Jacquelyn is back to comment on a yet another internet debate - whether or not it is okay to bring an iced coffee to an interview. However, this debate seems less about iced coffee and more about the mutual respect between employers and potential candidates. Jacquelyn explains her reasoning for this, talks about why the job market has become frustrating for some, and gives her personal take on the...

This month, Jacquelyn and Aiden each read 5 books! In this episode, Aiden explains what plot armor is, Jacquelyn talks about how Off Campus is a bit too spicy for her, and special guest Marissa rants about Mr. Beast's new book. 

Jacquelyn has returned with another episode (and don't worry, she's not talking about books for once). Emotions are very complex. Many of us may know this, but in the moment it can be easy to forget. In this episode, Jacquelyn talks about the phrase "feelings are not mutually exclusive," how having mixed emotions can help build resilience, and more. 

No surprise, Aiden has read more books than Jacquelyn. On a positive note, she is out of her reading slump! In this episode, they talk about the books they read this month, pushing through reading books you don't like, *possibly* attempting to read a book in 24 hours, and more. 

Aiden has returned to the podcast once again! In this episode, Jacquelyn and Aiden discuss how classic books are becoming popular again, litslop, and the importance of owning physical media. 

It's Fine is back!!! Apologies for the hiatus, but Jacquelyn is happy to be back. In this episode, Aiden has also returned for another book report episode.

Aiden has returned to the podcast for another book report episode! They discuss the books they read in June, page-maxing, and more

I'm so happy to be back this week! There's been a lot going on in my life over the last fews weeks, so I apologize for missing the last few weeks.  I've been struggling with the concept of discipline over the last few years - how to motivate myself to be disciplined, how much is too much, what should I ever be disciplined about, etc. Recently, I've heard a few quotes and had a...

Jacquelyn and Aiden are back with another episode!!! Each of them only read one book this month... They also talk about why they are in a reading slump, when they think the unofficial start of summer is, why Jacquelyn never read the fantasy book Aiden gave her, and more. So far, Jacquelyn has read 14 books and Aiden has read 13.  P.S. apologizes for missing last week. Jacquelyn was struggling with...

Aiden has joined the podcast once again! Jacquelyn and Aiden both love to read, so they decided to discuss one star reviews of books they love. Despite them disagreeing with most of the reviews, it's hard not to laugh at some of the outlandish things people say about these books like The Great Gatsby, The Summer I Turned Pretty, Jurassic Park, and more. 

Romance novels have been one of the most popular genres for a while now - yet it seems that this genre gets a lot of unnecessary hate. It's kinda ironic that it gets so much hate while we are currently living through what some call a dating recession. Jacquelyn talks about this romance books hate, why reading is good for us, why some believe we are currently dealing with a "dating crisis...

Aiden has returned to the podcast to talk to Jacquelyn about the books they read this month! Jacquelyn is still reading lots of romance books, Aiden didn't fully understand The Great Gatsby, they talk about an awesome book idea, and more. So far, Jacquelyn has read 13 books and Aiden has read 12 this year. 

There's been hot girl summer, brat summer, and now...serious girl summer?  In this episode, Jacquelyn talks about her hopes for the upcoming summer, how it might be time to get serious about your goals, why constantly talking about your goals might be a bad thing, and more. 

Sorry for the episode being late! Jacquelyn took this as an opportunity to remind you (and herself) that when things feel overwhelming or you have an unmanageable to-do list, getting at least something accomplished is better than nothing at all. 

Many people are lonely nowadays, but I think sometimes we forget how important acquaintances can be in our lives. In this episode, Jacquelyn reads a story a listener sent us highlighting someone in her community and highlights how what is referred to as "weak ties" can have major positive impacts on our lives. 

In the current world, it feels like our attention is fragmented more than ever - but just how much does it impact us? We can't change how the world works around us, but what can we change to improve our focus - and our lives? Jacquelyn discusses what attention fragmentation is, talks about how it impacts us, and questions ways we can lessen how much our attention is fragmented each and everyd...

It's time for another book report episode! So far, Aiden and Jacquelyn have both read 9 books this year. In this episode, they discuss the three books they each read this month.  P.S. sorry I missed releasing an episode last week! Hope to get back on track lol

It's crazy to think that tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of It's Fine! It's been a pleasure to create this podcast over the last year, and thank you to everyone who has listened to it. Jacquelyn reflects on the last year of creating this podcast and talks about how you can create your own. She also discusses the importance of creating things in general - especially in this d...

They always say "facts don't care about your feelings," but do your feelings really care about facts? Jacquelyn investigates this idea using concepts like persuasion, confirmation bias, and the illusory truth effect. She tries to determine if facts can really change our feelings - or if we sometimes find ways to twist the facts to justify our feelings.

It's once again time for another book report episode! Aiden read two books and Jacquelyn read three, so now they are tied at six books a piece for 2026. They discuss what books they read this month, what they look forward to reading, and whether or not they will stop reading a book if they don't like it.  PS - After doing some research, Jacquelyn realized that Emily Henry has written 10...

Heyyyyyyy! Jacquelyn is back from her week long staycation! She took a full week off of work to relax, reset, and reflect. Sometimes, giving yourself a break can allow you to reflect more clearly on your life. She explains what a staycation is and why she loves them, talks about the importance of reflection and doing things for the right reasons, and how taking breaks is crucial for being "pr...

No, I don't think so. However, Gen Z has become the first generation in modern history to be dumber than the previous generation. The main reason? Most suspect their excessive screen time. Jacquelyn talks about this, the Gen Z reading crisis, and how it's important for people to build a healthy relationship with technology, whatever that looks like for them. 

Jacquelyn's been going through a tough time, but she thinks she's finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Her biggest problem? Most likely her mindset. She talks about this, how making small changes matter greatly, why it's silly to quit your goals, and more. 

It's time for the first book report episode of the month! Aiden will be joining Jacquelyn each month to discuss the books they read and see who can read the most books by the end of the year.
