Marie and Katie explore the reality of moving on without closure in this reflective episode of The Sunday Self. Together, they unpack the common belief that closure must come from others—and gently challenge it, reminding listeners that peace is something we often have to create for ourselves.

Through honest conversation, they dive into why unanswered endings can feel so heavy, how the mind loops in search of explanations, and what it truly looks like to let go without apologies or final words. With compassion and clarity, Katie and Marie reframe healing as a daily, intentional process—one rooted in self-worth, acceptance, and emotional independence.

This episode offers a grounding reminder: even without answers, it’s possible to close the chapter and move forward on your own terms.

A cozy catch-up full of life updates, light chaos, and random observations—from testing out frequencies, to Marie spotting the Gen Z stare in the wild, to Katie unpacking the “young ho” trend.

If you’re in the mood for a laid-back, honest conversation that feels like catching up with friends, this one’s for you!

This week on The Sunday Self Podcast, Marie and Katie dive into a topic that hits close to home for so many—toxic relationships that don’t leave bruises, but still leave a lasting impact.

From subtle red flags to emotional manipulation, Marie and Katie unpack how these relationships often begin with charm and connection, only to slowly shift into something that drains your energy, confidence, and sense of self. They share personal experiences, honest reflections, and the patterns that are easy to miss when you’re in the middle of it.

This conversation is about awareness, self-trust, and reclaiming your power. Because the moment you stop questioning your worth… everything starts to change.

If you’ve ever felt like you were losing yourself to keep someone else… this episode is for you.

Katie and Marie explore what it really means to spend time alone—and actually enjoy it. In this episode, they talk about reconnecting with yourself, embracing quiet moments, and creating small, intentional pockets of time that are just for you. From mindful movement and journaling to simple grounding techniques, they share gentle ways to slow down, tune in, and build a more supportive relationship with yourself. Because being alone doesn’t have to feel lonely—it can be where you come back to who you are.

Mother-daughter relationships aren’t easy but they can get better. We’re talking about the moments, choices, and lessons that helped us reconnect and besties.

If you’ve ever compared yourself, questioned your reflection, or felt the pressure to look a certain way… this conversation is for you.

In this Season 1 finale of The Sunday Self, Katie and Marie take on a conversation that feels more relevant than ever—beauty standards, aging, and what it actually means to feel confident in a world shaped by influencers.

Notes:

We discussed Mel Robbins podcast episode 380 with Dr. Rachel Rubin, MD. We recommend giving it a listen!

This week on The Sunday Self, Marie and Katie do something a little different—and a lot more personal.

In Episode 9, they sit down for an honest, unfiltered conversation as mother and daughter, asking each other the questions that often go unspoken. From “Is there anything you blame me for?” to “What do you wish I understood about you growing up?”—this episode creates space for truth, reflection, and healing.

More than anything, their conversation is a reminder that it’s never too late to ask the important questions.

In this week's episode Marie and Katie discuss all things friendship. How to make friends, keep friends, and sometimes when to let go. In true Sunday Self form Marie and Katie do a not so rapid, rapid fire.

Marie & Katie will be taking a break next week for Katie's birthday! Join us on March 22nd for very special Mother/Daughter episode.

Go out and shine bright!

What do you do when life feels out of control?

In this episode, we unpack the panic, frustration, and urgency that hit when things don’t go the way we planned. Why do we grip tighter? Why does control feel so necessary?

We break down the difference between responsibility and control, share a simple two-column method to separate what’s yours from what isn’t, and give you a practical reset you can use immediately.

You can’t control everything.

But you can control you.

This week on The Sunday Self, we’re talking about reinvention, personal growth, and the messy middle of change. Not just the big life milestones but the quiet decisions we make to evolve.

From quitting habits that no longer serve us, to trying new classes, to managing anger as a “private project,” we explore what it really means to grow. Why do people sometimes resist our changes? Why is “same” so comfortable? And is it better to share your goals or protect them?
