Turns Out, I Might Be the Problem.

🎙 Episode 75: Turns Out, I Might Be the Problem. Well... this is uncomfortable. What happens when you spend a lot of time trying to understand everyone else's behavior, only to realize you might want to take a closer look at your own? Turns out, self-awareness is not always the fun little personality upgrade we thought it would be. 😂 In this episode, we're getting real about our journeys into and through therapy. ✨ What finally led us to therapy and what it felt like taking that first step ✨ The things we thought we needed to work on versus what actually came up ✨ The uncomfortable moments when you realize some of your patterns, reactions, and behaviors might be yours to own ✨ How therapy has changed the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and the people around us ✨ The difference between knowing something about yourself and actually doing the work to change it ✨ The vulnerable, messy, funny, and sometimes downright uncomfortable parts of learning to understand yourself This isn't about having it all figured out or pretending therapy magically fixes everything. It's about being willing to look inward, ask harder questions, and take responsibility for the parts of ourselves we can change. Because sometimes the biggest breakthrough isn't figuring out why everyone else is making you crazy. It's realizing you might be contributing to the chaos. Respectfully... turns out I can't control everybody else, and apparently that's where my homework starts.

🎙 Episode 74: Respectfully No Chit Chat Some weeks you need deep healing… and other weeks you just need to talk about absolutely nothing for 40 minutes. This is that episode. It’s the group chat energy you wish your actual group chat gave, complete with chaotic story detours, unsolicited opinions, and the kind of honest laughs that feel like a warm hug and a tiny bit of judgment in the best way.   In this episode, we’re talking about:   ✨ Anything and everything we probably should’ve saved for a voice memo   ✨ What we’re watching, loving, ignoring, and irrationally invested in right now   ✨ A lighthearted hang-out so you can get to know us without needing emotional stamina   Because sometimes the most healing thing you can do is laugh, overshare, and forget your responsibilities for one episode-length amount of time.         ——   Let’s stay connected!   📲 Instagram: @respectfullyno.pod   📧 Email us: [email protected]         🎧 Listen & follow on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Podbean — basically wherever you get your weekly audio therapy         If this episode hit home, share it with a friend who needs it.

🎙 Episode 73: Fall Is a Personality and We're Not Apologizing   Some people see cooler weather. We see cozy blankets, oversized sweatshirts, pumpkin everything, spooky season, comfort food, and a perfectly reasonable excuse to make our entire lives look like a fall Pinterest board. 🍂 And no, we will not be taking questions at this time.   In this episode, we’re talking about:   ✨ Why fall isn't just a season, it's a whole mood and possibly a core personality trait ✨ The candles, cozy drinks, decorations, and little rituals that make us unreasonably happy ✨ Romanticizing the everyday and finding joy in the small things ✨ Why some of us are emotionally attached to fall before the temperature even drops ✨ The comfort of seasonal traditions, nostalgia, and making our own little moments of happiness ✨ Why we're fully embracing what we love, even if everyone else thinks we've lost the plot   Because sometimes joy looks like a perfectly basic pumpkin drink, a ridiculously cozy blanket, and being excited about something just because it makes you happy.   Respectfully... if loving fall is wrong, we're not interested in being right. Pass the pumpkin coffee. 🍁   ---   Let’s stay connected!   📲 Instagram: @respectfullyno.pod 📧 [email protected] 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Podbean.   If this episode hit home, share it with a friend.

🎙 Episode 72: Found Family & The People Who Show Up   We grow up hearing that family is everything. That blood is thicker than water, that family comes first, and that the people we're related to will always be there for us. But sometimes, the people who feel the most like home aren't related to us at all. ❤️   In this episode, we’re talking about:   ✨ What found family really means and why some friendships become something deeper ✨ The people who show up for us, not because they have to, but because they genuinely want to ✨ The difference between being related to someone and actually feeling connected to them ✨ How friendships can become our safe places through life's hardest seasons and biggest changes ✨ Learning to appreciate the people who consistently show up instead of chasing the ones who don't ✨ Giving ourselves permission to build a circle that feels like love, support, and belonging   Because family isn't always about who shares your last name or your DNA. Sometimes it's the friend who answers the phone, remembers the little things, sits with you in the hard moments, and chooses you over and over again.   Respectfully... family might be who you're born to, but your people are the ones who show up. And that kind of love deserves to be celebrated.   ---   Let’s stay connected!   📲 Instagram: @respectfullyno.pod 📧 [email protected] 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Podbean.   If this episode hit home, share it with a friend.

