This week, we're doing a deep dive into Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way," a popular 12-week self-help book, first published in 1992, that guides readers through a spiritual path to recover and unlock their creativity through exercises and tools like "Morning Pages" (three pages of stream-of-consciousness writing) and "Artist Dates" (solo creative outings). It helps people overcome creative blocks, self-sabotage, and limiting beliefs to foster self-confidence and artistic growth. If you've been feeling creatively blocked, stuck, or you're just looking to dig deeper into your artist soul, this one's for you.Sip of the Week: Ginger tea with honey and lemon. Follow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius

Spring is here! Which means it’s time to clear out the clutter, inside and out.In this episode, we’re diving into spring cleaning in every sense of the word. Not just organizing your space, but taking a deeper look at what you’ve been carrying mentally and emotionally after a long, heavy winter. Because sometimes, things have to get a little messier before they can truly get clean.We talk about how decluttering your environment can shift your internal world, why this season is the perfect time to revisit your New Year intentions, and how to gently check back in with yourself: What still feels aligned? What needs to change? What are you ready to release?Consider this your invitation to reset, regroup, and step into the spring and summer feeling lighter, clearer, and more like yourself again.Sip of the Week: Jamaican Carrot Juice (carrot juice, coconut milk, condensed milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, vanilla extract, salt) Follow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius

This week, we’re catching up with our friend Jaylan Evans, who you may recognize as Skylar Summerhill on Netflix's My Life with the Walter Boys. It’s been a minute since we’ve seen him! He's been busy off filming, and this conversation feels like both a reunion and a deep dive into everything that’s changed.Jaylan takes us behind the scenes of working on a Netflix series: what life on set is really like, how TV and film differ from our shared roots in theatre, and the adjustments that come with stepping into a whole new world as a performer.We also rewind to the not-so-glamorous chapter—his life in NYC before booking. From working retail and living paycheck to paycheck to navigating constant audition rejection, Jaylan opens up about the persistence it took to keep going… all the way to landing a series regular role.It’s an honest, inspiring, and full-circle conversation about friendship, growth, and what happens when everything you’ve been working toward finally meets you where you are.Sip of the Week: Dark & StormyFollow Jaylan!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jaylanevans/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/discover/jaylan-evansWebsite: https://www.jaylanevans.comFollow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius

What does it actually mean to be a lucky girl?In this episode, we dive into the idea of Lucky Girl Syndrome. The belief that things always seem to work out for you. But is luck something that just happens… or is it something you create?We talk about our own experiences with feeling lucky (and very unlucky), the mindset shifts that can open doors, and the ways belief, action, and timing all play a role in the opportunities that come your way. Is luck manifestation? Privilege? Perspective? Or just being brave enough to try?Whether you swear the universe is conspiring in your favor or you think luck is total BS, this episode explores what it really means to “get lucky," and how you might be able to create a little more of it in your own life.Sip of the week: Coconut Matcha Latte (matcha, coconut water & cream of coco)Follow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius

Be honest ...who are you a little too invested in?This week we’re talking parasocial relationships: the fine line between harmless admiration and… let’s say, concerning attachment. Social media has made access to celebrities and influencers feel intimate, immediate, and constant. We’re questioning whether having a parasocial relationship is basically unavoidable now.We get into why we’re so quick to judge public figures, why we assume money and fame erase real problems, and what makes us feel so entitled to every detail of someone’s life. Do we actually know these people , or just the curated highlight reel they’ve chosen to share?If you’ve ever defended, dragged, obsessed over, or felt personally connected to someone who has no idea you exist… this one’s for you.Sip of the Week: Hot MochaFollow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius

It’s our Valentine’s Day special, and we’re diving headfirst into the five love languages. In this episode, we break down each love language, what it really looks like in real life, and how learning them has helped us better understand ourselves and the people we love.We also share our own love languages and how we tend to give love, how we feel most loved in return, and why those preferences matter so much when it comes to feeling secure in relationships. Whether you’re deep in love, navigating dating, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, this episode is an invitation to reflect on what makes your heart feel truly full!Sip of the Week: Red Velvet Espresso Martini Follow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius

