    Ep 15: Hot Takes and Drunk Mistakes

    What started as a simple hot takes Q+A quickly spiraled into unhinged stories, questionable decisions, and a surprising amount of alcohol-fueled chaos. We’re sharing opinions no one asked for, moments we absolutely should’ve kept to ourselves, and stories that felt like a good idea at the time but absolutely were not. From drunk mistakes and messy nights out to embarrassing social interactions, dating mishaps, and choices we would never make now, this episode turns into a full-on storytelling session. It’s funny, self-aware, and painfully relatable for anyone who has ever looked back on their past behavior and thought, “What was I doing?” This episode is light, messy, and very honest. If you love hot takes, embarrassing stories, candid conversations about dating and friendships, or laughing at the unhinged versions of yourself that somehow survived, this one’s for you. If you’ve ever said “I would not do that now” while thinking about your past self, you’re in the right place.

    Ep 14: Confidently Wrong About Everything

    In this Q+A episode, we are confidently wrong about almost everything. From being judged for not being emo enough, making up song lyrics, and pretending we’ve read entire book series, to driving confidently in the wrong direction and refusing to navigate ever again, nothing is off limits. We talk about sucking it in to make clothes look good, hating outfits we once loved, screaming in traffic, and absolutely losing it over minor inconveniences while staying calm in actual crises. We get into pick me phases, trying to be one of the guys, pretending to like things we don’t, following trends we are now deeply embarrassed by, and lying about how great life, work, and dating are when it feels like everything is quietly falling apart. This episode is rambling, self aware, chaotic, and painfully relatable. It’s about moments we thought we were nailing it, times we should have said less, and the universal experience of overthinking your entire life while negotiating with yourself just to get through the day. If you have ever been confidently wrong, socially awkward, emotionally overwhelmed, or simply doing the most over the least, this one is for you.

    Ep 13: Men Who We Loved More Than They Loved Us

    This week, we are talking about the men we loved way more than they ever loved us back. You know the ones. The relationships we begged to save even when the cracks were already impossible to ignore. The times we let men treat us like absolute garbage and somehow convinced ourselves it was our fault. The moments we stayed longer than we should have, shrank ourselves to keep the peace, and worked overtime to prove we were “worth it.” We get into the embarrassing stuff too. Letting men meet our friends just for them to immediately disappear. Making excuses for behavior we would never tolerate now. Blaming ourselves when relationships turned toxic instead of recognizing what was actually happening. We also talk about the phases that followed. The man hating eras. The borderline pick me moments. The whiplash between swearing off dating entirely and desperately wanting to be chosen. And most importantly, how we grew out of all of it. This episode is about patterns, growth, self respect, and the painful lessons that taught us what we deserve. If you have ever begged someone to love you, ignored every red flag, or stayed when leaving would have been healthier, this one is for you. Grab a drink, take a deep breath, and cast it out.

    Ep 12: No Kids, Growing Apart, and the “Someday” Speech

    In this episode of Casting It Out, we get very real about being child-free in a world that assumes you’ll “want them someday.” We talk about friendships growing apart after kids, being the ones who bend, adjust, reschedule, and show up anyway, and how consistently giving more can quietly wear on a relationship over time. We unpack the quiet grief of losing friends to parenthood, not out of resentment, but because life shifts and not everyone is able to meet you halfway. Some friends do it beautifully. Others don’t. And sometimes, even when we try our hardest, we still have to let a friendship fade while genuinely hoping their life is full and happy. We also push back on the idea that not having kids means we don’t understand responsibility. Our lives can still be heavy, draining, and full in ways that aren’t always visible. We talk about what it means to carry real responsibility, manage full lives, and still try our best to meet people where they are. We dig into the pressure placed on women to become mothers, why a woman’s purpose is not defined by having a child, and how even women who are mothers deserve to be seen as full humans with identities beyond that role. It’s funny, honest, chaotic, and tender. A little ranty. A little sad. Very relatable. If you’ve ever felt like you were always the one adjusting, or if you’ve loved friends deeply and still had to grieve the version of a relationship that no longer exists, this one’s for you.

