No, But Listen Podcast

Ep 5 | The Benefit Of The Doubt : Avoidants, Confrontation, Ghosting & The Fixer Upper Phase

No, but listen… are you actually confrontational, or are you just one minor inconvenience away from completely ghosting society? In Episode 5, we are getting painfully honest about our own toxic traits as we dissect where we fall on the avoidant vs. confrontational spectrum. We break down the exact moments we shift gears depending on the crowd—because the way you handle a coworker is very different from how you handle a partner, a friend, or a total stranger. We’re diving deep into the art of disappearing when things get too real, versus the times we chose to stick around way too long trying to rewrite a "fixer-upper" relationship and giving the benefit of the doubt until the wheels fell off. Grab a drink and come call yourself out with us. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Ep 4 | The Undertone of Blue: Therapy Timelines, and Finding Motivation, Seeking Professional Help, and Forcing Action

Trigger Warning: This episode contains candid conversations surrounding depression, self-harm, and disordered eating. Please take care of yourself while listening. No, but listen… what happens when the "after" of chasing your biggest dreams just feels kinda heavy? This week, we are stripping away the filtered versions of our lives to have a real, unfiltered deep dive into our mental health. We’re opening up about the reality of living with a constant undertone of depression, and how our relationship with sadness, self-harm, and disordered eating has changed from the past to right now. From the exact moments we realized we needed to seek professional help to the messy reality of trying to find the motivation to function day-to-day, we’re laying it all out. Are we supposed to wait until we're in an emotionally good place to start our days, or do we just have to force ourselves into action and hope the feelings catch up? Grab a drink, get vulnerable with us, and listen to two best friends talk about the things we usually only say to our therapists. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Ep 1 | The NYC Pivot: Acting, The Proposal, The Breakup, Living Alone, The Wedding, PDA & Mr.Disick

Welcome to the No, But Listen era! In our premiere episode, Kathryn and Racquel serve the ultimate lore on how they went from undergrad besties and acting school mavens to living totally unfiltered and juxtaposed lives in the concrete jungle. We’re breaking down the main character energy required to transition from MFA acting programs to Kathryn’s corporate girlie lifestyle and Racquel’s grind in the industry. Kathryn shares the exclusive on her engagement and the wedding planning aesthetic, while Racquel gets vulnerable about her breakup and the soft life of living alone in NYC for the first time. We tackle the attachment style debate, from Racquel’s love for PDA and constant attention to Kathryn’s low-key introvert boundaries, while spilling the tea on the iconic Disick-Kardashian and Disick-Hamlin timelines. From the green flags of splitting chores to the nostalgia of singlehood and manifesting what’s next, it’s raw, it’s relatable, and it’s giving everything. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
