Consciously Unconscious

New year, new…chart? This week, we’re diving headfirst into Human Design as Amanda breaks down Jessa’s chart and explains how this self-discovery tool can be your personal cheat code for living a more balanced, productive, and aligned life.We get into the nitty-gritty of energy types; Amanda’s a Projector, Jessa’s a Generator (aka the ultimate match for bouncing ideas and vibes off each other) and we explore how understanding your unique design can shift the way you make decisions, avoid burnout, and work with your natural flow instead of against it.Whether you’re all-in on the woo or think astrological charts sound like cosmic bs, the placebo effect is very real, and hey, if it makes you more self-aware and intentional, that’s a win in our book.

This week, we’re spiraling…in the best way possible. As we enter 2025, we dive deep into the idea that everything exists in cycles: history, nature, your biology, and beyond. From the repetitive patterns of the universe to the ones that sneak into our personal lives, we ask: is it possible to live outside of cycles? Do they always complete themselves?

We’re also spilling on our New Year’s resolutions (spoiler: more trust, less control, and a whole lot of spontaneity), recapping Amanda meeting Jessa’s parents, and getting jazzed about NYE.

Laugh, reflect, and maybe even trust the process a little more with us this week. It’s a fresh start, but like we now know, what goes around comes around.

In this episode, we’re getting existential (again) and asking the age-old question: is the grass really greener, or are we just perpetually stuck thinking the next thing will finally make us happy? Spoiler: happiness isn’t hiding behind a promotion, a soulmate, or a trip across the world—it’s right here in the messy, chaotic, but beautiful now.

Jessa kicks things off by breaking down the ego—what it is, how it works, and YES why it’s  convincing us that happiness is somewhere else, but why it’s useful to participate. We explore how this mindset is so common in your 20s (and let’s be real, your 30s, 40s, and beyond) as we grapple with career choices, relationships, and the pressure to figure it all out.

We unpack why society keeps us stuck in “next thing” thinking and dive into tools and philosophies from Ram Dass, Eckhart Tolle, and The Defining Decade to help ground us in the present. And hey, sometimes you do need to wander down the street and stand on someone else’s lawn …. not to claim it as your own, but to experience it for what it is and realize that your grass is perfectly lovely, if only you’d take the time to water it.

To wrap it up, Amanda breaks down how perception is completely relative…..other people’s opinions of you? Just their own projections. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of comparison, self-doubt, or future-focused anxiety, this episode is for you.

Friendships: the underrated love story society keeps skipping over. In this episode, we’re shining a light on why friendships deserve way more hype… and why they might just be the purest form of love.

Amanda gets real about the art of making friends as an adult, while Jessa spills stories about forming connections while traveling & how the depth of your friendships is basically a mirror for your relationship with yourself. Let’s be honest: healing your relationship with yourself is the ultimate cheat code to better relationships with everyone else- and the world around you.

So, why do we keep prioritizing romantic relationships? And how can we show our friendships the love they deserve? Grab a corpse reviver , your bestie, and hit play.

This week, we’re barely easing into the holiday madness with a mix of pure chaos and a few hard truths. Amanda kicks things off by potentially being pregnant (will have to update next ep?), while Jessa recounts a solo edible-fueled zoo trip that went as tumultuously as you’d expect.

Our Friendsgiving recap is one for the books with gratitude shouting matches, potluck throwdowns, and a noise complaint from a little someone that nearly ended in eviction (honestly worth it).  Quick pivot to Black Friday, where Jessa’s questionable impulse purchase - a sauna for her .... kitchen .... takes center stage.

But beneath the laughs, we dig into how consumerism has hijacked the holidays. Why does showing love have to come with a price tag? And is there a way to escape the capitalist holiday trap?

To round things out, Jessa shares her traumatic late discovery that Santa isn’t real (at 14, no less). A little holiday therapy, a lot of laughs, this one’s got it all.

Is everyone struggling with money right now? In this episode, we talk about our love-hate relationship to money, why we're so obsessed with it as a culture, and what wealth actually means. Jessa shares how her car got broken into last week and Amanda raves about her new lip filler even though she can't chew properly now that they're so big. From google reviews about dining and dashing in Greece, to how we're all just cogs in a machine, listen to this episode if you're wanting to feel better about your $$$ situation. Plus, overpriced cold-brew is the subject of this weeks beverage of the week challenge.

Are labels the vibe or just a buzzkill? In this episode, we break down whether labels connect us, box us in, or just make things way too complicated. From deep dives into Buddhist philosophy to Amanda’s controversial (but all in good fun) suggestion that men should go back to war, we keep it light and reflective. Plus, a four-beverage taste test turns into a chaotic exploration of how labels shape our perceptions…because who knew Wegmans and existential musings could go hand-in-hand?

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses eating disorders, disordered relationships with food, and holiday diet culture. We also use humor and sarcasm while tackling this serious topic, so please proceed mindfully.

Recorded under the grounding Taurus full moon- perfect for releasing old habits and embracing food freedom - this episode is all about rediscovering food as a source of nourishment, connection, and culture. Amanda shares her journey of growing up with an “almond mom” in a quintessentially American household, where food was more function than fun, and how it led to binge eating in college. Jessa opens up about chasing aesthetic trends through restrictive eating, her extreme 11-day fast, and the lingering challenges she faces today.

Together, we unpack the emotional triggers, societal pressures, family dynamics, and how to set boundaries around food conversations that don’t serve your mental health. We explore shifting from emotional eating to intuitive eating and rediscovering the joy in celebrating food as nourishment, connection, and culture.

In Part Two of our love & relationships, we give you a very good lens into our experience with love languages & attachment styles. How these two things are interesting ideologies that sound great on paper, but dissecting how they actually apply in the real world. From an unhinged introduction discussing the rampant norovirus that ran through Amanda’s house and Jessa’s experience with a her 92 year old blind and deaf holistic healer, we break down the way that our nature, nurture, and past relationships shape the way we give and receive love.
