Are you tired of feeling guilty for wanting to stay home on Saturday night? In this episode, I explore the unspoken pressure we all face to have “exciting” weekend plans and maintain an active social image. Drawing from my French perspective, I dive into the cultural expectations around weekend activities: from the dreaded “What are you doing this weekend?” question to the Instagram-worthy brunches we feel obligated to attend.

I’ll share observations about how our relationship with weekends evolves as we get older, moving from the frantic need to be “out and about” to the simple pleasure of staying home with a good book or movie. Is there really something wrong with choosing your couch over crowded bars? Why do we feel the need to justify our desire for quiet weekends? And how does this social pressure differ between French and American cultures?

This episode tackles the art of saying no to social obligations without guilt, the underrated joy of doing absolutely nothing, and why sometimes the best weekend plan is having no plan at all.

Perfect for introverts, homebodies, reformed party animals, and anyone who’s ever felt judged for preferring pajamas over party clothes. Join me for an honest conversation about redefining what a “successful” weekend really looks like and embracing the revolutionary act of staying in.

Because sometimes, the most rebellious thing you can do is simply… not go out.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
