Losing Recipes

Keeping Up with the Joneses

We’ve all heard the phrase — but who actually are the Joneses? Doubl R breaks down the real nature of comparison culture: who we’re chasing, why we picked them, and the uncomfortable truth that somebody out there is keeping up with you right now. Plus — how to stop running somebody else’s race and start keeping up with the only person that actually matters. Tag @doublr_r on X / @thedoublr on IG — who are the Joneses in your life, and do you actually want what they have?

Losing Recipes

Everybody has a dish they can describe but can’t recreate — because the person who made it never wrote it down. Doubl R uses that feeling as a doorway into something bigger: the cultural recipes, family traditions, and ways of doing things that are disappearing without replacements being built in their place. Not all loss is bad. But the new recipes aren’t forming fast enough — and that gap is worth talking about. Tag @doublr_r on X / @thedoublr on IG — what’s a recipe you lost that you wish had been passed down?

Stand (in) the Rain

Ever notice how people sprint when it rains like their life depends on it? Doubl R turns that everyday observation into a full conversation about how we respond to discomfort — in the weather and in life. What does your relationship with rain say about how you handle pressure, hard seasons, and things outside your control? Tag @doublr_r on X / @thedoublr on IG — what’s a season you ran from that you wish you’d stood in longer?

Back & Better

Doubl R is back from a week off and stepping into Season 2 with a new format and a new focus. Less life updates, more real perspective — weekly topics on culture, creativity, the come-up, and everything in between. Now on YouTube too. This week’s topic: the intentional pause. Why stepping back isn’t quitting — and how a week off brought more clarity than a month of grinding on autopilot. Tag @doublr_r on X / @thedoublr on IG — what’s something you paused on that came back clearer?

50 Episodes + NIF Update

Doubl R from the Chi celebrates a major milestone: 50 episodes of the podcast. Started during detox just to stay busy — never imagined reaching this point. Thanking myself and every listener for the support (listening, sharing, kind words). NIF update: First pair of Normal Is Fiction sweats arrived — unbagging video dropping soon. Sweats feel and fit great! Looking forward to adding them to the collection. Site is live and growing. Post-detox life strong. Daily motivation Mon-Fri (with flex). Tag @doublr_r on X – what milestone are you celebrating? Let’s toast to the reps. 🌟50️⃣
