98: We're Labeling the Wrong Things

from Nuance Needed · host Nuance Needed

In this episode, we're unpacking why everything from nail polish to dating behavior now needs its own branded term and how that's making us more paranoid and less equipped to handle real life. This episode is quite a wild ride... we start out by talking about beauty trends, how online culture is making us paranoid, and then unpack our feelings about current events, specifically the Epstein files. We don't go into details about it but discuss how we are sitting with it, the misoginy, and our anger. We round out the episode by Amanda reading to Sam the most ridiculous internet dating terms and Sam sharing her unpopular opinions. As always, we don't have answers here, but we have ideas and hope to keep you company and model that you can feel horror and still laugh about jelly milk nails. If you’d like to support the show one of the best things you can do is leave us a review and share the pod!
