Welcome back to That’s a Choice. I’m your host, Breana Jobin, and today we are talking about a very specific kind of internal crossroads.

I want you to imagine you’re at a party. You’re laughing, you’re hitting the punchlines, you are, by all accounts, the life of the room. But then, it happens. The 'Flicker.' That moment where the music suddenly feels five decibels too loud, your smile starts to feel like a physical workout, and your brain sends a notification that says: Battery at 1%. Please connect to a dark room and a weighted blanket.”

I am an Ambivert, and today, we’re looking at the choices we make when that switch flips, and analyzing why choosing your own energy isn’t a rejection of the world, it’s a strategy for staying in it.

So, grab your headphones, find your favorite corner, and let’s talk about the choice to go quiet.

Welcome back to That’s a Choice, the show where we analyze the moves we make and the vibes we bring home. Today, we’re heading to the bins to talk about the high-stakes world of thrifting—where the prices are low, the energy is high, and the ghosts miiiiight just be included in the price tag.

Then, let's dive into the internet’s favorite drama: The Resell Wars. I’m taking on the "Resell Police" to discuss the ethics of the flip. Is buying a $5 designer find and selling it for a profit a "girlboss" move or a crime? We’re talking about the labor of the hunt, the ethics of the hustle, and why the choice to shop second-hand is more complicated than it looks on TikTok.

In the debut episode of That’s a Choice, we’re diving into the polarized world of book ratings. Why does it feel like everyone is a professional critic these days? I explore why I’m a "gentle rater," the rare times I’ve actually put a book down, and how living with Aphantasia (being "blind in the mind") changes the way I escape into a story. Is my lack of a "mental movie" making me a more relaxed reader, or are we all just being a little too hard on authors who did the one thing we haven't: finished a book?
