I Mean...IDK

Do you ever wonder why you get anxious when you don't hear from someone? Or maybe a friend or guy you're seeing tends to run away when things get real? Well, there's an answer to that and it lies in Attachment theory. Today, we discuss and dig into Attachment styles/theory, and how they impact relationships and how we function as people. Now, we have to think friend of the pod Urooj for inspiring us with today's topic and of course had to have her join us to talk all about this. We look at what styles we are, have we evolved, why and how attachment styles form and much more. It's a fascinating topic that can really provide so much insight into how we function in relationships. So get your notebook and put on your best smart girl outfit, cause we are going to learn a thing or two today. https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

It's Episode 52, gang! Which means that technically we have done a FULL year of the world's best podcast! And to celebrate, we bring you an episode that we think is classy Sana and Jackie - a good old fashioned dating debate! Yes, today we breakdown the commonly heard phrase, “If he wanted to, he would.” Now, we know that EVERY single gal out there is very familiar with this statement. And it gets tossed around a lot. So, we decided to break it down and really deep dive into where we think this statement holds true and where it doesn't. We don't want to spoil anything for you, cause this is a good one, so buckle up buttercups and get ready for a (dating) rumble!   https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

 Happy New Year and we are back, babes! Yes, yes, we know you're asking “where the hell have we been!?” And that's fair. But you know, sometimes absence makes the heart grow fonder. J/k! We have just been busy, okay! But let's focus on the fact that it's a new year ( Hello 2024!) and we are bringing yet another great episode to the table. Today, we are giving you the highlight reel and all the life updates since we last chatted. We have some dating updates, life updates, and of course we gotta tell you all about the season finale of 2023 (it's a good one, besties!). And since we are in the New Year, we talk about things we are both leaving behind in 2023 - attitudes, actions, people……you know, whatever is just not fitting in the suitcase that is 2024. We are happy to be back! So sit down and let's have a chat and giggle! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

It's the big 5-0 for us here at I Mean…IDK, and we are so excited to have made it this far. Tbh, we were REALLY hoping to have a new and exciting guest, but you know, things happen and the universe just said, “hey, wasn't meant to be.” BUT, don't think for a second that we let that stop us from bringing you babes a great episode filled with the usual laughs, discussions, updates and much more. Today, we decided to go into that viral list that's been making the rounds of Where NOT to go on a first date. Now, this list is controversial and has caused SO many discussions, so of course you know we had to give our thoughts and opinions. We break down the list one by one and also give some first date do's and dont's that we firmly believe in. As always, it's a classic I Mean…IDK episode that's a DO NOT miss! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

One more episode until your favorite podcast hits the big 5-0, besties and we are so excited! But don't think we are slouching on the episodes, cause we have a great one for you today. We are joined by our number #1 fan and beloved friend, Anna Carter. You all know how Sana and I feel about getting married young, so we asked Anna to come share her experience and thoughts on her young marriage, the expectations, the challenges, and would she recommend it. She also shares her advice for those who have made the decision to marry young and some of her memories from those first couple of years of marriage. We absolutely loved having her and we know you'll love listening! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

Ah, look who's waltzing back into your lives, besties! Did you feel the void in your hearts? Because we were definitely feeling it without you! We've returned after a brief hiatus to spill the beans on what's been happening in the world of your two favorite brown girls. Get ready for a juicy chat about life updates, love lives, and why Sana might just be having some 'heavenly' beef. And trust us, if ever there was an episode screaming for a colossal margarita and a platter of chips and salsa, this is the one! So, grab your cocktail, wine, or giant ass Stanley cup, babes, because we're about to deliver one great episode! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

How do you know a connection is genuine? Or if it will translate from the app to in person? We wish there was a way to know for sure, but on todays episode, we try to give you some advice to help you along. Today, we discuss connection when dating and all the fun little anxieties that come with it. From long distance and worrying about the in person situation, to figuring out if you had a great date or if YOU are just a great dater. We also get a little update into Sanas love life (you know you don't want to miss that!), icks we have with men, and why we both might just end up living in Loma Linda, CA in the long run. It's a bit chaotic and a tad messy, but it's a great episode you should definitely make some time for. Buckle up, babes! We are going for a ride! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

