Pressure Makes Diamonds... Or Dust

Today, Tim & LeeAnna dig deep into the messy, chaotic world of people cracking under pressure—because let’s face it, life’s a pressure cooker, and sometimes the lid just pops. It’s the high-stakes world of war, disaster, and every moment that feels like your last nerve is being plucked like a harp string. Can you handle the heat?

Of course, as with all our podcasts, we’ve spared you the soul-crushing ads for that ‘revolutionary’ new makeup foundation that promises to match your skin tone better than ever—because, clearly, we’ve all been walking around with mismatched faces until now. You’re welcome—because we care about your complexion (and your ability to not buy into every glossy claim). And if one of those ads somehow slips through, I swear we didn’t approve it. Just blame it on the algorithm’s love for beauty fads.