This week, we’re joined by special guest Blaine Christopher of Blaine’s Book Club for a deeply reflective conversation about the art that changed us. We talk about the characters, books, pieces of writing, and creative projects that helped us see ourselves more clearly, and ultimately shaped how we understand and make art today. Along the way, we open up a new chapter for the podcast, discussing queerness for the first time: what it’s like to exist within a small but deeply affirming community, the hope for broader acceptance, and how these identities can inform your creative life. We also explore the idea of gender as a social construct, and how questioning what we’re taught can be both grounding and expansive. A thoughtful, honest episode about recognition, belonging, and the art that gives us language for who we are.Sip of the Week: Apricot Jasmine TeaFollow Blaine! Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blainesbookclub/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@blainesbookclubFollow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius

This week, we’re talking about making hard decisions. The quiet ones, the uncomfortable ones, the ones you don’t always see coming. Not just the obvious crossroads life throws at you, but those moments when something starts to feel out of alignment, and you can’t ignore it anymore. We dive into financial choices, relationship shifts, career moves, and the inner knowing that tells you it’s time to change even when it’s scary. These are the decisions you may not want to make, but deep down, you know will serve you in the long run.Sip of the Week: Sleepy Girl Mocktail (Tart Cherry Juice topped off with a fizzy drink of your choice)Follow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius

We hit record without a plan this week and let the conversation flow.

As we enter what many consider the hardest stretch of the year (January through March) we’re talking about the winter blues. In this episode, we break down the difference between Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and the more mild version of seasonal heaviness that so many people experience. We explore some eye-opening statistics, unpack why this season can feel especially challenging, and share practical, realistic ways to support yourself through it.Instead of fighting winter, we’re choosing to reframe it. This season, we’re leaning into what winter offers, such as rest, reflection, and a slower pace. We find ways to optimize our routines, mindset, and energy along the way. Sip of the Week: London Fog (Earl Grey Tea steeped in water with a dash of vanilla extract, topped with steamed milk & a hint of cinnamon)Follow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius

In this New Year’s Day episode, we’re joined by Audrey Trullinger for an honest conversation about one of the most misunderstood concepts in personal growth: manifestation. While vision boards, affirmations, and “calling it in” can be powerful tools, they’re only part of the equation.We unpack why manifestation isn’t passive, why clarity without action can keep you stuck, and how true alignment requires both intention and follow-through. Together, we explore what it actually looks like to meet the universe halfway-showing up, doing the work, and trusting the process without bypassing responsibility.If you’re stepping into the new year with big dreams, this episode is your reminder that magic happens when belief and action work together.Sip of the Week: Passion Fruit Margarita Follow Audrey!Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/audreytrullinger/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@audreytrullinger?lang=enFollow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius

This Christmas morning, we’re leaning into something simple, but incredibly powerful: kindness.In this special holiday episode, we explore how small, unexpected acts of kindness can ripple outward in ways we may never fully see. The holidays can be joyful, but they can also be heavy, lonely, and complicated for so many people, and kindness has a way of cutting through all of that.We start by reading some of the most moving stories of the year from the Random Acts of Kindness Reddit page, moments of humanity, generosity, and quiet care that reminded us how good people can be. From there, we share our own experiences with giving and receiving random acts of kindness, along with realistic ideas for how you can spread kindness in your everyday life.To close, we read listener write-ins about moments that changed them, times when a stranger showed up, or when they were able to be that person for someone else.Whether you’re celebrating, grieving, resting, or just getting through the day, this episode is a reminder that you never know what someone is carrying, and kindness can go a long way. We hope this episode feels like a soft place to land this holiday season. 🎄✨Sip of the Week: Eggnog with Homemade Whipped Cream Follow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius

As the year winds down and we stand on the edge of 2026, this episode is an honest end-of-year check-in. Instead of rushing into goals, resolutions, and reinvention, we slow down and ask a different question: what’s no longer serving us?We talk about the habits, beliefs, expectations, and patterns we’re ready to release, and why letting go is often the most powerful form of growth. Before you add more to your plate, this is an invitation to clear space, soften your grip, and leave behind what no longer fits.Because sometimes the real transformation doesn’t come from what you’re chasing next…it comes from what you finally allow yourself to put down.Sip of the Week: Tini's Homemade Hot Chocolate with Peppermint Whipped Cream Follow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius

