This week’s episode is a wild ride through the ups and downs of romanticizing and putting things, people, and jobs on pedestals.
After a little catchup, the besties dive headfirst into how we create fake scenarios and idealized versions of people in our heads, thanks to social media, that end up being far from reality. They chat about why we think we can fix people, believing we’ll be the one to repair them, only to realize it's not possible. Srna spills on her past of romanticizing people who didn’t deserve it, creating fantasies that never matched reality.
Then, they shift gears to careers. Jackie spills about a job she thought would be a dream but turned into a nightmare because she ignored her gut feelings. Srna shares her own professional hiccups and discusses why we often stay in jobs or relationships just for appearances.
To wrap things up, they chat about the red flags they ignored while dating and the importance of trusting your gut. Jackie shares a date story, and together they debate if it was truly red flag-worthy. Tune in for a candid convo that'll make you rethink how you view the people and opportunities in your life.
