Ever found a loophole and thought, “Wait… can I actually do this?”

Today we’re diving into all the ways people skirt the system — the little workarounds, quiet rebellions, and hacks we’ve all secretly pulled (or wanted to). From bending workplace rules to sneaky life shortcuts, we’re unpacking why we do it, how we justify it, and the fine line between genius and shady.

Pet peeves are small… until they’re not. We’re breaking down the everyday annoyances that make us irrationally angry, sharing listener submissions, and asking the big question: are pet peeves just personality tests in disguise?

You’ve gained weight.

Three little words that can crush someone or completely change a relationship. After COVID, a lot of us stopped prioritizing ourselves. The stress. The burnout. The emotional eating. And now… the mirror feels different, the intimacy feels distant, and no one’s saying a word.

In this episode of Mic & Mind, we’re diving into one of the hardest conversations in relationships: what happens when your partner gains weight, and you don’t know how or if you should bring it up. Is it ever okay to say something? What if you’re the one who feels self-conscious, and you’re scared they notice?

We talk the shame, the silence, the emotional weight (literally and figuratively), and how to reconnect when body image is getting in the way of everything else.
