    Loving Yourself Is Uncomfortable

    What if loving yourself isn’t empowering — but uncomfortable?In this episode, we unpack why self-love feels hardest in the seasons where we’re still figuring things out. We talk about identity, playing it safe, second-guessing our decisions, and how fear, regret, and comparison shape our self-image as women. This conversation challenges the idea that self-love is confidence or perfection, and reframes it as trust, permission, and staying on your own side — even when it’s uncomfortable. If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you are and who you think you should be, this episode is for you.

    Adult Friendships Are Hard

    Adult Friendships Are Hard — and no one really prepares you for that. In this episode of Should We Unpack This, we’re unpacking what it really looks like to maintain friendships in your 30s. From trying Bumble BFF to make new friends, to navigating evolving relationships as life changes, careers grow, and priorities shift — adult friendships can feel complicated, emotional, and sometimes lonely. We reflect on friendships from our youth, the people we’ve known for years, and how some friends have been part of every chapter of our lives. We also talk about the reality of allowing certain friendships to fade away — even when nothing “bad” happened. If you’ve ever wondered why making friends as an adult feels so difficult, questioned whether you’re doing friendship “wrong,” or felt nostalgic for the ease of past connections, this episode is for you. ✨ Join the conversation and let us know: how have your friendships changed as you’ve gotten older?

    New Year, New Me - Are We Over It?

    New Year, New Me — Are We Over It? Every January comes with the same message: it’s time to reset, reinvent, and become a “new” version of ourselves. But where did that idea actually come from — and is it still serving us? In this episode of Should We Unpack This?, we’re unpacking the origins of New Year’s resolutions and how they’ve evolved from communal promises rooted in accountability into modern-day pressure to fix ourselves. We reflect on how we’ve approached the beginning of a new year in the past, the expectations we’ve placed on ourselves, and how our perspective on resolutions has shifted over time. We talk about hustle culture, productivity, self-improvement, and why January can feel more stressful than motivating. Plus, we explore alternatives to traditional resolutions — like intentions, values, and letting go of the idea that growth has to start on January 1st. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, behind, or disconnected from the whole “new year, new me” mindset, this episode is for you. 🎙️ Listen in and let’s unpack it together.

This conversation is for anyone rethinking their relationship with work and asking themselves what a “successful life” really means.

    Is this self care or just survival?

    Is this self-care… or are we just trying to survive? In this episode of Should We Unpack This?, we unpack what self-care really looks like in adulthood and how it’s evolved from what we once thought it was. We talk about the less glamorous but necessary forms of self-care: booking doctor and dentist appointments, prioritizing therapy, moving our bodies, and learning when rest is non-negotiable. From spa days and massages to workouts and full-on bed-rot days, we explore the balance between caring for yourself and simply getting through the week. This episode is for anyone navigating burnout, emotional exhaustion, or redefining wellness in a season that requires more maintenance than magic.
