  • Navigating Anxiety, Recognizing Triggers and Finding Relief
    Jun 30 2025

    This week on Only Human, Jess and Karli open up about a topic that hits close to home for both of them: anxiety. They dive into their earliest memories of anxiety, the triggers they face today, and how it physically shows up in their bodies. Sharing candid reflections and personal stories, they also reveal the small, practical habits that help them manage these feelings day-to-day. This episode isn’t just about coping—it’s about understanding anxiety on a deeper level and finding gentler, more compassionate ways to move through it. In a world that moves fast and keeps asking more of us, they hope this conversation reminds you that you’re not alone—and you're only human.

  • Chasing Milestones, Doubting Yourself, & Trusting Your Timeline
    Jun 23 2025

    In this episode, Jess and Karli dive into the pressure of life timelines and the quiet (or not-so-quiet) comparisons that come with them. At 26, Jess is a married homeowner. At 28, Karli is single and living with her parents. Their lives couldn’t look more different on paper—and yet, they’re both asking the same thing: Am I doing life all wrong?In this honest conversation, they unpack how easy it is to feel behind when everyone else’s life looks perfectly on track—especially online. From unspoken expectations to the illusion of “success,” Jess and Karli explore the shame and self-doubt that can creep in when we measure ourselves against others. If you’ve ever questioned your path or wondered if you’re where you’re “supposed” to be, this episode is your reminder that you’re right on time.

  • Body Image, Comparison Culture, and Finding Self-Acceptance
    Jun 16 2025

    In this episode, Jess and Karli dive into all things body image—sparked by their own recent struggles as summer begins. It’s not a topic Jess typically opens up about, while Karli has long felt drawn to these conversations, even back in her blog days. Together, they reflect on how childhood experiences and societal messages shaped their perception of their bodies, and open up about the internal pressure and external judgment that have influenced the way they see themselves. Throughout the conversation, they explore the ongoing pursuit of self-acceptance and share a reminder they’re both working to believe: your body is the least interesting thing about you.
