Ep 12: choose your hard

[VIDEO VERSION AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE]  In this season finale, we talk about what it really means to choose your hard. Because life — for all of us — is hard. Whether it’s staying in a relationship or leaving one, working on your health or neglecting it, chasing your dreams or playing it safe… it’s all hard. And it's ultimately up to you - which hard you can live with.  Throughout Season One, we’ve learned how to face our hard moments with honesty, accountability, and strength — and this final episode ties it all together. I’ll walk you through how to recognize your version of “hard,” how to own it, and why choosing the right hard can change everything. Plus, I’m leaving you with a challenge: choose your hard. 🎬 Stay tuned for Season Two of Someone Should Know — coming early 2026. 🎪 Show Links: Shallon Lester [https://www.youtube.com/@shallonlester] Jocko Willink TedTalk [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljqra3BcqWM] Extreme Ownership [https://a.co/d/5dSxxNQ] Will Smith Video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=260ou4_9mYI] 📲 Stay connected: YouTube: @someoneshouldknowpodcast [https://www.youtube.com/@someoneshouldknowpodcast] Instagram: @someoneshouldknowpodcast [https://www.instagram.com/someoneshouldknowpodcast] TikTok: @someone.should.know.pod [https://www.tiktok.com/@someone.should.know.pod] Host: @lydiashock [https://www.instagram.com/lydiashock] Theme Song: @ktjcarly [https://www.instagram.com/ktjcarly] If you or someone you know is battling their mental health, please call or text the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 988.

It’s been over a decade of learning how to be okay — for real this time.

If you’re in the middle of your hard season, or you’re just trying to make sense of where you’ve been — I hope this conversation reminds you that it does get better, slowly but surely. 📲 Stay connected: YouTube: @someoneshouldknowpodcast [https://www.youtube.com/@someoneshouldknowpodcast] Instagram: @someoneshouldknowpodcast [https://www.instagram.com/someoneshouldknowpodcast] TikTok: @someone.should.know.pod [https://www.tiktok.com/@someone.should.know.pod] Host: @lydiashock [https://www.instagram.com/lydiashock] Theme Song: @ktjcarly [https://www.instagram.com/ktjcarly] If you or someone you know is battling their mental health, please call or text the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 988.

Ep 10: growth is sllloooow

[VIDEO VERSION AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE]  We live in a world obsessed with instant results — quick fixes, overnight success, and 30-day transformations. But the truth? Real growth is rarely glamorous. It’s slow, steady, and sometimes painfully boring. In this episode, we’re talking about what growth actually looks like: the tiny choices that add up, the habits that feel mundane, and the patience it takes to build something that lasts. From paying off one credit card to skipping the drive-thru, we’re breaking down how progress happens in the smallest, quietest moments — and why that’s something to celebrate.
