“It is what it is.” A phrase some people find comforting — while others find it triggering. In this episode, Roula & Rosie dive into the meaning, the emotions, and the personal stories behind this deceptively simple expression.
Inspired by thoughtful listener comments, the conversation unpacks:
Why “it is what it is” can feel empowering for some but dismissive for others.
How phrases get tied to personal experiences (yes, even Conor McGregor 👀).
The balance between acceptance and hope.
Alternative ways of expressing resilience without shutting down emotions.
Why community feedback (shoutout Funky7961 & Codex!) makes conversations richer.
It’s reflective, a little funny, and definitely relatable for anyone who’s ever struggled with the fine line between letting go and holding on.
