Episode 10 - Letting Go of What No Longer Serves Us – Moving on from Old Habits and People 03.11.2025

Sometimes growing up means realizing that not everything, or everyone, can come with you into your next chapter. In this episode, we get real about release, from old habits and toxic friendships to the versions of ourselves we’ve outgrown. We talk about recognizing when something no longer serves you, the guilt that comes with moving on, and how letting go can actually be an act of self-love. Root...

Episode 9: Balancing Work and Social Life – How We Try (and Sometimes Fail) to Do It All 20.10.2025

In this episode, we talk about what “balance” really means when you live in a city that never stops moving. From juggling work, social life, and side hustles to setting boundaries in a culture that glorifies the grind, we get real about burnout, guilt, and learning to slow down — even when the world around you won’t. This one’s for anyone trying to find calm in the chaos of Brooklyn life. If you f...

Episode 8: Our Mom's Were Right (But We Won't Admit It) 29.09.2025

In this episode, we’re diving into the lessons our moms tried to teach us that we brushed off, rolled our eyes at, or flat-out ignored—only to realize later they were completely right. From friendships and relationships to career choices and everyday life advice, we’re unpacking the wisdom we once resisted but now secretly live by. Expect laughs, a little bit of “ugh, fine, she was right,” and may...

Episode 5: What Worked, What Didn’t, Why Your 20s Matter 08.08.2025

We’re unpacking the wins, the setbacks, and the lessons from our 20s—what actually helped us grow, what totally flopped, and why this decade is so foundational.

Episode 4: Some Bonds Don't Travel Well, Part 2 23.06.2025

In this continuation of our friendship deep dive, we get into the hard stuff—knowing when to walk away. From outgrown connections to energy-draining dynamics, we talk about the quiet signs that a friendship isn’t serving you anymore. It’s not easy, but it’s necessary. We reflect on how to find the confidence to choose yourself, set boundaries, and move on with clarity (not guilt). If you’ve ever s...

Episode 3: Some Bonds Don't Travel Well, Part One 16.06.2025

In this week's episode of Brooklyn Unscripted , we dive deep into the realities of friendship—when to let go, when to hold on, and how to trust your gut (even when it’s yelling at you). What started as a girlhood reflection quickly unraveled into chaotic group trip confessions, Nashville memories, and stories about people who had no business packing that energy in their carry-on. From matchin...

Episode 2: The New York Experience 09.06.2025

In this episode of Brooklyn Unscripted , we talk about what it was like growing up in the city that raised us. From little things that shaped our day-to-day to the bigger moments that stuck with us, we’re reflecting on how our environment molded who we are today. It’s personal, it’s nostalgic, and it’s very New York. If you felt seen by anything in this episode, send us some love or your own story...
