In this first part of a deeply personal two-part series, we talk about the physical side of health struggles - the diagnoses, injuries, and moments that changed how we move through the world.

We share our own medical stories with honesty and humor, including chronic illness, injuries, and the losses that come with them - especially when your go-to coping skills disappear overnight.

This episode is about what happens to the body: the waiting, the tests, the uncertainty, and the quiet grief that comes when your physical reality shifts.

Part II will focus on the mental and emotional impact - identity, shame, medical dismissal, and how connection helps us survive what our bodies put us through.

If you're navigating health issues, chronic pain, or a season when your body feels unfamiliar, this one's for you.

Why does boredom feel so uncomfortable now? And why do we avoid it at all costs?

In this episode, we unpack why boredom has become almost intolerable in modern life - and what our brains are actually doing when we reach for our phones, snacks, scrolling, or anything to escape stillness. We talk habit loops, dopamine, discomfort, and why "just sit with it" feels impossible for so many of us.

We also challenge the idea that boredom is something to fix - and explore how tolerating small moments of boredom might actually help with emotional regulation, focus, and breaking unwanted habits.

Low pressure. No shame. Just two therapists getting curious about why doing nothing feels so hard.

Ever wonder why you know what to do... but still can't seem to do it?

In this episode, we break down why habits are so hard to change - and it's not because you lack motivation or discipline. We talk about how the brain, nervous system, and past experiences work together to keep patterns in place, even when they no longer serve us.

We unpack:

• Why willpower alone doesn't work
• How stress and survival wiring reinforce habits
• The emotional comfort hidden inside "bad habits."
• What actually helps habits shift in a way that sticks

If you've ever felt frustrated with yourself for falling back into old patterns, this episode is a reminder: you're not broken - your brain is doing exactly what it learned to do.

Come for the insight. Stay for the compassion (and probably a laugh or two).
