Can’t Handle It

The gravitational pull towards a sense of community and belonging has vast psychological impacts on our daily lives. In this episode, we discuss how the definition of community has changed over time and talk about what it might look like in its many forms. Our differences may be many, but our collective experiences allow us to connect and fill our cups physically and mentally. Building community involves putting yourself out there, which can be intimidating, but it's worth it. And if, at first, you don't succeed, try again! There is something out there for everyone. 

This week’s episode is about toxic friendships, serving no one since forever! We talk about some key indicators of these strained relationships, the importance of boundaries needed to reclaim your peace, and what a functioning friendship should look like.

This episode is all about being thankful, and we are so incredibly grateful for all of you listening. Holidays can be stressful but shift your perspective. What are some traditions you look forward to? Take a step back and let gratitude take center stage. We hope your week is filled with love and laughter!

In this fun episode, we catch up a bit about recent happenings and then talk all things elder millennial! From calling your friend's house and having to chat with their parents to revisiting favorite childhood shows, we break down funny things that show our age and make us sound (and sometimes feel) like we're 90 years old. 

In this episode, we have fun chatting about what we'd tell our younger selves if we could go back in time! Giving ourselves more grace, having more fun, and taking things less seriously all definitely come to the forefront. 

We'd love to know what you would tell YOUR younger self if you could, so send us a DM or tell us in the comments on our latest IG post @canthandleitpodcast 

How do you show up for yourself and your family while extreme suffering and crises exist outside your reach? With so much going on in the world, we acknowledge the privilege of being able to share how we process current events. These times call for holding space for one another and the pain that fellow humans are experiencing everywhere. What ideals do we want future generations to uphold? In the absence of nothing, empathy is always a great choice.

"Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another." – Alfred Adler. 

We are BEYOND excited to introduce you to your new co-host, miss Adeoti 🥳! In this episode, she talks about why she decided to join Lauren on Can't Handle It and how excited she is to connect with all of you! 

Just a quick note: we recorded this episode before recent current events and decided to update it with a separate intro to hold space for the heaviness in our world.  Our hearts are with everyone impacted, and while we're so thrilled to announce the launch of the updated podcast it just didn't feel right to do that without acknowledging what's been going on. 

We love each and every one of you and appreciate you being here with us 💕

This week, as fall makes its appearance, we talk about transitions, pivoting and life changes. Natalie shares somes news and we both highlight the importance of doing what's best for well-being, your relationships and your life in general.

**Apologies around the 40 minute mark for a little bit of difficulty on the audio side! It will fix itself after a minute or so.**

This week, we chat all about how difficult it can be to establish, build and nourish female friendships. Growing up with the rise of mean girls culture and toxic female friend groups seen on TV, we haven't had it easy! Listen this week to hear what Lauren and Nat have to say about it all! 

This week, we chat all about our favorite items we loved when our girls were newborns. We also chat a little bit about preparing for Natalie's baby #2 and how, quite honestly, it's just as terrifying as the first time around.