    Ep 11: Resolutions, Delusions, and Good Intentions

    New year, same cycle. Big plans, instant motivation, zero follow-through. In this episode, Josie and Kayla get painfully honest about why New Year’s resolutions never stick. From procrastination and burnout to setting wildly unrealistic goals and then spiraling when we miss them. We talk about doing things for short-term gratification, crashing out after going too hard, and why starting at square one feels so hard every single time. We dig into what it actually looks like to set attainable goals, take small steps, and finish what we start. From keeping the house organized and sticking to workout schedules, to navigating health, weight loss, money goals, and saving for a future that actually feels secure. We unpack planning versus doing, loving the idea of goals without setting ourselves up to succeed, and learning how to take wins when we get them. We also talk balance. Wanting to reach goals without missing out on city life, patio beers, warm weather FOMO, and the fear that self-improvement means no fun allowed. Kayla opens up about moving to the city, learning how to cook, being kinder to herself, and working on boundaries. Josie shares her push for monthly cultural adventures, making art, learning instruments, and becoming more social without relying on alcohol. This episode is about doing things alone, starting now instead of waiting for the right time, embracing nature, building routines that support your goals even when full effort is not possible, and accepting that you might suck at something before you get better. If you’ve ever set a resolution with good intentions and watched it quietly fall apart by February, this one’s for you.

    Ep 10: Creating Lives We Want (Derailing All We Knew)

    In this episode, we’re closing out the season by talking about what it actually looks like to create a life that feels like ours. Not the one we were handed, not the one people expected from us, and definitely not the one we felt pressured to follow. We get into the reality of choosing ourselves, letting go of timelines that never fit, and breaking away from identities we outgrew. We talk about the messy, uncomfortable process of changing directions, the fear of disappointing people, and the relief of realizing we’re allowed to start over at any time. From career shifts to moving to new cities to questioning the roles we were told to play, we unpack how easy it is to lose yourself when you’re trying to make everyone else happy. And how good it feels to finally stop. We also get into what “derailing” actually means for us. Sometimes it’s quitting the job that drained us, sometimes it’s walking away from relationships that weren’t aligned, and sometimes it’s admitting we’re not who we used to be. We talk about finding joy again, rebuilding confidence, and learning to trust that we’re capable of more than the versions of ourselves we left behind. If you’ve ever felt stuck, boxed in, or trapped in a life you didn’t choose, this episode is the reminder that you can rewrite your story at any point. There’s no perfect timeline and no single right way to build a life that feels honest, fulfilling, and genuinely yours. Casting It Out is a Nashville-based show about the chaos of womanhood, reinvention, and choosing yourself even when it feels risky.

    Ep 9: Girl Math and Other Survival Skills

    This week, we are celebrating the unhinged magic of girlhood. The science of Girl Math. The confidence of one drink to trauma dump and three drinks to become everyone’s best friend. The instant bond of meeting a girl in the bar bathroom who tells you she loves your outfit, and suddenly she knows your whole life story. We look back on the late nights out, the house party phase, the growing-up moments we powered through, and the friendships that held us together. Being a girl's girl means hyping each other up, holding hair back, accidentally putting a hand somewhere regrettable, and laughing about it for years. We get into the drunk munchies, the struggle of social energy as adults, and the reality of wanting to be invited to everything while also wanting to stay home and ignore texts for a full weekend. There is something so comforting about sending ten TikToks to your best friend instead of a paragraph. It still counts as love. We dig into the anxious thoughts that never turn off. The imaginary arguments we win in the shower. The survival scenarios we plan in our heads like it is a hobby. Getting ready just to cancel plans because the everything shower took every ounce of energy we had. And the dates that did not deserve the effort we put into shaving, moisturizing, exfoliating, or mentally preparing. We talk pets being children, needing constant reassurance that we are doing enough, and the specific brand of chaos that makes women the funniest, toughest, most loving humans on the planet. This episode is for anyone who has ever cried in a bathroom, made a friend in a bathroom, or found the courage to leave the bathroom and dance again. Growing up is weird. Girlhood is wild. But we survived it together, and we are still showing up, snacks in hand, ready for whatever is next.

    Ep 8: The Audacity (of Men)

    Men really do have some nerve. In this episode, we’re talking about the audacity of men and the way so many of them move through the world like they’re entitled to our time, our space, our energy, and sometimes even our bodies. From the everyday moments that make you stop and think “seriously?” to the bigger patterns we’ve all had to deal with, we dig into the double standards women are tired of navigating. We get into the mixed signals, emotional laziness, unsolicited opinions, and men who expect everything while offering the bare minimum. It’s the subtle behaviors, the bold moments, and the way women are constantly expected to shrink or compromise while men do the opposite. These experiences are universal for so many women, and we’re naming them out loud. We share real stories from our lives, how this shows up in dating and daily interactions, and why these patterns hit such a nerve. It’s honest, a little chaotic, occasionally unhinged, and deeply validating in a way that feels like talking with friends who get it. If you’ve ever had a man explain your own life to you, ignore your “no," or act like your time belongs to him, this episode will feel familiar. Casting It Out is a Nashville-based show about the chaos of womanhood, reinvention, and learning to take up space without apologizing for it.
