Minisode 1: Gym Bros VS. Therapy Chats

Minisode: Gym Bros VS. Therapy Chats
Because sometimes the only reps we’re getting in are emotional.

In our very first Apocalypse & Avocados minisode, Carissa dives headfirst into the barbell-laden battleground between mental health and physical fitness. Joined by Peter and Shaun (aka the chaotic support group you didn’t ask for), the trio unpacks big questions like: Is therapy leg day for your brain? Can protein shakes cure anxiety? And why does sugar taste like safety?

We’re serving up hot takes on alcohol, mocktails, emotional eating, and why sodium might be your frenemy. It’s a no-holds-barred chat about why your wellness routine might be one green juice away from a breakdown—or a breakthrough.

Highlights include:

  • Trying to work out without crying (or while crying, no judgment)
  • Replacing tequila with therapy and hoping for the best
  • Emotional support mocktails
  • Dragging sugar like it ghosted us
  • Wondering if sodium is secretly gaslighting us

🎧 Press play for wellness wisdom, a few unhinged rants, and the validation you didn’t know you needed. Bonus points if you listen while on a treadmill... or in bed with chips. We don’t judge.
