In this episode, we’re talking about everything from wedding drama to that strange emotional fog so many of us are walking through right now.

We unpack a word you might not know but definitely feel: hypernormalization—when everything appears fine, but underneath? It’s all a bit off.

Sound familiar?

We get into what it means to feel stuck, overstimulated, or like you’re running on autopilot—and how naming the feeling can be the first step back to yourself.

Also in this episode:

– Burnout, perimenopause, and pandemic hangovers

– Rosé in January and white pants in November (because rules are fake)

– A wedding guest AITA (Am I The Asshole?) scenario that gets surprisingly deep

– Small resets, emotional honesty, and learning to reengage

– And why your group chat might be your most sacred space

This one moves between light and heavy—because that’s what life is. No perfect solutions, but a lot of honesty, a few good laughs, and some Pop-Tart realness.
