Ned's Declassified Podcast Survival Guide

Ned Heads! On this week’s episode we spiral (responsibly) through social media chaos, TikTok theories about past lives and aliens, and why we somehow ended up debating Obama in the same breath as dog-sitting disasters and pet care expenses. We unpack the millennial struggle of spending vs. value—especially when “social expenses” hit harder than rent—while swapping stories about unexpected bills, AI taking over everything, and the generational differences that make us feel both ancient and iconic. We get nostalgic about our childhood memories, read wild fan mail from Arkansas to across the globe, and reflect on the international reach of this little podcast community that continues to blow our minds. From haters to victories, bizarre fan experiences to heartfelt appreciation, we lean into vulnerability, laugh at our own chaos, drop some semi-useful life tips, and remind ourselves (and you) that asking for what you want is still the ultimate survival guide move. Thanks for your continued support!

We break down the real survival guide to adulthood by talkin acting, imposter syndrome, and the industry lessons we wish we’d learned sooner, from child stardom to navigating authenticity in a capitalist media machine. We get honest about personal growth, sobriety, mental health, self-perception, and how preparation, feedback, and balance shape both our personal life and professional life. We unpack the hype and tension around media coverage, gambling culture, and big public events, then lighten things up by revealing our favorite animals and the animal traits that reflect how we see ourselves, how we want to be seen, and how we actually show up. We close with community engagement, listener participation, and a reminder that planning, intuition, and slowing down matter just as much as ambition when you’re trying to grow without losing yourself.

Ned Heads! In this episode we dive into emotional awareness and the surprising intelligence of the body, unpacking how memories and trauma live beyond the mind—sparked by an intense chiropractic experience that opens the door to deeper self-discovery.

From body awareness and personal growth to motivation and career changes, We remind ourselves (and you) that happiness matters more than over-intellectualizing, it’s never too late to reconnect with your body, and being brave through change is just part of the survival guide.
