Sarah and Zoe are back, for a no BS back-to-school chat. This week’s episode gets real, raw, and maybe a little “woo-woo.” We dive into the paradox of wanting freedom without responsibility, joy without sadness, and health without discipline—and how the surprising truth is that freedom often comes from structure and commitment. From messy mornings and soft launches to deep reflections on accepting life’s lessons, we explore what it means to surrender control, embrace being wrong, and find growth in the uncertainty. 

We also touch on the pressures of your 20s, back-to-school stress, the weight of societal expectations, and how comparison on social media only fuels the fire. Through stories of silent retreats, unexpected cuddles, and even the power of self-talk, this conversation is about learning to soften into life’s challenges, shift our relationship to stress, and remember that the “season of what you need” can open the door to everything you want.
