Concert Highs & Car Confessions

Grieving Old Versions of Ourselves

This week on It’s Not That Serious, we’re talking about something people don’t discuss enough — grieving old versions of ourselves. The older we get, the more we realize growth doesn’t just bring change… it also brings loss. Sometimes we miss the carefree version of ourselves, the more hopeful version, the version before heartbreak, burnout, motherhood, healing, boundaries, or life simply changed us. In this episode, we talk about: Missing old versions of ourselves while still knowing we’ve grown Why healing can sometimes feel lonely Outgrowing friendships, habits, and old patterns Romanticizing seasons of life that weren’t actually healthy The weirdness of realizing you’re not who you used to be How people react when you change The balance between honoring your past self and embracing who you’re becoming We also share some funny moments about the things our past selves would NEVER believe about us now. This episode is honest, reflective, funny, and a reminder that becoming who you’re meant to be often requires letting go of who you used to be. Because maybe growth isn’t about becoming someone completely new…maybe it’s about finally becoming yourself. Follow us on instagram at twinnytimes2

Perimenopause...Who Is She?

We thought we knew our bodies until we hit our late 30s and now we’re like WTF.  Something has been… off. We’re tired—but wired. Snapping—but also crying in the car for no reason. Forgetting everything. Sweating at night. Questioning our sanity 😅 So we finally asked the question: Is this just life… or is this perimenopause?! This week on It’s Not That Serious, Amy and I are getting REAL about the phase no one prepared us for. The mood swings, the brain fog, the identity shifts—and why it feels like our bodies just went rogue overnight. We’re not doctors… we’re just in it. And if you are too? You are NOT crazy, and you are definitely not alone. Come laugh, vent, and figure this out with us. Follow along and share your thoughts with us on Instagram at @twinnytimes2

Friendship Breakups

Friendship breakups don’t get talked about nearly enough — but they can hurt just as much (if not more) than romantic ones. In this episode, Amy and I get really honest about our personal experiences with friendships that didn’t last. We talk about the pain, the confusion, the growth, and the lessons we’ve learned along the way. From slowly drifting apart to sudden fallouts, we share what these relationships taught us about boundaries, expectations, and what healthy friendship actually looks like. We also talk about how those experiences shaped the friendship we have today — how we communicate, how we work through conflict, and how we’re intentionally choosing to show up for each other moving forward. Friendships evolve, and sometimes they end. That doesn’t always mean someone failed. Sometimes it just means you’re growing. If you’ve ever lost a friend, felt the sting of being misunderstood, or had to walk away from a relationship that no longer served you — this conversation is for you. In this episode we talk about: •Why friendship breakups can be so painful •Our personal experiences with friendships ending •The signs a friendship may be shifting or fading •What we’ve learned about boundaries and communication •How those experiences shaped the friendship we have today •Choosing healthier friendships moving forward Reminder: Not every friendship is meant to last forever — but every one can teach you something.

Who Put Us In Charge

At some point in life, something strange happens — you look around and realize you’re the adult now. And somehow… that feels both empowering and mildly terrifying. In this episode of It’s Not That Serious, we’re talking about that weird moment in adulthood when you realize the responsibility is yours. The decisions, the direction, the consequences — all of it. And yet, most of us still feel like we’re figuring it out as we go. We dive into the feeling of being “in charge” of our lives while still questioning if we’re even qualified for the job. From imposter syndrome in adulthood to the pressure of making the “right” choices, we talk honestly about the tension between responsibility and self-doubt. Along the way, we reflect on the realization that the people we once looked up to probably didn’t have it all figured out either — they were just doing the best they could with what they had. If you’ve ever thought, “Wait… who trusted me with this?” this episode is for you. In this episode we talk about: * The moment you realize you’re officially the adult in the room * Why so many capable people still feel unqualified for their own lives * The pressure of making big life decisions * Learning to trust yourself even when you’re unsure * The truth about how most people are navigating adulthood * Taking responsibility for your life without letting the pressure crush you Listener Question: When was the moment you realized you were the one in charge now? Reminder: Life might be serious sometimes… but it’s still not that serious. Follow along and share your thoughts with us on Instagram at @twinnytimes2
