    One Woman's Trash is Another's Treasure & the Last Cigarette

    We recorded this one while literally hauling the last bits of garage sale pieces to the thrift.  This week, Jessica and Heather unpack garage sale culture, the surprisingly fascinating people who show up at dawn for your old blender, the people who were fighting over a 25 year old tin canister of crackers and definitely got sideways on topics such as the real return of smoking as a vibe. Heather reveals what her last meal — and last four cartons of cigarettes — would be.  No studio. No plan. No anxiety.

    $10,000 and a Prayer. outh travel sports is a $40 billion industry built on one thing: parental hope. Families are spending $3,000, $5,000, even $10,000 a year... going into debt...  skipping vacations... working extra jobs...  all chasing a dream. Meanwhile, private equity firms are buying up the tournaments, the facilities, the uniforms, and the software. Every dollar your family spends has a destination. We followed the money. Youth travel sports costs have jumped 46% in five years. Nearly 20% of families go into debt to keep their kids on the field.

    Is Sustainability Dead? Let's talk Greenhushing, EPA Cuts, State of Cleaning up Toxic Communities

    Have corporations tossed their ESG - sustainability goals out with the trash? Or are they just too scared to talk about it? 🌍🔥 In this episode of StirredUp, we’re challenging... I sustainability dead?  While the world warms up, the corporate suits are cooling down and quietly scrubbing ESG goals from their websites and deleting goals that hold these highly influential companies to being good while doing good.  🎥 Inside This Episode: Does Sustainability Matter? Why a single degree of global warming isn't just "nicer weather," it’s the trigger for simultaneous floods, droughts, and hurricanes that are already breaking our infrastructure. The Rise of Greenhushing: We name names. From Coca-Cola to Walmart and BlackRock, corporations are playing a dangerous game of "Greenhushing"—dropping their ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) targets to avoid political crosshairs. The Political Backlash: How the recent surge in anti-ESG legislation and Republican-led pressure is forcing CEOs to choose between their climate promises and their stock prices. EPA Under the Knife: With massive proposed budget cuts (some as high as 50% for 2026), the federal "backstop" for pollution is crumbling. Toxic Legacies in St. Louis, MI: We take you to our own backyard. The Velsicol Superfund site in Michigan has been a toxic "cautionary tale" for 50 years. With years of cleanup still required, what happens when the funding dries up? Can a community ever be "safe" if the government stops looking?

    The Subscription Economy: Why you no longer own your movies, heated seats, or software

    The average American household now manages over six entertainment subscriptions alone—but the "leaks" don't stop at Netflix. We are now "renting" our office software, our car’s performance, and even our home security.  In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the $250 billion subscription economy. We explore why brands are desperate to turn every product into a monthly fee, how new "Click-to-Cancel" laws are fighting back, and what happens to your digital legacy when you stop paying the rent.
