It’s book club, baby! We discuss Defining Decade, the book about why your twenties “matter” and how to “make the most of them”. Author and therapist and Meg Jay, PhD, urges urgency, dismantles reckless relationships, and tells us to network like Benjamin Franklin. We weigh the merits of her suggestions with indignation. Mostly, Meg Jay tells us we’re doing it wrong.

Topics included: How to get out of a metaphoric ocean (cont.), identity cultivation, judgemental therapists, are your twenties long or short?

Have you felt changed by something you read, watched, or gulped down recently? Had a psychedelic or existential epiphany or a come to jesus moment? Did you wake up this morning feeling different? Better? Way worse? F*cked up recently and want to get it off your chest? Us too. Write us an email about it at [email protected]

F*ckboys Declassified

Rainie was ghosted in 2017 and so quite logically, she penned a seethingly well researched academic paper about how hookup culture perpetuates toxic masculinity and gendered power structures. On this episode, we break down multiple f*ckboy crimes and then we mull over the best ways to deal with the riffraff who wronged us (who we also can’t stop thinking about).

Topics included: The definition of a f*ckboy, the disrespect, the utter disrespect.

Have a more expansive definition of a f*ckboy? Have some incredible advice for listeners dealing with f*ckpeople? Hit our line. We won't ghost you. [email protected]

2020 For the Gals

It’s a perilous trial like no other: New Years Eve night, doomed before it even began. We roared into the 20s in our 20s. A lot transpired on that night and a lot has transpired since. We analyze mixed signals, destructive expectations, and the fallacy of the chill girl trope. Then, we talk resolutions--because if NYE is anything, it’s a time for reflection, intentions, and doing many things wrong in a compressed amount of time. The party commences here. Topics included: The anatomy of a revenge outfit, maternal affirmation, organic dance moves, beer to the face
