This episode is a voiceover of my blog post of the same name. Couldn’t help but draw similarities between BoJack Horseman’s inability to savor his happiness with my own feelings about where I’m currently at in life.

Today’s young adults face a loneliness epidemic. In this episode I talk about how it’s affecting us and what we can do to deal with it.

Taken from the Substack archive, this is a voiceover of one of the earliest pieces I have for my advice column, Dear Dani. In this episode, I talk about dealing with conflict as an avoidant and wanting to be there for your friends when you don’t have the emotional energy for issues outside of your own.

The advice column is now on the pod! Occasionally I open my ask box on Instagram to have people send in their problems so that I can offer advice. On today's episode, I share what I think of new year’s resolutions (do they work?), shifting to a different program, and knowing your potential but not feeling motivated to realize it.

Why the saying “you deserve what you tolerate” is total bs, what we’re getting wrong about providing emotional support, and how we can be there for our stubborn friends without sacrificing our own mental health.

Happy new year! I have resurrected.

This is a trailer/reintroduction, because it has been so long since the last episode and so much has changed. I’ve found a better direction for this project and I have new goals that I want to achieve here. In this episode, I share reasons why I’m rebranding and what you can expect from the pod in the coming weeks.

This week’s podcast episode is an attempt to understand the psyche of certain Aldub fanatics who recently went viral for exhibiting odd, cultish behavior. We now ask the question: where do we draw the line between fan clubs and cults?

The journal I talk about in this podcast is called “FANatics: Systematic literature review of factors associated with celebrity worship, and suggested directions for future research” published in 2018 by Dr. Samantha K. Brooks.

Is it really your villain era or are you just learning to stand up for yourself? In this episode, I talk about what people pleasing is, signs of people pleasing behaviors, and ways to overcome this longstanding desire of putting other people’s needs above your own.
