Adult Friendships Are Hard — and no one really prepares you for that.

In this episode of Should We Unpack This, we’re unpacking what it really looks like to maintain friendships in your 30s. From trying Bumble BFF to make new friends, to navigating evolving relationships as life changes, careers grow, and priorities shift — adult friendships can feel complicated, emotional, and sometimes lonely. We reflect on friendships from our youth, the people we’ve known for years, and how some friends have been part of every chapter of our lives. We also talk about the reality of allowing certain friendships to fade away — even when nothing “bad” happened.

New Year, New Me — Are We Over It?

Every January comes with the same message: it’s time to reset, reinvent, and become a “new” version of ourselves. But where did that idea actually come from — and is it still serving us?

In this episode of Should We Unpack This?, we’re unpacking the origins of New Year’s resolutions and how they’ve evolved from communal promises rooted in accountability into modern-day pressure to fix ourselves. We reflect on how we’ve approached the beginning of a new year in the past, the expectations we’ve placed on ourselves, and how our perspective on resolutions has shifted over time.

We talk about hustle culture, productivity, self-improvement, and why January can feel more stressful than motivating. Plus, we explore alternatives to traditional resolutions — like intentions, values, and letting go of the idea that growth has to start on January 1st.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, behind, or disconnected from the whole “new year, new me” mindset, this episode is for you.
