Welcome back, WIFs! This week we’re setting the cozy mood and talking about something that clearly struck a nerve — the pressure to constantly improve, optimize, upgrade, biohack, and basically turn your entire life into a self-development experiment.
Inspired by a reel that sparked a big response, we’re unpacking why so many women feel tired of being told they are a project to fix. This isn’t anti-growth — it’s anti-relentless optimization.
We chat about information overload, the wellness industry machine, cold plunges and supplement stacks, and the quiet privilege baked into routines that require unlimited time, money, and mental bandwidth.
We also catch up on everything from women-in-country magic and Olympic daydreaming to why curling just isn’t doing it for us, plus what we’re reading (Somatic Therapy Workbook), watching (Eyes Wide Shut — buckle up), and listening to (The Epstein Files episode of We Can Do Hard Things… prepare to suck your thumb).
And of course, we share our Simple Joys of the week — leaning into sweet co-sleeping cuddles that won’t last forever and finding unexpected delight at a college tours. Press play, snuggle up, and remember… you don’t need to optimize your life to prove it matters.