I think we can all agree that the worst kind of love is unrequited love. And as much as we all hate to admit it, we have all been there. And if we are really going to be honest with ourselves, we have all had a really hard time accepting it too. And that's what todays episode is all about. Learning to accept when “he's just not that into you,” and more importantly how to heal, accept and move forward. We share some personal experiences and how we have both found ourselves in situations where not only was someone just not that into us (I know, hard to believe), we continued to fight with one more text or one more call. Listen besties, it ain't fun when you find yourselves in a situation like this, but that's why we are here. Listen in and get ready for some hard truths and free therapy! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

Today we have another guest and man oh man, it's a special one. On todays episode we welcome the gal that literally brought your two favorite brown girls together, Jennifer Lozano. We have been friends with Jen for the past 10 years and she has never ceased to amaze us with her life stories and unconventional way of living. She tells us about her adolescence and being on her own since she was 18, her decision to not get married after a 19 year relationship, and experiencing motherhood later in life. In this day and age, we understand that there are many different ways to live your life, and Jennifer definitely shows us that unconventional doesn't mean unsuccessful. We love this episode so much and hope you do too, babes! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

On todays episode gang, you are in for a treat. Well, we think you are. We decide to change it up this time around and deep dive into the arena of relationship advice. We took to Reddit and found some pretty wild stuff, but also some relationship situations that we think are pretty common, but also complicated. From having opposite gender friends, to insecure partners, to the classic bait and switch, we cover some pretty extensive ground today. And we aren't saying we are the best advice givers, but we are also not NOT saying that either. But we will let you be judge of that. Enjoy the episode babes! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

Something you should know about us is that we love a good viral celebrity story. Enter Jonah Hill, his ex Sandy Brady, and the leaked text messages that are all over social media. Todays episode was inspired by this viral story of Sandy leaking some texts exchanged between her and Jonah. And even more inspired by Jonah's use of the therapy speak term “boundaries.” Now, we aren't gonna get into too much detail about their mishegoss, but these texts inspired therapists and relationship coaches all over to define what a boundary actually is vs what it isn't (see controlling someone's behavior). And that's exactly what we dig into. What is a boundary? What does it look like in a relationship? And how have we struggled with this over used term. We get into the difference between boundary vs controlling, how our mouths get us into trouble (not in that way!), and what we have learned from our past mistakes and experiences. It's definitely worth a listen, besties! It's the one time celebrity gossip will actually result in something worthwhile. https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

Hey hey besties! Today we have friend of the pod Urooj jump into hot tub with us to talk about a real pressing matter facing us today - NY men vs LA men. Okay, yes we know it's not a real pressing issue, but we have a fun episode today talking about the difference between the two coasts, the way men function, a loss of masculinity, and so much more! We also take a look at standards vs expectations and how not knowing the difference may be sabotaging your love life. It's another cornucopia of giggles, advice, and fun you don't want to miss! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

Did you miss us!? Of course you did! We are back gang with a new (but not improved) episode. Today we have a proper catch up and talk about ALL the things. From where to party in the south of France, why we are all going to hell over some memes, to the Taxi Cab theory…..we are all over the place. But like a good sit down with your besties, catching up over some margs and chips and salsa, this episode is a good time. So make some time to listen to your favorite brown girls as we discuss what we've been up to for the past couple of weeks! You'll only regret it a little bit! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

You know this wasn't going to be just one episode! We have a part two for you, besties! We dig into more of Gen Z and Nadeem's perspective on dating, millennials and so much more. So listen up and get ready for the, as the kids say, Gen Z “tea. https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

While we have GenZ to thank for a lot of things such as making TikTok popular, reminding us that skinny jeans are out, and fun new slang terms, we have to admit that there are still a number of things that confuse us about this new generation. Enter special guest, friend of the pod, and a GenZ-er, Nadeem Yamak! On todays episode, we have Nadeem give us the scoop on ALL things GenZ. From what his favorite thing is about his generation to dating as a GenZ-er to why you should be answering those Sugar Daddy DMs and all things in between. It's a fun and fantastic conversation that deserves not one, but two parts! So get ready to take some notes because you are definitely going to learn a thing or two   https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

