Part 2 shifts the focus outward—from individual response to collective care.

In this episode, Matt and I talk about how connection, community, and shared support become even more important during times of uncertainty. We explore what strength really looks like when people are exhausted, grieving, or trying to find their footing again, and how showing up for one another doesn’t always require big gestures—sometimes it starts with listening, kindness, and presence.

This conversation is an invitation to reflect on how we support each other, how we stay human in hard moments, and how community can help us move out of survival mode together.

If you’re craving steadiness, reassurance, or a reminder that you’re not alone in this, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we revisit a conversation that feels especially relevant right now.

Recorded earlier this year with my good friend Matt, Part 1 of Fight or Flight explores what it means to notice when we’re pushing too hard, when we’re pulling away, and when our nervous systems are simply trying to protect us. We talk about stress, overwhelm, and the very human instinct to move into fight, flight, or freeze when the world feels like too much.

This isn’t about having answers. It’s about slowing down, recognizing what’s happening in our bodies and minds, and giving ourselves permission to pause before deciding what comes next.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or unsure how to move forward right now, this conversation is here to sit with you.

A short message before the episode to share why this conversation felt important to revisit right now, and to offer a little grounding in the middle of it all.

A New Year reflection on the space between endings and beginnings—where grief, hope, and growth coexist, and where we choose change without hardening.

Join Francisca and Dee in Part 2 of Love Unfiltered as they dive into love, heartbreak, and the messy magic of figuring it all out.

Along the way, they unpack why Carrie Bradshaw is the ultimate chaotic “Me Girl,” celebrate Samantha being the forever GOAT, and confess Francisca’s aspiration to become Moira Rose. (Also: cheese. Always cheese.)

Love is rarely simple.

In this episode of Beauty Unfiltered, Dee and I explore what love really feels like — the warmth, the opening, the fear, the timing, the loss, and the unexpected ways it changes us.

It’s raw, gentle, and honest.
