Ep. 10: Life Through Millennial Hues Part 1

Ep. 15: What Does Connection Look and Feel Like in 2026? Part 2

We’re back for Part 2. As it turns out, we couldn’t fit everything this topic explores into just two episodes. So yes, there will be a Part 3. You really can’t go wrong with a good trilogy. In this conversation, Carlos and I explore the evolving nature of love, relationships, and connection in the modern world. We discuss the impact of social media, cultural influences, emotional vulnerability, and the importance of authenticity.

Ep. 14: What Does Connection Look and Feel Like in 2026? Part 1

In this episode of Think Piece, I sit down with director and cinematographer Carlos Juárez for an honest conversation about love, dating, and human connection in 2026. Together, we explore how relationships are shifting in a world shaped by social media, dating apps, AI, and an increasing sense of disconnection—while also reflecting on the very real human desire to still be seen, understood, and loved. This episode moves through personal stories, observations about modern culture, and the strange beauty and complexity of trying to connect in a rapidly changing world. It’s thoughtful, reflective, funny in moments, and deeply human at its core.

Ep. 13: Surviving Generational Trauma — Part 2: Healing Is a Paradox

In Part 2, Julia and I talk about what happens when healing is put to the test. We talk about the unexpected triggers that remind us the work is never really over—and how being triggered doesn’t mean you’re going backwards. This is an honest conversation about boundaries, self-protection, and choosing yourself in moments that once would have pulled you back. Spoiler alert: we both cried. Because healing is a paradox.

Ep. 12: When the Oldest Child Becomes the Parent - Surviving Generational Trauma Part 1

What happens when the oldest child stops being the child? In this episode, Julia and I talk about what it really looks like to grow up in chaos—and how, for many of us, that meant stepping into roles we were never meant to carry. We get into the quiet weight of being the “responsible one,” the protector, the one who holds everything together… and how those patterns don’t just disappear when childhood ends. This isn’t a clinical conversation. It’s an honest one. We talk about how those experiences shape the way you move through relationships, how you see yourself, and how hard it can be to unlearn the survival modes that once kept you safe. But we also talk about healing. About awareness. About breaking cycles. And about what it means to finally choose something different for yourself.

Ep. 11: Life Through Millennial Hues (Part 2)

In Part 2 of Life Through Millennial Hues, we explore the emotional landscape of the millennial generation. From therapy language and burnout culture to loneliness, dating apps, and redefining relationships, this conversation looks at how millennials are navigating love, work, and identity in a rapidly changing world. We also talk about creativity, purpose, and the quieter ways this generation is building meaningful lives beyond traditional definitions of success. This is a human conversation about what it feels like to grow up as a millennial and what this generation may be getting right as it reshapes ideas about connection, fulfillment, and the future.
