2026/04/09

When I picked up Jillian Turecki's "It Begins with You," I kept thinking: where was this book 12 years ago? I had to learn these dating lessons the hard way - depression, CPTSD, the whole mess. Zero out of 10, do not recommend learning it that way.The book breaks down 9 hard truths about dating and relationships: The mind is a battlefield - limiting beliefs like "my type's not my type" block you from finding someone and showing up fully Knowing theory versus embodying knowledge - revisiting

Women & Anger: Why We're Told Not to Be Angry and...

Growing with Sol ·

2026/03/30

Why is women's anger so often dismissed, suppressed, or even feared? The cool girl who doesn't get mad. The "hysterical" woman. The "spicy Latina." We're taught from childhood to be nice, polite, and agreeable - which actually means don't be angry, don't disrupt.Here's the truth about women and anger: Anger happens because we've been wronged - expressing it means accepting we're worthy of having that injustice corrected Every dismissal creates a feedback loop of "I am not worthy of better" that

The people I know who don't use social media seem lighter than the rest of us. If you can quit, do it. But for those of us who can't - because we use it for work or entertainment or both - it comes down to how we curate our feeds. Because algorithms are exploiting your vulnerabilities, and yes, you are susceptible to propaganda even if you think you're too smart for it.Here's what we're exploring about intentional feed curation: How passive consumption lets algorithms manipulate you (red pill

I have a friend who could live off a flip phone, just calls and texts, barely uses social media. I was so jealous. Because here I am with 10+ hours of screen time, doom scrolling in bed, clicking onto Instagram and immediately seeing buildings exploding. Sometimes I become too informed and need to dissociate for a bit.Here's what we're exploring about digital spring cleaning: How millennials remember when you had to GO to the internet (now there's no leaving it... it's everywhere) The pressure to

The New American Dream: How Definitions of Success...

Growing with Sol ·

2026/03/09

Let's face it - the American Dream is bullshit now. Or maybe it always was, because it was never supposed to pertain to someone like me anyway. But here's the thing: even the people it WAS designed for can't achieve it anymore. My parents owned a home at 35. I'm celebrating not having roommates.Here's what we're exploring about redefining success: How the American Dream shifted from consumerism (1895) to social mobility (1931) to complete fantasy (2026) The housing reality: $300k in 2012 → $500k

2026/03/02

The early 2000s beauty standards are back: low-rise jeans, "#SkinnyTok," Ozempic ads everywhere. I get GLP-1 ads every single day.

Love After Trauma: Healing From Toxic Relationships...

2026/02/16

I read a Threads post asking people to share the romantic thing they've always wanted but never had. I went from "oh that's relatable" to "this got me right in the trauma and I need to stop reading before I cry." We're all apparently just very traumatized from past relationships - and dating after romantic trauma is a mindfuck.Here's what we're exploring about love after trauma: The two paths after a toxic relationship: keep dating or pull back completely (why healing matters either way) Why
