How To Be Real

Real Intimacy, Fake Closeness, and Why We Don't Like That

Real intimacy has gotten confused with being seen. With shows like Love Island, Love Is Blind & others (that we watch + enjoy 😅) shaping how we think about closeness, real intimacy is getting lost in the plot. This week, we get into intimacy in the age of overexposure, talk about what our real-life superpowers are, send some love to NY for the Knicks playoff energy, and a new round of our fave segment "I Don't Like That."

Why Do I Hate Transitions

Why does it always feel so hard to be in that transitional period from one life experience to the next?! It could be something as simple as a change in your daily routine, or that time spent waiting for your next big opportunity to come knocking. Either way, it can drive a girl crazy!

Look at her go!

We took a beat this episode to actually look at ourselves: the women we are now vs. who we used to be, what we had to unlearn about womanhood, and what it’s meant to build a space where we can talk about all of it honestly. Plus, our thoughts on why TV/movies have become so grotesque, churches doing the right thing with their money, the Artemis 2 crew, and so much more! 🖤 If you’re more of a visuals girlie, catch up on our YouTube channel [https://www.youtube.com/@HowToBReal] AAAND… 💌 Send us a letter or question to be featured on the show, heyhowtobereal@gmail.com 😉 Subscribe for more conversations that go beneath the surface 🎧 Find us on Apple + Spotify [https://howtobereal.my.canva.site/htbr-pod-page] 📩 Join our Substack: How To Be Real [https://open.substack.com/users/330576002-how-to-be-real?utm_source=mentions] This is a public episode.
