Whether you’re folding laundry, walking your dog, or disassociating in traffic — this is your space to breathe, laugh, reflect, and feel a little more seen. We’re talking pop culture, personal growth, niche internet drama, friendships, daydreams, and whatever else comes up when you check in with yourself. It’s casual. It’s a little unhinged. It’s surprisingly therapeutic. New episodes drop weekly. Mic check. Life check. Let’s talk.
