As summer comes to a close, Eva and Caroline feel a shift—not just in the seasons, but in themselves. With six planets in retrograde, the universe practically demands a check-in. Are we living where and how we’re meant to? Do we stay on autopilot, or pause to ask if there are better ways to build the life we want?

They dive into the big questions—about living in New York, one’s purpose, whether it’s about the journey or the destination (or neither). While they might not seem “woo-woo,” they can’t ignore that this cosmic shake-up is causing them to reevaluate their lives. Because maybe the point is not to live like you have the answers, but like you’re still trying to figure them out.

Are we all just addicts chasing a dopamine hit — whether it's clicking buy now on Amazon or obsessively playing Blockblast? Maybe we're all in constant recovery, trading one vice for a so-called healthier one. In this raw and honest conversation, Shae and Howard share their path to sobriety, how they guide others through it, and why real recovery only works when you do it for yourself. They talk about when the fear of not changing outweighs the fear of changing, and how change moves at the pace of pain. Together, we explore what it takes to stop numbing and start living fully present.
