  • Whimsyyyyyy

    Liz, I love you. Whimsmaxxxxxing Ep. 1 is such an IMPORTANT listen for us as (millennial?) adults. Being playful is what is changing my life as an adult and romanticizing my life makes hard things so much easier to handle. “ Put your nervous system in the right place to take care of others during this time.”

    I love you and your whimsy!

  • Mouth sounds

    I love Liz and I love her TikTok content. I tuned into podcast for first time because I love Jared Fried - wonderful content but Liz keeps sucking in air or making this like slurping sound when she laughs or exclaims/inhales and it’s so hard to hear. Maybe it’s a clogged nose and she can’t breathe through nose but it’s so loud in the microphone. 😭

Deinfluencing You From Having an Eating Disorder

She shares a personal, detailed narrative of her own journey, emphasizes that recovery is ongoing and actions matter more than theories, and advises consulting medical professionals and prioritizing daily concrete steps toward recovery.
We’re Having a Broke Hot Girl Summer
Q: Emma asks how to handle the embarrassment of telling others she's pregnant, and whether marriage or commitment should be a consideration given the pregnancy.

Whimsymaxx Your Own Disappointment
Q: So how do I trust myself more in these moments? How do I stop shrinking and actually advocate for myself and my ideas?
The host suggests practicing small-scale assertiveness to build muscle, adopting an alter ego for high-stakes moments, and using references like role models (e.g., Dua Lipa or Trevor) to inform behavior, while also reminding that confidence grows with repeated action and doing esteemable acts.
One Woman's Ick is Another Woman's Husband with Jared Freid
Q: How should someone approach starting conversations in public when dating, according to the guest?
Keep it simple and genuine, start with a light compliment like noticing their shoes or the moment's context, and avoid over-the-top lines; be prepared for rejection but aim to be kind and respectful.
NASA Girl Summer
Q: What are your thoughts on the role of faith or spirituality in a field driven by precise science?
Naia explains that faith and science can coexist; the vastness of space strengthens her sense of a higher power and reinforces humility before the universe, rather than conflict between belief and scientific inquiry.
