Ever wondered if all this self-improvement stuff is actually making us better—or just making us obsessed? Josh and Lisa dive headfirst into the complicated world of modern self-help, questioning when personal growth becomes a personality trait and why we're all suddenly desperate to fix ourselves.

The siblings share candid stories about their own journeys, from Josh's realization that gaming had become a void-filling addiction rather than a healthy hobby, to Lisa's experience with misleading self-help messaging that actually prevented her progress. They tackle the important distinction between aspects of ourselves that genuinely need improvement versus accepting certain personality traits as they are.

You'll laugh as they debate extreme wellness scenarios in their "This or That" segment (Would you rather wake up at 4am daily or drink celery juice for every meal?), but you'll also find genuine wisdom about finding balance in your personal development journey. Josh shares his experiences with journaling, while Lisa reveals how she's learning to embrace tools like therapy and mindfulness practices.

Perhaps most valuably, they explore what happens when partners grow at different rates, with Josh offering a beautiful metaphor about relationships as waves where sometimes one person leads while the other catches up. "You never have to be right there with someone," he observes, "but I don't think you can get too far ahead."

Whether you're a self-help skeptic or a personal development junkie, this episode offers refreshing perspective on finding authentic growth without falling into the traps of toxic positivity or wellness obsession. Subscribe now and join us on the journey where real talk meets zero chill!

Bring your feelings. We’ll bring ours.

We explore the powerful concept of doing absolutely nothing—and why that might be the most revolutionary act of self-care in a world obsessed with hustle. From battling the guilt that creeps in when we rest to carving out sacred spaces for flop-mode living, this episode is all about embracing stillness.

Featuring:

• A “Would You Survive?” scenario: 8 hours in a silent room with only your thoughts
• Why rest feels wrong even when we’re running on empty
• How parenthood (especially motherhood) complicates the idea of doing nothing
• Creating sacred spaces in your home for relaxation and reset
• The mental gymnastics of justifying rest to ourselves
• How our relationship with rest changes as we grow
• A chaotic showdown of rest preferences: accidental naps vs. intentional ones, silence vs. background noise, and more
