In this episode, we talk about the things we stubbornly refuse to throw away; both physically and emotionally. We got a message from Cassie who's feeling “behind” in adulthood while everyone else seems to be hitting big milestones like marriage, babies, and homeownership, and how comparison can quietly mess with your peace. We explore how to trust your own timeline, let go of the pressure to keep up, and remind yourself that doing life differently doesn’t mean doing it wrong. And, because balance, we wrap it up with a fun throwback question: what was your very first ringtone?

In today’s episode, we dive into all things comfort and connection — from the movies we can watch over and over again, to the shortest and longest dates we’ve ever been on. We also heard from a listener expecting their first child; she's overwhelmed by baby product advice and sponsorship noise, and needs help breaking down the one newborn item she truly shouldn’t live without.

In this episode, we kick things off by talking about what we pretended to be as kids and how those childhood ideas followed us into adulthood. Then we dive into a listener-submitted dilemma: after a group dinner that got out of control price-wise, she agreed to split the bill but didn’t have enough left for a traditional tip. With no cash on hand, they left a Kroger gift card instead. We break down the situation, talk money etiquette, and debate what you’re actually supposed to do when you’re stretched thin but still trying to do the right thing.
