The Quiet Work of Positive Thinking
Better with Daffnee & Torri
Was Torri a little skeptical? Maybe! But when we dove in, turns out that after all, Torri IS in fact working on her mindset… Mindset work isn't always journaling, vision boards, or structured routines. Sometimes, it’s choosing to stay positive in hard moments. It’s having deep conversations, seeking connection, or just getting through the day with intention. In this episode, we talk about what mindset work really looks like, how to stay in a good headspace even when life gets messy, and why you might already be doing more mental work than you give yourself credit for. Whether you're deep...

We Thought Adulting Meant Freedom...
Better with Daffnee & Torri
When we were younger, we thought adulting would mean total freedom—no rules, no curfews, and eating cake for dinner. But in this episode, we unpack what actually comes with adulthood: the responsibilities, the pressure, the mental load, and the surprise realization that not everyone around us “adults” the same way. We talk about how trauma (or lack of it) shapes our ability to manage life, why having a partner who can carry their share of the adulting load matters more than you’d expect, and what it really means to feel “prepared” for adulthood. This episode is part...

When Rest Feels Wrong but Cleaning Baseboards Feels Right
Better with Daffnee & Torri
Why is it so hard to just be? In this episode, we unpack the tension between knowing we need rest… and still choosing productivity instead. From cleaning baseboards to reorganizing closets, we explore the emotional discomfort of stillness, the pressure to "earn" downtime, and why so many of us—especially parents and overachievers—find it easier to stay busy than to slow down. We also talk about the cultural messaging that ties our worth to our output, the guilt that creeps in during moments of rest, and how we can start to unlearn it. If you’ve ever felt like you need to “accomplish...

Can People Really Change?
Better with Daffnee & Torri
Same soul, new habits? Do people really change, or do we just learn how to play nicer?
