  • 42. The Illusion of Being Cool & Exhaustion of Pretending Not to Care
    Is the 'cool girl’ trope just a patriarchal trap designed to exhaust women? Amanda and Sam tackle this question while sharing their drastically different approaches to being unpopular in school. In conversation, we explore:The phenomenon of "coolness" and how it shapes our identitiesHow social media has created a never-ending popularity contest that extends far beyond high schoolBreaking down the iconic Gone Girl monologue that perfectly captured women's impossible balancing actHow maintaining "coolness" requires constant adaptation to rapidly shifting trendsFinding liberation in recognizing these systems and choosing what actually works for youThis revealing discussion examines how we internalize cultural pressures and the freedom that comes when we finally stop trying so hard to fit impossible standards.WE ARE NOW ON SUBSTACK with bonus episodes, pep talks, episodes guides, and so much more!

  • 40. Mormon Culture & Utah Life: Sam's Journey of Deconstruction (Pt 1)
    In this deeply personal episode, Sam shares her experience growing up Mormon in New York and her eventual move to Utah, where she spent 15 years navigating a much more intense religious culture. In conversation, we explore:- Sam's unique experience as a "non-Utah Mormon" and how her family's more relaxed approach differed from the mainstream- The cultural quirks of Mormonism that most people don't understand (like special undergarments and dating pressure)- How personal choices about substances (coffee, alcohol, cigarettes) are influenced by religious upbringing- The overwhelming pressure to marry young and have children in Mormon culture- What it's like trying to build a social life in Utah when you don't fit the traditional Mormon template- The gradual realization that trying to make it work wasn't serving her anymoreThis candid conversation sheds light on the subtle ways high-demand religious cultures can shape identity and limit personal growth, even when you're trying to carve your own path within them.WE ARE NOW ON SUBSTACK with bonus episodes, pep talks, episodes guides, and so much more!
