Leveling up isn’t always what we think it is. Sometimes it starts with small shifts—what we eat, what we wear, and the boundaries we decide to push past. In this episode of Exploring Thoughts, we talk about what it really means to level up in our current season of life. From changing our wardrobes and lifestyles to being more intentional with meal planning, habits, and daily choices—we unpack how growth often requires letting go of yesterday’s limits. This is a conversation about outgrowing old versions of yourself, honoring where you are, and choosing better—not perfect.

Season 3 starts with a simple truth: your nervous system has a budget.We’re talking burnout, overstimulation, boundaries, and the “withdrawals” that drain your energy long before you snap. Plus: the window of tolerance, dysregulation, and how to start investing back into yourself.

In this episode, we talk about how fast time moves, why being present matters more than pressure, and why “new year, new me” doesn’t actually work. Instead, we’re leaning into same you, better choices — choosing growth without erasing who you already are.

On this week’s episode, it’s time to slow things down for a real-life check-in! We explore our highs, lows, lessons learned and the Stop/Start/Continue mindset inspired by Mel Robbin’s. Discovering why waiting for the “perfect time” is the fastest way to stay stuck and creating an imaginary “positive garland” while also enjoying another fun holiday mini game!

The holidays can be a lot… but they can be beautiful, too. In this episode, we talk about seasonal depression, grief, family tension, and burnout—but also the magic, nostalgia, soft moments, and tiny rituals that help us feel grounded again. Think of this as a warm hug and a reminder that you’re allowed to protect your peace and enjoy the season.

We’re talking screen time, social media, and why we’re all a little addicted. Join us as we explor our thoughts on doom-scrolling, comparison, and how to be more intentional with your phone, your time, and your energy—plus journaling, gratitude, and a few therapeutic gut punches along the way.

Who are you when the lights are off, the filters are gone, and no one’s watching?

In this episode, we take an honest look at the quiet side of self-growth — the versions of ourselves we’ve outgrown, the ones that still linger, and the constant evolution of who we’re becoming.

Our first-ever Halloween Special! Join us as we and our very 1st special guest, Kristen as we share spooky memories, play a blindfolded sensory game, and debate horror icons like Freddy, Chucky, and Samara. 👻 Cozy chaos, candy, and laughs all around!

This week we’re asking the question that lowkey broke our brains. Between Melly’s “rules for surviving yourself,” horror-movie logic, and imagining what our own book covers would look like, this episode somehow went from cozy chaos to deep reflection real fast.

We dig into the weird ways we hold ourselves back, what it actually means to reprogram your thoughts, and why happiness might not need a reason after all.

Come with us as we explore our thoughts on rewriting your story, breaking survival mode, and the strange comfort of overthinking everything — plus how one shift in thought can change everything.

When your thoughts feel stuck on repeat, how do you press pause and take back the playlist? In this episode, we unpack what it means to notice the tracks looping in your head, how to skip the ones that drain you, and what it looks like to choose thoughts that actually keep you moving forward.
