This Is Where We Are

My mom and I share stories about our experiences working with both good and bad managers. Drawing from her career as a pharmacist in large and small organizations and my experiences in corporate America, we explore the art of managing up. It's a candid conversation about workplace dynamics, adaptability, and keeping your sanity while getting the job done.

Are we building real relationships, or just trading content back and forth and calling it connection?

In this episode, we question the way we consume and share information in a world flooded with content. So much of what we see and learn comes from people who haven’t fully lived it yet, and an entire generation is being shaped by that.

This episode is a reminder to keep the “wise woman” alive, to value depth over noise, and real perspective over recycled ideas.

And maybe, just maybe, we’re not as far gone as it feels… because until sports are played by robots, there’s still something real left.

After a two month break, we’re back, and there was a lot to catch up on.

In this episode, my mom and I talk about how there really is no “safe” path anymore. Staying in a job you hate isn’t security, but leaving doesn’t come with guarantees either. With more tools, technology, and access than ever before, build something that feeds energy back to you and create something you want to see in the world. Now is the time.

Description: “In a world obsessed with speed and AI-ing everything, we take a look at a popular 2026 counter-culture trend to add friction back into our lives, and why resisting convenience might be the most human thing we can do to keep us alive!

Inspired by two posts: @nymag on Instagram: "In 2026, we are Friction-Maxxing" and @audieoffmic "Does making everything easier actually make it better? "

My mom brought to my attention that she has never heard of "weaponized incompetence," even though she has probably experienced it every day. In this episode, we share examples and give our take on this psych-culture phrase that has us all wondering if it's even worth getting up in the morning.

A simple poem about bagged salad unexpectedly opens the door to a conversation about our impending doom as a human species. We bounce between everyday convenience and the looming sense of apocalypse, then back again, searching for joy in the mundane. This episode invites you to reflect on how you’re spending your time and what kind of world you want to help shape in the coming year.

Do you know the history behind the word "gossip"? Neither did we until we saw @thekindredsnohomish's Instagram post, which made us deep-dive into what it REALLY means and how it has been used to keep women from confiding in one another.

In this episode, we tackle the infamous and often over-discussed topic of anxiety, but with an angle that might surprise you. From situational to chronic anxiety, we explore it all and uncover how it connects to alcohol and the ways it shapes how we engage with others.

In this episode, we talk about the quiet, subliminal messages we tell ourselves about what we wear, and how challenging them can change the way we see ourselves. What "Flatterning" really means.
