Listen Later

Does following the perfect girl mold actually lead to happiness, or just burnout? In the Season 2 premiere, Maggie sits down with her sister Mae (owner of Binxmajink Nails (@binxmajinx)) to dismantle the Should Trap. From surviving three schools at once to the moment Mae realized she was walking a graduation stage for everyone but herself, the sisters discuss setting boundaries, humbling the haters, and why "looking like a puppy screaming" is the ultimate trick for handling unsolicited advice. If you are reading the transcript just know it might auto-write Mae's name and business name wrong! Link to her Instagram below!

I. Introduction & The Vibe Check

II. Aesthetic as Identity

III. The Journey to Binxmajinks Nails
