    Are We Meant To Be Monogamous? Sisters in Sicily!

    Ciao from Italy!  In episode 25 we’re coming to you from Sicily with a very special guest: Tess, who joined us (along with Kate’s dad!) for this part of our adventure. Luckily, our beautiful hotel room has air conditioning because it’s over 100 degrees here. Joey can’t stop sweating, Kate loses her Kindle and immediately is worried about what someone might discover on it, and Tess realizes she’s been dressing for her inner child all along. Kate and Tess use the pod for some sister talk, from their new dark and spicy book obsession to the question: Tess once thought she wanted the kind of relationship Joey and Kate have… until she thought about it a little more. We also debate an important fashion question: can you wear a band tee for a band you don’t actually know? Tell us what you think! And we want to know: what’s something you’ve carried from your childhood into your adult style? Leave  a comment! Got a question? A hot take? A ramble you need to release into the world?

    Paris Heat Wave! Rug Cuddle Pod LIVE from Europe

    Bonjour, we're coming to you from Normandy, France for episode 24! We're here after we realized pretty quickly that as much as we love the old buildings and architecture in Paris, those beautiful old buildings do not have the air conditioning us Americans are used to. Even trying to buy a fan felt like we were doing a drug deal. C'est la vie, let's do as the French do and get out of the city.This brings us to discussing how, despite all this, we truly prefer the craftsmanship and style of European homes compared to new builds. The good news? We can now get that same 1800s craftsmanship at a much lower price point, with all the modern amenities we're not willing to give up, and we're taking notes for our own remodel. We share exciting news that we're headed to DIY Con in the fall, plus answer the question of whether we ever get sick of each other, since we spend the majority of our time together working side by side. Stay tuned for next week’s episode with Tess in Italy!

    Smiling on Camera, Grieving in Secret: Our Two Miscarriages

    Episode 22 is one we’ve wanted to make for a long time. Nine years ago, we experienced our first miscarriage while we were at the height of our OMG We’re Coming Over series. We were smiling on camera every week while privately navigating one of the hardest chapters of our lives. After experiencing a second miscarriage, we searched for answers and realized just how common pregnancy loss is, and how little it’s talked about.Today, we’re in a place where we can look back with gratitude and finally share our story, hoping it brings comfort to someone who needs it. We also share Kate’s closet clean-out tips, meaningful ways to memorialize a pregnancy loss or loved one through art, Tess’s adventures in Europe, the importance of having a “third place,” and why she’s loving tandem reading Throne of Glass. Don’t worry, we’ll be taking a little vacation, but a brand new episode will be waiting for you next Tuesday.

    Do We Regret Moving to Hawaii?

    In Episode 18, we share the latest update on our dream home plans, including something Kate has wanted for years for and is the perfect birthday gift. Now we just need those permits to cooperate. A perfectly timed call from a 73-year-old creative weirdo reminds us of something we all need to hear: you’re okay. We also discuss why we left LA and whether the pros of living in Hawaii outweigh the cons. Inspired by the aloha spirit, we’re dreaming up ways to help families impacted by the recent flooding and wondering: which YouTubers should we recruit to join the cause? Our Creative Sparks this week are all about adding a little more whimsy to everyday life. From Patch Summer, where adventures earn you embroidered badges, to the return of good old-fashioned snail mail. Tess skipped the book and dating updates this week because she was too busy living her best Vegas life at a Hilary Duff concert and chatting about books at the club. But if you know any historically accurate romantasy novels, send your recommendations Kate’s way. And stay tuned for next week’s episode because Tess will finally be joining us in Hawaii, in person, where two eligible bachelors may or may not be waiting for her…Patch Summer: tiktok.com/t/ZTByhvPAN/Proud of You Newsletter: https://proudofyou.club/products/proud-of-you-mail-club-u-sSong of Achilles: https://amzn.to/43RFmII If you like this podcast, please follow and leave us a five star review!
