"...From Work Stress with Chronic Illness."

Welcome back, and today we’re diving into one of the quietest but heaviest tensions many people carry: trying to work while living in a body that doesn’t always cooperate.This episode is for anyone who’s ever woken up and immediately started the mental math: How much energy do I have today? What can I realistically give? What happens if my body has other plans? Because chronic illness doesn’t just affect your health—it touches your identity, your finances, your sense of purpose, and the constant pressure to prove you’re still capable.We’re talking about the real experience of working while sick: juggling appointments and deadlines, pushing through symptoms, feeling guilty when you need rest, and the invisible pressure to perform like everyone else running on a full battery. At the same time, work can also be an anchor; something that reminds you that you still have gifts, ideas, and contributions that matter.Today we unpack the complicated middle where most of us live: needing income but needing rest, wanting purpose but fearing burnout, grieving the career or capacity you once had while figuring out what’s still possible now.We also talk about the financial realities of chronic illness, the emotional toll of pretending you’re fine, and the surprising ways meaningful work can actually support mental health and identity. Plus, we break down disability protections like the ADA and why asking for accommodations isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom.Because the goal isn’t pushing until you collapse. It’s building a life—and a work rhythm—that your body can actually survive.If you’re navigating illness and employment at the same time, you’re not failing. You’re doing something incredibly hard. And you’re not alone. XOXO, Marisa & Britt *Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com

"...From My Chronically Ill Sex Life."

Feb 1200:48:25Tap to summarize

Get ready - today we’re talking about sex. The real kind. Not the candlelit, slow-motion, rom-com version. The “we love each other but I’m exhausted, inflamed, hormonally confused, and my joints sound like bubble wrap” version.This episode is for the couples who deeply love each other… but feel like intimacy has gotten complicated. Not because the spark is dead. Not because anyone’s failing. But because chronic illness, infertility, trauma, medication side effects, body changes, stress, and mental load have entered the chat — and they did not bring champagne.We’re unpacking why sex often becomes the first place strain shows up in a relationship when your nervous system is fried. Why safety matters more than spontaneity. Why shame makes everything worse. And why “just try harder” is the worst advice ever given to a tired human with a hormone imbalance.This is not about pressure. It’s not about performance. It’s about connection. About understanding that intimacy shifts in seasons. About grieving the body you used to have without turning against the one you live in now. About learning how to talk without defensiveness and listen without panic.If Valentine’s content made you roll your eyes and reach for chocolate instead of lingerie — you are not alone.Sex isn’t the engine of a relationship. It’s often the temperature check. And when life gets layered, the goal isn’t perfection — it’s safety, honesty, and rebuilding closeness in ways that honor your body instead of fighting it.So grab your headphones. This one’s tender, real, and maybe exactly what your relationship needs to hear. 💛

"...From New Year, New Me Pressure."

Jan 3001:03:13Tap to summarize

Hey friends, welcome back...and congratulations, you survived another year. Which means you’re probably tired, reflective, and already being pressured to know what your “goals” are before you’ve even finished processing what last year cost you.Today’s episode is I’d Like to Unsubscribe from New Year, New Me Pressure. January has a way of showing up like an uninvited life coach, demanding optimism, discipline, and a five-step plan… while your nervous system is still in recovery mode.This isn’t an episode about reinventing yourself, waking up at 5 a.m., or becoming a “new year, new personality” person. Hard pass. It’s about why resolutions fail (spoiler: your brain and body hate pressure), why intensity feels exciting but rarely sustainable, and why so many of us burn out by February feeling like we “did it wrong” again.We dig into the science of stress, cortisol, and decision fatigue, especially for those living with chronic illness, trauma histories, or caregiving roles. We talk about why desperation is a terrible place to build habits from, and why your nervous system needs safety before it can sustain change. And yes — we lovingly call out resolution & hustle culture for confusing growth with punishment.Instead of resolutions, we introduce a gentler, smarter framework: intentions, values, and what we call the Wish List Method. Not a to-do list. Not a self-improvement boot camp. Just an honest inventory of what actually matters in this season of your life — and what you’re realistically able to hold.If you’re walking into this year hopeful but cautious… tired but still wanting something better… this episode is for you. You don’t need more pressure. You need alignment, permission, and a plan that doesn’t ask you to sacrifice your health to prove your worth.Let’s unsubscribe from the guilt — and move forward wisely, together. ✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt *Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com

"...From The Negativity."

