🎙 Episode 35: Respectfully No Chit Chat

Some weeks you need deep healing… and other weeks you just need to talk about absolutely nothing for 40 minutes. This is that episode. It’s the group chat energy you wish your actual group chat gave, complete with chaotic story detours, unsolicited opinions, and the kind of honest laughs that feel like a warm hug and a tiny bit of judgment in the best way.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

✨ Anything and everything we probably should’ve saved for a voice memo

✨ What we’re watching, loving, ignoring, and irrationally invested in right now

✨ A lighthearted hang-out so you can get to know us without needing emotional stamina

Because sometimes the most healing thing you can do is laugh, overshare, and forget your responsibilities for one episode-length amount of time.

🎙 Episode 34: Why We Mistake Drama for Connection

If a relationship feels quiet, does that mean something’s wrong… or does it just mean it’s healthy? Somewhere along the way, we learned that intensity equals intimacy, and now calm can feel suspicious.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

✨ How emotional highs, venting, and constant conflict get confused with closeness

✨ Why chaos can feel bonding even when it’s exhausting

✨ What real connection actually looks like when it’s safe, steady, and not keeping you on edge

Because sometimes peace feels boring only because your nervous system is used to noise.

🎙 Episode 33: The Things We Said We’d Never Do… and Definitely Did

We all had opinions before life humbled us. Strong ones. Loud ones. And now here we are doing the exact things we swore we were above. Funny how experience has a way of changing the narrative.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

✨ The parenting, marriage, money, and body “rules” we confidently set before reality showed up

✨ How judgment fades once you’re actually living the thing

✨ Why changing your mind isn’t hypocrisy… it’s growth

Because sometimes the lesson isn’t sticking to your old beliefs. It’s giving yourself permission to evolve when you know better.

🎙 Episode 32: The ReBrand Era

Ever wake up and think, “Yeah… this version of me needs an update”? Same. No dramatic meltdown required, just a quiet realization that you’ve outgrown some things and you’re ready to move differently.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

✨ What it actually means to “rebrand” yourself in real life, not just on Instagram

✨ Signs you might be ready for a personal rebrand and why that’s not a failure

✨ How to evolve without explaining yourself to everyone in your life

Because sometimes growth looks like a glow-up… and sometimes it looks like choosing peace and not caring who notices.

🎙 Episode 31: Respectfully NO Chit Chat 2026

New year, same us… just a little more tired and a lot more honest. This is the episode where we sit down like it’s the first week of January, coffee in hand, and decide what absolutely did not earn a carry-on into 2026.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

✨ What we’re officially leaving behind in 2025 (no apologies)

✨ What we’re taking with us into 2026 and why it actually matters this time

✨ New-year energy without the toxic pressure to “reinvent ourselves”

Because sometimes growth isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about dropping the stuff that never fit in the first place.

🎙 Episode Description

Respectfully Yes to All the Small Things

You know how you’re waiting for a big sign, a big break, or a big permission slip to feel better? Yeah… this episode is a gentle call-in about that. Because most of life isn’t changed by grand gestures. It’s changed by the small things we keep brushing off.

In this mini episode, we’re talking about what it actually looks like to say Respectfully Yes to the small things. The tiny joys. The quiet needs. The moments that don’t feel productive enough, important enough, or worthy of your time. Especially when you’re juggling motherhood, marriage, burnout, and the ongoing question of who you even are anymore.

If you’ve ever felt guilt, resistance, or discomfort around prioritizing the little stuff, you’re not broken. You’re human. This episode is your reminder that small yeses build trust with yourself. And that might be the most important relationship you have. Consider this your permission slip to start there.

🎙 Episode 30: The Group Chat Chronicles & Text Etiquette 101

If someone replies “k,” is it calm… or is it chaos? And why does one unread message send us into a full spiral while a three-day reply somehow feels personal? Welcome to the emotional rollercoaster that is modern texting.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

✨ Why group chats bring out our entire personality spectrum

✨ The unwritten rules of texting no one ever taught us

✨ Friendship dynamics in the digital age, including text anxiety, overthinking, and reading way too much into punctuation

Because sometimes it’s not that your friend hates you… she just has 47 notifications, three kids, and forgot to hit send.

🎙 Episode 29: Respectfully No… to the Bare Minimum

If one more person brags about “showing up” like it’s extra credit, I might scream. Somewhere along the way, doing the absolute least became a personality trait. Spoiler: it’s not a cute one.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

✨ The bare minimum epidemic and why everyone’s tired of it

✨ Low-effort friendships that drain you more than they support you

✨ Bare-minimum marriages and the quiet resentment they create

✨ And yes… the bare minimum we sometimes give ourselves

Because sometimes the problem isn’t that people won’t step up. It’s that we keep pretending crumbs are a full meal.

🎙 Episode 28: Am I the Villain in My Own Story? Self Awareness and Accountability

Have you ever replayed a situation in your head and suddenly thought… wait. Was I the drama? It’s the plot twist none of us asked for, but sometimes the mirror holds more truth than we’re ready for at 7 a.m. with under-eye bags and cold coffee.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

Because sometimes the real villain is the version of you that refuses to grow, not the one doing the hard work to change.

🎙 Episode 27: Do I Want a Break… or Do I Want to Run Away

Ever stare at your car and think, “What if I just… kept driving?” Same. Turns out the fantasy of disappearing into a cabin in the mountains might actually be your body begging for rest, not a new zip code.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

Because sometimes you don’t need to vanish. You just need a nap, a boundary, and maybe someone else to handle dinner for once.
