In this episode, we’re sharing our opinions about overexplaining—why so many of us do it, where it comes from, and how it often shows up without us even realizing it.

We talk about how overexplaining can be rooted in people-pleasing, fear of being misunderstood, or feeling responsible for how others perceive us. We also explore how overexplaining shows up differently in friendships, family dynamics, work, and online spaces—and why it can be so hard to stop once it becomes a habit.

This conversation isn’t about shaming the instinct to explain yourself. It’s about understanding it, questioning when it’s actually necessary, and noticing how much energy it can take to constantly justify our choices, feelings, or boundaries.

As always, these are just our opinions—meant to open up reflection, not offer rigid rules.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What overexplaining actually looks like in everyday life
• Why so many of us feel the urge to justify ourselves
• The link between overexplaining, people-pleasing, and anxiety
• When explanation is helpful vs. when it’s unnecessary
• How overexplaining can drain energy and blur boundaries
• What it might look like to pause, say less, and trust yourself more

If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation wishing you’d said less—or wondered why you felt the need to defend a perfectly reasonable choice—this episode will feel very familiar.

In this episode, we’re sharing our opinions about therapy—why we love it, how our perspectives on it have evolved over time, and why finding the right therapist can make all the difference.

We talk honestly about how therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience, and how what you need from therapy can change across different seasons of life. From early expectations to deeper, more nuanced understanding, we reflect on how our relationship with therapy has grown and shifted over the years.

We also get into the process of finding your best-fit therapist—why it can take longer than you’d like, why that doesn’t mean therapy “isn’t working,” and why it’s worth staying open rather than giving up after one or two mismatches.

This conversation is encouraging, realistic, and grounded in respect for both the process and the people involved.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why we genuinely love therapy and believe in its value
• How our views on therapy have changed over time
• Common misconceptions about what therapy should look like
• Why finding the right therapist matters so much
• Why it’s okay (and normal) if the process takes longer than expected

Whether you’re therapy-curious, currently in therapy, or feeling discouraged by the process, this episode is a reminder that therapy is a relationship—and like any relationship, it takes time to find the right fit.

In this episode, we’re diving into our thoughts on pop culture—and how dramatically it’s changed from when we were growing up to now.

With constant access to information through social media, smartphones, and 24/7 commentary, pop culture feels closer, louder, and more personal than ever. We talk about how this level of access can blur boundaries, create a false sense of intimacy with celebrities, and shape the way we consume and react to public figures.

We also get into cancel culture—what we understand about it, where we think accountability matters, and why we struggle with the extremes of how it shows up today. This isn’t about defending harmful behavior, but about questioning whether the current culture of instant judgment leaves room for nuance, growth, or humanity.

This episode is opinion-based, reflective, and open-ended—meant to spark thought rather than provide definitive answers.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How pop culture feels different now compared to when we were younger
• The impact of social media and constant access to information
• Why we feel “closer” to celebrities than ever before
• The psychology behind parasocial relationships
• Our mixed feelings about cancel culture and its extremes
• Where accountability, growth, and nuance get lost

As always, these are just our opinions—and we’re curious how others are thinking about these shifts too. Pop culture isn’t just entertainment anymore; it shapes how we relate, judge, and understand the world around us.
