  • Sober Curiosity, Social Expectations & Staying True to Yourself
    Jul 7 2025

    This week on Only Human, Jess and Karli keep it light with an honest conversation about sober curiosity. It’s no secret—summer is often filled with social events, beach days, and plenty of drinks. While that can be fun, it can also bring up feelings of uncertainty, peer pressure, or simply the urge to pause and reflect.

    Right now, both Jess and Karli are reevaluating their relationship with alcohol. In this episode, they share what got them to that point, what the journey looks like in real-time, and how they’re navigating an alcohol-centered world with a little more intention.

    They talk about the mocktail they’re both loving, and share a laugh about a recent moment when they confidently ordered mocktails at the bar—proving that joy and connection don’t have to come with a drink in hand.

    Even if you’re not personally sober curious, this episode offers something for everyone. It might just help you better understand the people in your life who are, and offer a reminder that choosing what feels right for you is always enough.

    This week on Only Human, Jess and Karli open up about a topic that hits close to home for both of them: anxiety.

This episode isn’t just about coping—it’s about understanding anxiety on a deeper level and finding gentler, more compassionate ways to move through it. In a world that moves fast and keeps asking more of us, they hope this conversation reminds you that you’re not alone—and you're only human.

  • Chasing Milestones, Doubting Yourself & Trusting Your Timeline
    Jun 23 2025

    In this episode, Jess and Karli dive into the pressure of life timelines and the quiet (or not-so-quiet) comparisons that come with them. At 26, Jess is a married homeowner. At 28, Karli is single and living with her parents. Their lives couldn’t look more different on paper—and yet, they’re both asking the same thing: Am I doing life all wrong?In this honest conversation, they unpack how easy it is to feel behind when everyone else’s life looks perfectly on track—especially online. From unspoken expectations to the illusion of “success,” Jess and Karli explore the shame and self-doubt that can creep in when we measure ourselves against others. If you’ve ever questioned your path or wondered if you’re where you’re “supposed” to be, this episode is your reminder that you’re right on time.
