Life and Bullshyt 🫶🏼

Angry Doesn’t Mean Bad

Anger isn’t always aggression. Sometimes it’s exhaustion. Sometimes it’s hurt. Sometimes it’s feeling unseen. In this episode, we talk about what happens when people push your buttons and how to navigate those moments without becoming someone you don’t want to be.

Holding It Together While Falling Apart

ately, life has felt heavy. This episode is an honest conversation about the emotional weight of having a sick family member… the fear that quietly follows you around all day… and the strange pressure to still smile, function, parent, work, and pretend everything is okay while your mind is constantly somewhere else. We talk about anticipatory grief, responsibility, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, and what it feels like to desperately want life to go back to “normal” while realizing things may never fully feel the same again. If you’ve ever sat staring at your phone waiting for hospital updates… felt guilty for taking a moment to laugh… or carried the silent fear of “what if something happens?” — this episode is for you. You are not alone in this. Life & Bullshit with Janine Schwartz — real conversations about life, emotions, healing, fear, family, and trying to hold it all together when life feels uncertain. jschwartz051@gmail.com

Dermaplaning

What is derma planing?, benefits, risks, and advice on doing research before choosing a facility. Not all or equal.

You’re Allowed to Need Space

In this episode, we’re talking about something so many parents feel but rarely admit out loud — sometimes we just need a moment alone. Not because we don’t love our kids, but because parenting can be overwhelming, overstimulating, and exhausting. This is an honest conversation about guilt, burnout, needing peace, and normalizing the fact that parents are human too.

The Habit of Hurting

Addiction doesn’t always look the way people think it does. Sometimes it’s substances. Sometimes it’s habits, coping mechanisms, or patterns we can’t seem to escape. This episode is about the fight happening inside the mind, the shame people carry in silence, and the hope that healing is still possible even when progress isn’t perfect.
