  • EP54: The TV That Raised Us: The Midlife Crisis Show Every Millennial Can Relate To
    Nov 18 2025

    Friendship without flirtation? Revolutionary, apparently. In this week’s episode, Robin and Deborah dive into Platonic — the millennial masterpiece that finally proves men and women can be friends without the Ross-and-Rachel tension. They unpack why Platonic hits so close to home for every adult still figuring out who they are, even after “having it all.”

    We explore:

    • Why Platonic is the millennial friendship mirror we didn’t know we needed
    • Emotional labor, codependency, and why Sylvia’s burnout feels too real
    • How the show nails the “midlife adolescence” so many of us quietly feel

    It’s raw, funny, and just the right amount of existential.

  • EP53: High-Functioning Depression: The 4 Lies You’re Telling Yourself
    Nov 11 2025

    You’re killing it on the outside — promotions, plans, polished vibes — but inside, you’re whispering lies like “I’m fine” and “I can handle it alone.”

    In this eye-opening episode, Robin and Deborah bust the 4 lies that fuel high-functioning depression, the hidden struggle of the woman who never lets the mask slip.

    We’ll explore:

    • Why “functioning” doesn’t mean “fixed”
    • The busy badge, the isolation trap, and the superwoman myth
    • Scripts to challenge these lies in real time
    • How friendship can be the mirror that shatters the illusion