🎙 Episode 71: When Did Everything Get So Complicated? Remember when you could just... call someone? Or walk into a place? Or buy something without creating an account, downloading an app, verifying your email, confirming you're not a robot, and answering security questions you haven't thought about since 2014? 😂 In this episode, we’re talking about: ✨ Why everything seems to require an app now ✨ How simple tasks somehow became 27-step processes ✨ The absolute nightmare of trying to actually TALK to a human being ✨ Passwords, verification codes, logins, subscriptions, QR codes, and remembering which email you used for what ✨ Why technology was supposed to make our lives easier... and yet somehow we're more exhausted ✨ The nostalgia for when doing one thing didn't require an entire damn project plan Because sometimes we don't need another app, another password, or another “your estimated wait time is 47 minutes.” We just need someone to answer the phone. Respectfully... technology was supposed to simplify our lives. Who exactly are we supposed to complain to about this? Oh wait. There's probably an app for that.

🎙 Episode 70: Both. I Went Through It and I Finally Get It (Sorta) Sometimes you can't understand a chapter while you're still living in it. You have to get some distance, let the dust settle, and become a little more of yourself before you can finally look back and think, “Oh... I get it now.” In this episode, we’re talking about: ✨ The things we had to live through before we could truly understand them ✨ How distance can give us perspective that we simply couldn't have while we were in the middle of it ✨ The moments when something finally clicks and we understand why a particular experience changed us ✨ Realizing that some of our reactions, patterns, fears, or strengths make a whole lot more sense when we look back at where they came from ✨ The difference between knowing what happened and actually understanding what it meant ✨ Making peace with old versions of ourselves who were doing the best they could with what they knew at the time Because sometimes healing isn't forgetting what happened. It's finally being able to look at it from a different place and understand the woman it created. Respectfully... sometimes the clarity doesn't come until you're far enough away to finally see the whole damn picture.

🎙 Episode 68: Adult Things No One Prepares You For Nobody tells you that being an adult is basically just Googling things, making appointments, paying bills, and hoping you didn't forget something important. 😂 In this episode, we’re talking about: ✨ The random adult responsibilities nobody warned us would become our problem ✨ Making appointments, managing money, insurance, home repairs, and all the other “fun” stuff ✨ The emotional weight of being responsible for everyone and everything ✨ Things we assumed we'd magically know how to handle by now ✨ The moments when we look around and think, “Wait... I'M the adult?!” Because sometimes adulthood isn't about having it all figured out. It's about figuring it out while quietly wondering if everyone else is just winging it too. Respectfully... if there was supposed to be an adulting handbook, we would like to speak to management.

🎙 Episode 67: Our Relationship With Age Is Broken Somewhere along the way, we started treating getting older like a personal failure instead of the literal privilege of being alive. And honestly... who approved that nonsense? 😂 In this episode, we’re talking about: ✨ Why we’re so obsessed with looking younger, acting younger, and pretending we don’t know our actual age ✨ The weird pressure women feel to “age gracefully” while somehow never actually looking older ✨ How our relationship with our bodies, accomplishments, careers, motherhood, and identity changes as we get older ✨ The things we thought would matter at 30, 40, or 50 that suddenly don't seem so important anymore ✨ Learning to appreciate the woman we are now instead of constantly mourning the woman we used to be Because getting older isn't the problem. Constantly believing we should be younger is. Respectfully... we're not aging out of life. We're finally getting old enough to give fewer damn what everyone else thinks.

🎙 Episode 66: Unbothered? Yeah....About That   “I’m not bothered.” Girl. Your face, your tone, and the 47 times you’ve replayed the conversation in your head would like a word. 😂   In this episode, we’re talking about:   ✨ What we really mean when we say “it doesn’t bother me” ✨ Why some things get under our skin more than we want to admit ✨ The difference between being genuinely unbothered and simply pretending we are ✨ Overthinking, replaying conversations, and wondering why we care so damn much ✨ Learning when to speak up, when to let it go, and when something actually deserves our attention   Because sometimes being unbothered isn't about pretending you don't care. It's about being honest enough to admit that you do, figuring out why, and deciding what you're going to do about it.   Respectfully... emotional maturity is realizing “I don't care” and “I care but I'm not going to let it run my life” are NOT the same thing.   ---   Let’s stay connected!   📲 Instagram: @respectfullyno.pod 📧 [email protected] 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Podbean.   If this episode hit home, share it with a friend.
