Let’s be real—society's push that we need to be resilient 24/7 is overrated. It's also unsustainable. In this week’s episode, we’re talking about what happens when you're tired of being the strong one. The dependable one. The "wow, you’re so inspiring" one. Spoiler alert: it’s exhausting.This episode is a love letter to the chronically ill humans who’ve mastered the art of smiling through chaos—but secretly want to scream. We're di...

So, last week we tackled the fear of being abandoned. This week? Plot twist: sometimes we’re the ones doing the leaving. Emotionally, at least. Welcome to Episode 8 of I’d Like to Unsubscribe and Part 2 of our Sick Love Series—where we lovingly call ourselves out for the emotional backflips we do to avoid intimacy while sick.

Chronic illness can jack up your self-worth, mess with your nervous system, and make you question if you’re ...

Let’s get real: nothing tests the vows of “in sickness and in health” like actually getting sick.

This episode dives deep into the gnarly, unspoken anxiety of abandonment when illness crashes the relationship party. Spoiler: you’re ...

This week on I’d Like to Unsubscribe, Britt and Marisa are ripping up the imaginary contract that says we must be perfect at everything—caregivers, youth icons, chefs, employees, runway-ready models—and somehow do it all while managing a chronic illness. Spoiler alert: It’s a scam.

Join us as we take a nosedive into the dumpster fire of unrealistic expectations—the kind that leave you feeling guilty for resting, burned out from doin...

Alright, be honest—have you ever spiraled into the existential crisis of Am I too much? Are you oversharing? Over-feeling? Over-existing? Well, guess what? It’s not you. It’s them. (Okay, maybe not always, but like…a lot of the time.)

In this episode of I’d Like to Unsubscribe, Britt and Marisa are hitting “unsubscribe” on the guilt trip that tells us to shrink ourselves to make other people comfortable. We’re diving into why we fee...

Chronic illness can feel like being stuck in a toxic relationship—with surprise flare-ups, random pain, and doctors telling us our body is literally fighting against us. It’s no wonder we start thinking of our bodies as the enemy. But what if that narrative is all wrong? What if your body isn’t at war with you, but is actually trying its hardest to keep up and survive?

In this episode, we’re flipping the script on the “my body hates...

Alright, friends, let’s have an honesty moment. Have you ever tried to not deal with your emotions? Like, just shove them into a mental junk drawer and hope they disappear? Yeah, same. Turns out, that’s not how feelings work. Who knew?Last week, we covered the fine art of being mad, sad, and frustrated about our pain—because, newsflash, you have to feel it before you heal it.

Grief—it’s the unwanted guest that shows up, wrecks your plans, and refuses to leave, no matter how hard you try to ignore it. In this episode, we’re diving into the messy, complicated ways grief shows up in chronic illness, identity loss, and life’s unexpected detours (because, surprise, it doesn’t just stick to the “big” stuff). We’ll talk about why you absolutely have permission to grieve, why it never moves in a straight line, ...
