Move over, Mean Girls — the cafeteria politics were real.
This week on Twin Tangents: The Syllabus Is Trauma, Anthony and Nalee crack open the filing cabinet labeled “school shame” and pull out every glittery gold star, bathroom pass, and detention slip we’re still low-key healing from.
We’re talking:
🍕 Cafeteria cold wars, saved seats, and why “popular” always equals jock-core
🎓 Gold stars → adult validation loops (and how to break them)
🧠 Imposter syndrome vs. “I’m just authentic, babe” — do we belong or just fake it better?
👩🏫 Teachers who changed us… and the petty ones we’re still bitter about
🏠 Traditional milestones that kinda flopped (degrees, home buying, reality checks)
🧰 Classes we actually needed: budgeting, credit, car basics, real-world civics, mental health
💪 Redefining success: C = complete, bills paid = A+, getting out of bed = extra credit
It’s detention, group project, pep talk, and roast — all in one chaotic study hall. Expect tangents, tender moments, and a very real pause for a tough news moment, too.
For anyone who still hears a guidance counselor in their head or is learning to clap for “average” — pull up a tray and sit with us.
🎙️ The syllabus is trauma. The healing is self-paced.
A calm, grounding welcome that rejects “new year, new you” energy and invites listeners to breathe, settle in, and show up exactly as they are.
A preview of January’s themes—identity shifts, seasonal funks, spicy rants, and the joy of not having it all together.
A warm, humorous reminder to follow, review, and share the show—because community keeps the messy conversations going.
A soft motivational pause that reminds listeners growth doesn’t have to be loud, productive, or linear to count.
A gentle send-off reminding listeners that growth can be quiet, boundaries can be subtle, and change doesn’t need an audience.
