It’s OOO season, friends! Between bachelorette weekends, road trips, summer vacay plans, and everyone decidedly going to Italy this month, travel is top of mind this time of year. And as the saying goes, “Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer”...But what happens if your phone is stolen, you lose your wallet, and your identity is compromised while abroad!? #truestory

Breakups are generally unavoidable in life, but that doesn’t mean we’re any good at them. The stressful conversation, the guilt, the division of friendships, navigating all the emotions and aftermath… it’s not a fun time. So this week, we’re taking inspiration from our girl TSwift, the breakup queen herself, and diving deep on how to call things off, in the kindest way possible.

Being a manager isn’t easy. (Seriously, just ask Mary Fitzgerald.) Leading a whole team of diverse humans with varying needs and goals can feel super overwhelming. So how do you confidently step into a management role and show others that you've got it figured out, even when you’re drowning in impostor syndrome? We got you.

The more adulting we do, the more we realize how essential getting good quality sleep is to literally every aspect of our lives. From our physical health to our mood and mindset, sleep is the key to solving a whole lot of our problems. We’re sick of burning the candle at both ends and tossing and turning each night, and we’re not alone: the past few decades have seen a downward trend in the quality and quantity of sleep that people are getting. So… let’s talk about sleep, baby!

Apparently, a big part of adulting is learning how to feed yourself, but with all the expensive health foods and skyrocketing grocery prices, eating well can feel financially overwhelming. So this week we’re talking about how to balance our nutrition without breaking the bank, because if we’ve learned anything on our wellness journeys, it’s that there is no one-size-fits-all solution for healthy eating and finding what works for your body can have a huge impact on how you feel.

We’re back with more of our conversation on hard conversations with the fabulous Anna Sale. This week we’re leaving our comfort zones behind and learning how to confront our mess head-on, for the good of our relationships and our sanity. From finances to family dynamics and grief, we’re getting all the tips on how to approach the most hush-hush topics and have the courage to admit when the status quo isn't good enough anymore.

Calling all our non-confrontational queens, this one’s for you! If you’ve ever avoided or put off a difficult conversation (you know the one), you’re not alone. We all struggle with confronting tough issues head-on in fear of being judged, shamed or rejected for expressing how we feel. But here's the thing – shying away from the hard, messy stuff means that we're leaving key parts of ourselves out of our most important relationships. So, it's time to learn how to navigate tough talks with confidence and grace!

Unlike labour, this week’s Asking For A Friend episode is a quickie and we’re getting real on giving birth! From birth plans to hospital bags, labour pains to pelvic floor prep, we’ve got TMHTA’s resident mom, Cailyn, in the hot seat to get all the juicy details on the highs and lows of creating life.

Tbh, it can be overwhelming trying to be more environmentally conscious with all the things we're “supposed” to be doing. Between recycling, conserving water, composting, and reducing waste, it feels like we're just not doing enough. But here’s the thing: it’s less about being the perfect environmentalist and more about finding sustainable swaps that work with your lifestyle — progress over perfection!

Spring has arrived, and just like the flowers outside, your finances deserve to bloom and flourish this season too! But with interest rates and inflation on the rise, saving money can feel like we’re all trying to swim upstream. So this week we’re throwing it back to an oldie but a goldie where we dive into some easy ways to save money and budget better, literally starting today! Because adulting just hits differently when you have your financial shit together.

In the words of Sharpay Evans “I want it all!” and we’re conditioned to believe that we should have it all — a career, a family, good health, a social life, nice things, without having to give anything up. But let’s be honest, our time and energy are finite resources and everything in life comes with tradeoffs. So the real key to “balance” is figuring out what you want to prioritize right now, and what can take the backseat.

This might come as a surprise, but telling people “no” isn’t actually one of the seven deadly sins. Here’s what actually happens when you say “no” to things you don’t align with that consistently drain you: You open up all of the doors for the “HELL YES” opportunities to come flooding in!

As we go through our 20s and 30s, we all start adulting in different ways and at different rates, and maintaining our ride-or-die connections can start to feel complicated. Navigating these different life stages means that our friendships sometimes end up at the bottom of the list, or we start growing in different directions and losing common ground. But every friendship goes through different seasons, and change doesn’t need to be a bad thing!