This week, we’re joined by our dear friend Mikayla, newly married and glowing just one month after the big day. In a world where the conversation is often centered around dating, situationships, and celebrating singleness, we wanted to highlight a different truth: some people find their person early, grow up together, and build something beautiful long before 30.Mikayla and her husband have been together for over ten years, and in this episode, she opens up about what healthy love has looked like for them from adolescence into adulthood. We dive into her best tips for partnership, the realities and stressors of wedding planning, and the pressure of societal expectations around what a wedding “should” be.We also unpack some of the toxic language around “finding your person” and how that narrative can make people feel behind or unworthy. Together, we emphasize this reminder: wherever you are in your love journey — single, dating, settling down, or unsure, it’s valid. You’re not behind. You’re not ahead. You’re exactly where you’re meant to be.Tune in for a grounded, heartfelt conversation about growing love, choosing partnership, and rewriting the norms around relationships.Sip of the Week: Porto Tonic (a classic Portuguese cocktail containing a mix of port wine & tonic water.

In this week’s episode, we get real about one of the most universal parts of your 20s: outgrowing friendships. We talk about how distance, time, mismatched energy, and shifting priorities can slowly create space between you and people who once felt like family.We share our own experiences with recognizing when certain friendships were draining us instead of filling our cup, and how heartbreaking, but necessary it can be to step back. From tough confrontations to unexpected fallouts to moments where we didn’t feel seen by the people we trusted most, we unpack the messy, uncomfortable parts no one warns you about.And because growth isn’t all loss, we end on a hopeful note: how we’re nurturing the friendships that feel aligned, supportive, and safe today.If you’ve ever wondered whether growing apart means something is “wrong” with you, this episode will make you feel a little less alone.Sip of the Week: Cacao Latte (Cacao powder, maple syrup, & a dash of cinnamon mixed with steamed milk)Follow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius

This week’s episode comes out on Thanksgiving, so we’re leaning all the way into gratitude. Every episode, we start with our “Smile of the Week," a ritual where we each share something that made us smile to help ground ourselves and practice looking for the good. But for this special holiday episode, we’re taking it bigger: welcome to Smile of the Year.We each pick our five biggest “smiles” from the entire year — across categories we made together.  We reflect on the moments, people, and experiences that lifted us, surprised us, or reminded us we’re growing. This tradition actually comes from something we used to do in our real friendship during tough seasons. Every day we’d write down ten things that made us smile in our notes apps and then read them to each other at night. It trained our brains to notice joy, even in the smallest places.Grab something warm, settle in, and celebrate Thanksgiving with us — one smile at a time.Sip of the week: Cranberry Mocktail (pure cranberry juice, ginger beer, a squeeze of orange w/ an orange zest & white sugar rim) Follow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius

This week, we get honest about our quarter-life crises. From career dissatisfaction and “What am I even doing?” spirals to the weirdness of getting older and navigating mental health, we open up about everything that’s been weighing on us. By the end, we each share three things that have changed for the better in the last year, reminding ourselves (and you) that even when life feels stagnant, growth is still happening in small, quiet ways. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your path, this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone. Sip of the Week: Golden Milk Latte (turmeric, nutmeg, cinnamon, honey, maple butter, a dash of sea salt & your milk of choice)Follow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius

In this episode, we trace the evolution of social media — from the days of posting for our friends to the era of endless scrolling and algorithmic validation. What once connected us now often leaves us comparing ourselves to people we’ve never met. We talk about how TikTok shifted everything — the rise of unrealistic beauty standards, the pressure to perform, and the exhaustion of being an artist in a world that demands constant content.But it’s not all doom and gloom. We close with real, practical ways to quiet the noise, reconnect with yourself, and reclaim your peace in the digital age.Sip of the Week: Honey Chai Turmeric TeaFollow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius

This week, our friend and Broadway performer Andrew Stevens Purdy joins us for a nostalgic deep dive into The Life of a Music Theatre Major.A decade after first stepping onto Elon University’s campus, we rewind to those nerve-wracking college auditions, the excitement of getting in, and what made us choose Elon in the first place. We talk about the highs, the hardships, and the chaos that comes with a music theatre degree — a college experience that’s anything but typical.We also open up about what it was like graduating in 2020, how the pandemic flipped our plans upside down, and the lessons we’ve learned since — both in art and in life. Andrew shares his journey from those college days to The Book of Mormon on Broadway, where he’s now three years and nearly 1,200 performances in.It’s a nostalgic conversation about the unpredictable path of chasing your dreams.Sip of the Week: Apple Cider Mimosa Ft.

