  1. What Women Carry: "That's The Life of a F*cking Woman, Buddy!"

    2D AGO

    What Women Carry: "That's The Life of a F*cking Woman, Buddy!"

    In this Women’s Month special, the conversation took us somewhere we didn’t expect. What started as a discussion about womanhood turned into one of our most vulnerable episodes yet. We share personal stories about the realities many women quietly carry, including moments where our safety was taken out of our hands. It’s a raw and honest conversation about the weight of being a woman in the world today. This episode is about telling the truth, supporting each other, and acknowledging the realities women face on a day to day basis. If you’ve ever felt alone in your experiences, we hope this conversation reminds you that you’re not. Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions of sexual assault, grooming, and drugging.

    Birthday Depression: "I'm Turning 28...That's Almost 30!"

    This episode drops on Marisa's birthday… and we’re talking about birthday depression. Why does one single day have so much power over us? Why do we feel so much pressure to make it unforgettable? In this episode, we unpack the weight birthdays can carry. If you’ve ever felt the ache of another year gone by, or the pressure to perform joy on your own birthday, this one’s for you.

  3. Parasocial Relationships: "They Don't Know You Exist"

    FEB 26

    Parasocial Relationships: "They Don't Know You Exist"

    Be honest ...who are you a little too invested in? This week we’re talking parasocial relationships: the fine line between harmless admiration and… let’s say, concerning attachment. Social media has made access to celebrities and influencers feel intimate, immediate, and constant. We’re questioning whether having a parasocial relationship is basically unavoidable now. We get into why we’re so quick to judge public figures, why we assume money and fame erase real problems, and what makes us feel so entitled to every detail of someone’s life. Do we actually know these people , or just the curated highlight reel they’ve chosen to share? If you’ve ever defended, dragged, obsessed over, or felt personally connected to someone who has no idea you exist… this one’s for you. Sip of the Week: Hot Mocha Follow the pod!

    A few weeks ago we celebrated the oddly specific things that bring us joy… and this week? We’re flipping the script. In this follow-up to our Niche Things We Love episode, we’re diving into the tiny, irrational, hyper-specific things that grind our gears.  Sip of the Week: Shaked Salted Pink Lemonade For 2 servings: Juice of two lemons Juice or one small orange Juice of half of a ruby grapefruit A splash of maple syrup, coconut cream & a pinch of salt.

    Love Languages: "I Saw This Muffin and I Thought of You"

    It’s our Valentine’s Day special, and we’re diving headfirst into the five love languages. In this episode, we break down each love language, what it really looks like in real life, and how learning them has helped us better understand ourselves and the people we love. We also share our own love languages and how we tend to give love, how we feel most loved in return, and why those preferences matter so much when it comes to feeling secure in relationships. Whether you’re deep in love, navigating dating, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, this episode is an invitation to reflect on what makes your heart feel truly full!

  6. Art That Changed Us: With Blaine Christopher

    Art That Changed Us: With Blaine Christopher

    This week, we’re joined by special guest Blaine Christopher of Blaine’s Book Club for a deeply reflective conversation about the art that changed us. We talk about the characters, books, pieces of writing, and creative projects that helped us see ourselves more clearly, and ultimately shaped how we understand and make art today. Along the way, we open up a new chapter for the podcast, discussing queerness for the first time: what it’s like to exist within a small but deeply affirming community, the hope for broader acceptance, and how these identities can inform your creative life. We also explore the idea of gender as a social construct, and how questioning what we’re taught can be both grounding and expansive. A thoughtful, honest episode about recognition, belonging, and the art that gives us language for who we are.

  7. Decisions, Decisions: “I Had a Priest in My DMs”

    Decisions, Decisions: “I Had a Priest in My DMs”

    This week, we’re talking about making hard decisions. The quiet ones, the uncomfortable ones, the ones you don’t always see coming. Not just the obvious crossroads life throws at you, but those moments when something starts to feel out of alignment, and you can’t ignore it anymore. We dive into financial choices, relationship shifts, career moves, and the inner knowing that tells you it’s time to change even when it’s scary. These are the decisions you may not want to make, but deep down, you know will serve you in the long run.
