Sips & Struggles: Surviving Adulting

Stop Scrolling, Start Living: The Comparison Trap

In this honest and unfiltered conversation, two friends sit down to unpack their personal journeys with comparison—how it’s shown up in their lives, especially in the age of social media, and what they’re learning as they navigate it. From feeling behind in careers and relationships to getting caught in highlight reels on Instagram, they open up about the mental toll of constant comparison and the subtle ways it can sneak into everyday life.
Together, they explore how they’re learning to pause the scroll, refocus on their own paths, and strike a healthier balance between being present and being online. If you’ve ever found yourself spiraling through someone else’s feed and wondering if you’re doing enough, this episode is for you. Expect laughter, a few truth bombs, and a reminder that your journey doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

Off the Beaten Timeline

In this deeply relatable episode, two friends sit down for a life chat about the timelines they once imagined for themselves—married by a certain age, kids by another, career milestones checked off like clockwork—and the very different (and sometimes messy) paths life actually took them on.
They share the pressure of hitting invisible deadlines, how comparison to others’ timelines can sneak in, and what it’s been like to let go of the script they thought they should be following. With vulnerability, humor, and a lot of grace, they reflect on the beauty of evolving timelines and the unexpected growth that comes from embracing the “in-between” seasons.
Whether you're ahead, behind, or just trying to figure it out, this episode is a reminder that there’s no one right way to live a life—and that sometimes, the best things happen when the plan falls apart.
