63: "It Is What It Is" - Healthy Stoicism or Emotional Immaturity?
Manage episode 479593388 series 3637588
Is “it is what it is” a sign of emotional maturity—or just emotional laziness? Roula and Rosie dig into this deceptively simple phrase and how it makes them deeply uncomfortable. Is it a shield to avoid vulnerability? A refusal to take responsibility? Or could it actually be a quiet form of acceptance? From toxic masculinity to menstrual mood swings, they unpack the many layers behind this throwaway line—and surprise themselves with where the conversation ends up.
Do you use this phrase? Or does it make your blood boil too?
