We may even recognize that being busy isn’t a status we strive for, yet we still find ourselves on the brink of burnout. So we dive deeper into why this may be happening and explore the impact of our work culture, societal expectations, and personal values on our actions and overall sense of fulfillment. We also talk about how we're addressing this in ourselves and trying not to just be busy fo...2023-03-151h 02Totally MentalStarting a New JobWe’re back! After a few weeks off we’re feeling rested, rejuvenated, and ready to shred the gnar again with you all. In this episode, we catch up on what it’s been like for both of us to start new jobs. Change - even when it's chosen and exciting - can still bring up a lot of uncomfortable feelings like anxiety and imposter syndrome. Plus, the complexities of starting a new job in a remote environment make it even more layered. So we are bringing you to our virtual bathroom floor where we discuss it all.

Emma is a mental health therapist based on the East Coast. We found her on TikTok where she makes videos on topics ranging from things your therapist wants you to know, why people seek out therapy, questions a therapist may ask you, and generally draws back the curtain on what goes on in the therapy room in order to reduce the stigma and fear around it. She’s incredible, and we dive into it all the questions with her. Don’t worry, we already asked her...2023-01-181h 07Totally MentalBTS of MLM CultureThis week we’re talking about MLMs! Han & Em have both had experiences on the inside of different MLMs so we’re pulling the curtain back on the toxic cultures promoted within, the reality of joining one, the ways they prey on vulnerable people (aka us lol), and more.

We did a poll on our Instagram on who’s participating and it was split directly down the middle. Whether you’re someone like Em who benefits from timelines, boundaries, and definitives around alcohol consumption or more like Hannah who intuitively feels it out, we cover both ends of the spectrum.

This time of year can feel overwhelming for a lot of reasons, one of them being the pressure or even motivation that comes along with a new year on the horizon. Some of us have visions of new habits, enhanced lifestyle, or fresh projects. Others may not buy into the idea that we have to feel like we have it all figured out before the clock strikes midnight. Hannah & Em are pretty much opposite sides of the spec...2022-12-2157 minTotally MentalFeeling Stuck in Your CareerNo matter what field, whether you’re an employee, a contractor or an entrepreneur, we all feel stuck in our careers sometimes.

This conversation includes everything from how dating feels in our late 20s vs how it felt in our early 20s, all the "shoulds" and anxiety that come up, figuring out if you *really* like someone or just want them to like you, and more!

If you’ve lived alone for a decent amount of time, you know that’s is kind of the best, but it also presents some challenges. Seemingly small tasks like cooking for yourself, keeping your laundry done, living up to an invisible standard we were raised with, etc. can feel insurmountable. We both feel pretty comfy & awesome about living alone now, but that *definitely* wasn’t always the case.

There’s so much noise out there about how our lives “should” go and “should” look. It can be hard to hear your own voice amidst it all. Just because one person moves to a new big city to pursue their version of success doesn’t mean that it has to be your version of success, even if culture suggests it should be. Doing something out of your comfort zone in your hometown is just as val...2022-11-0952 minTotally MentalThe Comparison EpisodeThis week we’re talking about comparison. It’s nearly (if not fully) impossible to avoid comparing ourselves to others, whether on social media or in our closest friend & family circles. In this episode, we talk candidly about cultivating self-compassion, how comparison can help us uncover our deeper selves, & also how much utter bullshit exists in the world that preys on & perpetuates the human tendency to compare. You’re not the problem babe, it’s the world. Cheers!

Whether we inherited it from parents, coaches, or western society in general, this belief that we have to “do” in order to “be” can feel so engrained that it doesn’t even feel conscious most of the time. No wonder we’re more burnt out than we’ve ever been! So this week we talk about productivity shame, where it comes from & some ideas to combat it, social media’s role in why it feels so difficult to rest, & some ways we *try* to help ourselves rest.

Sometimes toxic positivity is downright obvious, like when someone says, “well look on the bright side” or “just be grateful for everything you do have” amidst tragedy and trauma. Other times, the line toxic positivity can sneak in behind an overall optimistic outlook. We all fall somewhere different on the spectrum of toxic positivity and it depends on the situation.

One of the biggest misconceptions about suicide is that talking about it plants the idea in someone’s head, but the truth is that talking about suicide is suicide prevention.

We asked our audience what they regret and have had to forgive themselves for, and answers ranged from “being a hoe” (lol) to trusting the wrong people to not going to therapy sooner and more. Regret is a part of the human experience. It doesn’t mean we’re failures even when we fail. It doesn’t mean we’re bad even when we make mistakes.

It’s no hot take that social media has become a double-edged sword, as we mindlessly scroll to numb ourselves or to portray unrealistic, polished versions of our lives. On the flip side, it’s also an incredible tool for self-expression and has become a career for some.

Living in a culture that seriously ties work & worth while also ignores the reality of its implications on our mental health has made navigating a path pretty fuzzy for our generation. In this episode, we talk about how many people have had a change of heart & career lately resulting in "The Great Resignation", our own messy career paths thus far & ultimately that there’s no right path & there’s no timeline to “arrive.” We’re all doing the best we can out here & that is exactly right!

The reality is, a lot of us will find ourselves somewhere between the two extremes. Unfortunately because of the way alcohol is promoted and celebrated, it’s easy to internalize the negative effects of it as inherent problems that we embody rather than direct results of the drug. On the other hand, alcohol isn’t necessarily bad, but it’s important to understand the why when we consume it.
