Recorded  June 13, 2022 Here's the thing. We totally appreciate the sentiment behind making Juneteenth a holiday. We know it was an attempt to acknowledge and support Black people in America. The thing about American holidays though, is that, as a rule, holidays will be commercialized and in the case of Juneteenth, the commercialization is not  uplifting. We honestly think it would have been bette...

Recorded  May 9, 2022 If there is one thing I got from this episode is that adulthood involves navigating a lot of anxiety producing situations and that it would have been nice to have invited a therapist on the episode to describe healthy ways to address the issues we unearthed.

Recorded May 2, 2022 Comparison is the Thief of Joy. Everyday that we scroll through social media (as just one example) we expose ourselves to the potential for it. Social media is an easy example. The issue is cultural. It's the American way to want to keep up with the Jones' or should I say the Kardashians. Rather than succumb to the temptation to determine our worth in comparison to others, we...
