’ll discover how embracing your struggles can propel you toward genuine self-love and how confronting our deepest fears might be the most radical act of kindness we can offer ourselves. Together, Quel and Rachel break down how suffering amplifies life’s richness—how pain creates contrast that highlights what it means to truly feel alive. They explore the concept that death isn’t to be feared but honored, and that there’s a sacredness in facing our mortality head-on. If you’re craving truth, humor, and a journey into the depths of human existence, this episode is your invitation to embrace life's chaos and find beauty in every broken piece. Perfect for anyone questioning the nature of reality, grappling with loss, or simply seeking a raw, honest exploration of what it means to be human.
