About this listen

Not crushing it? Neither are we. Mildly Thriving is our laid-back corner of the internet where two millennial women (hi, that’s us) try our best and mostly make fun of ourselves along the way. From daily wins and WTF moments to the weird and wonderful realities of adulthood, we’re sharing honest conversations about what it really means to be mildly thriving. Because honestly? Mildly thriving is thriving enough.

  • Is Making Mildly-Good-Enough Decisions the Secret to Sanity?
    Feb 16 2026

    Send a text

    Ever spend 45 minutes choosing a Netflix show and then just… go to bed? When an article about making “good-enough” decisions landed in Kimberly’s inbox, she felt seen. Understood. Mildly attacked. Naturally, she had to tell Meredith about it… who also felt personally victimized by the concept "good-enough decisions". Together, they unpack why we’re allergic to imperfect choices, why we think every decision will determine the trajectory of our entire existence, and how the radical idea of “good enough” might actually save our sanity. Is it freeing? Is it terrifying? Is Meredith still overthinking it? Yes. If you’ve ever Googled “how to know if you’re making the right decision” at 11:47 p.m., this one’s for you.

  • WTF Is Death Cleaning?
    Feb 9 2026

    Send a text

    In this episode, Meredith and Kimberly tackle the surprisingly morbid (yet oddly satisfying) concept of “death cleaning,” a Swedish tradition that’s basically decluttering… but with consequences. They unpack why inherited stuff is so emotionally loaded, how consumerism turned all of us into accidental hoarders, and why having a will is actually a gift, not a curse. Along the way, they laugh their way through uncomfortable truths about mortality, memories, and the boxes of junk we’re all going to leave behind, all while offering practical ways to make life (and death) a little easier on the people we love.

  • Is Platonic Marriage the Best Idea Ever?
    Feb 2 2026

    Send us a text

    In this week’s episode, Kimberly absolutely rocks Meredith’s worldview by proposing a truly radical concept: platonic marriage. That’s right… two besties, legally married, doing life together… minus the romance. Watch Meredith process this information in real time as they interrogate why society insists marriage is ONLY for lovers and not, say, the person who already knows your coffee order and your weird family. Is it genius? Is it delusional? Is it honestly kind of tempting? Tune in.
