Mia is deep in a nostalgia hole this week after bingeing the JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy series, Love Story. It turns out, seeing a world without DMs, TikTok trends, or the urge to live-stream your breakfast has her ready to trade her smartphone for a flip phone and some chic minimalism. Are we actually 'connected' or just... exhausted?

In this episode:

• The 'Always On' Burnout: Mia gets real about the specific brand of fatigue that comes from being reachable 24/7. When did 'relaxing' become just another word for 'scrolling in a different room'?

• The Content Trap: Why are we obsessed with turning every family moment into a production for the group chat? Mia asks if it’s possible to just exist — without looking for the best lighting.
  
  Mia's Reccos
• The retro chocolate bar making a comeback in Mia’s pantry.
• The sports bra finally doing the literal heavy lifting.
• The memoir sparking a heated debate: is supporting your partner’s career a romantic gesture or a professional death wish?