As two 30 something single girls, there are definitely times where we wish we knew our future. And today's episode is all about the question of what if you did? If you knew that your future as a single person did not include marriage at all, would you act think or operate differently? This is a question that came from a recently stumbled upon TikTok video, and we thought it was a doozy. We know we would all love to say that we wouldn't be operating differently, but we all know that in some way, it's a damn lie. We discuss this very intriguing question and have a very candid conversation about how we would operate differently in our own lives. We also touch on looking at marriage as part of the journey vs the goal, how wanting to find a partner really does impact different areas of our lives, and getting married young; yes or no. It's an episode that takes a lot of twist and turns, but we encourage you to sit back and enjoy the journey, pals. And of course, let us know your thoughts! If you knew your future, would it change your present? https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

Raise your hand if you have ever been personally victimized by someone else's happiness? Okay, we are being dramatic, but sometimes it can definitely feel that way. Todays episode is all about how to not compare and “hate” while on your journey. We love this topic because while we are in our single girl journey, we know comparison happens at every stage in life. And of course we all know we shouldn't compare, but it's something that our hearts have a hard time understanding. So rather than just tell you why comparison never works, we discuss some practical ways of how not to compare and choose to enjoy the journey you are on even if it's not where you thought you might be in life. And believe us, it's definitely not easy to stop the eye rolling every time you see another engagement, wedding, promotion, baby, etc but we are committed to doing better and hope you are too, besties! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

We are all about celebrating strong individuals on our podcast and we think we can all agree that one of the strongest types of people are single moms. In honor of Mother's Day, we are joined by Jackie's sister, Carissa Orozco. A single mom who is kicking ass and taking names! Carissa opens up about her journey as a single mom, the strength it takes, and the ups and downs of single parenthood. She also shares some tips for supporting your single mom friends, and some solid pieces of advice for all the women finding themselves on that single mom struggle bus. And because we are us, there's also some dating advice sprinkled in there as well! It's a great episode that celebrates and highlights what it is to be a single mom in todays world. Give it a listen and be sure to let us know your thoughts, babes! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

Hello besties! And welcome to the first episode with a GUEST HOST! Jackie is out of town, so we asked friend of the pod, Fatema - food blogger extraordinaire to join sana on this week's episode! She lets us in on all the secrets of being a blogger/influencer. We talk about how she got started, the bad and the good of being a food blogger, and how no matter what you're posting on the internet, haters will always find something to criticize. Fatema also shared her hopes for the future of her influencer life, and the energy and time it really takes to make it happen. We love the behind scenes look she gives, and best of all - she shares her “Best Of” recommendations. It's a great episode that you and your little tum tum don't want to miss! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

Why is it that men like to point the finger at women for all their relationship problems? Todays episode was inspired but just that - a man who left an ESSAY of a comment on our YouTube channel describing why women can't find a man. And besties, when we say essay, we mean a damn essay! While we appreciate the time and energy poured into the comment, we have some bones to pick with it. We break it down, discuss it's various points, and what we agree and don't agree with. We discuss the theme of “fairytale indoctrination,” marketing a fantasy, and why we all need to stop pointing the finger and start looking inward. It's an interesting comment that made for an interesting episode. To read the original comment, head to our last episode on our YouTube page. We would love to hear what you think of the comment, babes! Just be sure to set aside half your day to read it lol. https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

On todays episode we discuss dating apps and whether or not high value men can be found on them. It seems that apps are the social norm now, but are they really effective? We debate whether or not apps are a lost cause and what would happen if we made people start paying again. Sana also gives her take on her recent stint on the apps and what her experience was like after being off the streets for so long. We also discuss our worst dating app experiences and the lessons we've learned. We would love to hear your thoughts too, babes! Best experiences? Worst experiences? Let it all out! It's what we are here for!  https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

