This week, we’re talking about memory, trust, and why so many adults feel like reality keeps shifting beneath them. From the Mandela Effect debate to side relationships and misplaced sympathy, we unpack how gaslighting shows up in culture, relationships, and even online spaces.

We also dive into bullying consequences, AI loneliness, trust recession culture, nostalgia battles like Jagged Edge vs 112, and the pressure of figuring adulthood out in real time.

If you’ve ever questioned your memory, your boundaries, or your instincts — this episode will remind you that you’re not crazy… and you’re definitely not alone.

New episodes every Wednesday.
