    Episode 36: Making Progress on What the F*ck Happened to Etiquette?

    Did everyone collectively forget how to behave? This week we’re diving into the slow death of common courtesy—from speakerphones in public and ghosting to shopping carts, phone addiction, and the rise of “main character syndrome.” We unpack the psychology behind why etiquette isn’t about being fancy—it’s about making life a little easier for everyone around you. Plus, our usual pop culture chaos, including Love Island, Taylor Swift, Paris Hilton, and Madison’s very specific waterpark logic.

    Episode 35: Making Progress on Annoying People

    We all have that person who somehow gets under our skin, but what if the real question isn’t how to change them, but why they affect us so much? This week, we’re unpacking the psychology behind annoying people, the difference between someone who’s simply irritating and someone who’s genuinely harmful, and how our own stress, past experiences, and values shape our reactions. We also touch on Madison’s newfound Happier Grocery connection and the shortcut to faster matchas, plus the question Whitney is asking: is Ballerina Farm really who she says she is? If you’ve ever found yourself irrationally bothered by someone’s habits, personality, or quirks, this episode will help you protect your peace without expecting everyone else to change.

    Episode 34: Making Progress on a Little Bit of Everything

    We're back with another catch-up episode—probably our favorite kind to record. This week, we're chatting about our separate trips to Palmetto Bluff, some very unrelatable plane ride stories, Whitney's experience with a dog psychic, and Madison's near-disaster involving her beloved lovie of 30 years. Whitney shares her newest personality trait and a Taylor Swift conspiracy theory that actually makes sense, while Madison explains why hair ties on wrists should never make an appearance in elevated situations. As always, we're doing what we do best: laughing, bantering, and catching up on life. It's an easy, fun conversation filled with lots of laughs and the kind of conversation that feels like hanging out with friends.

    Episode 33: Making Progress on the Heartbreak and Joy of Loving a Dog

    This week is one of our most personal episodes yet. We dedicate it to Blue—the puppy who changed our lives forever and reminded us that dogs are never “just pets.” We explore why the bond between humans and dogs runs so deep, what happens psychologically when we love and lose them, and why that grief can be just as profound as losing a family member. Along the way, we share funny stories, therapist insights, and the beautiful lessons dogs teach us about presence, unconditional love, forgiveness, and finding joy in ordinary moments. Whether you’re currently loving a dog or carrying the heartbreak of one you’ve lost, this conversation is for you

    Money can feel overwhelming, emotional, and confusing—but you’re not alone. This week, Whitney and Madison sit down with financial coach AJ from Beyond the Green Coaching (@BeyondtheGreencoaching) for an honest, judgment-free conversation about money. From mindset and budgeting to saving, debt, credit cards, homeownership, and navigating finances in relationships, AJ breaks down key concepts in a way that feels approachable and actionable. Whitney and Madison also share their experiences growing up without much financial literacy, the mistakes they’ve made, and what they’re still learning as they work toward their financial goals. Filled with vulnerability, laughter, and plenty of Progress Girls moments, this episode will leave you feeling empowered to take the next step—because financial wellness isn’t about perfection, it’s about progress.

    Episode 31: Making Progress on Catching Up and Chit Chat

    This week, we’re catching up on everything. From the difference between a glimmer and a trigger to surviving school parent nights, we’re sharing what’s been living rent-free in our heads lately. We debrief Madison’s whirlwind 24-hour trip to Las Vegas to see Hilary Duff, Whitney’s dreamy 72 hours in Puglia, and Whitney’s ongoing battle to train her puppy. We also dive into Oprah’s recent conversation with Anthropic, our growing thoughts (and concerns) about AI, why we’re both trying to rein in our spending habits, and what Whitney is dreaming up for her 40th birthday next year. Equal parts therapy, travel, life updates, and brain rot—just the way we like it.

    Episode 30: Making Progress on the Black Coffee Theory & the Power of Our Thoughts

    This week, we're breaking down why "I don't want this" isn't enough. The Black Coffee Theory is simple: what you focus on is what you keep attracting. In dating, friendships, work, and healing, many of us spend too much time trying to add sugar to situations that are just... black coffee. We also dive into Don't Believe Everything You Think by Joseph Nguyen and the idea that our suffering often doesn't come from life itself, but from the way we're thinking about it. Plus, Whitney discovers the world's most expensive pillow, we discuss why people may be changing their minds about Kyle from Summer House, and Madison shares why she had to turn down a pair of Chanel flats.

    Episode 29: Making Progress on Lab-Grown Diamonds

    This week, The Progress Girls are joined by special guest Madeline Duneier, the woman behind State Fair Jewelry, and we are getting into the tea on lab-grown diamonds. Madeline went from Teen Vogue beauty assistant to launching her own jewelry brand in 2025, and she breaks down everything you actually need to know. We talk natural vs. lab-grown, why people still get weirdly judgey about it, and if anyone can actually tell the difference (spoiler: absolutely not without fancy equipment). We also get into status, value, dating culture, and the biggest misconceptions people still have about diamonds in general. Plus, the story of how Madison and Madeline met at a Hamptons trunk show—and why that convo totally changed Madison’s perspective. Basically: we laughed, we learned, and if you’ve ever wondered if lab-grown diamonds are actually that girl… this episode is for you.
