  • Ending friendships & screen time | Episode 84
    Jun 24 2025

    We’re taking you on a wild ride—literally and metaphorically for this episode. First, we soar through the treetops of Colorado with a firsthand account of an unforgettable ziplining adventure. Then, we make a surprising pivot to aisle 7 at Home Depot, where a casual plant run turned into a showdown with—wait for it—mealybugs.

    Next, things get real. We dive into the complex terrain of ending friendships: how to know when it’s time, how to do it with compassion, and how to deal with the emotional fallout. Finally, for our fellow content creators, we share practical advice for navigating social media mindfully—how to stay engaged without feeling consumed.

    It’s an episode full of highs, bugs, boundaries, and balance. Hit play and let’s get into it.