Jan 1400:57:53Tap to summarize

Hey friends. And welcome back to I’d Like to Unsubscribe — the podcast where we lovingly roast our own coping mechanisms and admit that sometimes… we are not a delight.Today’s episode is I’d Like to Unsubscribe from My Negativity. Because let’s be honest: when you live with chronic illness, trauma, or long-term stress, negativity isn’t a personality flaw — it’s often a survival skill that overstayed its welcome.You might feel during or post-holiday season that everything is cranked up. Grief. Expectations. Old wounds. The life you thought you’d be living by now. And suddenly you’re not just tired — you’re spiraling, snappy, cynical, and wondering when you became this person. (Answer: you didn’t. Your nervous system did.)In this episode, we break down why negativity shows up in the first place — and spoiler alert, it’s not because you’re ungrateful or spiritually failing. We talk science: cortisol, trauma, chronic inflammation, and how your brain literally gets stuck in threat mode. We talk psychology: how negativity becomes protection. And yes, we talk faith — because Jesus has a lot to say about weariness, despair, and hope that doesn’t come from pretending everything’s fine.This is not a “just think positive” episode. Hard pass. This is a real conversation about how negativity forms, why it feels so hard to shake, and how to gently — compassionately — find your way back to hope without shaming yourself into it.If you’ve been stuck in your own head lately… if you don’t recognize the version of yourself that shows up exhausted and pessimistic… you’re not broken. You’re human. And you’re not alone.Let’s unsubscribe from the spiral — together. ✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com

"...From My Hormones."

Dec 1600:53:20Tap to summarize

Welcome back to I’d Like to Unsubscribe — the podcast where we finally talk about the things women are Googling at 2 a.m. while sweating through the sheets and wondering who hijacked their body.Today’s episode is for anyone who’s thought, “Is it just me, or did my entire system change without warning?” Spoiler: it’s not just you — it’s perimenopause and menopause, and no one handed us the manual.We’re unpacking the real stuff: mood swings, night sweats, brain fog, disappearing confidence, and that unsettling moment when your patience evaporates and your “give-a-damn” goes missing. This isn’t doom-and-gloom — it’s an honest, adult conversation about what’s actually happening inside your body and why you suddenly feel off.We break down the hormone players (estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, thyroid, testosterone — yes, women have it), how stress hijacks the whole system, and why trying to “fix hormones” without calming your nervous system is like repainting a house with a cracked foundation. Science, faith, and sarcasm all make an appearance.If you’ve been told “this is just part of being a woman,” felt dismissed, or wondered why everything feels harder lately — this episode is for you. You’re not broken. You’re not dramatic. Your body is adapting, and it deserves support, not shame.XOXOX Britt & Marisa

"...From My Infertility."

Dec 400:53:18Tap to summarize

Welcome back to I’d Like to Unsubscribe, the podcast where we gently unstick the emotional gum from the bottom of your soul — and today, we’re unsubscribing from infertility… or rather, from the shame, silence, and self-blame that tend to come with it.This episode is for anyone who has ever lived in the monthly cycle of hope → symptom-stalking → heartbreak. For the ones who’ve smiled through baby showers, cried in Target aisles, or rehearsed answers for nosy relatives who apparently moonlight as fertility detectives. For the women who have carried invisible grief in their bodies, in their calendars, in their prayers — and felt alone in a pain almost no one talks about.We’re diving into the real stuff: the emotional weight, the biology behind infertility, and the often-ignored connection between autoimmune disease and conception challenges. Spoiler: your body isn’t “broken,” “lazy,” or “failing.” It’s fighting battles most people never see.We’ll unpack how autoimmune activity can affect ovulation, implantation, early pregnancy, hormones, and why so many women discover their underlying disease because fertility treatments didnt’t work. We’ll talk about inflammation, antibodies, thyroid dysfunction, progesterone, stress, and all the quiet science hiding behind the word “unexplained.”But this episode isn’t just science — it’s soul. We’re talking about the longing, the guilt, the questions no one prepares you for, and the truth that your worth has nothing — zero — to do with your reproductive outcomes.Whether your story leads to pregnancy, adoption, surrogacy, fostering, or a completely different, holy path… you are still whole. Still worthy. Still beloved. And you are absolutely not walking this road alone.. ✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com

"...From Bad Boundaries."

