What happens when you stop obsessing over your bank account and start investing in the one asset that actually scales—you?

Welcome to Help, We Started a Podcast!—a brutally honest and slightly uncomfortable deep dive into the weird relationship we all have with money, self-worth, and chasing success without losing your soul (or your Spotify password).

We won’t tell you to skip lattes, start a dropshipping empire, or believe your way into a Lambo. Instead, we’ll talk about how personal growth is financial literacy, why your skill set is your real currency, and how to stop being emotionally overdrafted even when your balance is fine.

Whether you’re broke, building, or somewhere in between, this is your weekly permission slip to learn, laugh, and level up—without the burnout.

Ever feel disappointed because someone didn’t do what you silently assumed they would? Welcome to the exhausting world of expectations — those invisible contracts you never told anyone they signed. In this episode, Judge Ryan takes you on a no-fluff, no-mercy deep dive into why tying your happiness to other people’s actions is a losing game, and how to walk away from it without becoming a cynical hermit.

We’ll unpack the hidden weight of expectation, the unexpected freedom of letting go, and the power of building a life driven by your own purpose — not someone else’s approval. You’ll learn how to stop keeping score, protect your energy, and create a personal operating system that runs on your own fuel. All served with a healthy dose of sharphumor, unfiltered truths, and the occasional sarcastic jab (because enlightenment should be entertaining).

If you’ve ever wanted to stop waiting for people to “do better” before you can feel at peace, or you’ve been curious about what life feels like when you expect nothing but still live fully, this one’s for you.

In this episode, you’ll be forced to confront an uncomfortable truth: the most important person in your life will turn out to be… you. (Yes, you. The one currently wearing socks with slippers.) You’ll drag your partner, your kids, your parents, your best friend, and your crush off the emotional pedestal, and you’ll find out why pinning your entire well-being on them will end about as well as building a dream house on Jell-O.

You’ll learn how strategic self-interest will make you a better human for everyone else, why “boundaries” will stop sounding like a bad word, and how to put yourself first without becoming the human version of a traffic jam. Along the way, you’ll get called out for your questionable fashion choices, be reminded to drink water, and finally be given permission to eat the good chocolate before anyone else gets to it.

By the end, you’ll stop seeing self-prioritization as selfishness and start treating it like what it is: basic maintenance for the one engine your life runs on. Because if you burn out, the rest of the show stops — and spoiler alert: no one’s auditioning to play you better than you can.

Some people journal. Some meditate. And then there are those of us who stage full-blown rom-coms in our heads starring people who barely know we exist. Welcome to the cinematic universe of our delusions, where crushes always text back, breakups have perfect background music, and public love confessions happen in the most inconvenient yet romantic locations.

In this episode, Ryan teams up with Jera, the self-proclaimed CEO of Delulu, to spill all the tea on imaginary boyfriends, fake anniversaries, and those oddly specific “meet-cute” scenarios we’ve all rehearsed in the shower. From beginner fantasies (“married in my head”) to advanced plots involving amnesia, dramatic make-ups, and Netflix adaptations of our fake love lives — nothing is off-limits.

So buckle up… or don’t. In delulu land, seatbelts are optional and the playlist is always OPM love songs at full blast.

Warning: Side effects may include uncontrollable giggles and texting your bestie, “This is so us.”

You’ve got the emotional antennae of a superhero — sensing vibes, reading rooms, and decoding feelings like it’s your day job. But when it’s your turn to be heard, the signal drops. Why are you so damn good at understanding everyone else, yetso often left feeling invisible? In this episode of Help, We Started a Podcast, we unpack the gift and curse of being the emotional Wi-Fi everyone taps into — and explore how tofinally get your own connection back. Ready to stop running on empty? Tune in and let’s get real.

Tired of chasing that elusive 'big happy' that always seems to be just out of reach (or comes with too many strings attached)? Judge Ryan is here to tell you that happiness isn't a grand prize; it's hiding in plain sight, disguised as yourperfectly toasted bagel.

In this witty and wonderfully sarcastic soliloquy, we dive into the surprisingly profound art of appreciating life's "micro-moments." Forget scaling Mount Success – we're talking about the joy of finding a matching sock, or a green light when you're late. Discover why our brains are terrible at spotting these tiny delights, how to rewire your joy sensors, and why this seemingly simple shift is actually the most effective strategy for not just surviving, but genuinely enjoying this whole 'being alive' thing.

Prepare for some uncomfortable truths, a few laughs, and maybe, just maybe, a newfound appreciation for the utterly unremarkable.

Let’s cut the fluff. The Law of Attraction isn’t your cosmic delivery service—it’s a mirror reflecting who you are, not what you beg for at 11:11. In this episode, we go beyond the Pinterest version and dive deep into what it really means to attract the good stuff: fulfilling experiences, meaningful relationships, and inner peace that doesn’t depend on payday.

You’ll learn why becoming > wanting, how to audit your alignment, and what it actually looks like to shift your frequency in the middle of a messy, modern life. If you’ve been trying to manifest change but still feel stuck, this is your invitation to stop scripting your future and start embodying it.

Less “wish list,” more who you are when no one’s watching.
Let’s realign—because the universe isn’t listening to your words. It’s vibing with your energy.

Ever caught feelings, freaked out, and vanished like Batman after a bad date? Same. In The Anatomy of Emotional Whiplash, we dive headfirst into the chaotic minds of those who want connection but treat intimacy like a haunted house—terrifying, confusing, and somehow always requiring an escape route.

This brutally honest episode breaks down the avoidant heart: the hot-and-cold texts, the sudden fade-outs, the inner dialogue of someone who loves deeply but runs even faster. If you've ever ghosted someone and grieved them at the same time, this one's for you.

Welcome to Help! We Started a Podcast—where we dissect the messiest parts of modern love with humor, heart, and just enough emotional damage to keep it interesting. Buckle up, buttercup. Emotional whiplash starts now.

Not all exhaustion comes from a long day—sometimes it’s a long conversation with the wrong person. In this episode, Judge Ryan flips the switch on emotional energy. Are you constantly recharging people who never return the favor? Or worse—are you the one unknowingly draining the room?

We’re talking about real energy—not caffeine or crystals, but the quiet, invisible current between humans. From One-Up Leecher types to spotlight stealers, this episode maps out the power dynamics hiding in our daily interactions. And don’t worry—no one’s canceling anyone (yet). This is less witch hunt, more mirror check.

Plug in if you're brave enough. It's time to audit your power sources.

This episode dives headfirst into the brutal, messy truth of why you're still stuck, perpetually living in the "almost." We're tearing down the insidious notion of "potential" – that quiet curse leaving you never quite arrived. If your digital life is a graveyard of half-baked brilliance, get ready to confront the real reasons why your brain chases dopamine spikes from new ideas instead of building actual, sustainable progress.

We'll expose procrastination for what it truly is: grief in a wig, a quiet funeral for the version of you who was "supposed to be there by now." This isn't about quick tips or more productivity hacks you'll abandon; it's a hard, honest look at the underlying "belief problem" beneath your ambition. It's time to stop bullshitting yourself and finally download your own internal update.

Fair warning: This episode features strong language and occasional colorful expressions from Judge Ryan. Buckle up, you magnificent bastard.
