Ep 34: Water Goals, Wardrobe Cleanouts & Spooky Season

This week on Shades of Sanity, we’re catching up on all the little things currently taking up space in our lives and our brains. We chat about the HydroJug life and our ongoing efforts to drink more water, Em’s newest app idea and the inspiration behind it, and the surprisingly satisfying process of cleaning out your closet and making room for what actually fits your life right now. We also talk about fashion, accessories, and why some people firmly believe that when it comes to jewelry and finishing touches, more is definitely more. And because Halloween somehow made its way into the conversation (as it often does), we spend some time talking about everything we love about spooky season, from creative costumes and decorating to the sense of community and fun that comes with it. Grab your favorite oversized water bottle and come hang out with us for another episode full of laughs, life updates, and completely normal tangents. Listen now and let us know your thoughts.  New episodes every Friday at 7 a.m. EST Leave us a SpeakPipe message: https://www.speakpipe.com/ShadesOfSanity [https://www.speakpipe.com/ShadesOfSanity]

Ep 33: Netflix Documentary: The Crash

This week on Shades of Sanity, we’re diving into Netflix’s The Crash and the relationship dynamics that have everyone talking. We discuss: - emotional manipulation - toxic relationship patterns - teenage emotional intensity - social media and performative relationships - parenting, accountability, and family systems - the difference between emotional dysregulation and intentional harm This conversation goes way beyond true crime. It’s about the emotional patterns many people recognize in real life and why stories like this hit such a nerve. What happens when identity, obsession, immaturity, rejection, and emotional chaos collide? Listen now and let us know your thoughts.    New episodes every Friday at 7 a.m. EST  Leave us a SpeakPipe message: https://www.speakpipe.com/ShadesOfSanity [https://www.speakpipe.com/ShadesOfSanity] #ShadesOfSanity #TheCrash #Netflix #Podcast #TrueCrimeDiscussion

Ep 32: Life Updates & Viral Moments

This week on Shades of Sanity, Em & Rell are catching up on EVERYTHING. From going viral and the absolute chaos of the internet… to Rell’s oldest daughter graduating college (cue the emotional spiral )… to house updates, life shifts, overstimulation, and whatever other side quests we accidentally wandered into. Basically: a little life update, a little internet chaos, a little girl talk, and a lot of “how is THIS our life right now?” As always, the conversation went everywhere… and somehow still made sense.

Ep 31: Okay... But Why Are We Romanticizing This Again?

Apparently one episode of being mildly irritated wasn’t enough, because Em & Rell are back for part two of calling out the things society keeps packaging as “goals” when they’re actually stressful, unhealthy, unrealistic, or just deeply annoying to live through. This episode is equal parts: • girl talk • overstimulated opinions • side-eyeing the internet • and asking, “who convinced us this was aspirational?” If you’ve ever wanted people to just be honest about how hard some things really are… this one’s for you. 🎙 New episodes every Friday at 7 a.m. EST 💌 Leave us a SpeakPipe: https://www.speakpipe.com/ShadesOfSanity
