  • Pulling the Band-Aid
    Jan 25 2026

    Pulling the Band-Aid off isn’t comfortable, but sometimes it’s necessary. In today’s episode, we talk about why avoiding confrontation isn’t actually peace. It’s just hitting the pause button on the inevitable. We unpack the difference between choosing calm and avoiding discomfort, how unresolved tension shows up later, and when it’s healthier to speak up even if your voice shakes. This conversation is about honesty, growth, and learning when silence protects you and when it slowly costs you.

  • Healing or Hiding?
    Jan 20 2026

    Send us a text

    In this episode, we talk about the habits, mindsets, and trends that look like healing but quietly keep us stuck. From constant “rest” that turns into avoidance, to cutting people off instead of setting boundaries, we unpack how coping can get mistaken for growth.


    We get honest about discomfort, accountability, and why real healing often feels inconvenient, unglamorous, and slow. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but not actually moving forward, this conversation is for you.

  • How We Waffle It
    Jan 17 2026

    In this episode, we’re tackling the very casual, very not-casual task of explaining the world to our kids while still Googling half of it ourselves. We talk about how making friends as an adult somehow feels harder than filing taxes, and why everyone suddenly needs a shared hobby, a calendar invite, and emotional availability.

    We also get into “waffling it,” aka compartmentalism. You know, putting different versions of yourself in neatly labeled boxes just to survive the week. Work you, friend you, parent you, scrolling-in-bed-at-2am you.

    Then we zoom out and talk about rebranding yourself. Not in a corporate way, but in a real life, soft reset, choosing who you actually want to be kind of way. Letting go of outdated versions, updating your internal mission statement, and becoming the you that feels more honest and less exhausted.

    If you’ve ever wondered how you became this version of yourself and whether it’s time for a refresh, this episode is for you.
