  • “Choose curiosity over fear.” | Elizabeth Gilbert
    2026/03/24

    Curiosity killed the cat? Maybe. But the real question is: who decided curiosity needed a morality clause in the first place?

    In this episode of Trash Talk, Erica Breuer and Erin Thomas take the mantra “Choose curiosity over fear” for a spin. Popularized by Elizabeth Gilbert, examining how borrowed wisdom and parasocial admiration sneaks into our identity-building. There is a fine line between inspiration and parroting wisdom it for social credit

    Can a line ever truly become yours?

  • “The Divine Feminine” / Deepak Chopra
    2026/03/17

    The Divine Feminine: nurturing, abundant, inspiring… and apparently complicated IF your guru is Deepak Chopra. Erica Breuer and Erin Thomas dig into why “activating your feminine energy” suddenly feels way less mystical when the messenger shows up in Epstein files.

    Does the Divine Feminine empower? Or is it a trap?
