Aiden has returned to the podcast to talk to Jacquelyn about the books they read this month! Jacquelyn is still reading lots of romance books, Aiden didn't fully understand The Great Gatsby, they talk about an awesome book idea, and more.

So far, Jacquelyn has read 13 books and Aiden has read 12 this year.

There's been hot girl summer, brat summer, and now...serious girl summer?

In this episode, Jacquelyn talks about her hopes for the upcoming summer, how it might be time to get serious about your goals, why constantly talking about your goals might be a bad thing, and more.

Sorry for the episode being late! Jacquelyn took this as an opportunity to remind you (and herself) that when things feel overwhelming or you have an unmanageable to-do list, getting at least something accomplished is better than nothing at all.

Many people are lonely nowadays, but I think sometimes we forget how important acquaintances can be in our lives. In this episode, Jacquelyn reads a story a listener sent us highlighting someone in her community and highlights how what is referred to as "weak ties" can have major positive impacts on our lives.

In the current world, it feels like our attention is fragmented more than ever - but just how much does it impact us? We can't change how the world works around us, but what can we change to improve our focus - and our lives? Jacquelyn discusses what attention fragmentation is, talks about how it impacts us, and questions ways we can lessen how much our attention is fragmented each and everyday.

It's time for another book report episode! So far, Aiden and Jacquelyn have both read 9 books this year. In this episode, they discuss the three books they each read this month.

P.S. sorry I missed releasing an episode last week! Hope to get back on track lol

It's crazy to think that tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of It's Fine! It's been a pleasure to create this podcast over the last year, and thank you to everyone who has listened to it. Jacquelyn reflects on the last year of creating this podcast and talks about how you can create your own. She also discusses the importance of creating things in general - especially in this day and age.

They always say "facts don't care about your feelings," but do your feelings really care about facts? Jacquelyn investigates this idea using concepts like persuasion, confirmation bias, and the illusory truth effect. She tries to determine if facts can really change our feelings - or if we sometimes find ways to twist the facts to justify our feelings.
