Under Pressure: Finding the Perfect Holiday Gift

If you've ever felt insane stress and pressure around the holidays to come up with the perfect gifts for the people in your life, this episode is for you. This week, we're talking about consumerism culture, the early-onset holiday season, and why finding the 'perfect' holiday gift is kind of a fool's errand. We chat about why having more options to buy from can lead to more confusion, why we have such a hard time buying the items that people tell us they want, and how we can accidentally corr...

It's Time to Break Up With Your Phone

A tale as old as (recent) times: being addicted to your phone. What started as a way to stay in touch with loved ones has ended up as a small pocket computer with hundreds of ways to distract you, from your own photo album to news apps to looking up every single thought you've ever had on the internet. Does it help that so many of us can't even remember a time when we didn't have a cell phone? We'll let you decide. Today, we're digging into why so many of us have an unhealthy relationship wit...

Real Friends Don't Only Call When They Need Something (Friend-ly Advice Pt. 3)

We're back with Part 3 of our Friend-ly Advice series! Have you ever had a 'friend' that you genuinely care about who only contacts you when they want to brag about how amazing their life is, or use you for favors, your connections, caretaking, etc.? We have, and it's a real bummer. So today, we're talking about how to recognize if you're in a one-sided friendship and whether it's worth trying to save. We cover why it can be hard to detach from this type of friend - even if it's loser energy ...

Learning to Accept Your Family for Who They Are

There comes a point in our lives when we realize that our parents and our children are not exactly who we thought they would be - they're flawed, imperfect, and perhaps incredibly irritating, but we have to accept them as they are because the alternative is just being constantly angry and giving ourselves tension headaches and ulcers. And if you're thinking...yes 100% absolutely but how exactly do we learn to accept our family, then get your headphones on because this episode is for you. Toda...

Single As A Pringle And Looking For Love

It feels like these days, dating is harder than ever. Either people met their partner on 1) a dating app or 2) in college, and there's no miscellaneous third option.

Hustle Culture, “Efficiency”, & Why We’re Throwing Away Our Phones

If ever there was a vent sesh episode, today's would be it. We're kicking off a new, totally random segment called 'unfiltered thoughts', where we share our - you guessed it - unfiltered thoughts. We're talking emotional support shirts, laser tag, and packing tape. We have strong opinions on all 3 and so should you, tbh. Then we're getting into the problems with production culture and why we feel pressure to be creating all of the time. Is it because things have gotten easier and we have cons...

Forever 21 Called, They Said Grow Up

Being an adult isn't all it's cracked up to be, which is probably why so many people are holding onto the last time they felt joyous freedom: being in college. The stakes were lower, there were fewer responsibilities, and you existed in a bubble. At some point, we all know we need to put our big kid pants on and grow up...but do you ever feel like you're the only one who did? Today's episode covers why people find the transition from college to adulthood so difficult and the reasons why they ...

Hey Younger Self, Let's Help Each Other Out

Well, one of us is sick and the other is crying to The Lion King again, so you could say we're hanging on by a thread! Anyway... Following the finale of The Summer I Turned Pretty (!!!!!) and Belly's moment of talking to a photo of herself as a child, we felt inspired to talk to our younger selves today - because you don't have to wait until your birthday or NYE to reflect. Getting to know who that person was not only allows us to be kinder to ourselves, but lets us explore how they shaped wh...

If You're Overwhelmed, Please Raise Your Hand

The names Whelmed...Over Whelmed. The world feels heavy at the moment, and when that combines with chaos in your own life, it creates the perfect storm for feeling downright weird. There's a sense of being lost (cut to us throwing our socks in the garbage and packing 2 sandwiches for lunch...listen and you'll understand), being unsteady, and not knowing how to react because there's actually so much to react to. Today, we're brain dumping our own experiences with this and how we attempt ...

You Can’t Stop People From Making Bad Choices

We've all had moments where we want to tell people in our life to stop doing something - being friends with someone we think is toxic, dating someone that we think is undeserving of their love, engaging in bad behaviors that we ourselves have done that ended badly, and, and, and. So what do you do about it? Well... Today we're talking about why you shouldn't give unsolicited advice and why people need to make their own mistakes (easier said than done, we know).

I Bet You Think About Her: The Polarizing Effect of Taylor Swift

We know you were thinking, 'I Wish You Would do an episode on Taylor Swift this week!' Well... You can't deny that she is one of (if not THE) most influential musicians in the world. She has Forever & Always had a thriving fan base, aka the Swifties (of which Joyce is an active member), but the negative sentiment towards her seems to be stronger than with other celebrities. Plus, the haters seem to be ~so casually cruel~ to her fans, which has us seeing Red. With popularity comes criticis...

Confessions of a Millennial Hypochondriac

If Option 2 feels ~familiar~ to you, join us for today's episode as we chat about hypochondria and what it's like to have health anxiety. Starting with the tale of a recent full-scale meltdown involving challah bread, we dig into what kinds of personalit...

The Secret Costs of the Princess Treatment

Ugh, here we go again with another lifestyle trend on social media that got taken way too far and then people absolutely lost the plot! Today, we're dissecting the 'princess treatment', which started as a way to describe being cared for and pampered by your significant other, morphed into a breakdown of what's 'bare minimum' vs. what's 'princess treatment', and then went viral with stories of women refusing to talk to wait staff at restaurants, having their husbands tie their shoes for them, ...
