We love Gen Z’s big hearts, big ideas, and big questions. But part of growing up is realizing that life isn’t always fair, fun, or filtered—and that’s okay. Every generation thinks the one before it had it easier, and every generation thinks the one after it is a little too soft. Gen Z? They’re smart,…
Friendships are supposed to be fun, fulfilling, and supportive, right? But sometimes, things aren’t what they seem. It’s like peeling an onion, and as each layer comes off, you might find out that the friendship isn’t as genuine as you’d hoped. Let’s have a heart-to-heart about spotting those telltale signs that your friendships might not…
Heartbreak. It’s not just tears, sad songs, and calling your best friend at 2 a.m. with mascara on your pillowcase. It’s actual brain chaos. Scientists have studied heartbreak like it’s a trauma—and guess what? It kinda is. When love goes south, your brain doesn’t just “feel sad.” It experiences something disturbingly close to withdrawal, physical…

Sometimes, we don’t even recognize the echoes until we’re deep in adulthood, wondering why certain patterns, fears, or reactions follow us like shadows.

Pull up a chair, friend, because I’m about to spill the tea on which U.S. cities are absolute gems for raising a family—and which might have you running for the hills. We all want the best for our kids: safe streets, good schools, and neighbors who don’t think “block party” means calling the cops. But…
You love your people. You adore your friends, your coworkers are mostly fine, and your family—well, they’re family. But lately, every interaction feels like work. Even a quick catch-up coffee can leave you feeling like you need a nap, a therapist, and six hours of total silence. That, my friend, is social burnout—the invisible exhaustion…

If you’ve reorganized your junk drawer twice or find yourself scrolling through apps with no purpose, you might be showing signs of being bored out of your mind….
Some people walk through life like it’s a checklist. But you? You feel everything. The energy in the room, the change in someone’s tone, the weight behind unspoken words—you pick it up like a tuning fork to the world. And sometimes, people tell you you’re too much. Too emotional. Too reactive. Too soft. But here’s…
