Why do we always feel like we’re running out of time? In this episode, we get into timeline anxiety, feeling behind in life, and the pressure to have your career, relationship, marriage, and kids figured out by 30. We talk about social media comparison, biological clocks, productivity culture, and the constant battle between accomplishing more and actually enjoying your life. We also attempt to explain why time is fake, discover that railroads basically decided what time it is, debate whether we’d want to know when we’re going to die, and accept that we are absolutely not qualified to teach science. Are you wasting your life, or are you measuring it against a timeline that was never yours? DM us your thoughts...

Born in 1995, which means we got the 90s kid childhood AND a front row seat to social media before anyone knew what it would become. Honesty Box. Uploading your entire digital camera roll to Facebook, unfiltered. Learning HTML so your Myspace had glitter stickers. This one is a full rundown of why millennials drink the way we do. Paris, Lindsay and Britney on the cover of In Touch at the grocery store. LMFAO and Pitbull telling us to get wasted while we were twelve. Project X dropping senior year. 2008, then COVID at 25, then another war, then another economic collapse. All we know is crisis, and that is why our livers are the way they are. Plus a this or that game through 2010 to 2018: Katy Perry or Lady Gaga, Drake or The Weeknd, Avicii or Swedish House Mafia, Vodka Red Bull or Jagerbomb, YOLO or swag.

This week we sat down with our friend and acupuncturist Carlee, we cover what acupuncture actually feels like, why the needles aren't the scary part, how many sessions it really takes before you see results, and why you might leave your first appointment exhausted instead of energized. We also get into being stuck in fight or flight mode all the time, not knowing what your own baseline feels like anymore, and what it takes to get your nervous system back to rest and digest. Then we get into how holistic medicine gets written off as woo woo, why one condition per appointment is even a rule, who actually profits from prevention not happening, and why hospitals in other countries run Western and Chinese medicine side by side while we treat it like you have to pick a team. Plus Carlee's story of packing up at 25, moving cities, and going back to school to start completely over. Working another job while building a practice, why that's the smart move and why comparing your timeline to everyone else's is the fastest way to lose your own.Carlee practices out of Foundation Body Lab in Mount Pleasant, Vancouver.

Why do I feel guilty for taking a break? Rest guilt, burnout, productivity guilt, hustle culture, taking time off work, losing momentum, and why high achievers can't relax. In this episode we get into what actually counts as a break, why doomscrolling is dissociation and not rest, and why doing nothing feels like going backwards. We talk about taking ten days off and coming back completely disoriented, the fear of losing your momentum, the book Relentless and the "win the game, back on the court tomorrow" mentality, and how even our so-called breaks turn into planning sessions. We had paused the podcast for a few weeks and we admit we felt guilty. A hobby. Something that doesn't pay us. And we trace the whole thing back to childhoods where every single hour was scheduled and nobody ever taught us how to rest.If you've ever taken a day off and spent it calling yourself lazy, you're not alone.

This week we're getting into: signs your workplace is a cult, signs your personal values don't align with your job, toxic workplace red flags, and how to know if your job is genuinely toxic or just not the right fit. We talk about how much influence a job should actually have over your personal values, why "we're a family" is usually a red flag, and why vague core values like "quality" and "integrity" mean absolutely nothing. How banned words and secret rules only get revealed after you've already broken them. Why the most "open and inclusive" workplaces are so often the most toxic underneath. Whose fault it actually is when you're doing great work but still feel like an outcast. And the exact 8-point checklist psychologists use to identify cult-like behavior, hit most of these boxes and you're not just misaligned with a culture, you're in a cult. We don't think every mismatch is a conspiracy. Sometimes it's just not your people. If you've ever felt like you had to censor who you are to survive at work, or you're not sure if it's you or the environment, this episode will help you figure it out.

Why can't anyone commit anymore, and did social media completely ruin dating? This week we're getting into: the ghosting, the situationships, and the "I'm just not in the place right now" speech we've all heard. Everyone treats each other like they're disposable now. You unfollow someone in real life and disappear, no conversation, no closure, nothing. We talk about the panic and dip (when the texts start dwindling and you just KNOW), why situationships somehow hurt worse than actual breakups, and why they always come back months or even years later just to like your story and feed their ego and whether we're manifesting the chaos or just recognizing the pattern. How we started measuring whole relationships by “texts per day”. Why "let's just be friends" is the most insane thing a man can say to you. Why we audit our own behavior and shrink ourselves so they won't leave, and how that never works anyway. And the big question: is it the apps, or has this always been in us and the apps just let it out?We don't have it all figured out but we do have hope. Get offline. Meet people in the wild. And never, ever settle for some bum who doesn't even like you.

Rebuilding your life after divorce feels impossible at first. In this episode we talk about starting over after divorce, getting sober, healing after loss, and rebuilding your finances from rock bottom. Sara was blindsided. After 10 years together, her husband left her a breakup note in the kitchen. It happened after she lost her dad, and at 32 she found herself starting completely over. No emergency fund, maxed out credit cards, and no idea who she was without him.

This week we sit down with Sara to talk about what the rebuild actually looked like: the blindside, the financial wreckage, going sober, resetting her nervous system, and how she went from survival mode to making top dollar and feeling genuinely aligned. She gets honest about the worst money advice women get, why "just cut out the lattes" and "hustle harder" can do more harm than good, and the financial moves that actually changed her life.

Is job hopping actually bad for your career, or does staying loyal cost you more?

This week we debate the career question we took completely opposite paths on. One of us stayed in one lane for over 10 years and built a career from the very bottom into freedom, money, respect, and seniority. The other one bounced around between multiple career paths, went back to school more than once, traveled, tried everything, and finally locked in on the one thing she's going all in on next.

We talk about what each path actually cost us. Whether bouncing around makes you a jack of all trades and master of none, or whether staying loyal just leaves better versions of yourself on the table. Whether "freedom" is real freedom or just fear of committing to something hard. Who actually has more leverage down the line, the person 10 years deep or the person with range. And how your upbringing secretly decides which one you become.

Were you the loyal type or the bounce-around type?

We saw The Devil Wears Prada 2 in theatres and this week we're breaking down every character through a Hoe to CEO lens. Miranda the unhateable villain, Andy the pick me, Emily and her plot twist, Nigel and his twenty years of loyalty, and Andy's absolute bum of a boyfriend. Ambition, sacrifice, knowing what's actually for you, and why being a visionary beats being a copy. Maybe the biggest Hoe to CEO movie ever made.

You're not confused. You're not still figuring it out. You're just scared to make the call. This week we're talking about the gray area... that place you sit in when you already know what to do but you'd rather avoid dealing with it. We get into why "I don't know" is always a cop-out, what staying indecisive actually does to your body, why dragging things out doesn't make it easier for anyone, and how the most successful people got there by making decisions fast. If you've been putting something off, this one's for you!
