In our most Delilah-ish episode yet, we talk in soothing, nighttime voices about how hard it is to make and keep friendships in adult life. Why don't we have sleepovers anymore? When did that become a thing of childhood past? In this solo episode, we cover these topics and perhaps the most important question of all: should we just move in together?Check out the show notes for this episode here!---CONNECT WITH US:Instagram | Website | Merch | PatreonIf you want to listen to all 40+ episodes from Season 01, check out our archives on Patreon!

In this first episode of our two-parter with body image coach Christina Montalvo, we talk about the failures of something else: the diet culture industry. Christina shows us just how ingrained dieting is in our lives and mindsets - and we ask some big questions about emotions, labeling, and comparison when it comes to our bodies and our food.

IT'S OUR BIRTHDAY!! Well, technically the podcast turns one on September 15th. But this is the closest Wednesday to that so... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, US!! It's been an amazing year talking to you about failure - we're beyond moved by all the conversations we've had and all the people we've met since starting How to Fail!. This special birthday episode features us talking about how the new Mister Rogers documentary - Won't You Be My Neighbor - affected us as individuals and as podcasters.

In this episode, we talk with Danielle Spurge, Etsy guru, about failure, the internet, and hard work, and how you can’t edit out the humanity from what you do. Danielle reminds us that starting where we are with whatever we have is the best course of action.

Launch Your Daydream founders Britt & Kelsey join us on the podcast today to bring the kind of content our listeners want to hear: what it was like to meet and hug all five of the Backstreet Boys. We also talk to them about how your failures can show you that you don't have to force yourself to do what your heart doesn't want. Failing at something? Maybe it was never the right fit.Check out the show notes and find more about Britt & Kelsey here!---CONNECT WITH US:Instagram | Website | Merch | PatreonIf you want to listen to all 40+ episodes from Season 01, check out our archives on Patreon!

In this episode, we get our pillows out and chat about Kristin’s wedding stress (she has a lot of complaints) and, relatedly, the Netflix true crime docu-drama The Staircase. A few things Kristin complains about include: gift registries, bridesmaid dresses, feeling like no one cares, the dowry issue, and how expensive weddings are. Tina indulges.

In this episode, we chat with Jen Hatzung - creator of Abundant Affirmations - about the power of words, how something failing doesn’t make you a failure as a person, and noticing if your feelings about your failure match up with the facts.

In this episode, Cher Hale – publicist and Italian immersion tour leader – chats with us about something most of us have experienced: being dumped and the aftermath. In Cher’s story, the relationship was short but the rejection affected all aspects of her life and led to a few failures that still sting.

In Episode 32, we talk about the idea of "niceness" - whether we were considered nice or not growing up, what niceness even means, and how terms like it are not nearly descriptive enough to get to the core of what a person is like. We get into the nitty gritty about how what we tell ourselves, our friends, or our children can impact them for a long time after. Moral of the story: you are not defined by how nice you are and there is no one thing that describes your whole self.Read the show notes here!---CONNECT WITH US:Instagram | Website | Merch | PatreonIf you want to listen to all 40+ episodes from Season 01, check out our archives on Patreon!
