Episode 13 - Your Face Called: It Wants to Talk About Botox, Filler & What We're Wasting Money On (With special guest Andrea Petiton, RN)

How much of the beauty industry do we actually need…and how much are we being bullied into buying because one tiny forehead line apparently means we've "let ourselves go"? We brought on our registered nurse friend to break down Botox, Dysport, filler, facials, skincare products, and all the other things we're putting on, injecting into, and spending way too much money on. What's actually worth the money? What's overrated? What should we skip? And what the hell is the difference between Botox, Dysport, filler, and the other mysterious little syringes lurking in the med spa fridge? No judgment, no gatekeeping, and definitely no pretending we don't care about looking good. Just an honest conversation about what's worth it, what's a scam, and what might just be really expensive face maintenance with a side of emotional damage.

Episode 12: They need you less. Now what? The Mom role is changing.

Our kids are getting older, which is great…right? Except suddenly they don't need us to find their shoes, solve their problems, drive them everywhere, or know where literally everything in the house is. So…what the hell are we supposed to do with ourselves now? This week, we're talking about that weird stage of motherhood when your kids need you less and you start wondering, "Wait…what do I need?" Are we sad? Relieved? Bored? Free? All of the above before noon? We're getting into the identity crisis, the newfound freedom, the guilt that comes with actually enjoying your free time, and figuring out who you are when "Mom" isn't your full-time job anymore. Because apparently, raising independent children means we now have to develop personalities again. Rude.

Episode 10- Bitch Session: Pet Peeves That Piss Us The Fck Off.

In this episode, we're throwing shade at the tiny tyrannies that run our lives: the slow walkers, the muti-text abusers, the people who talk on speaker in public like it's a personal podcast. We'll rant about our most unhinged pet peeves, admit a few of our own petty crimes, and debate which everyday annoyances deserve a lifetime ban. Think of it as group therapy for anyone who's ever side-eyed a stranger for chewing too loudly.

Episode 9 - Knowing when to let go: Some people are lessons, not lifers.

When is it actually time to walk away? From a lover, a friendship, or even family, sometimes the hardest part isn't knowing the relationship is over—it's giving yourself permission to leave. We're talking about toxic patterns, crossed boundaries, outgrowing people, choosing your peace, and the guilt that comes with walking away from someone you once loved. Because not everyone is meant to stay—and sometimes walking away is the healthiest thing you can do.

Episode 8- Creeped Out: Phobias, Strange Coincidences, Superstitions, Karma and The Murder of Crows We Gave Names To.

We're unpacking our weirdest superstitions, irrational phobias, and the things we absolutely refuse to mess with. From telling crows to go after people who deserve it to wondering if technology is quietly plotting its revenge on us for being assholes… this episode gets a little unhinged. Because apparently karma, crows, and AI are all keeping score. 😈🐦‍⬛

Episode 7- Perimenopause Is a Bitch & Our Alexas Have Multiple Personalities

Nobody warned us about the weird stuff that comes with perimenopause. Brain fog, rogue hairs appearing out of nowhere, an explosion of white hairs, frozen shoulders, itchy ears… seriously, what is happening?! We're bitching about the symptoms nobody puts in the brochure—and trying to figure out why our Alexas seem to have multiple personalities of their own. Because apparently, getting older means our bodies AND our technology are acting up. 😂

Episode 6- Green Flag, Red Light: Proceed With Caution.

We've all ignored a red flag because they were hot… funny… or gave us just enough attention to convince ourselves, "It's probably fine." (Spoiler: It usually wasn't.) This week, we're diving into the world of red flags, green flags, fake green flags, and the pink flags that have us saying, "Hmm… let's keep an eye on that." From dating disasters and marriage lessons to friendships, family, and everyday relationships, we're sharing the signs we wish we'd noticed sooner—and the ones that actually deserve a chance. Expect plenty of laughs, a little self-awareness, and stories that might have you texting your best friend, "Okay… this is SO us." Because sometimes the biggest red flag is convincing yourself you're colorblind.

Episode 5- Love Is Blind. Your Finances Shouldn't Be.

Knowing your household finances isn't about mistrust—it's about being an equal partner. We're talking income, net worth, debt, retirement, taxes, and the questions every spouse should be able to answer before life throws them a curveball.

Episode 4- Who rescued whom: The dog you're looking for is already waiting for you.

In this episode, we're talking about why we believe in adopt, don't shop. Between the two of us, we've experienced it all — shelter dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs who came into our lives needing a second chance. And what we've learned is that you really can find the dog you're looking for without supporting breeders. Whether you want a big dog, a little dog, a certain personality, a couch companion, or an adventure buddy — there are amazing dogs waiting in shelters and rescues right now. These dogs aren't "less than." They are loyal, loving, hilarious, and often just need someone willing to give them a chance. We're sharing our experiences, the lessons our dogs have taught us, and why we believe choosing adoption can change not only a dog's life — but yours too.

Episode 3- Keep The Oreos: Strength Training, Calorie Deficits, GLP-1s And What Actually Works.

This week we're talking about something that affects so many women, but rarely gets discussed without judgment: weight loss. We each took a different path. One of us lost weight through a calorie deficit, while the other used a GLP-1. We compare our experiences, what surprised us, what was hard, and why there's no one "right" way to reach your goals. We're also talking about weight training, building strength, changing our mindset around food, and learning that Oreos don't have to be off-limits. Because sustainable health isn't about perfection. It's about finding what works for you. If you've ever felt guilty for eating dessert, confused by all the weight loss advice online, or wondered whether GLP-1s are "cheating," this conversation is for you. No shame. No judgment. Just two friends sharing what worked, what didn't, and why we're stronger, healthier, and happier because we stopped chasing perfection.

Episode 2- People Pleasing? We Don't Do That Anymore.

One of us is a retired people pleaser. The other never signed up for the job. In this episode, we're talking about what happens when you stop living for everyone else's approval. We share the lessons we've learned, the freedom that comes with protecting your peace, and why not everyone has to like you. If you've ever struggled with guilt, overexplaining, or putting yourself last, this conversation is your reminder that life gets a whole lot better when you stop people-pleasing.

Episode 1- The Art of Staying Out: Don't Let Your Kid's Drama Be Your Drama.

Can two moms stay best friends when their daughters aren't getting along? In our very first episode, we dive into the one rule that's helped our friendship survive years of parenting: we stay out of our daughters' drama. As best friends raising daughters who are also friends, we've learned that it's not our job to manage every disagreement, choose sides, or force a friendship. We talk about why we let them navigate their own conflicts, how setting boundaries has protected our relationship, and why resisting the urge to "fix it" has actually been healthier for everyone involved. If you've ever felt caught in the middle of your child's friendships—or worried that your kids' drama could affect your own relationships—this episode is for you. Sometimes the best thing parents can do is step back, trust the process, and let kids learn to work it out while we continue being the friends we chose.
