School, Shame & Participation Points

This is your sign to text your fave unlicensed therapists. (That’s us).

Move over, Mean Girls — the cafeteria politics were real.

This week on Twin Tangents: The Syllabus Is Trauma, Anthony and Nalee crack open the filing cabinet labeled “school shame” and pull out every glittery gold star, bathroom pass, and detention slip we’re still low-key healing from.

We’re talking:
 🍕 Cafeteria cold wars, saved seats, and why “popular” always equals jock-core
 🎓 Gold stars → adult validation loops (and how to break them)
 🧠 Imposter syndrome vs. “I’m just authentic, babe” — do we belong or just fake it better?
 👩‍🏫 Teachers who changed us… and the petty ones we’re still bitter about
 🏠 Traditional milestones that kinda flopped (degrees, home buying, reality checks)
 🧰 Classes we actually needed: budgeting, credit, car basics, real-world civics, mental health
 💪 Redefining success: C = complete, bills paid = A+, getting out of bed = extra credit

It’s detention, group project, pep talk, and roast — all in one chaotic study hall. Expect tangents, tender moments, and a very real pause for a tough news moment, too.

For anyone who still hears a guidance counselor in their head or is learning to clap for “average” — pull up a tray and sit with us.

🎙️ The syllabus is trauma. The healing is self-paced.

⚠️ Twin Tangents: Because Therapy Was Booked ⚠️
 Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Unhinged (just a bit).

Hosted by Nalee & Anthony—this is your safe, spicy space to spiral. Expect adult content, hot takes, and high-functioning chaos.

And yes, we call our listeners H.O.E.S.
 (Hilarious. Over it. Emotionally unstable. Spicy.)
 It’s not an insult. It’s a hoe-mmunity.

September’s here, which means new routines, reality checks, and maybe a little chaos. Grab your emotional lunchbox and let’s dive in.

Thanks for spending part of your reset with us. Remember—messy, honest, and evolving is still valid. See you next week.
