  • Why Are We All Obsessed with Heated Rivalry?

    Why Are We All Obsessed with Heated Rivalry?
    Feb 6 2026
    Why is Heated Rivalry resonating so deeply across audiences? Besties Stacy and Daynah are joined by Stacy’s queer bestie and work wife Lauren to unpack the cultural obsession with this breakout hockey romance that has taken over the internet. What looks like a steamy rivals-to-lovers story opens into a much bigger conversation about tender masculinity, explicit consent, queer joy, and why this kind of representation feels radically different from most romance on screen. The episode also examines allyship, supportive parents, chosen family, and what it means to love queer media at a moment when LGBTQ+ communities face growing backlash. This is a thoughtful, funny, and deeply human conversation about why Heated Rivalry isn’t just popular — it matters. Listener Note: This episode includes spoilers for Heated Rivalry and frank discussion of sexuality, intimacy, and queer relationships.

    What happens when autistic and neurodivergent adults lose built-in social supports but still need connection? In this episode, Stacy talks with Jamie Pastranao and Brittany Moser, co-founders of the app synchrony, about loneliness, rejection sensitivity, and why community, not dating, is the missing piece for neurodivergent adults.

  • Is Pluribus a Utopia or a Nightmare? A Deep Dive

    Is Pluribus a Utopia or a Nightmare? A Deep Dive
    Jan 22 2026
    Is Pluribus a vision of collective bliss or a deeply unsettling loss of humanity? In this bonus conversation, besties Stacy and Daynah dive into their curiously different interpretations of Pluribus, a provocative sci-fi series that asks what happens when individuality disappears and happiness becomes mandatory. Through a feminist and cultural lens, they explore hive minds, consent, toxic positivity, female rage, AI parallels, and whether connection without choice can ever be ethical. SPOILER ALERT!

  • Why Sinners Isn't Just a Vampire Movie

    Why Sinners Isn't Just a Vampire Movie
    Jan 21 2026
    Besties Stacy and Daynah sat down to talk about Sinners and, unsurprisingly, talked about a lot more than that. Not only do you get a bonus show on the feed, but you even get a rare personal update from Daynah. So yes, Sinners is a vampire movie. Yes, it’s technically horror. But it is also a sharp cultural critique about race, identity, ancestry, and the stories America keeps telling itself. We dig into why this film feels different, how modern horror has evolved into a space for serious storytelling, and what makes Sinners resonate beyond the genre. 00:00 | Why Sinners isn’t just a horror movie 08:10 | When genre becomes cultural commentary 16:05 | Race, identity, and who stories are for 24:30 | Daynah’s dating update (feminism as a litmus test) 29:50 | Art, ritual, and why this film lingers 38:15 | Why modern horror feels different now Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠missionalchemists.com⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Is Burnout a Nervous System Problem? w/ Dr. Amir Vokshoor

    Is Burnout a Nervous System Problem? w/ Dr. Amir Vokshoor
    Jan 16 2026
    Despite what you may think (or what you've been told), burnout isn’t a mindset issue—it’s a nervous system response. Stacy talks with Dr. Amir Vokshoor, a board-certified neurosurgeon about how chronic stress reshapes the brain and body, why so many people are stuck in fight-or-flight, and how burnout, chronic pain, and trauma are biologically connected. We explore what modern life does to the nervous system and why healing requires more than willpower. If your body feels exhausted, overwhelmed, or unable to recover, this episode reframes burnout as a biological signal, not a personal failure. 00:00 | Is burnout a nervous system problem? 07:20 | Chronic stress and nervous system overload 14:50 | Pain, trauma, and energy depletion 22:30 | Recovery, regulation, and breath 30:40 | Prevention and brain-spine health Find Dr. Vokshoor: drvokshoor.com neurovella.com iamfoundation.org instagram.com/drvokshoor Use code STACY for a discount on neurosurgical consultation with Dr. Vokshoor!Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠missionalchemists.com⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
