    Sick and Skinny: Meat Sacks, Parasites, and Body Image Anxiety

    Taylor refers to her body as a meat sack. Kenzie spent over two decades in front of dance studio mirrors. So, as you might expect, we have some body dysmorphia (among many other issues), and you should not take our advice. But if you've ever struggled with body image or disordered eating, or you're just a woman existing in the world right now, we hope you'll feel very seen. Featuring: a stranger commenting "You look like you've gained a few pounds" on Taylor's video, stale Bon Bons that had been sitting in Taylor's cabinet for at least three months, our obsession with Driz (please sponsor us), and why sweet treat o'clock is the best cure for body image anxiety. (Like we said: do not take our advice.) Heads up: this one touches on eating disorders, disordered eating, and body checking. In this episode: 00:00 The troll comment 04:38 Sick but skinny 12:50 Where body checking started 16:35 Stress becomes body noise 21:37 Skinny or healthy?

    Ending Our Twenties With a Bang...in Rehab

    Our makeup artist took one look at us and said we don’t look like people who went to rehab (sounds like a compliment, tbh). Kenzie spent three years addicted to kratom, an opioid hiding in a “wellness tonic” sold at Erewhon and pushed by the biggest wellness podcasts. Taylor is a licensed therapist with a decade of her own therapy behind her, and a breakup still led her to a mental health crisis. Months later, we met on a train to a retreat in Switzerland, both dragging 70-pound suitcases. Within five minutes we’d learned we graduated from UW-Madison the same year, never met, and had both been to rehab within the last year. This episode gets into what treatment actually looked like for each of us, why rehab is for more than addiction, and why sometimes you have to leave the place that broke you to heal. Heads up before you press play: we talk openly about addiction, depression, and suicide. If you’re struggling, you’re not alone.

    Welcome to Enlightened-ish! - Trailer

    Enlightened-ish is a podcast about the questions we’re still asking after therapy, self-help books, tarot cards, retreats, and all the other places we thought we’d find answers. Hosts Kenzie and Taylor met on a train in Switzerland, headed to the same wellness retreat. Somewhere between stops, they realized they’d gone to the same college, graduated in the same class, and both gotten out of rehab in the same year. They skipped the highlight reels and went straight to the real stuff. Enlightened-ish is that conversation continued, with the mic on. Now, the two best friends bring their honesty, humor, and occasional lack of a filter to conversations about relationships, spirituality, personal development, recovery, wellness, and the strange experience of being human. They’re not experts. They’ve done an arguably excessive amount of “the work” and still repeat patterns, make questionable choices, and regularly realize they have no idea what they’re doing. They’re not here to give you a five-step plan, insist every hard thing happened “for a reason,” or pretend they’ve cracked the code. They’re here to keep you company in the messy middle, make you laugh, and help you feel a little less alone while they figure it out alongside you. New episodes every Wednesday, starting November 11, 2026. Enlightened-ish is a podcast with Kenzie and Taylor about relationships, recovery, spirituality, and the questions we’re still asking after therapy, self-help books, and tarot cards.
