You landed your first post-grad job—congrats! But now what? In this episode of Double Take, we dive headfirst into the identity crisis that hits once the 9-to-5 grind begins. If you’ve ever caught yourself Googling acronyms mid-meeting, crying from burnout, or wondering why your “dream job” still comes with Sunday scaries, this one’s for you.
We’re talking real post-grad life—the awkward, confusing, and sometimes hilarious transition from college to career. From letting go of hustle culture and rethinking your relationship with work, to managing mental health, side hustles, and the pressure to “have it all together,” we break down what actual work-life balance looks like in your early 20s. Spoiler: it’s not matcha and Pilates—it’s survival, with some tiny wins along the way.
In this honest, relatable, and tip-packed conversation, we cover:
Post-grad identity shifts and imposter syndrome
Navigating burnout, boundaries, and emotional labor at work
How to build a routine (or not) that doesn’t drain your soul
Finding joy outside of productivity and performance
The grief of leaving behind your student self
Lazy girl dinners, micro-habits, and redefining success on your own terms
Whether you’re feeling stuck in a job you’re not sure you even like, overwhelmed by adulting, or just really tired—this episode is your reminder that no one has it all figured out. And that’s okay.
🎧 Tune in for unfiltered advice, tiny coping strategies, and a reminder that you’re not alone in the chaos of early career life. Because growing up is weird—and we’re all just winging it.
We all know Hot Girl Summer made waves thanks to Megan Thee Stallion — but this year, we’re redefining it. Think less about proving something and more about feeling something: confidence, joy, connection, and that carefree 2016 energy we’ve all been missing.
In this episode, we’re breaking down our version of Hot Girl Summer — one rooted in solo dates, food bucket lists, fun outfits, sunset walks, and starting traditions with your favorite people. It’s about curating a season that feels full — not just busy — and learning how to romanticize your life in the little ways that actually matter.
From vision boards to dinner parties, from mindset shifts to mini glow-ups, this checklist helps you build a summer that’s all about you — your joy, your growth, and your main character era.
Forget the glossy brochures and college YouTube vlogs — we’re getting real about what the past four years actually taught us. In this episode, we unpack the messy, meaningful, and often misunderstood parts of college life: academic burnout, imposter syndrome, unexpected friendships, “productive” procrastination, and all the weird in-between moments that shaped us more than any class ever could. Whether you're heading to college, in the thick of it, or looking back with mixed feelings, this episode is part reflection, part reality check, and part love letter to the chaos.

Girl code isn’t just for the girls—it’s about the unspoken commandments of friendship. In this episode, we break down the rules (and grey areas) of showing up for your people: gassing them up (within reason), protecting them from bad photos and worse decisions, and knowing when to offer advice vs. when to shut up and validate. Whether you're tag-teaming a bathroom escape or learning not to hate their ex on their behalf, this one’s for anyone who’s ever been ride-or-die—and occasionally just... die. Loyalty, delusion, honesty, and timing. Let’s get into it.

Let’s be real: if your childhood self saw your Google Calendar, your dating life, or the 17-step skincare routine you now call self-care… she’d pass out.
This episode is a deep dive into all the things no one warned you about — the identity spirals, the constant comparison, the weird grief over who you thought you'd be, and the crushing pressure to “have it all together.” We talk timelines gone rogue, friendships that quietly fade, and the overwhelming mental load of simply existing.
But here’s the thing: you’re not doing it wrong. You’re just growing up. And it’s confusing for everyone.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it just me?” — this episode is your proof that it’s not. We hope it makes you laugh, maybe cry, and most of all, feel less alone in the beautiful, chaotic mess of becoming.
