Written By Xander Jake | XJ

In our very first episode, we dive headfirst into the chaotic cocktail of drama, trauma, and why the two love to hang out together. From family wounds to friendship blowups, we unpack how trauma shows up in everyday life, and why calling it out is the first step to healing.

Jake shares his unfiltered take on generational patterns (with just the right amount of sass), and Jennifer gets real about what it means to feel safe in your body when the world hasn’t always been kind.

We’re setting the tone: raw conversations, hard truths, awkward laughs, and a lot of “wait… same!” moments.

If you’ve ever cried in your car and called it therapy, this one’s for you.

P.S. We’re not medical or mental health professionals. Everything we share on this podcast is based on our own personal experiences and opinions. If you’re dealing with any mental health concerns, we always recommend speaking to a qualified professional.

I live at the intersection of technology, team dynamics, and making work (and life) smarter. Whether it’s optimizing workflows, testing the latest gadgets, or figuring out the perfect balance between automation and human connection, I’m always exploring ways to make things more efficient, engaging, and future-proof.

If it plugs in, powers on, or needs a strategy behind it, I’m probably already two steps ahead by breaking it down, testing its limits, and finding ways to make it work better.
