Breaking up with toxic cycles (feat. Dr. Courtney Tracy)
This week, we’re getting honest about the patterns we keep, the boundaries we don’t enforce, and the stories we tell ourselves to avoid change.

Do I even like him or am I just bored?
This week, we’re hanging out with one of my funniest friends, Emon, and talking about the kind of crush that turns into a full on spiral. We get into limerence, love bombing, and the quiet power of dating with intention. Because when you lead with clarity instead of fantasy, you take your power back before the crush has a chance to crush you.

Our most insane lore
We wrote down some of our CRAZIEST stories, tossed them in a bowl, and pulled them at random to tell you while we simultaneously got drunk. Literally might have to delete this because you know...digital footprint.
What happens when the people who were supposed to love and protect you become the source of your deepest wounds? Therapist Gabrielle Wells joins us to dive into the reality of growing up with narcissistic or emotionally immature parents—the red flags, the long-term impact, and how it shapes the way we navigate love, trust, and boundaries. Whether you’ve gone no-contact, are still trying to make it work, or just find yourself dissociating at family dinners, this conversation is for you. Because sometimes, “but they did their best” just isn’t good enough.Tools and references from Gabrielle: Gabrielle Wells, MS, Associate Marriage & Family Therapist #142692 Supervised by Briana Ferron, M.A., LMFT #130324You can look into individual and group therapy services with Gabrielle here.Resources on coping with a narcissistic parent: Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal From Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents by Lindsay C.

A pod for the chronically self-aware & dangerously honest by Chloe Madison with Alexa Losey.
From over-explaining to overthinking, it’s easy to get caught up in what doesn’t serve you. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to. Unbothered is where we get brave enough to stop being considerate in situations where we're not considered, unpack the “why” behind our behaviors, rewrite old narratives, and finally say what we wish someone had said sooner—with zero shame, a splash of wit, and maybe a cocktail in hand.
