    04 - Is it a Stretch: Cancelling plans and feeling immediate relief?
    Mar 22 2026
    Have you ever stared at the clock, did the mental math… and immediately felt relief the second plans got canceled?
    In this episode of It’s a Stretch, we get into the very real emotional rollercoaster of making plans… and then not wanting to follow through. We’re talking about that instant sense of relief when plans fall through and the guilt that somehow shows up right behind it.
    We break down whether it feels worse to cancel when you were the one who made the plans versus when someone else did, and why that difference matters more than we’d like to admit. Plus, the expectation vs. reality of going out, because somehow, leaving the house feels like the hardest part… and then once you’re there, it’s usually fine (which is honestly annoying).
    And of course, we get into the mental gymnastics: what time you should leave, what time you actually need to leave, and how long you can realistically stall before it becomes obvious you’re not coming.
    Is canceling plans and feeling immediate relief… a stretch?
    Or is it just being human?
    If you’ve ever sat there hoping plans get canceled for you… this one’s for you.

    03 - Is it a Stretch: Are expiration dates just suggestions?
    Mar 15 2026
    Have you ever stared at a carton of milk, checked the date.. and then smelled it anyway?
    In this episode of It’s a Stretch, we chat about the chaos of expiration dates, the confusing world of “best by, used by, freeze by” dates, and whatever other labels the food industry decided to throw at us.
    We talk about our personal food hierarchy (what will risk and what we absolutely won’t), how we do a quick risk assessment when something is past the date, and whether expiration dates are actually about safety.. or just food quality.
    Is trusting your senses, a reasonable strategy?Or is eating food past the expiration date a full-blown gamble?
    If you’ve ever googled “how long is yogurt good after the date?“ While standing in your kitchen.. you’re not alone.
    So the real question is: Are expiration dates a rule.. or just a suggestion?

    02 - Is It a Stretch: Having an Advanced Degree and Hate Reading?
    Mar 8 2026
    Have you ever worked hard for an advanced degree… and still hated reading the whole time?
    In this episode of It’s a Stretch, we talk about reading eras, why school may have ruined books for us, and how we somehow ended up with 10 streaming services but still nothing to watch.
    Is it burnout from years of assigned reading? Decision fatigue? Or are we just pretending we’re going to read more than we actually do?
    If you’ve ever thought, “Is it just me?” - it’s not. It’s a stretch.

    01 - Is It a Stretch: Rehearsing Conversations That Never Happen?
    Mar 1 2026

    Is it a stretch to rehearse conversations in your head that might never even happen?
    In our first episode, we unpack the mental scripts we write, the arguments we win in private, and why we’re emotionally prepared for scenarios that don’t exist.
    Is it anxiety? Preparation? Or just being human?
    Let’s find out.
