If You Have Feelings

We're unpacking what guilt actually is, why so many of us carry it, and how it often gets tangled up with responsibility, people-pleasing, and unspoken expectations. From inherited family dynamics to emotional labor we never agreed to take on, this conversation is about learning how to put down what was never yours to carry in the first place.

Fear doesn’t just live in the big moments. Sometimes it’s hiding under anger, perfectionism, avoidance, or that “I’m fine” mask we learned way too young. In this episode, we unpack what fear really looks like in kids… and how much of it we, as adults, are still carrying too. Learn more about and connect with our guest Matthew Lovinger here .

When was the last time you felt genuinely okay? Not “pushing through,” not “running on fumes,” just… okay. In this episode, we’re talking about burnout, the kind that sneaks up on you after months of saying “it’s fine” when it’s absolutely not. We explore why you keep ignoring the signs, what your body’s been trying to tell you, and how to find a way of living that doesn’t feel like absolute sh*t....

We’re taught to chase ‘attractive’ as if it’s a look, a size, or an aesthetic checklist. But what if being attractive has more to do with how deeply you inhabit your own body? In this episode, we talk about embodiment as an emotional experience and how it shifts the way we move through the world, connect with others, and even see ourselves. This isn’t about fixing your posture or buying new clothe...
