So You Want to be THAT Girl

Ever wonder why you feel compelled to follow the crowd, even when you kind of… don’t want to? Do you ever see a new trend and feel frustrated at how quick they just show up, one after another? I’m right there with you - why do we follow trends, and how did they get to be so prominent and persuasive? Tune in to today’s episode, where we look at the psychological and biological reasoning behind why we partake in trends, and the history as to how trends we know and love/hate came to be!

WE'RE BACK!!! Tune in for the podcast's trailer - just catching up!! Expect a real episode at the end of June!
Follow us on Instagram ⁠⁠@SoYouWanttobeTHATGirl⁠ ⁠for updates!
... And here's the Dog Encyclopedia I was talking about. BTW IT'S A MALAMUTE ON THE COVER, NOT A HUSKY! Sorry, the cover ripped off when I was a kid so I couldn't remember off the top of mi head lol: ⁠"The Complete Encyclopedia of Dogs" by Esther J.J. Verhoef-Verhallen⁠
And I'd like to apologize for my overuse of "whatever" and "but yeah". I'm WORKING ON IT! Love you lots :)

I know, this isn't the episode topic you were hoping for. But, it's one that we had to get to eventually!
In today's episode, we are... archiving this podcast. I know, it's so sudden! But, tune in to understand why. Don't be sad, be happy, because the reason for this end is to start new projects and new chapters for both of us -- you and me. There are about 850,000 current active podcasts on the market at the moment, and I know at least one of them will be as helpful and fun, if not more. I am so proud of what we've accomplished together, thank you for everything. Until next time my besties. I can't wait to hear how you change the world. 
Kindly, 
Shahdin

We get it... Life is hard. Life is... brutal. Antagonistic. Uncertain. Scary. Lonely. But, then there are times where life is absolutely wonderful! However, sometimes we get stuck in such difficult periods of life that we forget how warm the sun can be once the rain clouds part. If you have ever felt like, or currently feel like you're starting to forget how magnificent the sun can shine, grab a cup of coffee or tea with a cookie and tune in for some advice on how to enjoy life regardless of the weather, and how to remain hopeful that the sun will shine again.

Also, sorry if the episode is chaotic. We're doing a raw and unfiltered episode today guys, hope you enjoy! Love you :)

Ah yes, February 14th. The day of love.. The day of roses.. The day of celebrating romance..... The day of hating being single... NO. No. Take that last part back. In light of Valentine’s Day coming up, you and I are going to have a sit down. Valentine’s Day is more than romantic relationships, it’s a day to love your friends, your family, but yes, your partner if you have one. Yet the most important? Loving yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, even sexually... Tune in to talk about the history, the good and the bad of this commercialized holiday, and how you can make the most of it whether you’re alone or in company.

PS: This episode does contain some more mature themes so if you’re younger than 18, be wary >:(
