I almost didn't release this episode because I was worried it was too negative. But then I realized some of you give wayyyy too many fucks about things that don’t matter, and I can't just sit back and let that happen.

So here we are — 31 things I've officially stopped caring about now that I'm 31. Some of these I learned this year. Some I've never cared about. And honestly, it was hard to narrow it down to just 31 because there are SO many things I don't give a shit about that I forgot half of them exist. If you're an overthinker, a people-pleaser, or someone who just cares a little too much about things that don't deserve your energy, I recorded this episode just for you.

TOPICS & TANGENTS

— Thongs (nothing is going in my ass crack, thanks)

— Who unsubscribes from my email list or unfollows me

— Having a personal Instagram

— The opinion of anyone whose life I don't want or views I don't respe

— Legal marriage (health insurance and tax benefits aside, what's the point?)

— You’re gonna have to listen for the other 26!

POINT OF THE STORY

You live one life. One little baby life on this floating rock. If something doesn't deserve your energy, stop giving it any.

The things you stop caring about make room for the things that actually matter — and trust me, your peace is worth protecting.
