  • Why Always Being “Okay” Is Draining You | EP 032
    Jan 14 2026

    Welcome back, Feels Family 💛
    In this episode, Johnny & Lisa unpack the emotional cost of always being “okay” — even when you’re not.

    They talk about the pressure many of us feel to stay positive, strong, and unbothered, and how constantly showing up as “the one who’s fine” slowly drains you emotionally. From people-pleasing and emotional masking to toxic positivity and burnout, this episode explores what happens when you never give yourself permission to fall apart.

    Johnny and Lisa reflect on how being the reliable one, the strong one, or the emotionally stable one can turn into emotional isolation — and why suppressing emotions doesn’t make them disappear, it just delays the impact.

    This conversation is a reminder that vulnerability isn’t weakness, needing support doesn’t make you a burden, and being honest about how you feel is part of emotional health — not a failure.

    Question of the Week:
    Where in your life are you pretending to be okay when you’re not?

  • EMOTIONAL MATURITY EXPLAINED | EP 031
    Jan 7 2026

    Send us a text

    Welcome back, Feels Family — and welcome to the first official episode of 2026. 💛
    In this episode, Johnny & Lisa take a deep dive into emotional maturity — what it actually is, what it isn’t, and why social media has completely distorted the meaning.

    They kick things off with a weekly check-in that turns into a real-life example of emotional growth, reflecting on a New Year’s Eve moment where reactions could’ve taken over — but didn’t. From learning how to pause, regulate emotions, and choose response over reaction, this episode highlights how emotional maturity shows up in real time, not perfection.

    The conversation expands into the difference between emotional suppression vs emotional maturity, why being “unbothered” isn’t the goal, and how emotionally mature people don’t avoid conflict — they handle it with intention. Johnny & Lisa also reflect on the cost of growth, including loneliness, outgrowing friendships, setting boundaries, and learning to stop people-pleasing.

    This episode is honest, reflective, and grounded in real-life application — not internet quotes.

    Question of the Week:
    Where in your life are you learning to respond instead of react?

  • NEW YEAR NEW INTENTIONS | EP 030
    Dec 31 2025

    Send us a text

    Welcome back, Feels Family — and Happy New Year’s Eve. 💛
    In this final episode of 2025, Johnny & Lisa take a step back to reflect on the year that was and intentionally look ahead to what they want to carry — and leave behind — as they move into 2026.

    Instead of a weekly check-in, they open the episode with a yearly gratitude and pride check-in, sharing what they’re most thankful for, what this year taught them, and how they’ve grown both individually and as a couple. From marriage and travel to personal accountability, resilience, and consistency, this episode is rooted in reflection and honesty.

    They dive into the biggest lessons of 2025, including why consistency matters more than intensity, how resilience shows up in the hard moments, and the importance of applying the tools they talk about on the podcast to real life. The conversation then shifts toward intention-setting — not New Year’s resolutions — and defining what kind of people they want to be in 2026.

    This episode is about choosing peace, letting go of old patterns, moving with intention, and learning how to pour back into yourself without guilt.

    Question of the Week:
    How do you want to feel in the upcoming year?
