What's On Our Minds: Panic Lies, Mental Health Days, and the 'Disease' of Laziness

In this episode Anna’s clocking her monthly mental health day like a pro (with permission from the principal, no less), while Bracey has officially entered Day 10 of Mystery Illness #11. Spoiler: do NOT fly with congestion unless you want to spend the midnight hour googling “is my eardrum ruptured.” But emotionally? She’s crushing it. Astrology course enrolled, journaling intensified, vibes immaculate. What we got into 🌱 Hard seasons as compost. Bracey landed on the reframe of the year: “I haven’t felt like myself lately. I must be growing.” 💪 Self-efficacy as a tool, not a buzzword. Why finishing tiny things matters more than starting big ones. 🛬 Kristen Bell, the coffee, and the one cream. Adam Grant + K-Bell on people-pleasing as a selfish act (we know, we know). 🔢 Attitude numbers, decoded. If you’re not living in alignment with yours, you’re being messy. 🌀 The transition problem. What solitaire, sudoku, and oranges have in common. 🇯🇵 Seven Japanese cures for “laziness” (which they’re calling a DISEASE, harsh). We do not endorse calling laziness a disease. We DO endorse the tips. Tell us your panic lies Seriously. We need them.

The Book of Alchemy Book Review

Anna and Bracey crack open The Book of Alchemy: A Creative Practice for an Inspired Life by Suleika Jaouad — and it turns out, a book about journaling has a lot to say about the work of becoming. Suleika gathered wisdom from 100 writers, artists, and thinkers to explore how creativity can carry us through our hardest moments. In this episode, Anna and Bracey share their favorite chapters (yes, the Jon Batiste one comes up), try out a few journal prompts on each other, and talk about how a creative practice can double as a growth practice. If you’ve ever stared at a blank page — or a blank chapter of your life — and wondered where to start, this one’s for you. 🎧 Share with a friend who needs a little alchemy in their life.