Welcome back, babes! We are back in studio bringing you another amazing episode this week that's a listener requested topic - the post break-up journey. Today, we deep dive into Sanas breakup, her healing journey, the dating scene, and so much more. We also take a look at that age old question - can/should you be friends with your ex. Sana takes time to open up about her lessons learned from this past year of being newly single, and shares some tips and lessons on how she navigated through it. It really is a great episode that we think so many of you can relate to. And of course, if you have a topic you would love to hear us discuss, email us, slide into the dms, send a carrier pigeon….whatever! We love to hear from you! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

We are back besties with another episode of Pursuing your Passion! We are joined by Sapna Tandel, owner of Crafts by Saap. She walks us through her journey of how she started and inspiration behind her creativity, to taking her hobby and side hustle to full fledged career. She speaks about her decision to quit her 9 to 5, the steps she took to prepare, and the goals she is fearlessly pursuing. And because we are therapy babes through and through, we discuss the journey of facing our internalized insecurities that show up in our career choices, and how they can *possibly* hold us back. It's another great episode supporting passion, vulnerability, growth, small businesses, and of course, another fellow brown girl. Get ready to be inspired to pursue your passion!

We have a reached a milestone besties! Your favorite podcast has reached 30 episodes! And like a true millennial, there's no better way to celebrate than to talk about other people's drama and problems. Today we discuss our fave reality show Love is Blind. We get into the 5 couples that made it out of the pods and all the chaos that had ensued thus far. We also breakdown some issues on the show that are definitely seen in real life, like choosing the drama girl over the wifey material, the TWO mean girl villains who keep playing young girl games, and of course our predictions of who will actually say “I do.” It's definitely a fun one that you don't want to miss! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

Have you ever been incredibly hurt when ghosted? Seem to always “attract” unavailable men? Or maybe you know you deserve more but just can't seem to choose it for yourself? Well then this episode is for you, you! Today we discuss Jackie's therapy journey thus far and the way trauma from our childhood/adolescence can show up in our dating choices as adults. We talk about validation, worth, self love/respect and how when these are missing in our lives, they can really do a number on us and our romantic choices. We also touch on how instead of running straight back to the apps after a breakup, maybe you should take a beat and do some inward reflection. It's 2023, and while there are a lot of things wrong in the world, the one thing that's going right is the acceptance of therapy, mental wellness, and healing. So grab some tissues, wine and whatever other emotional support object you need and get ready to hear some hard truths. Cause it's time to go from sad bitch to thriving bitch, besties! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

We know one of our clips from last weeks episode REALLY pressed the internet basement gang, so we thought we'd have some spicy conversation this week and keep it going! On todays episode we welcome friends of the Pod Joey and Edison, as we have another round table discussion with some male viewpoints of dating, relationships, and all things in between. We get some married guy and single guy thoughts on boundaries in relationships, do men really love the chase, and what is the different between a nice guy and a gentleman. It's another fantastic episode with some fun and thought provoking topics. So ladies, if you're looking for some male perspective, grab some wine and tune in! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

It's a New day and a new Episode besties! And we decided to change some things up. On todays episode we have a couple of different, but fun things we are trying out. First up is our rebranded pop culture segment called “explain it to a millennial.” We know there is a ton of gen z drama all over your social media feeds, but you have no idea what's going on. That's where we come in! Here to explain the stupidity so you don't feel lost. We also have an episode filled with hot topics! Clips and vids from all over the internet make their way to the pod where we discuss, debate, and decide who is right when it comes to these juicy topics. It's a new type of episode that we think you'll love! So tune in and let us know what you think!    https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

What's wrong with dating today? Let us count the ways. But to be honest, we think we might have boiled it down to one problem - ego. On todays episode we discuss dating with your ego and all the ways that can look. From believing that medium ugly man had no business rejecting you to telling yourself you'll never fall in love. The ways ego is showing up is WILD, babes! We also discuss confidence vs ego, and some signs to help you tell the difference. We think this is a topic that hasn't been discussed enough, and can't wait to hear what you all think! https://www.loveinsight-dating.com/blog/is-your-ego-in-charge-of-your-dating-life https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast    

