"Everything is Politicized"
Hosted by Meredith Shirey & Isaiah Vallejo-Juste
Produced by The Bored Brand
Description:
Are politics making it more difficult to manage our relationships? From our personal lives to our professional lives it seems as though an increasing number of subjects are becoming more difficult to have meaningful conversation about. Is this a symptom of heightened awareness and mindfulness surrounding the needs of others, or is this the limit to our collective tolerance? How do we normalize conversations that may make us uncomfortable and possibly find acceptance in the discord?

"Life Happens"
Hosted by Meredith Shirey & Isaiah Vallejo-Juste
Produced by The Bored Brand
Description:
When we look at the past, we tend to look at it through rose-colored glasses. "Everything was better," and we are comforted but crippled by a false sense of nostalgia. For most, we hold a belief that pre-COVID everything was great. But was that really true? How do we reach a point of acceptance for where we are now, and an appreciation of what we have, and the feelings we hold?

Episode 11 | Infidelity
Hosted by Meredith Shirey & Isaiah Vallejo-Juste
Produced by The Bored Brand
While it may seem like the definition of infidelity is clear-cut and unwavering, the concept of infidelity has significantly shifted over the decades and centuries. Where proof of sexual impropriety once served as the sole and clear intent of unfaithfulness in conventional marriages, the onset of love matching in modern day marital relations has blurred the lines for what constitutes indiscretion. We unpack why that is, and what to do about it.
