It wasn’t official — but it still hurt like hell.
In this episode, we unpack why situationships can feel just as painful as real breakups.
From the psychology of “ambiguous loss” to the emotional chemistry of attachment, we explore why almost-love can break your heart even without the title.

Because sometimes, the hardest thing to get over isn’t what ended — it’s what never got the chance to begin.

She wore blazers, built empires, and rebranded ambition — until it all collapsed under its own glitter.
In this episode, we unpack the rise and fall of the “girlboss” era: how empowerment became an aesthetic, how hustle culture hijacked feminism, and why the movement eventually crumbled.

From startup queens to burnout memes, this is the story of how the “girlboss” went from icon to irony — and what her downfall reveals about power, capitalism, and being a woman in the modern world.

Because maybe real empowerment isn’t about climbing the ladder — it’s about questioning who built it in the first place.

Beauty feels personal—but its standards have been anything but.
In this episode, we take a wild ride through the strange, often brutal history of beauty: from lead-based face paint in Renaissance Europe to corsets, colonial skin ideals, 90s waifs, and social-media filters.

Why did people in one era worship pale skin? Why did another idolize fragility? How do these histories ripple into the pressures we feel today?

Join me as we unpack the weird, surprising, and powerful stories behind what it means to be “beautiful.”
