  • Screaming Insecurities & Shit-filled Sunsets
    Jun 17 2022

    We told you this season would be raw & unfiltered, Becca recounts past encounters, lessons of self-awareness of her own that so many of us have experienced when fighting our insecurities. Sometimes we need the blunt, hard truth to be shoved right in our faces. Sometimes we need to swallow the pill of the ugly truths. Extreme emotions can blur our view. Self-awareness put simply is defined by the Oxford dictionary as conscious knowledge of one's own character, feelings, motives, and desires. For example: "the process can be painful but it leads to greater self-awareness".

    Jun 10 2022

    Today Becca talks about a standard that's been found to be so unprogressive for us as a stigma-society. Why are we not celebrating friends or families non-traditional milestones properly? And why is someone's life considered to be any less stressful just because they don’t have a husband or children? A hard reminder to get to know your people and how to best celebrate them.

    On today's episode, Becca talks about her experiences with dating apps and how they have become taxing on her mental health (can we get an amen?). The woes of dating as a millennial in New York City can be nothing short of terrifying, but how else can we meet someone in this climate? Is repeating this process insanity? Are we settling out of desperation and the craving for personal connection? How do we allow the bad situations from our pasts to stay just there? Come unpack it all!
