The Devil's in the Doomscroll: How to Stay Informed...

No, You"re Not Dying ·

2026/03/25

How exactly does a person go about living their life and maintaining sanity while also constantly consuming news from the world around them that seems all bad, all the time? No clue, but we're trying to figure it out. In today's listener-requested episode (thank you!!), we're discussing how to balance staying informed about the world without burning ourselves out, and how to avoid doomscrolling (as best we can). While sharing our own experiences with this dilemma, we talk about strategi...

No, You"re Not Dying ·

2026/03/18

Whoever said that complaining is bad for you obviously just doesn't get it. It can be funny, a way to vent, and a means of connection - and there doesn't have to be an end goal or solution you're aiming for. Today, we're chatting about why complaining gets an often undeserved bad rap, how to know when you're taking it too far, when to offer solutions versus when to just listen, and why humor can make us feel better about the things that are making us unhappy. Then, we're getting into th...

Stop Gatekeeping Things as an Adult. It's Weird.

No, You"re Not Dying ·

2026/03/11

Today's episode is brought to you by the first warm day in months and the confusion that comes with daylight savings. We're feeling extra chatty with our highs and lows this week, covering everything from entitled people in parking lots to German restaurants to Harry Styles and yet another meltdown over the Lion King (cue: look, there's a lion, omg). Then, we recap an experience from a year ago that led Joyce to realize how weird it is to gatekeep information as an adult (and also serve...

The Balancing Act: Sharing Routines, Raising Kids,...

No, You"re Not Dying ·

2026/03/04

Having kids and starting a family can be such an idealized experience: the fun! the adventure! the excitement! But it also is a full-time job with immense responsibility. Add maintaining and running a home, and the pressure on parents rises. Add a working parent (or two), and it increases ten-fold. Inspired by the show All Her Fault, this week we're talking about how to balance raising kids while working and sharing responsibilities between partners. We dive into the different expectations pl...

Why We're Attracted to People Who Are Mean to Us

No, You"re Not Dying ·

2026/02/25

Have you ever pursued the 'bad boy' over the 'nice guy'? The one with a bit of an edge, who you feel cares about you but also really...doesn't? If you have, it's no surprise: among other things, we're taught from a young age that the boys who bully us in school really like us, and we've popularized the enemies to lovers trope in the books, tv, and movies that we consume. So today, we're diving into how this relationship dynamic plays out as adults. We talk about why we tend to push peop...

No, You"re Not Dying ·

2026/02/18

Some weeks are for relatable advice, and some weeks are...not. When life feels chaotic, sometimes you just have to get out of your head and find joy in what's around you. Today we're attempting to change our moods and our outlooks by sharing the things we're loving right now - from our morning routines, to favorite pieces of clothing, the coconut water that changed it all, and the podcasts we listen to as people who famously don't listen to podcasts. Through our conversation, we learn t...

2026/02/11

Today is a very special episode because we are celebrating one year of No, You're Not Dying!! Time has both flown and moved at an exceedingly glacial pace, and we're recapping and reflecting on the last 365 days: what we've learned, what has surprised us, what's been left on the cutting room floor, and what we hope for the next year. In the spirit of our podcasting anniversary, we're then getting into how to know when to break away from the status quo and what you're told you should do/be, an...

Body Image in the Age of GLP-1s

No, You"re Not Dying ·

2026/02/04

This week we're having an honest conversation around body image in a time where it seems like everyone is getting smaller. We're sharing our thoughts on the shift from 'health at every size' to 'nothing tastes as good as skinny feels' and the whiplash that comes with it, the fundamental misconception that it's everyone's goal to lose weight, and how we place too much value on what we look like versus who we are. We also discuss the marketing of weight-loss medications and its implications, th...

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 ...

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

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?

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? Is there a feeling of 'meh' where there's usually a feeling of 'merry and bright'? Us too. Today, we're getting real about the complex emotions around this time of the year. We kick off with our thoughts on why recent world events have led to feelings of hopelessness and defeat for many of us, and how stories of family tragedy can impact t...

Need a Getaway? Plan a Trip to Hallmark, USA

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...
