We’ve all been there—you pick up your phone to scroll for “just five minutes”… and suddenly it’s an hour later, your mood has tanked, and you’re still stuck in the endless feed. That’s doomscrolling, besties—and it’s not just stealing our time, it’s messing with our minds, our moods, and even our sleep.

In this episode, we’re breaking down why doomscrolling feels so addictive (hello, dopamine hits and negativity bias), the hidden toll it takes on our mental and physical health, and—most importantly—real, doable steps you can take to break the cycle. From screen time hacks to swapping in healthier habits, we’re keeping it raw, relatable, and a little bit fun—because you’re not in this alone.

So if you’ve been wanting to reclaim your peace (and your bedtime), this episode is for you. Press play, grab a cozy drink, and let’s talk about how to scroll less and live more.

Charlie Kirk — a name that’s ignited a firestorm across social media. In the wake of his assassination, the internet has exploded with polarizing opinions. Some are mourning him as a bold and passionate voice, while others are expressing nothing but outrage or disdain. The divide is sharp, and the flood of posts reflects just how deeply people felt about him — for better or worse. As headlines swirl and social platforms become more toxic by the day, one question rises to the surface: Why does he spark such strong reactions in the first place?

In this bonus episode, the Besties take a neutral and reflective approach to the viral news surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Rather than focusing on divisive opinions, the conversation centers around emotional awareness, the speed of online reactions, and how people often jump to conclusions without processing fully. We explore and ask whether it’s possible to admire someone's discipline and accomplishments without agreeing with their views. We set out to reinforce the idea that shared values can exist across ideological lines.

This episode also offers thoughtful strategies for coping with news-induced anxiety, like setting limits around social media and shifting from outrage to action. Emphasis is placed on maintaining respectful relationships with people who hold different beliefs by practicing empathy, asking questions, and honoring boundaries. Ultimately, the episode encourages listeners to lead with humanity and remember that disagreement doesn’t have to cancel connection or respect.

Ever heard of energy work? Perhaps you’ve seen a “woo-woo healer” type of individual on social media waving their hands about and seemingly manipulating the air around their client. Is it magic, miracles, or just plain nonsense?

Energy medicine is a broad and evolving field that draws on both ancient traditions and modern approaches. While it's often viewed with skepticism in conventional medical circles, many people report real benefits. In this episode, we uncover the Science and Soul of Energy related healing modalities. Join us for a balanced overview of what we think people should know!

Have you ever heard of an Intuition Sundae?

Unlock the power of your inner knowing in this episode where we explore what intuition feels like, why intuition is important, and how to recognize it in everyday life. We call it building an intuition sundae! We share personal stories of following (and sometimes ignoring) our intuition, plus practical ways you can begin to develop your intuition and trust it more fully.

We also clear up the common confusion between intuition vs. anxiety and intuition vs. overthinking, helping you spot the difference so you can move forward with clarity instead of fear.

By the end, you’ll understand where intuition comes from, how it shows up, and why it matters.

✨ Whether you’re brand new or deep into self-discovery, this conversation will inspire you to trust yourself and maybe even see how intuition connects to manifestation.

This week on The Bestie Perspective, we’re stirring up something rich, grounding, and oh-so heart-opening. We’re diving deep into cacao—but not just the chocolate bar kind. We’re talking ceremonial cacao, the sacred plant medicine that’s been used for centuries in rituals and ceremonies to open the heart, calm the mind, and connect us to spirit.

But here’s the best part—it’s not just spiritual woo woo. Science backs it up. We’ll unpack the compounds in cacao (like theobromine, magnesium, and mood-boosting neurotransmitter activators) and explore how they create very real health benefits—from better focus and energy to improved mood and heart health.

Alongside the science, we’re sharing our own experiences of sitting with cacao intentionally—how it’s helped us drop into presence, tap into creativity, and even move through emotional healing. We each sipped a warm cup as we recorded this episode, setting the intention that cacao itself could flow into the conversation with us.

So whether you’re curious about the ancient roots of this sacred drink, the modern research on its healing powers, or just looking for a soulful excuse to bring more chocolate into your life, this episode is for you.

Grab your mug, cozy up, and join us in discovering why cacao is so much more than just chocolate. 🤎

Ceremonial Cacao Brand Recommendations:

• Ora Cacao: Ora Cacao

• Cacao Laboratory: Cacao Laboratory

• Keith's Cacao: Keith's Cacao

• Pacha Mana Cacao: Pacha Mana Cacao

Growth is rarely neat, polished, or linear — it’s often messy, uncertain, and hidden in the in-between. In this episode, Hannah, Lauryn, and Aylen explore the beauty of the “messy middle”: the cocoon seasons, the gray areas, and the imperfect moments that actually shape who we become.

We’ll talk about resisting comparison, quieting the noise of information overload, and coming back to your own inner wisdom. Along the way, you’ll get permission to rest, to not know, and to trust the process of becoming — even when it feels messy.

This conversation is a love note to anyone who feels in-between chapters. You’re not alone, you’re not behind, and you’re doing so much better than you think.
