Two Degrees Hotter

this week, we're discussing the things you quite literally could not pay us to do. from running without headphones to sharing a bed with a friend as a fully grown adult, we're making the case for some of our most random, specific, and deeply held boundaries. along the way, we get into type-a tendencies, overthinking, airport anxiety, unread emails, discount code hunting, and the many ways...

this week we’re getting a lil too honest… because the truth is, sometimes the reason we keep ending up in the same situations isn’t just bad luck </3 we’re talking about the patterns we all fall into: procrastinating until things become a crisis, avoiding hard conversations, waiting for the “right time,” and attaching our identity to habits that keep us stuck. but it’s not all doom and gloom bc...
