    Laura Marie Meyers on The Mash Up and Millennial Nostalgia

    This week on Slay & Pray, Alisha and Corinna sit down with USA Today bestselling author Laura Marie Meyers to talk about her debut novel, The Mash Up. Laura shares how the idea “girl stuck in a MASH game” lived in her notes app for years, how millennial nostalgia helped shape the book, and why Ruby’s story became about more than just a fun rom-com premise. The conversation dives into lifelong friendships, motherhood, reconnecting with the dreams you had when you were younger, and what it means to stop playing your life small. Plus, we get into all the important things: AIM screen names, You’ve Got Mail, 10 Things I Hate About You, Miss Congeniality, Limited Too, NSYNC vs. Backstreet Boys, and why Alisha may need a full rom-com correction plan.

    We Got Influenced by Instagram Ads… and Bought $50 Peanut Butter

    This week on Slay & Pray, Alisha and Corinna are catching up on a very chaotic week filled with sick kids, toddler fashion opinions, weighted vest life hacks, deflated party balloons, luxury facials, and the Instagram ads that are clearly working way too well. Alisha shares the emotional battle of trying to get her toddler dressed for daycare when all she wanted was a full sparkly ball gown, while Corinna reveals her latest purchase spiral: four jars of boutique peanut butter. From banana bread matcha regret to TikTok turning into QVC, the girls get into the very real danger of being influenced online. They also talk current reads, Bible “life hacks,” The Summer I Turned Pretty, The Gilded Age, Outer Banks, Drew Starkey, Ted Lasso, and why every show somehow becomes a full emotional journey.

    Sourdough, Saving Money & Instacart Balloon Chaos | Slay & Pray Podcast

    One of us is baking homemade sourdough to save money. The other is Instacarting an army of giant balloons. We’ll let you guess who is who. 😂 This week on Slay & Pray, Alisha’s money-saving era has officially become her entire personality — complete with homemade sandwich bread, cheaper hair products and a refusal to buy a $30 hairbrush. Meanwhile, Corinna has the exact opposite problem. Then we need to discuss THE BALLOONS. Corinna attempts to save herself some time by ordering inflated balloons through Instacart, only to end up with a delivery straight out of a clown car, missing balloons, a balloon casualty in the Arizona heat and a driver who repeatedly reminds her that he deserves a bigger tip. Plus, Alisha finally starts Outer Banks, Corinna is deep into her Ted Lasso rewatch, we debate whether we’re Pogues or Kooks, talk about our latest reads and once again mourn the loss of Salad and Go. Oh, and apparently Alisha doesn't brush her hair. Another perfectly normal week at Slay & Pray. ⏰ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — Is Alisha becoming a trad wife?00:37 — The sourdough era has begun01:49 — Does making bread actually save money?02:47 — Our VERY different spending habits04:05 — The $30 hairbrush debate04:17 — Alisha admits she doesn't brush her hair06:30 — The curly hair defense08:31 — Alisha's Slay of the Week09:58 — Corinna's latest book obsession11:46 — We're STILL mourning Salad and Go14:13 — The Instacart balloon disaster begins15:15 — The driver asks for a bigger tip 😳17:07 — The clown car arrives18:21 — Corinna ordered HOW many balloons?!21:49 — Four balloons never made it23:27 — Should Corinna have tipped him more?25:54 — Sourdough reveal!27:59 — Corinna is binging Ted Lasso29:13 — Our thoughts on Ted Lasso Season 332:21 — Alisha finally watches Outer Banks33:48 — Why Outer Banks is stressing Alisha out35:22 — Getting spoiled by social media36:20 — Alisha belongs in the Outer Banks36:54 — Are we Pogues or Kooks?37:40 — Corinna's documentary obsession40:34 — The danger of listening to your own podcast in public41:20 — We could talk about birth forever42:10 — Bringing it on home, John B. 🛍️ SHOP MY STOREShop my favorites: https://bit.ly/4fYBUlk ✨ SLAY & PRAY Join Corinna and Alisha for unfiltered conversations about pop culture, motherhood, friendships, books, TV, life and whatever chaos makes its way onto the couch. 🌐 VISIT USslayandpraypodcast.com Make sure to like, subscribe and follow Slay & Pray wherever you get your podcasts! #SlayAndPray #Podcast #Sourdough #OuterBanks #TedLasso #Instacart #SavingMoney #PopCulture #BookRecommendations #TVRecommendations

    Harry Jowsey noticed us. Armchair Expert reposted us. And somehow that's only the beginning of this week's chaos. 😂 Corinna and Alisha are back on the couch talking about everything they're watching, reading and obsessing over — including Lucky, Silo, Friends & Neighbors, The Dink, Jury Duty and the books currently taking over their lives. Corinna shares her very exciting Harry Jowsey interaction (which Alisha tries her absolute best to be excited about), plus the moment Armchair Expert reshared Slay & Pray. They also get into the Idaho college murders after listening to Christopher Whitcomb's interview about The Broken Plea and discuss some of the questions surrounding the case. Plus: Alisha finally reads the books Corinna has been assigning her, Salad and Go is gone and they're still mourning, Lisa's Literary Corner is officially becoming a thing, and a conversation about birth turns into some very memorable labor-room stories.

