In this solo Lisa’s Take episode of Brother Sister Whatever, I talk honestly about how busyness became my identity, why it was rewarded, and how it slowly disconnected me from myself.

This isn’t about laziness or doing less for the sake of it.
It’s about noticing when “busy” becomes avoidance, protection, or a way to not sit with what we actually need.

We get into:

• Why being busy is praised (especially for women)

• How productivity can turn into emotional armor

• The fear that shows up when everything finally gets quiet

• Why rest feels uncomfortable instead of restorative

• What I’m trying to unlearn now — in real time

If you’ve ever felt guilty for slowing down…
Or wondered who you’d be without the constant doing…
This one’s for you.

Can men and women really be just friends — or does it always get complicated eventually?

In this episode of Brother Sister Whatever, Lisa and Josh get into the uncomfortable gray areas of opposite-sex friendships, emotional boundaries, and why “it’s totally platonic” doesn’t always mean what we think it does.

We talk about:

• When friendship crosses into emotional territory

• Whether attraction always changes the dynamic

• How boundaries shift in midlife, marriage, and long-term relationships

• What honesty actually looks like — and when it causes more problems

• The difference between friendship, flirtation, and emotional cheating

No extreme takes. No fake certainty.
Just real sibling debate about something everyone has an opinion on.

We’re doing everything we were told to do — working hard, budgeting, trying to be “responsible”… and somehow still asking, where did all the money go?

In this episode of Brother Sister Whatever, Lisa and Josh talk honestly about modern money stress, rising costs, and why adult life feels so financially exhausting right now.

We get into:

• Why everyday expenses feel overwhelming

• The gap between what our parents had and what we’re dealing with

• Emotional spending vs survival spending

• Why “just budget better” misses the point

• And how money stress affects our mental health more than we admit

No financial advice. No hustle culture nonsense.
Just real talk about empty pockets, long receipts, and trying to make it all make sense.
