nonchalance is out, playfulness is in

when the nonchalance era started a few years ago, being nonchalant was the highest virtue, and with that virtue, came an even higher cost: your happiness. disguised as a compliment, nonchalance became a prison dressed as freedom - a way to stay safe by staying detached, to protect yourself by caring less, and to win by never really playing. in this episode, we talk about how nonchalance is out, and playfulness is in - because life is meant to be lived freely, loudly and on your own terms, and at its core, the meaning of life is play. follow us: @grownk1d @gaelaitor @_kaylasuarez join our social club: https://grownkid.typeform.com/to/eZhvsKGH?typeform-source=grownkid.com overshare with us: grownkid.com About our Partners: GrownKid is made in partnership with Joy Coalition where purpose driven content meets powerful storytelling.

is the swag gap ruining your relationship?

this episode we talk about what some might consider the biggest dealbreaker: the swag gap. we found that this dealbreaker is not as surface level as it seems, and just how much we can overthink ourselves out of intimacy. from the unspoken rules of modern dating that make communication harder than it needs to be like swag gaps, to performing nonchalance, to holding back parts of yourself to seem more desirable, showing up as yourself can feel risky. but after reading Hinge's D.A.T.E Report, we found we're all just trying to be loved for who we are, swag or not. check out the report here: https://hinge.co/newsroom/2025-GenZ-Report follow us: @grownk1d @gaelaitor @_kaylasuarez join our social club: www.branchout.app/join/grownkid overshare with us: grownkid.com About our Partners: GrownKid is made in partnership with Joy Coalition where purpose driven content meets powerful storytelling.
