Hey friends. And welcome back to I’d Like to Unsubscribe — the podcast where we lovingly roast our own coping mechanisms and admit that sometimes… we are not a delight.

Today’s episode is I’d Like to Unsubscribe from My Negativity. Because let’s be honest: when you live with chronic illness, trauma, or long-term stress, negativity isn’t a personality flaw — it’s often a survival skill that overstayed its welcome.

You might feel during or post-holiday season that everything is cranked up. Grief. Expectations. Old wounds. The life you thought you’d be living by now. And suddenly you’re not just tired — you’re spiraling, snappy, cynical, and wondering when you became this person. (Answer: you didn’t. Your nervous system did.)

In this episode, we break down why negativity shows up in the first place — and spoiler alert, it’s not because you’re ungrateful or spiritually failing. We talk science: cortisol, trauma, chronic inflammation, and how your brain literally gets stuck in threat mode. We talk psychology: how negativity becomes protection. And yes, we talk faith — because Jesus has a lot to say about weariness, despair, and hope that doesn’t come from pretending everything’s fine.

This is not a “just think positive” episode. Hard pass. This is a real conversation about how negativity forms, why it feels so hard to shake, and how to gently — compassionately — find your way back to hope without shaming yourself into it.

If you’ve been stuck in your own head lately… if you don’t recognize the version of yourself that shows up exhausted and pessimistic… you’re not broken. You’re human. And you’re not alone.

Let’s unsubscribe from the spiral — together. ✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com
