    7. How We Ground: Self Care In Real Life

    If you’re over the cliché #SelfCareSunday posts or the one-size-fits-all self-care talk, you’re in the right place. We’re diving into the raw side of feeling good, sharing our go-to practices that go beyond the cucumber eye patches and salon pedi’s. These rituals might not always feel amazing in the moment - but we tolerate the sting of waxing, the prick of micro-needling, or the vulnerability of therapy all in the name of feeling good! Tune in to learn about our favorite “painful” (but effective) approaches to beauty, mental well-being, and genuine self-love. And we’d love to hear what’s yours!

    2. Plot Twist: We’re Actually Planning Our Lives

    Ready for a reality check? In our second episode of “Like, Why Us?,” we’re giving you the behind-the-scenes scoop on the feedback from our very first show, plus a little fashion flashback into the unique (and questionable) uniform that made everyone ask, “Where did you find THAT!?” But the biggest reveal? Bianca’s decision to ditch the scramble for a love life and focus on crafting an intentional one—complete with a “Things To Do Instead of Trying to Find a Boyfriend” list that’s equal parts hilarious and inspiring. From stepping outside comfort zones to tackling that to-do list of dreams, we unpack what it really means to plan a life you actually want (and not the one you think you’re supposed to have). It’s a dose of real talk, laughs, and a healthy amount of referring to “intentional living”!

    1. Love Thy Neighbor: Our Unexpected Story of Making Friends as Adults

    Welcome to the very first episode of Like, Why Us? In this episode we dive into how adult friendships can form and the sometimes weird, sometimes wonderful ways they unfold in real life. If you've ever wondered or struggled to make adult friendships in this world where everyone’s a little too busy and a little too guarded - this story is for you. In “Love Thy Neighbor,” we share how two complete strangers—Elsje and Bianca—became best friends by living one floor apart in a VERY old yet loved apartment block. Spoiler alert: A persistent neighbor, an adorable dog named Babes, and the invitation for a late-night slice of milktart played a major role in this success story. How could she say no to that!? We reveal the early bumps (and furniture fails) that led us to create a genuine and supportive bond—proving that adult friendships can happen in the most unexpected ways. If you’ve ever felt it’s tricky building a community in your 20s or 30s—or have just wondered if your next best friend is literally right upstairs—this episode is for you. Expect genuine laughs, honest lessons, and most of all -  a whole lot of neighborly chaos.

(Just like Elsj, they'll probably hate you for it and ask ‘why me’ -  but you never know...)
