Cool In Real Life

In this episode, we catch up like we always do — two friends sitting down to talk about what’s been going on in our lives and what’s been happening in the world. This episode is a mix of real-life updates, random thoughts, and current events we couldn’t ignore.

Each year, we carve out time to have a honest and vulnerable conversation centered around our mental health. In this episode, we discuss what the past year has brought us emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. We navigate how our mental health has shifted, various lessons we’ve learned, and things that we’re still working through. Mental health is full of ebbs and flows; we’re just here trying to process it. Whether you’re in a season of healing, growth, or simply just trying to stay afloat, we hope that this conversation is a reminder that in our own personal and special way, we’re in this together—you’re not alone.
