    “You’re Not the Main Character in Other People’s Stories.”
    Oct 28 2025

    Erica and Erin dig into the viral #maincharacterenergy phenomenon, weighing its appeal, its dark side, and what it really means to claim agency in your own life. Together, they ask the question that underlies it all: just who decides who gets to be the main character anyway?

    Reviews help, but your weird, wild, or painfully familiar cliches are the real gold.

  • "Don't Confuse Effort With Results" with Nick Power

    "Don't Confuse Effort With Results" with Nick Power
    Oct 14 2025

    This week, Erica and Erin take on the cult of productivity with guest Nick Power, marketer, creator, and professional chaos enthusiast.

    Nick shares how he first heard the phrase (hint: it didn’t go well), and how it still haunts the way we talk about work and worth. They also get into what counts as success, how “results-only” thinking dulls creativity, and what might actually be worth measuring instead.

    “You can’t pour from an empty cup.”

    “You can’t pour from an empty cup”...but what if your cup isn’t empty?

    From misreading your cup to questioning learned helplessness, Erica and Erin go beyond individual self-care and discuss the messy (mostly) terrifying context of today’s world—shrinking rights, disappearing resources, and structural chaos–and how we might think about cups in a way that generates some much-needed hope.
