Christmas can be magical — but it can also be complicated. In this special holiday episode, Linh and Lara talk about what the Christmas season really brings up for them: joy and nostalgia, but also pressure, expectations, guilt, loneliness, and the quiet moments in between.

They reflect on childhood memories, family dynamics, traditions that still feel comforting (and the ones that don’t), and how their relationship with Christmas has changed over the years. From navigating time with family to creating new rituals that actually feel good, this episode is an honest conversation about honoring your needs during the holidays.

Whether you love Christmas, struggle with it, or feel a bit of both — this episode is a reminder that there’s no “right” way to do the holidays. You’re allowed to slow down, set boundaries, and make space for whatever you’re feeling.

Guilt sneaks into our lives in so many subtle ways — from saying no, to resting, to not meeting expectations (our own or everyone else’s). In this episode, Linh and Lara get honest about the different kinds of guilt they carry: guilt for taking breaks, guilt for putting themselves first, guilt for not being “enough,” and even guilt rooted in childhood and family dynamics.

They explore why guilt shows up so quickly, how it’s tied to identity and belonging, and why so many of us feel responsible for things that were never ours to carry. Together, they unpack people-pleasing, overthinking, boundary-setting, and the stories we tell ourselves when we think we’re letting someone down.

This episode is a gentle reminder that guilt is human — but it doesn’t have to run your life.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for simply being who you are, this one’s for you.

Season 2 starts with a confession: this summer did not go the way we planned.

Some things were beautiful, some were weirdly emotional, and some were “this is all too much” moments.

In this episode, we talk about:

* The plot twists we didn’t see coming

* The small moments that changed us

* Why summer can feel both freeing and overwhelming

* What we’re bringing with us into the new season (and what we’re leaving behind)

If your summer wasn’t all sunsets and Aperol — same.

Let’s debrief together. ✨
