It’s Not That Serious

Coming to you from the car on our way back to Wisconsin after an unforgettable concert 🎶 We’re recapping the night, reliving our favorite moments, and then… things get real. We pull out the We're Not Really Strangers card game and the road trip turns into laughs, honesty, and some unexpectedly deep conversations. https://www.instagram.com/twinnytimes2/

We thought we knew our bodies until we hit our late 30s and now we’re like WTF.  Something has been… off. We’re tired—but wired. Snapping—but also crying in the car for no reason. Forgetting everything. Sweating at night. Questioning our sanity 😅 So we finally asked the question: Is this just life… or is this perimenopause?! This week on It’s Not That Serious, Amy and I are getting REAL about the phase no one prepared us for. The mood swings, the brain fog, the identity shifts—and why it feels like our bodies just went rogue overnight. We’re not doctors… we’re just in it. And if you are too? You are NOT crazy, and you are definitely not alone. Come laugh, vent, and figure this out with us. Follow along and share your thoughts with us on Instagram at @twinnytimes2

Friendship breakups don’t get talked about nearly enough — but they can hurt just as much (if not more) than romantic ones. In this episode, Amy and I get really honest about our personal experiences with friendships that didn’t last. We talk about the pain, the confusion, the growth, and the lessons we’ve learned along the way. From slowly drifting apart to sudden fallouts, we share what these relationships taught us about boundaries, expectations, and what healthy friendship actually looks like. We also talk about how those experiences shaped the friendship we have today — how we communicate, how we work through conflict, and how we’re intentionally choosing to show up for each other moving forward. Friendships evolve, and sometimes they end. That doesn’t always mean someone failed. Sometimes it just means you’re growing. If you’ve ever lost a friend, felt the sting of being misunderstood, or had to walk away from a relationship that no longer served you — this conversation is for you. In this episode we talk about: •Why friendship breakups can be so painful •Our personal experiences with friendships ending •The signs a friendship may be shifting or fading •What we’ve learned about boundaries and communication •How those experiences shaped the friendship we have today •Choosing healthier friendships moving forward Reminder: Not every friendship is meant to last forever — but every one can teach you something.

At some point in life, something strange happens — you look around and realize you’re the adult now. And somehow… that feels both empowering and mildly terrifying. In this episode of It’s Not That Serious, we’re talking about that weird moment in adulthood when you realize the responsibility is yours. The decisions, the direction, the consequences — all of it. And yet, most of us still feel like we’re figuring it out as we go. We dive into the feeling of being “in charge” of our lives while still questioning if we’re even qualified for the job. From imposter syndrome in adulthood to the pressure of making the “right” choices, we talk honestly about the tension between responsibility and self-doubt. Along the way, we reflect on the realization that the people we once looked up to probably didn’t have it all figured out either — they were just doing the best they could with what they had. If you’ve ever thought, “Wait… who trusted me with this?” this episode is for you. In this episode we talk about: The moment you realize you’re officially the adult in the room Why so many capable people still feel unqualified for their own lives The pressure of making big life decisions Learning to trust yourself even when you’re unsure The truth about how most people are navigating adulthood Taking responsibility for your life without letting the pressure crush you Listener Question: When was the moment you realized you were the one in charge now? Reminder: Life might be serious sometimes… but it’s still not that serious. Follow along and share your thoughts with us on Instagram at @twinnytimes2

In this episode of It’s Not That Serious, Amy and Kay open up about their friendship and how it started, why they kept it quiet at first, and the moments that made it undeniable.

This episode is a reflection on growth-the kind that doesn't come with clarity or confidence, but with grief, responsibility, and becoming someone new in real time. This past year changed everything. We talk openly about losing both parents-in-law, carrying grief while life keeps moving, and what it looks like to make big decisions-like buying a business - when your heart feels heavy and uncertain. We explore how growth often happens in seasons we didn't choose, and how becoming different isn't something to fear, but something to honor. Amy shares honestly about how she's not the same person she was a year ago-how growth has reshaped the way she sees herself, her relationships, and her capacity to show up differently than before. We talk about the quiet, internal shifts that don't always look dramatic from the outside, but change everything on the inside. Together, we reflect on what it means to outgrow old versions of yourself, to let go of who you were in order to step into who you're becoming, and to trust that change- even when it's uncomfortable-is part of the process. This conversation is for anyone who feels heavier than they did a year ago, quieter, wiser, or changed in ways they can't fully explain. It's for the people who kept showing up even when they didn't feel ready. The ones who survived a year that took something from them-and are still standing.   In this episode, we talk about:   How grief and growth can exist at the same time   Losing people who shaped your sense of family and normal   Choosing responsibility and expansion while still hurting   Amy's personal growth and how she's changed over the last year   The quiet ways growth shows up   Why being different doesn't mean something is wrong with you If this year changed you... it makes sense. Some years don't just pass-they leave their mark. …It's Not That Serious - but sometimes, it really is.   Follow Us on Instagram!

Are You My Mommy?” dives into why some of us become the fixer, the planner, the emotional load-bearer, and the one who tries to hold everything together even when no one asked us to. Kay opens up about her own experiences (yes… it gets personal), and she and Amy explore how these patterns start, why they’re so hard to break, and what it actually looks like to step out of the “mom” role for your own sanity. We’re talking: •The difference between healthy support and emotional parenting •Why certain personalities become the “default caregiver” •What happens when the parent-role friend burns out •How to shift into relationships that feel more balanced, mutual, and freeing If you’ve ever felt responsible for everyone else’s life, emotions, or decisions, this conversation will feel like a deep breath and a reality check. Listen in, laugh with us, and maybe—just maybe—retire from being everyone’s mom.

Why do I need to be believed? Is it that serious?    Ever catch yourself over-explaining like you’re on trial? Same. This week we ask: why do we need to be believed so badly and is it actually that serious, or are we just exhausting ourselves with receipts? We dig into childhood roots, adult over-explaining, and the deep need for validation.    Find us on Instagram at twinnytimes2 

Rejection hurts, whether it’s being ghosted, passed over for a job, or feeling like someone just isn’t that into us. In this episode of It’s Not That Serious, we dive into the fear of rejection and everything that comes with it: the anxiety, the overthinking, the sting to our ego, and even the funny (but not funny at the time) moments when rejection knocked us down.   We talk about why rejection feels so personal, how it can hold us back in relationships, careers, and even friendships, and how to shift the perspective so a “no” doesn’t define our worth.    If you’ve ever dreaded putting yourself out there, worried about not being enough, or just needed a reminder that rejection isn’t the end of the world (spoiler: it’s not that serious), this episode is for you.
