Why Discomfort Leads Us to Distance from Others

No, You"re Not Dying ·

2026/01/28

This week, we were inspired by a video we saw from @sarahcha.d on Instagram where she mentioned that we are all one step away from being unable to afford food. It got us thinking about our own vulnerabilities, the fragility of life, and how that awareness promotes empathy. We dig into why people distance and create an 'other' mentality when they want to avoid difficult things, how we take our standing in life for granted, and why a little compassion can go a long way. We also discuss why the ...

2026/01/25

If you’ve seen the Hulu show Tell Me Lies, you know that the characters range from bad-decision-makers to straight-up-evil. And every episode, you think ‘it can’t possibly get worse’ - and then it does. So, I wanted to get Dr. Beth’s take. In today’s bonus episode, we’re doing a recap of the first four episodes of Season 3, covering the craziest moments (in our opinions) so far. Then, we’re diving into a Q&A on the character’s behaviors, personalities, and choices, all from a psychologist...

To Know or to Not Know, That is the Question

No, You"re Not Dying ·

2026/01/21

This week's episode kicks off with a harrowing tale of a snowy drive gone awry (wear your seatbelts, folks!), followed by another ~unfiltered thoughts~ segment on: protein coffee (gross), cybertrucks (ew), grocery store hauls (acceptable for Trader Joe's only), and self-checkout kiosks (hate). Then, we're diving into the concept of not being okay with not knowing something. Have you ever nodded along, pretending to have watched a TV show someone is talking about, even though you hadn't? Like,...

Scriptwriting 101: How to rewrite your inner dialogue

No, You"re Not Dying ·

2026/01/14

Today's episode is brought to you by two recent experiences Joyce had that made her realize that perhaps the way we speak to ourselves does, in fact, matter (and also that we need to be a lot nicer to ourselves). We're chatting about the often automatic nature of our negative voices, where they might come from, and how to rewrite them. We cover whether our internal dialogue is really a reflection of how we've been spoken to, moving from negative to neutral self-talk, the importance of channel...

Surviving the Return to Work

No, You"re Not Dying ·

2026/01/07

Ideal world: you come back from vacation rested, recharged, and ready to take on the work week. You pre-planned, your to-do list was to-done before you left, and you're at inbox zero. Reality: you haven't had a routine in weeks, every project you put off from before your break is due, everyone is circling back, and your inbox is out of control. Oh yeah, and your to-do list? Miles long. In today's episode, we're chatting about how to have a successful first week back at work after a break, and...

Should We Even Be Making New Years Resolutions?

No, You"re Not Dying ·

2025/12/31

We've made it to the end of the year! Have you made your resolutions yet that you'll probably give up on by February? (sry not sry)...but maybe we can help. Today, we're discussing whether resolutions are worth making for the start of a new year and why we struggle with following through. We talk about why any day can be 1/1, why the intention behind a resolution really does matter, and the fundamental flaws with messaging like 'new year, new you'. Then, we share practical solutions on making...

It's Okay to Feel Bummed Out This Holiday Season

2025/12/17

Are you approaching the holidays with a bit of a 'what's going on here?' mentality? Do you normally feel excited for the season, and now you're just...not?

Need a Getaway? Plan a Trip to Hallmark, USA

No, You"re Not Dying ·

2025/12/10

Every year in late fall, we are blessed with the return of Hallmark Holiday movies. Do we watch them because we are obsessed with small-town holiday festivals, can't wait to watch strangers drink hot cocoa, or want to live vicariously through someone else decorating a freshly-baked, intricate gingerbread house that we know we could never make? Or do they serve a bigger purpose? Today we're talking about the appeal of these movies around the holidays and why they might be the stress-free getaw...

2025/12/03

If you've ever felt insane stress and pressure around the holidays to come up with the perfect gifts for the people in your life, this episode is for you. This week, we're talking about consumerism culture, the early-onset holiday season, and why finding the 'perfect' holiday gift is kind of a fool's errand. We chat about why having more options to buy from can lead to more confusion, why we have such a hard time buying the items that people tell us they want, and how we can accidentally corr...

It's Time to Break Up With Your Phone

No, You"re Not Dying ·

2025/11/26

A tale as old as (recent) times: being addicted to your phone. What started as a way to stay in touch with loved ones has ended up as a small pocket computer with hundreds of ways to distract you, from your own photo album to news apps to looking up every single thought you've ever had on the internet. Does it help that so many of us can't even remember a time when we didn't have a cell phone? We'll let you decide. Today, we're digging into why so many of us have an unhealthy relationship wit...

We're back with Part 3 of our Friend-ly Advice series! Have you ever had a 'friend' that you genuinely care about who only contacts you when they want to brag about how amazing their life is, or use you for favors, your connections, caretaking, etc.? We have, and it's a real bummer. So today, we're talking about how to recognize if you're in a one-sided friendship and whether it's worth trying to save. We cover why it can be hard to detach from this type of friend - even if it's loser energy ...

Learning to Accept Your Family for Who They Are

No, You"re Not Dying ·

2025/11/12

There comes a point in our lives when we realize that our parents and our children are not exactly who we thought they would be - they're flawed, imperfect, and perhaps incredibly irritating, but we have to accept them as they are because the alternative is just being constantly angry and giving ourselves tension headaches and ulcers. And if you're thinking...yes 100% absolutely but how exactly do we learn to accept our family, then get your headphones on because this episode is for you. Toda...

Single As A Pringle And Looking For Love

It feels like these days, dating is harder than ever. Either people met their partner on 1) a dating app or 2) in college, and there's no miscellaneous third option. So when you're in your thirties and don't want (read: refuse) to swipe, where are you supposed to meet people? *Cue: Raye's 'Where Is My Husband?'* This week we're trying to figure that out, whether you're chronically single or making dating a priority again after it...just wasn't.

Being an adult isn't all it's cracked up to be, which is probably why so many people are holding onto the last time they felt joyous freedom: being in college. The stakes were lower, there were fewer responsibilities, and you existed in a bubble. At some point, we all know we need to put our big kid pants on and grow up...but do you ever feel like you're the only one who did?

Well, one of us is sick and the other is crying to The Lion King again, so you could say we're hanging on by a thread! Anyway... Following the finale of The Summer I Turned Pretty (!!!!!) and Belly's moment of talking to a photo of herself as a child, we felt inspired to talk to our younger selves today - because you don't have to wait until your birthday or NYE to reflect.
