Borderline Irrelevant Podcast
It's crazy how much stress can affect someone, in so many different ways! Michelle opens up this week and talks about her skin journey and accutane experience - it may have been short, but it definitely was crazy. Oh, and her doctor might've been a little... flirty... (consensually) #yikes. Hopefully this normalizes any acne experience you may be going through, or any insecurity for that matter. We're all going through something, but talking about it makes it 10x better!
We couldn't leave last week's topic alone just yet. This week, Michelle fully exposes her guilty pleasure - #RealityTV - and attempts to draw some meaningful conclusions from all the drama. Call us crazy, but we might have some borderline irrelevant points? Strap in the for tea and trashy TV recommendations
What is love...? Is there a formula... or strategy...? Keep in mind, we only seek out borderline irrelevant facts here, but this week we took a look into the differences between traditional and online dating. Does one method work better than the other?
Do all fairytales need to have a happy ending? This week, we are wonderfully joined yet again with the main character, Kate, as she breaks down some German Folklore, collected by the ever so famous, Brothers Grimm. We've got some snakes, little men, powerful leaves, and a cheating wife... can you say #drama!
It's no secret that dating in this day and age is truly a game. This week we talk dating s-lang (shout out to episode 9): bread-crumbing, stashing, zombieing... all of the above. Nothing is off limits! Let us know if you've heard of any of these terms because half of them threw us off ...
Thought we'd skip episode 13? Absolutely not!! We did some borderline research this week on some well known superstitions, and some pretty random ones. Key takeaways: be nice to the trees, never be a bridesmaid 3 times, always carry salt with you, and Christmas Eve is the most important day of the year. Happy listening!!
This week we introduce you to the * main character * of our lives... Kate! Kate and Steph are not only sisters, but best friends, and their relationship is something so great - they are so similar and so opposite at the same time, but have such a respect and admiration for each other that goes beyond friendship… obviously a sisterly bond. How are they so close and how much effort does it take, or is their bond natural?
Sometimes it’s perceived that introverts are “less confident” than extroverts, because they’re simply not as outspoken or “loud” when it comes to sharing their thoughts and ideas publicly. We listened to The Power of Introverts, a Ted Talk by Susan Cain, that validated the fact that introverted qualities are different from being shy; it's all about how you respond to social stimulation. Would you rather go out, or stay in, or a little bit of both?
HAPPY 10th EPISODE! We have been #blessed with our first special guest Mamma J! She split MAJOR tea and we were all for it! Buckle up because the mic is about to be DROPPED.
MAJOR DISCLAIMER: nothing said in this episode is intended to be factual, these are just our light opinions to banter back and forth so take everything with a grain of salt, we're not trying to get anyone in trouble here...
If we haven't justified our name - Borderline Irrelevant - enough, this week we talked through some of the most random idioms and shower thoughts. After a stressful week, we really needed the pick me up, and we hope it makes you guys laugh too! But really though... what are snails even trying to do?
Let's be real, whether we like it or not, social media is a huge part of our daily lives. This week we fully babbled on about the different platforms and how they've changed over the years and the pressures, or communities they create. At the end of the day, being your true authentic genuine self is the best way to be, but it's a lot harder to say than actually do. What's your favourite platform.. and better question... what's your favourite TikTok ;)
What do you call someone who's too obsessed with Tiktok but refuses to give up the middle part? A #Zillennial! Zillennials are a micro-generation constituted of people from 1993-1998 that graduated high school from 2012-2016. We really had fun with this one, going down memory lane and reliving all of our fun times. Pull out your iPod nano and capri pants, because we're going back to the early 2000s!
Your twenties are described as a period of exploration, but are we confusing exploration for procrastination? This week we react to Meg Jay’s 2013 TedTalk titled: Why 30 is NOT the new 20. How does this apply to our lives in 2021? Is she right, or are there some flaws in her reasoning? Let's tackle #adulting together... we know we're definitely not alone!
This week, Steph became a self-titled "borderline irrelevant" astrologer and interpreted our astrological natal charts. We look at the sun, the moon, and everything the planets have to tell us about our lives! Take a look at your birth cart and follow along with us, but remember... take it all with a few grains of stardust!
It’s a normal expectation that not every romantic relationship will last forever, but for some reason that same expectation isn’t placed on all friendships. We got a tad heavier this week, and reflected on some of the friendships we've had in the past that got a bit messy towards the end. At the end of the day, the end of a friendship doesn’t mean one or both friends are bad people, it just means the relationship wasn’t working. Hopefully this conversation is a step towards normalizing friendship breakups and helps anyone going through it!
Shame on us... #em·bar·rass·ment. It's safe to say we've all had our fair share of embarrassing moments, but the first step to getting over them is laughing about it... right? This week we completely out ourselves and relive all the cringe and all the awkward. Warning: second hand embarrassment may occur... listen at your own risk!!
Family and friends, thank you for returning once again to our little slice of the Internet. This week, we are delving into the deepest parts of ourselves by taking the 16 Personalities test! We talk about who we think we are vs who the test determines we are... is Michelle quiet and mystical yet very inspiring? Is Steph an innovative inventor with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge? All is revealed in this episode so grab yourself your fave bevy and join us for the rollercoaster that is our true personalities!
It's official! We have an episode...finally! Have you ever felt like... a fraud? A little extreme, but we've realized it's more relatable than it sounds. For our very first episode, we deep dive into Imposter Syndrome, its tendencies and how it has popped up during moments in our personal and professional lives. So please, grab a glass of your favourite bevvy and join us for the very first episode of Borderline Irrelevant!