In this week’s continuation of our spooky October series, we’re sitting face to face with the ghosts that haunt our hearts. We each share unsettling stories of times we were ghosted — not after one date, but by people we genuinely knew, trusted, and cared about.We keep it light, but we also get real about the long-term hurt, confusion, and self-blame ghosting can leave behind. From confronting the never-ending “why?” to finding closure within ourselves, we open up about how we’ve learned to navigate the silence.Plus, we dip into the psychology of ghosting — what we've learned about why people disappear, and why understanding it doesn’t always make it hurt less.Grab your Ouija boards — this one’s sure to conjure up some feelings. 👻Sip of the week: Eola-Amity Hills 2024 Pinot Noir (Salem, Oregon)Follow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius

In honor of our spooky October series, we’re diving into the scariest topic of all — our past selves. This week, we’re running it back through the funny, embarrassing stories that make us cringe when they resurface. But as the conversation deepens, we open up about the ways our past still haunts us — from teachers and mentors whose words stuck, to deeper traumas that continue to shape how we move through the world.In our most vulnerable episode yet, we reflect on how healing and growth allow us to look back, learn, and ultimately break those cycles — now that we’re the ones showing up as mentors, teachers, and caretakers for the next generation.It’s raw, emotional, and a reminder that sometimes the ghosts of our past are really just lessons in disguise, guiding us toward a better future.Trigger Warning: Sexual Harassment 57:35Sip of the Week: Iced Pumpkin Spice LatteFollow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius

Planting seeds - AKA, investing in your future. Similarly to a real garden, you must tend to the seeds you plant in order for them to flourish. Though planting the seeds of life is exciting, it can also feel frustrating and anxiety-inducing because there are often no immediate results. In this week's episode, we will be discussing the importance of helping your future self through building a life that you love. Sometimes, you have to start small in order to turn your lemons into lemonade (or a limoncello spritz). Whether it's career, love life, friendship, or your overall well being, there are seeds to be planted in all aspects of our lives, and we are here to grow alongside you.Plant! Those!

When we hear “self-care,” it’s easy to picture spa days or beach vacations. But real self-care is far less glamorous — and far more powerful. It’s the daily practice of showing up for yourself in the small, often difficult ways: getting out of bed when you’d rather hit snooze, fueling your body with nourishing foods, moving with intention, and knowing when to step away from the noise.In this week’s episode, we explore how true self-care lives in the balance of discipline and softness. We dive into the raw work of healing — processing emotions instead of avoiding them, practicing gratitude, detaching from unhelpful thoughts, and recognizing when our brains are holding us back in the name of protection. It’s gritty, it’s hard, and it’s often messy — but on the other side is a stronger, wiser, more aligned, and more joyful version of you.Sip of the Week: Iced Banana Bread Latte Follow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius

Are all trips as luxurious as they seem on social media? In this week's episode, we're sharing some of our favorite travel stories that didn't quite make it on the Instagram feed.

This week we're asking a serious question: are men okay?  From dates that failed miserably, to encounters that were downright unsettling, we're sharing our experiences navigating today's questionable dating pool. Along the way, we explore how unprocessed male trauma and entitlement often show up- and how it can impact women in both small and significant ways. Whether it's bizarre behavior, inappropriate advances,  or so called "mentors" who turned out to be predators, these stories highlight why meeting people can feel so complicated. Between dodged kisses, unsolicited guitar performances, and more than a few red flags...it's going to be a wild ride.Trigger Warning: Themes of sexual harassment from 44:14 Sip of the Week: Yves DuPort Rose Celine Follow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius
