  • Synchrony: Can an App Help Neurodivergent Adults Find a Social Connection?
    2026/01/23
    What happens when autistic and neurodivergent adults lose built-in social supports but still need connection? In this episode, Stacy talks with Jamie Pastranao and Brittany Moser, co-founders of the app synchrony, about loneliness, rejection sensitivity, and why community, not dating, is the missing piece for neurodivergent adults. Inspired by Love on the Spectrum, they explore how repeated rejection reshapes confidence, what research shows about neurodivergent connection, and whether technology can help rebuild trust and belonging. A thoughtful conversation about adulthood, identity, and why everyone deserves a place to belong. 00:09 | Why community matters for neurodivergent adults 02:28 | Aging out of supports and the adult autism gap 04:54 | From parenting questions to building Synchrony 06:54 | Love on the Spectrum and visible belonging 10:00 | Rejection sensitivity and fear of social risk 16:52 | “The risk isn’t worth the reward” 20:00 | Friendship-first design, common interests, and safety 29:20 | Community, health, and redefining success Find Synchrony: joinsynchrony.com instagram.com/joinsynchrony tiktok.com/@synchrony33 facebook.com/joinsynchrony Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠missionalchemists.com⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Is Pluribus a Utopia or a Nightmare? A Deep Dive
    2026/01/22
    Is Pluribus a vision of collective bliss or a deeply unsettling loss of humanity? In this bonus conversation, besties Stacy and Daynah dive into their curiously different interpretations of Pluribus, a provocative sci-fi series that asks what happens when individuality disappears and happiness becomes mandatory. Through a feminist and cultural lens, they explore hive minds, consent, toxic positivity, female rage, AI parallels, and whether connection without choice can ever be ethical. SPOILER ALERT! If you haven’t watched Pluribus yet and want to go in unspoiled, come back after you’ve seen it. 00:00 | Spoiler warning & premise 07:45 | Utopia vs nightmare 18:30 | Toxic positivity & happiness as control 29:10 | Female rage and societal backlash 41:00 | AI, art, and individuality 52:20 | Final takeaways Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠missionalchemists.com⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Why Sinners Isn't Just a Vampire Movie
    2026/01/21
    Besties Stacy and Daynah sat down to talk about Sinners and, unsurprisingly, talked about a lot more than that. Not only do you get a bonus show on the feed, but you even get a rare personal update from Daynah. So yes, Sinners is a vampire movie. Yes, it’s technically horror. But it is also a sharp cultural critique about race, identity, ancestry, and the stories America keeps telling itself. We dig into why this film feels different, how modern horror has evolved into a space for serious storytelling, and what makes Sinners resonate beyond the genre. 00:00 | Why Sinners isn’t just a horror movie 08:10 | When genre becomes cultural commentary 16:05 | Race, identity, and who stories are for 24:30 | Daynah’s dating update (feminism as a litmus test) 29:50 | Art, ritual, and why this film lingers 38:15 | Why modern horror feels different now Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠missionalchemists.com⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Is Burnout a Nervous System Problem? w/ Dr. Amir Vokshoor
    2026/01/16
    Despite what you may think (or what you've been told), burnout isn’t a mindset issue—it’s a nervous system response. Stacy talks with Dr. Amir Vokshoor, a board-certified neurosurgeon about how chronic stress reshapes the brain and body, why so many people are stuck in fight-or-flight, and how burnout, chronic pain, and trauma are biologically connected. We explore what modern life does to the nervous system and why healing requires more than willpower. If your body feels exhausted, overwhelmed, or unable to recover, this episode reframes burnout as a biological signal, not a personal failure. 00:00 | Is burnout a nervous system problem? 07:20 | Chronic stress and nervous system overload 14:50 | Pain, trauma, and energy depletion 22:30 | Recovery, regulation, and breath 30:40 | Prevention and brain-spine health Find Dr. Vokshoor: drvokshoor.com neurovella.com iamfoundation.org instagram.com/drvokshoor Use code STACY for a discount on neurosurgical consultation with Dr. Vokshoor!Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠missionalchemists.com⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Why We’re Obsessed With Uncomfortable Stories
    2026/01/10
    Be prepared for a little bit of everything in this bonus conversation as Stacy and Daynah cover a lot of cultural ground—from unsettling films and prestige TV to aging, beauty standards, and what women’s bodies are expected to look like in public. It’s messy, curious, occasionally unhinged, exactly the kind of media conversation we need right now. 00:00 | Body horror, discomfort, and unsettling cinema 06:00 | Yorgos Lanthimos and why we’re drawn to unease 12:00 | Pluribus, AI, and moral gray zones 20:00 | Aging, Botox, and frozen-face culture 28:00 | Radical self-acceptance and beauty standards 38:00 | Health, weight, GLP-1s, and cultural judgment 46:00 | All’s Fair, luxury porn, and power backlash Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠missionalchemists.com⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • The Ugly Truths of 1981’s Clash of the Titans
    2026/01/09
    To kick off the new year, besties Stacy and Daynah revisit Clash of the Titans — not as nostalgia, but as a cultural artifact. From Medusa’s distorted origin story to the unchecked entitlement of male heroes, we unpack how victim-blaming, punishment, and “boys will be boys” logic are baked into Greek mythology. What starts as a fun rewatch quickly becomes a reckoning with who gets punished, who gets excused, and why these stories still shape how we understand power today. If you’ve ever loved a movie and later realized it aged… poorly, this one’s for you. 00:00 | Welcome & framing the rewatch 06:00 | Nostalgia vs. reality 12:00 | Medusa and victim-blaming myths 19:00 | Perseus, privilege, and hero entitlement 26:00 | Monstrosity, beauty, and punishment 33:00 | 1980s ratings, nudity, and blind spots 38:00 | Greek mythology as soap opera 42:00 | Why revisiting old stories matters Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠missionalchemists.com⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Why is The Pitt So Good?
    2025/12/26
    Happy Holidays! It’s the “lost week” (and the last week) of the year and besties Stacy and Daynah finally share their thoughts on The Pitt. Spoiler alert: They agree with most of the internet – it’s good and feels so different from every other medical drama on TV. From grief, burnout, and moral injury to power, bias, and what good care actually looks like, they explore how the show captures the emotional and systemic realities of healthcare without turning them into spectacle. Along the way, they talk Noah Wyle’s perfectly calibrated performance, the weight of COVID-era trauma, why certain storylines hit uncomfortably close to home, and how The Pitt manages to be both devastating and deeply human. 00:00 | Opening + why The Pitt works 08:00 | Casting, Noah Wyle, and credibility 16:30 | COVID trauma and moral injury 25:00 | Burnout, systems, and impossible choices 33:45 | Bias, belief, and who gets care 42:15 | Violence, vulnerability, and the ER 50:30 | What good care actually means 56:30 | Final thoughts + why it lingers Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠missionalchemists.com⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
