Revenge might feel good for a moment—but what does it really get you? In this raw and hilarious episode of Till the Wheels Fall Off, we unpack the difference between being petty and being powerful. From glitter bombs to passive-aggressive laundry comments to clapback culture on social media, they explore why pettiness is so seductive (especially after betrayal or injustice) and why it ultimately keeps you stuck in cycles of rumination, resentment, and regret.

You’ll hear personal stories, some hard truths, and a powerful reframe: assertiveness and values-based living aren’t boring—they’re badass. They walk through how to set boundaries without punishment, how trauma tempts us to strike back, and why emotional maturity isn’t weakness—it’s the flex. Whether you’re tempted to slash tires, troll your ex on Instagram, or drop a snarky comment at work, this episode might just stop you—and help you choose power over pettiness.

If you’ve ever asked, “Why do they get away with everything while I take the high road?”—this one’s for you.

In this episode, Paige gets real about the toll social media can take on our nervous systems, identity, and sense of reality. Inspired by a quote—“Normal is 7 hours of screen time a day”—she opens up about why she’s taking a step back, how social media may create low-agency behavior, and what it really means to get back to the basics.

This isn’t a lecture—it’s a wake-up call for anyone feeling overstimulated, stuck in the scroll, and slowly losing themselves in the noise.

If you’ve ever thought, “I should be able to handle it,” but deep down know it’s messing with your mental health, this one’s for you.

Because maybe, just maybe… it’s time to put the phone down.

In Part Two of our High Agency series, Matt and Paige dive even deeper into what it really means to live a high agency life—and what gets in the way.

We unpack the traps that keep people stuck: the vague trap, the midwit trap, the rumination trap, and the overwhelm trap. You’ll hear how overthinking and searching for the perfect, risk-free solution leaves people paralyzed, stuck in fantasy instead of action. We talk about defining problems clearly, trusting your gut, experimenting with bold choices, and taking the smallest next step to break through analysis paralysis.

You’ll also hear:

• The “Evil Twin” thought experiment: What would the most high-agency version of you do?
• How to stop chasing clarity and start earning it through action
• Why even painful or imperfect action is better than passive confusion
• The truth about trade-offs: there is no perfect decision, only movement
• The difference between controlling others and influencing outcomes with integrity
• Value Activation: the drill that helps you stop talking about your values and actually live them
• A framework for turning bullshit into reality—from journaling and wishing to doing and becoming

We also explore how to break down overwhelming problems into levels—just like video games do—and how taking action, even imperfectly, is what creates momentum, healing, and growth.

This episode will help you shift from vibes to reality, from inspiration to execution, and from feeling stuck to living on purpose.

You don’t need more clarity—you need more courage.

“What if they relapse?” “What if I mess up?” “What if everything falls apart?” If those questions live rent-free in your mind, this episode is for you. I’ll show you how one simple shift—from “What if” to “Even if”—can change the way you cope with stress, fear, and uncertainty. You’ll hear mindset exercises, honest stories, and practical ways to handle life when it doesn’t go according to plan. Because it rarely does.

In this solo episode, Matt breaks down the core beliefs that define high agency—an empowering mindset rooted in action, clarity, and personal responsibility. Inspired by George Mack’s High Agency essay, Matt explores five foundational beliefs that high agency people carry and shares practical exercises you can start using today to apply them in your own life.

You’ll learn:
– Why leaving isn’t impossible
– How to stop waiting for permission
– What it means to design your own path
– Why “normal” is overrated
– And how to take action right now—even in the middle of the chaos

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, hesitant, or overwhelmed by someone else’s addiction, emotional immaturity, or the fear of making the “wrong” move. High agency isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you build.

Paige will return for Part Two, where they’ll continue this conversation and expand it even further.

If silence makes you restless, anxious, or uneasy, you’re not alone. For many, silence isn’t peaceful. The second things get quiet, all the thoughts, emotions, and fears we’ve been avoiding start creeping in. And if you’ve been living in survival mode, silence doesn’t feel safe, it feels like the calm before the next storm.

But what if silence isn’t something to fear? What if sitting in it is actually an important part of healing?

In this episode, I break down why silence feels so hard, especially for those who’ve experienced betrayal, trauma, or chronic stress. I’ll share how I struggled with it, why your nervous system might resist stillness, and the small but powerful steps you can take to make silence a safe place again.

Has common sense officially left the building? In this unapologetically real episode, we dive into why people are more confused than ever despite having access to endless information. From the rise of pop psychology trends and over-pathologizing human behavior to the pitfalls of therapy culture and self-diagnosis spirals, we break down how modern society has made everything way more complicated than it needs to be. We’re cutting through the noise and getting back to basics—because, at the end of the day, action matters more than endless analysis. If you’re tired of overthinking, stuck in a loop of “understanding” instead of doing, this episode is for you.

If you’ve loved someone struggling with addiction—whether you’re still in the relationship or you’ve left—the fear of rejection can feel overwhelming. It’s not just about someone saying “no,” it feels personal. It feels like proof that you weren’t enough. But what if rejection isn’t what you think it is? In this episode, I break down how unhealthy relationships mess with your sense of self-worth, why rejection can feel paralyzing, and why avoiding connection isn’t actually protecting you—it’s keeping you stuck.

I’m in this with you, and I needed this reminder just as much as you do. Together, let’s unpack why rejection isn’t always personal, how to reframe it, and why connection is worth the risk.

Because the truth is? The right people won’t reject you. But you’ll never know that if you don’t take the chance.
