We Have Absolutely No Self-Control

We took a break from the podcast because, in true overthinker fashion, we somehow managed to take our It's Not That Serious era a little too seriously.In this episode, we're catching up on why we disappeared, how trying to fit everything into the shy introvert box started limiting our creativity, and why we're learning to let go of the pressure to make everything perfect.After a year of podcasting, we're realizing just how much we've grown, how much more confident we've become, and why it's okay to evolve beyond the labels we once identified with.We're still the same two shy, introverted friends figuring things out as we go. We're just making a little more room for curiosity, creativity, and fun.💛 You don't have to stay the same person you were when you started.💛 Growth sometimes means giving yourself permission to change.And as always, we're rooting for you.Contact Us: [email protected]:Theme Song: Bodega Cat by Dyalla
