Fandoms aren’t just about celebrities or fictional characters—they’re emotional homes where we process feelings, celebrate obsession, and find community through shared passion.

In this episode, Lisa and Josh dive into the world of fandom culture—from cosplay and gaming to music and underdog stories:

• Are you a casual fan or a full-blown Swiftie?
• How cosplay helps people embody resilience and identity
• Celebrities who love their fans vs those who set hard boundaries
• Enduring fandoms like Supernatural, Buffy, The Walking Dead
• The emotional power of music fandoms and indie rap’s raw storytelling
• Gaming loyalty from League of Legends to Final Fantasy
• What causes fan burnout (and how creators lose us)
• Weekly What If: What if you had a fandom?
• Regret of the Week: Missing the Eras Tour

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

Bring your feelings. We’ll bring ours.

We dive deep into the psychology of FOMO, exploring why we feel it, how it impacts our mental health, and whether we're actually missing out or just falling for an illusion fueled by social media. This conversation reveals universal truths about our desire to keep up with others while questioning the need to compare ourselves at all.

• FOMO represents an emotional cocktail of envy, regret, and self-doubt often triggered by social media
• The joy of missing out (JOMO) involves learning to be content with your choices rather than constantly comparing
• Social media significantly amplifies FOMO, leading many to curate their feeds to protect mental health
• FOBO (fear of better options) keeps people from committing to plans while waiting for something better
• Teen and young adult FOMO differs from adult FOMO but stems from the same desire to be included
• Personal FOMO triggers include vacation envy, parenting comparisons, and body image insecurities
• Most of what we think we're missing isn't actually that amazing - our perception is often distorted