Have you ever had a passion or dream you wanted to pursue but we're too scared? You are definitely not the only one! Todays episode is all about pursuing your passion. We welcome model, actress, and friend of the pod Chani Jindal, who is here to speak about her journey of breaking into the modeling/acting world and pursuing her dreams. She shares her early beginning experiences, what it's like as a short, brown girl navigating the LA modeling scene, and how she deals with all the rejection one faces in her industry. It's definitely a scary thing to pursue something that may not go anywhere, but like a medium ugly man on a dating app, you have to have the confidence and audacity to go after what you want! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

If your social media feed looks anything like ours, you probably have been seeing so many clips about feminine energy. While it may seem like another piece of bullshit dating advice for women, we decided to break it down and discuss why it's actually a very important concept. It can be the reason why you continue to choose the wrong man, give the wrong man too much, and what's keeping you from having that trophy wife life you really want! (Jk……but like..also not). We also talk about masculine energy and share a rather interesting perspective we should all be using when scrolling through the dating apps. It's a game changing episode that you don't want to miss! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

  This month we are focused on love, but not in the way you are probably thinking. We are taking a different approach cause who the hell needs more lovey dovey bullshit in their lives? Not us.(We aren't bitter at all. Not one bit.) On todays episode, we focus on the self love journey after experiencing hurt. While love can offer some amazing feelings, we all know that sometimes hurt and pain can be attached as well. We welcome friend of the pod Christine who graciously opened up to us about her experience through divorce and how she truly learned to forgive, heal, and find true love after some very painful experiences. After all, the most important relationship is the one we have with ourselves. And we think that deserves to be celebrated too. https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast    

Valentines Day is just around the corner and we thought what a great time to offer some dating advice….for the men! On todays episode we offer a dating 101 for all the men out there. We cover effort (it's not what you think, men),communication, and a whole lot more when it comes to the early stages of dating. We also dive into some ideas for Valentines day whether you are single, taken or in between. It's a great episode with some great advice, men! So sit down, listen up, and you may just change your dating life for the better. https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

A lot of things are weird in your 30s - your body, fashion trends, social media, and friendships. On todays episode, we discuss the latter and the importance of having solid friendships in your life and why making an effort is needed and wanted. We talk about red flags in friendships, being friends with your ex, can men and women ever really be friends, and a whole lot more. It's an episode with a lot of twists and turns. It's a don't miss, besties! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

Women and their weight. This seems to be a topic that we as a society just can't get away from and frankly, we need to do better as a society. On todays episode we breakdown the weight loss injections drugs that have been taking social media by storm, all the celebs accused of using, and how even if you're a swimsuit model, you can still get turned away at the door in LA. We also introduce some pop culture topics (you know we live for the drama), and discuss a rather controversial video we came across. As always, it's another great episode you don't want to miss.

Happy New Year, babes! First episode of 2023 and we are kicking it off right with the first guest of the year.

So many people to cancel and so little time to do it! Todays episode is all about the most recent phenomenon our society has fallen in love with - Cancel Culture. While we love accountability and responsibility, is “canceling” someone really effective? We discuss the most recent Balenciaga scandal and all the cancel craziness from influencers burning their items on camera, social media influence to Kim Kardashians involvement. And maybe the people we really need to cancel is ourselves? Definitely a question worth discussing and an episode worth listening to. It's messy, but good. We promise! https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

2023 is right around the corner and we all know what that means, New Year resolutions! But rather than wait for the new year (and to probably bail on them a week after), let's switch things up now! Today we talk about how to start switching up your routine and bringing some fun back into your life. We discuss why so many New Year resolutions fail, and some practical tips on how to make a change and stick to it. In the words of the incredibly wise and talented Spice Girls, “Spice up your life!” https://linktr.ee/imeanidkpodcast

We have all been told that we should never lower our standards….but that may have been wrong advice. Today we talk about a fascinating article on “The rise of lonely single men” and how that may be effecting our expectations in the dating world. Along with the article, we break down an instagram post about how in order to find a partner, we just might have to lower those expectations. This is an interesting one, kids. Hope you're ready for a dating reality check.