    How Have You NEVER Seen Practical Magic?!

    This week on Slay & Pray, Corinna and Alisha are talking books, TV, movies, bruised butts, making their first dollars from the podcast, and one truly ridiculous shark movie. 😂 First, Alisha is officially doing her homework and reading Dolly All the Time ahead of a VERY exciting upcoming author interview. Meanwhile, Corinna is celebrating the fact that Slay & Pray has actually made money — even if they’re currently debating how to split their whopping earnings. 💰 Then Corinna tells the story of FALLING DOWN THE STAIRS and somehow sends the conversation spiraling into butt bruises, longboarding accidents, idyllic summers on Lake Minnetonka and the realization that maybe her obsession with summer romance books goes deeper than anyone realized. Then it’s time for Chaos on the Couch! Corinna made Alisha watch Devil’s Mouth, and they have THOUGHTS. Sharks? Underwater caves? Hot people in Thailand? Every possible young-adult movie trope? Somehow it has all the ingredients of a good movie while also being completely ridiculous. Plus, they’re talking Lucky, Ted Lasso, Silo, Wicker, Practical Magic and what they’re watching next. And BIG Slay & Pray news: Annabel Monaghan is coming on the podcast! 📚 TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Faking enthusiasm & bullying Corinna02:01 — Alisha’s daughter starts “pre-preschool”07:20 — Alisha stopped reading… until Corinna gave her homework09:25 — Corinna’s relentless podcast PR strategy13:26 — Alisha is reading Dolly All the Time14:52 — Slay & Pray actually made money!16:11 — The great $18 business debate18:40 — Corinna fell down the stairs 😳22:35 — Alisha’s longboarding disaster23:37 — Corinna’s idyllic Lake Minnetonka summers27:31 — Chaos on the Couch29:35 — Devil’s Mouth review32:53 — “Scream with sharks”34:22 — Is Gavin getting typecast?36:17 — The problem with stressful movies39:06 — So… was Devil’s Mouth actually good?40:39 — Lucky on Apple TV42:20 — Ted Lasso is back43:40 — Alisha wants Corinna to watch Silo44:00 — We NEED to talk about Wicker45:24 — The Practical Magic debate48:46 — Annabel Monaghan is coming to Slay & Pray!50:08 — Alisha is officially becoming a reader53:31 — Corinna is a… part-time vegetarian?55:40 — Until next time 💕 🛍️ SHOP MY STOREShop our favorites here: https://bit.ly/4fYBUlk If you loved the episode, like, subscribe and leave us a comment telling us what you’re watching right now — and whether Devil’s Mouth is going on your watchlist despite everything we just said. 😂 #SlayAndPray #DevilsMouth #WhatToWatch #Podcast #TVRecommendations #MovieReview #TedLasso #Silo #Lucky #AnnabelMonaghan

    We’re Breaking Up With Our Phones + What We’re Watching Right Now

    Corinna and Alisha are officially BRICKED. 📵😂 This week on Slay & Pray, we’re talking about our attempts to stop doomscrolling, why The Brick might actually be changing our lives, and what happens when you suddenly have hours of your evening back. But first: grocery-store dates with toddlers, an Arizona power outage, Corinna’s girls’ weekend and mildly terrifying steam-room experience, plus a very important discussion about sweaty workouts, childbirth and whether we’re becoming more unhinged every week. Then it’s time for Chaos on the Couch! We get into the Netflix documentary about the Idaho student murders, The Ultimatum, Project Hail Mary, Ransom Canyon (or, as Corinna would like it renamed, Handsome Canyon 👀), House of Stassi and more.

    Project Hail Mary, Silo season 3, family chaos & our latest book obsessions

    This week on Slay & Pray, Corinna and Alisha catch up after a busy week with plenty of laughs and way too many tangents. They debate the surprisingly life-changing benefits of using a top sheet, share their thoughts on Project Hail Marystarring Ryan Gosling (spoiler-free), recommend books and TV shows they've been loving, and swap hilarious family stories—including the unforgettable moment one child called an entire family gathering "a bunch of losers." Plus: Bravo TV, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Silo, Five-Star Weekend, favorite books, workout wins, air conditioning debates, and a conversation that somehow ends with doctors, caffeine, and questionable honesty on medical forms.
