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

Ep 6 | High-end habits : Lost engagement ring, Makeup must-spends, And where we draw the line

No, but listen… is it actually a splurge if it keeps your sanity intact? And more importantly, how do you handle losing the most expensive piece of jewelry you own? This week, we are looking at our bank accounts and getting painfully honest about our spending habits—starting with the absolute panic of Kathryn losing her engagement ring. Once we stop hyperventilating over that, we’re breaking down our absolute must-spends, from our daily coffee rituals and holy grail skincare treatments to the vacations that keep us going. Plus, we’re doing a deep dive into our makeup bags to talk about the brands we will always drop cash on—yes, we are talking Dior, Fenty, Anastasia, and Milk. But it’s not all luxury. We’re also getting into the fast-food spots that are worth every penny, and the ultimate debate: when do you spend the money just for the pure convenience of it, and when do you save your coins and spend the time DIY’ing it instead? Grab your favorite iced coffee, open up your budgeting apps (or don't, we won't judge), and listen to two best friends talk about how we prioritize our coin. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

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.
