  • 56. Princess Treatment & Feminine Energy
    From "feminine energy" dating tips to refusing to tie your own shoes - we're unpacking how Princess Treatment content is actually political messaging in a pretty package.In conversation, we tackle:* The TikTok video that sent us over the edge: a woman who won't speak to waitstaff or check in for reservations* How "feminine energy" morphed from dating advice into political messaging* Why Princess Treatment might actually be a suppressed kink masquerading as lifestyle content* The pipeline from "light a candle and relax" to "I don't tie my own shoes"* How this content strategically targets single women and makes them feel "not woman enough"* The real cost of romanticizing a time when women couldn't have credit cardsWE ARE NOW ON SUBSTACK with bonus episodes, pep talks, episodes guides, and so much more!

  • 55. No Isn't Always a Complete Sentence: Boundaries Part 2
    When did "no is a complete sentence" become the ultimate boundary flex? In this episode, we're unpacking why this oversimplified advice might actually be hurting your relationships.In conversation, we tackle:* Why "no is a complete sentence" works for sexual boundaries but not for declining dinner plans* The uncomfortable truth that closer relationships require more explanation (and that's actually healthy)* How rigid boundaries are creating lonelier people who wonder why they feel disconnected* Why flexibility in boundaries is a strength, not a betrayal of yourself* How to tell when someone deserves an explanation vs. when they've lost that privilege* What to do when family members bulldoze your boundaries (spoiler: it's not just saying "no" harder)This episode is for anyone who's tried to implement TikTok boundary advice and ended up feeling more isolated than empowered. Because sometimes the most revolutionary act isn't cutting people off—it's learning how to stay connected while still protecting yourself.WE ARE NOW ON SUBSTACK with bonus episodes, pep talks, episodes guides, and so much more!

  • 54. How to Combat Misinformation with Matthew Facciani
    Today we chat with misinformation researcher Matthew Facciani, PhD to explore the psychological factors behind how we process information in our increasingly polarized world. From social media algorithms to the comfort of echo chambers, we dive into why challenging our beliefs feels so threatening and what we can do about it.In conversation, we discuss—* The evolution of "misinformation" from a psychology research term to a polarizing concept in today's media landscape* The concept of "social identity complexity" and why having separate, independent identities makes us more resilient to misinformation* Signs you might need to fact-check a piece of content* The "pre-bunking" approach to misinformation resistance and why it works better than debunking* Why some people are soooo into conspiracy theories* Practical ways to strengthen your resistance to misinformation while maintaining your core valuesMatthew Facciani, Ph.D., is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Notre Dame. His research focuses on media literacy, misinformation, social networks, political polarization, identities, and artificial intelligence.
