Well...Adjusting

Robin's wife, Mary, is back! Last time we discovered she's... not exactly an optimist. So we're checking in to see if anything's changed. We talk about existential dread, Steph's big move back to Canada, and whether choosing joy is a mindset... or just caring a little less.

When Emily's father was diagnosed with a terminal illness, her life changed overnight. Instead of giving up, she became his caregiver and started a foundation supporting kids with cancer. We talk about choosing hope, finding purpose in impossible moments, and why optimism isn't about ignoring reality. It's about deciding how to meet it. Find For Love & Buttercup here .

Leah joins us to talk about anticipatory grief, complicated parent relationships, and what happens when you know a major loss is coming but life keeps moving anyway. We get into caregiving, avoidance, dark humor, and the very human art of telling everyone you’re “fine” when you absolutely are not.

Layoffs. AI. Hiring freezes. It feels like everyone knows someone who's looking for work.

For many LGBTQ folks, bars have long been more than bars. They've been community centers, meeting places, and a way to find our people. But what happens when every social plan seems to come with a drink in hand? Aadi joins us to talk about finding the line between social drinking and social habit, creating new ways to connect, and figuring out how to have a great night out without waking up wondering if it was worth it. Make Robin & Steph's mocktails! Steph: 1) Use iced tea, lemon, a herb or spice of your choice (Steph uses Cardamom syrup), muddle them up, delicious! 2) Soak hibiscus leaves, lime or lemon juice, fresh ginger, a little honey, to make a refreshing summery pink drink! Robin: 1) A non-alcoholic tequila is great! 2) Take some lime juice, agave syrup (approx 3 swirls), *important* put them in a cute glass, add fresh mint and muddle. Add a load of ice and fill with seltzer. Garnish with a piece of lime for ultimate aesthetics.

Drew and Alex from Into the Into the Mud podcast join to chat about what's making us anxious right now. We talk creative paralysis, career spirals, and the pressure to be perfect—whether it’s as a parent, an artist, or just a functioning human. Is anxiety something to fix, or something to live with? How do you know when it’s too much? And what, if anything, actually helps? Real talk, some swearing, a little hope. And maybe, a reminder that you’re not the only one spiraling.

Teeny brings us a question about how open to be about your personal life. She’s in a polyamorous relationship and wants to share her weekend stories at work just like anyone else, without judgment, microaggressions, or having to launch into Polyamory 101 every time. We talk trust, boundaries, and the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways people shame what they don’t understand. Plus: how to decide who deserves the truth—and who can keep guessing. Dr. Badiee joins us to offer thoughtful, grounded guidance on how to navigate this tricky space with clarity and self-respect. More info on Dr. Badiee HERE .

Jobs are weird. Burnout is real. Politics are a dumpster fire. And suddenly a lot of us are asking the same question: what if life is actually better somewhere else?

You’ve got a good job. You like it. But you also have a creative thing on the side....and want to make more of that. Eteng joins us to unpack the tension between comfort and ambition, and the quiet fear that maybe we’re getting a little too cozy to go after what we actually want. We talk side hustles, security, and the reality that sometimes you don’t just dream big, you have to actually map it out. Find Consider This For Comfort HERE .
