Participation trophies were meant to encourage kids — but somewhere along the way, the lesson may have gotten a little blurry. In this episode, we’re taking a lighthearted look at participation trophies, keeping score (or not), and what it really means to “do your best” as kids grow into adults.

We talk about the difference between internal and external motivation, why effort matters, and how learning to win and lose plays a role in building confidence. From youth sports that don’t keep score to real-world realities like careers, and accountability, we explore how showing up is important — but growth comes from effort, resilience, and improvement.

The 40-hour work week has been the standard for decades — but does it actually make sense anymore? In this episode, we’re breaking down why the traditional work model feels harder than ever to sustain.

We talk about how work has shifted from manufacturing-based jobs to service and information roles, how technology has blurred the line between work and rest, and why productivity doesn’t always match hours worked. We also look at how other countries are experimenting with four-day work weeks and flexible schedules — and what those changes say about the future of work.

This episode isn’t about avoiding work — it’s about rethinking how we define productivity, balance, and a life that actually leaves room to live.

We all love the idea of setting goals — until the pressure kicks in. In this episode, we’re breaking down why traditional resolutions often don’t work and how to create goals that feel realistic, flexible, and actually doable.

We talk about the power of language (why calling something a “goal” feels different than a “resolution”), how fun goals count just as much as serious ones, why learning how to set goals matters, and the importance of celebrating small milestones along the way.

This conversation is about progress, not perfection — and reminding ourselves that growth doesn’t have to be stressful to be meaningful.

Two Gen X queens sit down with a Gen Z guest for a game of Truth or Drink—and things get wild. From dial-up internet and door-to-door encyclopedia salesmen to decoding Gen Z slang, this episode is a hilarious clash of eras.

We blew his mind with tales of a pre-Google world, and he had us questioning everything with his slang and TikTok logic. It’s a laugh-filled, slightly chaotic, and totally relatable conversation about how much has changed—and how much we’re all still figuring out.

Pour yourself a drink and join the generational showdown.

🎙️ Happy Hour – The Unedited Circus 🍻 This episode is what happens when you invite a guest, press record, and completely forget to be professional. Pet peeves fly, customer orders get judged (sorry, not sorry), and the dish pit turns into a soap opera.

And we talk about whatever this season of life is… vague, chaotic, oddly philosophical 🌀

It’s raw, ridiculous, and somehow kind of profound. If you’ve ever nodded like you understand what’s going on (but really don’t), this episode is your spirit animal.

🎧 Listen now and embrace the beautiful mess. Available everywhere you get your podcasts—yes, even on that app you always forget you have.
