    67: “Gin & Chat About Our Recess Confessions: Fights, Audition Fails, & Humbling Moments”

    We're keeping it zero proof this week, sipping Recess mocktails (the drink for when you don’t want one), as we take it back to the playground. Let's chat about our most embarrassing recess stories; yes, Nat once tackled a kid to "save the day" and almost got suspended, plus Lo had an asthma attack mid choir performance.  Then we get real about why dance is the most humbling career out there: getting cut in the first round, entering a new generation, why we miss storytelling over tricks, and how to know if the dancer lifestyle is actually right for you.  We also discuss why women deserve to take up more space, the Alix & Ashtin dynamic duo that's basically us, breaking a trauma bond after dating a narcissist, animal themed bedroom murals, and a long-overdue shout-out to our editor Kyle. Of course we close it out with our classic Happy Hour Hot Takes because we know you can’t live without them.🍸 TIMESTAMPS  0:00 Introduction ft.

    66: "Gin & Chat About Codependent Enablers, Narcissists & Grief | Sue Us!"

    🍒🍸 We are so back! This week we're sipping on some cherry coke zero and gin while we chat about our messy and misfortunate summers. We're discussing accidentally falling for a narcissist (RIP "Pirate Pete"), what it actually feels like to be blindsided in love, and having the strength to finally walk away. How to deal with unexpected grief and allowing yourself time to bounce back.  On a lighter note, we dissect our friendship and finally determine the name for our dynamic; codependent enablers. We discuss why having hard conversations means that you care, and that finding friends who hold you accountable are the best ones to keep around. Oh, and we're addressing the elephant in the room: yes, we took a summer break. Sue us. Grab your drink of choice and settle in — this one's got grief, growth, friendship truths, and somehow, once again, it all circles back to Taylor Swift.  New episodes monthly now — follow us on IG & TikTok for more short form content @ginandchatpodcast TIMESTAMPS  0:00 Introduction ft. cherry coke zero & gin  3:13 Little Life Updates ft. a Narcissistic Pirate  6:37 Navigating Grief  12:21 The Ultimate Lesson  15:16 Friendship Faults  17:04 Codependent Enablers  20:46 Accountability Checks  27:34 Monthly Episodes  33:27 Happy Hour Hot Take 36:21 Conclusion Drop a comment and tell us: do you identify with the term codependent enabler?  #GinAndChat #NarcissisticAbuse #GriefJourney #Codependency #FriendshipGoals #AccountabilityPartner #TaylorSwift #HealingJourney #GirlTalk #PodcastLife #HappyHourHotTake #DatingAdvice #FriendshipAdvice

    We told you this would be our most iconic episode yet, and we meant it! This week we're joined by the incredibly talented Stephani Sosa — ballroom dancer, Utah native, and one of the 12 hopefuls competing on the brand new spin-off "Dancing With The Stars: The Next Pro"! We start things off with Stephani's upbringing and what it was really like growing up in Utah, both the beautiful parts and the unexpected challenges of building a dance career from there. Then we get into something truly special: her bond with her brother Ezra Sosa, a current pro on DWTS, and just how meaningful their relationship has been throughout her entire journey. Stephani opens up about the road it took to land a spot on The Next Pro and what this opportunity means to her after years of hard work behind the scenes. Of course, we couldn't let her leave without spilling the tea on what it was ACTUALLY like living with the other 11 contestants in the house, plus the truth behind some of the toughest challenges the show doesn't show you. And since episode 1 just aired this week, Stephani gives us her honest, unfiltered deep dive into everything that went down. This one is inspiring, emotional, and packed with the kind of behind-the-scenes tea you won't get anywhere else! Timestamps:  0:00 Introduction ft.

    Pour yourself some Conniption and join us for another cheeky chat!🍸 In this episode, we’re recapping our fabulous Summer Soirée — which wasn’t complete without cocktails made with our favorite gin from Conniption, obviously. We welcomed our favorite people into our new apartment, let the cocktails flow freely, and danced the night away! We then dive deep into the beauty and complexity of girlhood and why nurturing true sisterhood is everything. Things get vulnerable as we open up about a recent tough fight we had, unpacking codependency in friendships and how to navigate those emotional waters with honesty and love. True friendships sometimes force you to have hard conversations — but that’s because you actually care. Plus, we’re talking astrology… DUH!
