  • S3E18 | Silence & Stillness: Seeking Peace In the Chaos
    2025/08/16

    In a culture of constant stimulation, stillness is a skill, an act of resistance. When was the last time you truly experienced bone-deep, cellular silence? What does the noise help us hide? Join Jordan and J.T. as they explore the idea that peace is not found in the absence of chaos, but in our refusal to be controlled by it. Listen to discover:

    - Reliance on external validation can keep you small

    - Dr. Brené Brown: Proving is a prison!

    - Power of the pause: Is your response aligned with who you are or how you (momentarily) feel?

    - Stillness as a radical act of inner protest (aka some folks won't care for your desire to change)

    - The effect of our hyper-connected, 24/7 accessibility on our nervous system and anxiety

    - It's ok not to be liked.

    - Regulation Station: beep beep!

    - The chaos isn't going anywhere. How much chaos are you willing to consent to?

    - ENERGY! Your energy (your tank) is your POWER. Sacred expenditure on unimportant stimuli.

    - Silence is not a sign of weakness. The quiet is not fear or indifference, but intentional consideration: clarity.

  • S3E17 | Milestones, Schmilestones: Time Is a Scam and You're Not Late
    2025/08/09

    Jordan and J.T. deconstruct the traditional life timeline and explore why we should reclaim our nonlinear stories. Listen to discover:

    - The subtle tyranny of "by this age, I should have..."

    - Who decides if we're "on track?" Is "being on track" setting us back?

    - Goals vs. Milestones: who keeps score?

    - Reframing 40 not as a crisis, but a quiet rebellion.

    - Relationship milestones that aren’t "We’re Pregnant!"

    - Is being chosen overrated? How can we choose ourselves more fully more often?

    - Is there a petty timeline flex you're secretly proud of?

    - The power of celebrating personal success

    **Let us know! What is a nontraditional milestone you feel we should celebrate? (Ideas: Freedom and Rebellion Milestones, Emotional Milestones, Petty But Powerful Milestones, Slightly Feral But Totally Valid Milestones, etc.)

    - Love Ninja Milestone: "Realized I wasn’t the problem... but also wasn’t the main character."

    - JT's Next Milestone: took a nap instead of seeking validation.

  • S3E16 | Good GRIEF: When a Casserole Doesn't Cut It
    2025/08/02

    This episode is brought to you by: FEELINGS (the weirder the better)

    Grief doesn’t wear black every day. It can show up in your dreams. Or as a specific smell. Or your playlist shuffles to that one song... We're genuinely curious: Is it ok to laugh at a funeral...?

    Instead of trying to make grief appear anything other than messy, Jordan and J.T. dig into the all-too-turbulent discomfort of loss. Listen to discover why the real-life grief ambush is part of the process. (You’re not broken. You’re just… HUMAN.)

    - What part of grief did no one warn you about?

    - How can we carry opposing emotions at once (sorrow and joy)?

    - Ghosted in Grief: Why some people disappear instead of showing up when you’re grieving.

    - The Grief that Doesn’t Get Flowers: Uncelebrated griefs like estranged parents, friendship breakups, lost dreams, not having kids

    - Micro-grieving: the catharsis of a good public or bathroom cry

    - Spiritual platitudes that should be retired (Time heals all wounds, What doesn't kill you...etc)

    - When can we feel JOY without GUILT while grieving?

    - What happens when you remove/replace coping crutches? The power of new rituals - and poetic playlists.

    - LDIT's Grief Manifesto: "We believe grief is not a problem to fix— it’s a sacred, shitty, wild thing we carry..."

    - GOOD IDEAS on how to be there for those you love: send a one-line text (no response required), drop off snacks with a note "grief doesn't cook," invitation to non-grief activity (karaoke, trashy TV marathon, hike, dog park.,.), just be quiet together, say their person's name

    The Deepest THANKS, ADMIRATION, & APPRECIATION to: Andrea Gibson, You Better Be Lightning (Button Poetry, 2021) ...a super hero on earth...rest in peace

    2025/07/19

    Mirror, mirror, WHAT THE DEUCE?

    Vanity can be touchy: secret angles, shame zones, squishy bits. Jordan and J.T. explore how our self-worth can become entwined with our appearance. Can you carry both your "divine light" and your body dysmorphia? Listen to discover:

    - Pride in appearance vs reliance on external validation

    - Insecurities we work hardest to hide

    - Where and when did you first learn that looks were currency?

    - Who said what that made me hate myself for having cellulite?

  • S3E14 | GAME DAY! Uncomfortable On Purpose: Questions You'd Rather Not Ask...But Should
    2025/07/05

    Ready to get weird and wise? Jordan and J.T. play the first round of Uncomfortable On Purpose. Think Truth or Truth: the questions you’d rather not ask your partner but really should.

    This round cuts deep. A provocative and revealing Q&A-style game that digs beneath the surface. Topics we usually tiptoe around—shame, addiction, fear, failure—but with the goal of healing, not harm. A darkly playful excavation of your emotional scar tissue—because healing can be sexier with a bit of risk.

    The FIVE subversive and intentionally uncomfortable categories are tailored to spark meaningful conversation, shared vulnerability, and unexpected insight.

    CATEGORIES: Spicy Confessions, Past Lives, Mirror Work, Trigger Warning, and Romance Round 2!

    Real talk about second chances at love, adult intimacy, and all the weird, wonderful shit that comes with being human.

    Don't just eavesdrop - try it! If you'd like a starter kit of playful heat, send a request to letsdigintothat@gmail.com

    Let the awkwardness be part of the vibe.