We humans are social creatures, we thrive on community and connection. But in these times of social media comparison and cancel culture, it can feel like we’ve lost sight of something vital — compassion. With mean girls dominating the news cycle, we thought this would be the perfect time to get deep and teach ourselves a lesson on the importance of compassion, how to give it to others and most importantly, how to give it to ourselves.

At its core, compassion is about putting aside judgment and making an effort to understand the struggles within ourselves and others. It helps us create meaningful connections, build healthy relationships, and develop emotional intelligence, which coincidentally all make for a well-adjusted adult! We’re all a lot more similar than we are different so let’s get positive (but not in a toxic way we promise).

Wedding season will soon be upon us, and if you’re planning to tie the knot, dreaming up a future wedding, or supporting a bride/groom in your life — this one’s for you. Whether you’re planning the event of the year, or an intimate and budget-friendly micro-celebration, every single wedding is a beautiful opportunity to celebrate love, so don’t lose sight of what’s important.

But no matter the scale or scope, weddings can be stressful, so we got the inside scoop from luxury wedding planner Rebecca Chan. Rebecca is the owner and lead planner of Rebecca Chan Weddings & Events, which specializes in planning beautiful, luxury weddings and events in Toronto and abroad. She’s been orchestrating stunning events for over a decade and is a regular Cityline guest expert. She’s even planned events for celebrities like Rupi Kaur!

If you’re starting to think about having a bébé, or newly expecting (congrats!), it’s totally normal for a laundry list of Qs — like, WTF IS THIS GOING TO FEEL LIKE!? — to start building up. The unknowns can feel daunting, and there are so many aspects of pregnancy that still aren’t openly talked about. Like the whole nipple situation.

Luckily for us, Cailyn tried out pregnancy for nine whole months, all so that we may benefit from her experiences and advice. Buckle up, because our resident mama is here to spill the tea on everything she learned during pregnancy.

Good communication is the golden key to a healthy relationship, but like most things, it’s easier said than done. So today, we’re continuing our love month theme and throwing it back to a collection of game-changing advice from our episode on communication and conflict with licensed family and marriage therapist, Liz Earnshaw.

Liz takes us on a relationship deep dive, breaking down everything from our physiology during conflict, to identifying power dynamics and creating healthy communication strategies. And even if you’re not in a relationship, this episode can help anyone work towards becoming the securely attached communicative human we all strive to be.

A wise person once said, love is blind. But let's be real…sometimes love can be straight up oblivious! Whether you’re single and dating or in a long-term relationship, green flags and red flags always seem to come up as signs that things are either going great, could use some work, or that it’s time to GTFO.

So, today we’re tackling a question that a lot of our friends and listeners have been talking about lately — how to spot a red or green flag in a relationship, and what to do when those red flags start adding up. Pour yourself a glass of your favourite bevy (it’s a fun one!) and join us as we read, rate, and drink our way through the red and green flags you DM’d us on IG, and discuss/debate how good or bad each scenario really is.

Hello lovers and friends, we’re back just in time for Valentine’s day with an episode that might just solve all your relationship blues (even if you’re just dating you!). This week we’re digging into the four attachment styles — what they are, how they show up in relationships, and how to navigate them like a thoroughly therapized pro.

Whether you’re aware of them or not, everyone has repeated patterns and automatic responses that crop up in their love life. Sometimes those reactions aren’t healthy, but luckily for us, we can do the work to create security and stability. That’s where attachment styles come in — the four attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant, disorganized) are influenced by our formative years, and they characterize how we interact and behave in relationships as adults.

It’s officially the month of love (and the unofficial Miley-buy-yourself-flowers month!), so we’re kicking it off with an episode dedicated to the real love of our life – ourselves! It’s easy to get so focused on dating and romance, that we forget about the importance of self-love, and we’re ready to change that.

Whether you’re feeling lonely or single, or craving some you-time in your relationship, learning to date yourself is a practice that can literally change your life. Because the way you treat yourself will impact the love you attract and the future fulfillment you feel.
