    52. Cheaters, Cheating, & Being Cheated On (Story Time)

    Grab a snack for this tea. Chaos seems to favor Miss Solita -- the other day, something happened to me that was so mind-boggling and absurd, it reminded me of the most difficult time in my life. Spoiler alert: men ain't shit! Or are they...?

    51. The Paradox of Time, Choice, & Possibilities

    Fun fact: I wrote this episode a whole ass year ago only to end up never recording it, falling victim to the very topic I wanted to discuss. Having an abundance of something can feel comfortable -- but it can also mean appreciating less of what we have. I came to the realization that having an overwhelming amount of time, choice, and possibilities meant that, more often than not, I didn't use these resources to their fullest extent. It even felt like the more that was available to me often equated to not having enough.

    50. Therapy is Actually Really Hard

    If you told little me 50 episodes ago that I would finally be in long-term therapy, she would start levitating. Perhaps she would even start to double dutch like Corbin Bleu in Jump In! (2007). But half a year into therapy, I've realized that the road to healing trauma is way harder than I initially thought. It's not some magic potion that will solve all of my problems overnight (although antidepressants don't sound bad to me). It's a slow, drawn-out process that has caused me to confront a lot of uncomfortable emotions and sit in them for a while. So let's talk all about therapy!

    49. Media in Foreign Languages: Kdramas & Korean Men

    After watching the second season of Squid Game, Miss Solita fell in love with Korean men and fell down the rabbit hole into the world of kdramas. Let's talk about exploring a world outside of our comfort zones: consuming media and content in foreign languages. While subtitles aren't always going to be 100% accurate, the universal human experience transcends language barriers, and discovering foreign media can introduce brand new perspectives and knowledge.

    46. Emotions vs. Intelligence & a Little Bit of Politics

    How do we define intelligence? As quoted by Spencer Shay (Jerry Trainor) in the original iCarly series, "I may be an idiot, but I'm not stupid." Gauging my own intelligence has always been an insecurity of mine, especially as of late. This week, let's talk about debates and arguments, emotions and fact, and how Charlie Kirk is an annoying ass h**. Plus, a little tidbit / rant about politics and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. :) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_kathietorres/ Twitter: https://x.com/y2kathie

    45. Making Adult Friendships & Social Anxiety

    Friendships are single-handedly some of the most important relationships we will ever have in our lives, but as we get older, the harder they are to make. This week, let's talk about various types of friendships, how these connections come and go in different points of our lives, and how social anxiety can be a huge impediment for meeting new people.
