Listen "It's Hard to Be An Empath"

Episode Synopsis

Stacy and Daynah immediately spiral into a conversation that only lifelong best friends (and overthinkers) could have and take listeners on a ride through health, humor, and high-level existential dread.

Their chat about The Long Walk turns into a surprisingly hilarious exploration of why empaths maybe shouldn’t watch dystopian movies without emotional support snacks, how masculinity could use a software update, and why community matters even when humanity is… a lot. Sprinkle in black-hole anxiety, faith detours, wealth cringe, and The Woman in Cabin 10, and you’ve got a classic convo: big feelings, big laughs, and big “wait, how did we get here?” energy.