Nov 1901:04:56Tap to summarize

Season 3 is starting off spicy, holy, and slightly unhinged — because today we are unsubscribing from our bad boundaries. You know, the ones that convinced us we were being “kind” when really we were being walked on like a welcome mat at Costco.This episode is for anyone who has ever said “Sure, no problem!” while their soul quietly curled up in the fetal position. If you’ve ever answered a text at 1 a.m., agreed to “just one more thing,” or taken responsibility for someone else’s emotional circus — buckle up, babe. This one’s for you.We’re breaking down why saying no can feel like betrayal, why faith communities often confuse boundaries with being “selfish,” and how psychology and Scripture actually agree on one thing: your peace is holy, and protecting it is spiritual warfare.We’ll talk about the two kinds of boundaries — defining and protective — and why most of us are out here trying to survive life with chalk lines instead of fences. We’ll unpack the difference between being Christ-like and being chronically overextended (spoiler: Jesus had incredible boundaries), why your nervous system literally needs limits, and how weak boundaries lead to anxiety, resentment, burnout, and autoimmune flares.And of course, we’re doing it with plenty of sarcasm, self-dragging, Bible verses, research, and the gentle reminder that you’re not responsible for everyone’s comfort.By the end, you’ll have a few one-liners, a few hard truths, and a whole new understanding of how to guard your heart without becoming a troll under the bridge.Ready to unsubscribe from the “yes at my own expense” life? Let’s go. ✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com

"...From My Sleeplessness"

Nov 500:49:07Tap to summarize

Welcome to I’d Like to Unsubscribe, where today’s episode comes with a complimentary gift: dark circles, puffy eyes, and a dash of existential fatigue. Yep, we’re talking insomnia. This isn’t about one late night of scrolling or stressing — this is that long-term, toxic relationship with your pillow. You’re together every night, but it never gives you what you need. And if you live with autoimmune disease, thyroid issues, or chronic illness, sleep can feel less like rest and more like another job you’re failing at.We’re diving into the science of sleeplessness — how even one night of bad sleep can slash your immune function by 70%, why your thyroid might be behind your 2 a.m. anxiety hour, and how the more you try to sleep, the less it happens.But this isn’t just about the problem — we’re talking solutions too. From gentle, science-backed remedies to soul-level grace, we’ll help you remember what your body already knows: it hasn’t forgotten how to rest. It just needs compassion, not caffeine.So grab your tea, ditch the guilt, and settle in. Because if we’re all awake at 2 a.m. anyway, we might as well talk about it — and finally unsubscribe from sleepless nights. ✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com

"...From Our Trigger Story"

Oct 2200:53:49Tap to summarize

Welcome back to I’d Like to Unsubscribe, where we courageously unpack the hard things… and cope with sarcasm, snacks, and zero copays. Today’s episode comes with a trigger warning—because we’re literally talking about triggers. You know the story: life was fine-ish and then BAM—pregnancy, a loss, burnout, an accident, trauma, or a stress avalanche later—your body went from “we’re thriving” to “system malfunction… please reboot.”This episode is for anyone who has ever asked: “Why did my body turn on me?” or “Was there a moment everything changed?” Because here’s the thing—most autoimmune warriors can point to a major life event (good or bad) that flipped the switch. Science backs this up: stress hormones, trauma, grief, and overwhelm can dysregulate the immune system, activate dormant genes, and send inflammation into a rave with no exit plan. Cute, right? But here’s what we REALLY want you to hear: Your trigger story is not your whole story.It’s just the prologue. Not the plot.We’re breaking down the biology of trauma, the emotional aftermath, and the grief your doctor never warned you about. But we’re also talking hope, agency, nervous system healing, and how to stop letting one chapter define your entire book. If you need to pause and cry into your dog’s fur—or your gluten-free muffin—we support that.Pull up a chair, take a breath, and let’s peel back these layers together. We promise tenderness, truth, and just enough humor to keep you from running away.Press play. It’s time to unsubscribe from shame—and reclaim your story. ✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com

"...From The Comparison Trap"

Oct 801:06:17Tap to summarize

Hey Tribe, welcome back to I’d Like to Unsubscribe—and today’s episode? Oh, it’s a juicy one. We’re talking comparison—the thief of joy, peace, and probably your last shred of self-esteem after three hours of doom scrolling. You know the drill: someone on Instagram’s out there juicing kale, glowing like a seraphim, running a 5K, and somehow managing to look “effortlessly undone.” Meanwhile, you’re horizontal with a heating pad, contemplating dry shampoo as self-care. And suddenly, you’re in the spiral: Why can’t I be more like her?Here’s the thing—comparison doesn’t motivate us; it erodes us. Especially when you’re living with chronic illness. You’re not just comparing aesthetics; you’re comparing capacity. Your body is literally fighting battles someone else doesn’t even have. And yet, you still feel like you’re losing a race that was never fair to begin with. We’re breaking it all down: why our brains are wired for comparison (thanks, dopamine), how it triggers stress hormones like cortisol (hello, inflammation and pain), and why Scripture had it right all along—“envy rots the bones.” Literally.This episode isn’t about guilt—it’s about grace. We’re calling out the fake filters, the hustle illusions, and the silent shame that says you’re “behind.” Because you’re not behind—you’re healing, surviving, and showing up in a world that demands performance over peace. So grab your coffee—or your heating pad—and tune in. Let’s unsubscribe from the comparison trap once and for all. ✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com
