These are some of the aspects of commitment we explore in this episode. As always, thanks for your support!

On this episode, I talk with my friend Katie about our complicated relationship to social media. We chat about how it has affected our mental health, the reality behind social media highlight reels, and what it might have been like had we grown up with the social media platforms that exist today. Social media can be an amazing tool and outlet for expression, but has it become something that takes away from your joy and presence in life? Come join us as we explore this and let us know what you think.

On this episode, Jackie and I finally chat about the election results. While we both felt immense relief on that day, we are coming to terms with the reality that things are not all sorted out just because Biden and Harris won. We discuss both of their pasts, whether we think they will honor the desires of the folks that won them the election (Black voters), and some of the silver linings that we hold onto as we move forward. We also touch on some of the ways we can continue to make change beyond the presidential election. Towards the end of the podcast, I bring up a few tiktok creators who I have learned a lot from as it pertains to political ideology. Check them out using their usernames below.

On this episode, Jackie and I discuss cannabis use and social justice. We cover legalization, decriminalization, and the current practices around cannabis use in the U.S. criminal justice system. We also get personal and look at how being white gives cannabis users, like Jackie, privilege that people of color are not afforded. We explore what it might look like to be an ally both in the movement to legalize and decriminalize cannabis but also in the movement for black lives.
