Awkward Double Feature: No Christmas Gifts For You & The Roommate From Hell (The Final Episode of This is Awkward)
After a far too long break, the final episode of This Is Awkward is here! We decided to go out in style and prepare a double episode for you all. In this final episode we are covering two very awkward final stories. Story 1: Ever considered a Christmas with zero presents? That's the reality one listener is grappling with this year. They're done racking up holiday debt but are stuck on how to break the news to gift-expecting relatives. It's honesty versus holiday expectations in this festive financial conundrum. Story 2: Then, dive into a classic roommate drama. A peace-loving college student is at odds with a new, snore-heavy, and messy roommate. Is this just typical cohabitation chaos or something more? They're weighing the options: confront, move out, or just put up with it? We're dissecting this dorm dilemma and need your take. Thank you all so much for 3+ years of AWKWARDNESS!!!

This is Awkward is moving to 4 times a month with our new episode called Ain't Now Way! You're probably wondering what this is all about. Let us paint a picture for you. Have you ever been scrolling online and stumbled upon something that caught your eye? Maybe it was a shiny piece of tech or a designer bag, but then you saw the price and your immediate reaction was, "Ain't no way I'm spending that much!" That is the essence of this segment. Together we will explore the fascinating world of outrageously priced luxury items. We've scoured the internet and handpicked two jaw-dropping items for this episode, and we're going to dissect them in all their extravagant glory. Together we will dive deep into the world of luxury shopping, analyzing each product, their outlandish descriptions, and, of course, their sky-high price tags. Next we challenge each other to answer these 4 questions: Would you, in your current financial situation, buy this item? What is the most money you've ever shelled out for a similar item? What's the maximum you'd be willing to spend on a high-quality version of this item? Finally, if you woke up as a millionaire tomorrow, would this item make it into your shopping cart? So, brace yourselves as we take a wild ride through the realm of luxury and ludicrous price tags!

71| Do I Really Deserve These Benefits?
In our first episode back, we're diving into a story from a brave Physician Assistant who recently fought for and won some well-deserved workplace perks. But now that they've got them, they're not quite sure what to do. Have you ever felt like you were pretending to be something you're not? Like you were stepping into a role that didn't quite fit? That's how our listener feels every time they walk into the physician's lounge or step up to the cafe counter to grab a complimentary snack. They've earned these perks, advocated for them even, but when the checkout ladies give them the side-eye or when there's a queue forming behind them, the doubt starts to creep in. Imposter syndrome is a tricky thing, isn't it? We've all been there. The feeling of being out of place, of waiting for someone to "call you out," can be paralyzing. Our listener is struggling with this very issue - do they announce their new status, or do they just skip out when the line gets too long? We'll discuss the psychology behind imposter syndrome, why it's so prevalent, and most importantly, how to combat these feelings of self-doubt. So grab a cup of coffee (yes, you deserve it!), sit back, and let's get started. Join Us On Patreon Get access to even more bonus content with our This Is Awkward Patreon starting at just $3!

61| My Cousin is Trying to Make Me Buy a House
What do you do when a family member won't stop pressuring you to buy a house? This episode we're tackling a situation that many of us have probably faced at some point - unsolicited financial advice from family. A listener is trying to decide whether to rent or buy a new home in a new city, but their cousin (who happens to be a real estate agent) is really pushing them towards buying. It's a tough spot to be in, especially when they aren't sure if their cousin has their best interests at heart or if they're just trying to make a sale.
