Episode Description

Hey Lifers!

It’s finally Laura’s 40th birthday (month) and she’s feeling an unexpected way about it; despite what other people in the content world might think!
We speak about the feeling of knowing yourself fully and peace that comes as we get a bit older.

Can you still have photos of your ex in your phone? Does it depend on what ‘kind’ of photos they are? We unpack a situation that unfolded on MAFS and why we feel weird deleting photos from the past.

Plus we chat about the terrifying trend being sold to young men - looksmaxxing There’s this streamer called Clavicular who has blown up online in the past year. On the surface, looksmaxxing sounds like skincare, grooming, self-improvement but this is not just gym bro content, darker.
Is this just the male version of long-standing beauty pressure on women?  Or is it a pipeline into something black pill culture?  Are we normalising surgical self-editing as self-care?
