What’s the difference between real self-care and just...numbing out? In this rewatch of one of our most popular episodes, Lisa and Josh break down the blurred line between authentic self-care and self-indulgent habits that leave you drained.

With fresh commentary from both masculine and feminine perspectives, they ask:

• Is self-care about bubble baths or boundaries?
• Are men still made to feel guilty for resting?
• Can gaming, snacks, and silence count as self-care?
• How do you tell if something actually recharges you—or just avoids your burnout?

You’ll learn how to spot what actually works for your wellbeing, how social media has warped the self-care conversation, and why kids might be the real self-care gurus.

Key topics:

• Difference between self-care and self-indulgence
• Setting boundaries as the ultimate act of self-care
• Gender and self-care: the unspoken male experience
• Real-life self-care examples that aren’t Instagram-worthy
• How to build a sustainable self-care practice that actually sticks

📌 Whether you’re navigating burnout, setting new boundaries, or just trying to care without guilt—this one’s for you.

Remember when summer meant biking until the streetlights came on, catching fireflies, and dodging the neighbor’s terrifying dog? In this nostalgia-heavy episode, we’re throwing it back to the 90s—when summer was sticky, chaotic, and absolutely glorious.

From PEI farm adventures and popsicle brain freezes to street hockey and reading under a box fan, Lisa and Josh swap stories of childhood freedom and the moment summer stopped feeling like… summer. Adulting hit hard—but we’re still trying to reclaim a little of that old-school magic (minus the mosquitoes).

☀️ Topics include:

• Why 90s summers felt limitless
• The chores that weirdly felt like adventures
• The exact moment summer changed forever
• Can adult summers ever hit the same?
• The unexpected joy of crafting your own traditions
