Eeyore & Tigger Energy

from we are NOT the SAME · host Heather Gardner and Lacey Joseph

Send us Fan MailThe mic caught us on a hard day—and we kept it rolling. Lacey names a depressive episode with no clear trigger, and we talk through what sadness feels like when it’s lodged in the body, why masking becomes second nature, and how a simple ritual—cranking music right after you “skip feeling”—can help release what you swallowed. No gloss, no edits, just the practice of showing up when you’d rather hide.From there, we let joy elbow its way in: book-club onesies, our Eeyore-and-Tigger energy, and the small acts that keep the floor from falling out. We pivot to dating with eyes wide open—love bombing, credential fakery, and the value of warning others without turning into a witch hunt. Honesty sits at the center: almost anything is repairable if the truth shows up; disrespect and lies aren’t. Along the way we talk boundaries, emotional availability, and why communication beats performance every time.Parenting and money get real fast. We weigh experience-first spending against spreadsheets, share practical tactics like holiday sinking funds and admit the tug-of-war between saving and making memories while kids still want to make them with us. Wrapped through it all is a simple promise to our people: we’ll tell the truth on the hard days and keep chasing light where we can. If you’re navigating depression or boundary-setting pull up a chair. Then tell us what you refuse to cut from your joy budget. If this resonated, follow, share with a friend, and leave a quick review—your words help others find a space where real life is welcome. -Support the show
