Kaitlin finds her perfect pair of sunglasses despite everyone else's opinion. Minivans are elite. Keanu Reeves might be the nicest human alive. We casually dip our toes into conspiracy theories. Does worship music actually manipulate your emotions? Everyone shares their green flags (for once, some positive self-talk).

Britt Frank is a licensed neuropsychotherapist, speaker, and author known for making complex mental health concepts actually make sense. Through her work, Britt helps people understand their minds and nervous systems in a way that’s practical, empowering, and free of shame.

In this episode, we cover a lot of ground. Britt reframes anxiety as a potential superpower, breaks down how trauma shapes us, and explains why our self-talk matters...maybe even more than we think. We also dive into the nervous system and how that connects to things like the two (yes, two) types of procrastination.

We talk about the difference between emotionally skilled and unskilled families, how those patterns follow us into adulthood, and what it looks like to stop the cycle of emotional regression. It’s insightful, practical, and might just change the way you understand yourself.

Emily finds months’ worth of missing lip products buried deep in the couch. Mysterious glowing orbs set off the alarms at Matt’s work, completely derail Kaitlin’s week, and leave the entire SWE team questioning reality (ghosts? government? the afterlife? all of the above?).

Kaitlin’s face-brushing journey fails, Matt and Emily’s dishwasher and oven both die, and the comforting reality that all of our food is killing us. Kaitlin turns down a potential interview guest for the first time ever. Then Caroline and Hannah call in and everyone shares what their biggest first-date red flag would be.
