CHELSEY’S PREGNANT!!

This week on the What We Said Podcast, Chelsey opens up about being pregnant and some of the struggles that have come along with it, from feeling sick and exhausted to navigating such a huge life change while still trying to show up for her three boys at home. The girls talk honestly about the parts of pregnancy people don’t always prepare you for, how isolating it can feel at times, and the pressure to still “do it all” while your body is constantly changing. We end with a reminder from Jaci that you don’t need a perfect patio layout or tablescape to host people this summer. Sometimes the best memories come from simply inviting people over, even when the backyard is only half done. // WHAT WE ARE WEARING/MENTIONING // https://shopmy.us/shop/whatwesaidpodcast SHOP OUR MERCH: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/what-we-said !!!

I MARRIED THE GREEN FLAG

This week, the girls are reading your stories about the moment you knew you married the right person. After falling down the Love Trapped Podcast rabbit hole about a man who seemingly chose the wrong partner and is still paying the price, Jaci and Chelsey wanted to hear the opposite: the moments that made you realize, without a doubt, that you picked the right one. Listeners share stories of husbands showing up during life’s hardest seasons, or small acts of thoughtfulness that meant more than any grand gesture, confirming they had found their forever person. If the podcast that started this conversation was a cautionary tale, these stories are the antidote. A reminder that good partners do exist, and sometimes the clearest signs are found in the little things. !!! TIMECODES !!!

AM I BEING DRAMATIC?

This week, the girls are back with another advice column after recapping Jaci’s quick Vegas trip and catching up on life. The listener submissions, centered around determining who might be overreacting in a situation, sparked a lot of strong opinions, especially around friendships and the weird expectations people place on each other during big life moments. One listener writes in after her friend tells her not to get engaged during the same year as her wedding because she doesn’t want the attention taken away from her. This sends Jaci and Chelsey into a full discussion about “wedding year” culture and whether anyone actually owns an entire calendar year for ANY major life events. The girls also get into questions about navigating changing friendships, feeling unsupported during major life transitions, and figuring out when someone is crossing the line with green card marriages. !!!

FAKE SCENARIO-AHOLIC

Who doesn’t love a fake scenario? One thing’s for sure: the What We Said Podcast does — and apparently, so do you. This week, listeners submitted tons of hypothetical situations that have absolutely no basis in reality… but somehow still manage to raise your heart rate. What would you do if you caught your sister’s man liking your thirst traps? Or if you ran out of toilet paper in the bathroom at your biggest crush’s house? And then there’s the classic nightmare many of us have unfortunately lived through: accidentally sending a text about someone directly to them. Honestly, just thinking about it is enough to make you feel SICK. Get cozy and overthink with us! !!! TIMECODES !!!

SHOCKING MOM CONFESSIONS

Longtime listeners of the What We Said Podcast know that Jaci and Chelsey are moms, loud and proud. But as this episode proves, motherhood also comes with plenty of moments you’d rather never speak about again. This week, listeners wrote in their most controversial and shocking mom stories. Classics like kids accidentally saying horribly rude things to strangers in public (and the desperate cover-ups that follow) to looking away from your baby for one second only to find them casually chain-smoking. Oh, and yes, someone straight-up relieving themselves, in a cup, to avoid waking up their child. Birth control this month is complimentary to the What We Said podcast (jk we love being moms). !!!

HOW TO FIND YOURSELF

Yes, another guest episode so soon — and this one is a good one. Jaci and Chelsey are joined by Payton Sartain Ross, lifestyle and fashion creator, host of the Note to Self podcast, and curator behind Chez Ross. Fresh off getting married to MLB player Joe Ross, Payton opens up about life as a WAG (and what that even means), navigating the uncertainty that comes with career slumps in professional sports, and adjusting to an entirely new season of life. She also shares thoughts on a possible career pivot of her own, including going back to school, why influencing appealed to her in the first place, and why she’s considering walking away from it altogether.

WOMEN ARE TIRED

This week on the What We Said Podcast, the girls are back with another advice column episode, diving into your dilemmas. Listeners wrote in asking how to deal with gifts you definitely don’t want to keep (and the clutter guilt that comes with them), how to navigate mom guilt in a world where way too much is expected of women, coming to terms with the possibility that your family or future might not look the way you once imagined, and many more juicy questions. Along the way, Jaci and Chelsey also share their thoughts on the latest hit series False Prophet and the devastating realities so many women have faced while living in cult environments like the one depicted on the show. // WHAT WE ARE WEARING/MENTIONING // https://shopmy.us/shop/whatwesaidpodcast SHOP OUR MERCH: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/what-we-said !!!

Love this podcast and that the hosts are coming from a place of having GONE for their dream life and speaking from that experience. I love any funny observational talking podcast as much as anyone but this one hits uniquely different because they are happy with their lives, and are actively in the ring living life, never tearing down or laughing at people from a space not-trying place. These girls are living their TRUTH and that expansiveness touches everything, bringing a life and freshness to the observational takes I haven’t found anywhere else. Positivity and hope is the undercurrent even in the funny daily complaints or hard times, which life will always have! Anyway listen to em. (And come back on tour I have yet to be able to go!!) Love from NY. PS I’ll never forget how hard I laughed when you two asked Leif if he had ever laughed at another girl’s joke and screamed and hung up.
love the pod!

i love this podcast and y’all are so funny and fun to listen to. chelsey, thank you for reading the reviews and acknowledging that you interrupt jaci bc i’ve noticed this for so long but never said anything, so thank you for being willing to work on it!! also, it would be helpful if y’all introduced yourselves at the start of each episode like you used to for new listeners! basically all the podcasters i listen to introduce themselves each episode and i think it’s valuable. thanks for 2 episodes a week!! ❤️
Don’t get me wrong

I love listening to What We Said and have been a longtime listener since 2019. I’ve noticed the dynamic has shifted a bit recently.. before, it sometimes felt like Chelsey didn’t get enough space to speak, but now it occasionally feels like both of you are talking over each other at the same time. With little interruptions happening here and there. When that happens it can be hard to follow what’s being said on the mic. I genuinely enjoy hearing both of your perspectives, so I’d love if there were just a little more space for each person to finish their thought before chiming in. You both bring so much to the podcast and that balance is part of what makes it so good! ILYSM don’t hate me for saying this
These girls are hilarious

This is one of my favorite podcasts and for good reason! It’s really hard for me to find a good podcast because I get bored really easily and tune out but Chelsey and Jaci have me laughing out loud every week. So easy to listen to and their segments where people write in stories are always my favorite listens. Thank you for the fun content!!
