Two sisters. One small-town, conservative Christian homeschool past. A whole lot of things we were Miss Informed about. Now we're grown, raising our own kids, working full-time, and unpacking everything from purity culture to people-pleasing, deconstruction to diagnosis. This is the podcast where use humor to process learning and unlearning — together.

    No One Can Cancel Christmas (Not Even Mom)

    From slippery white tights and velvet collars to nursing-home caroling and “present!” drops from Mom’s closet, Beth and SJ unpack the rituals that made Christmas sparkle, and the darker seasons when holidays were used as leverage. They talk about learning to reclaim celebrations, giving Dad his flowers for simply showing up, and how repetition (not perfection) is the real engine of holiday magic. The sisters swap practical tradition ideas (window candles, cookie day, puzzles, popcorn garlands), debate turkey vs. ham, and explore a meaningful Winter Solstice gathering that centers light, gratitude, and connection. They close on gift-giving sanity checks, parenting without recreating scarcity, January as a recovery month, and the great “eat the frog…or toad?” bit. What you’ll hear: The good stuff: kid memories of tights, Mary Janes, matching dresses, and the legendary “present!” hallway toss The hard stuff: when holidays turned into control tactics and how the sisters rebuilt them anyway Reframing tradition: repetition > elaborate plans; “predictable = magical” for kids Gifts with grace: managing expectations, secondhand wins, and why “being seen” matters more than price tags Winter Solstice 101: candles, evergreens, Yule logs, and celebrating the return of light (zero spell-casting, promise) Boundaries & grace: why Dad gets oceans of grace for still trying and what that means for adult relationships

    Part 2: Our Lives through the Eras

    SJ and Beth pick up their Swiftie saga where they left off, diving from Lover into the pandemic twins folklore and evermore, fast-forwarding to the glittery insomnia of Midnights, and landing in the 2024 double-drop, The Tortured Poets Department. It’s part nostalgia tour, part sister therapy, part lyrical detective work. Between cardigan discourse and eldest-daughter rage, the sisters unpack why Taylor’s storytelling sticks, especially when life is messy: miscarriages, motherhood, family rupture, and learning to trust your own inner knowing.

    Part 1: Our Lives through the Eras

    In this episode we time-travel through our lives alongside Taylor’s eras, complete with bad posture critiques, free Speak Now concert tickets (yes, those existed), subtweets about a breakup, and an ongoing conversations about Taylor and her musical intentions. From SJ’s emo eyeliner phase to Beth’s "tarantula on her chest” moment, Taylor’s albums were the soundtrack (or sometimes the background noise) of our growing up, falling in love, and cutting toxic people out like Reputation pros. We roast our younger selves, fangirl hard, and ask the big questions: Why is Lover both sparkly rainbows and secretly anxious? Was Speak Now merch really brown? And are we allowed to skip a track five? (Sorry Archer stans.) Basically this is a Swiftie fever dream wrapped in sister banter, Kansas City pride, and a lot of self-deprecating humor. Come scream-sing with us because our life really has been one long era. 💖 Not on Spotify? watch on Youtube here.

    Overfunctioning Anonymous: Confessions of a Recovering Eldest Daughter

    In this episode of Misinformed, Beth celebrates a huge career milestone as she steps into her dream role as a play therapist, while SJ gets uncomfortably honest about falling back into old “eldest daughter” survival patterns. From growing up as the built-in family manager to overfunctioning in jobs and relationships, SJ shares how those early responsibilities shaped her boundaries (or lack thereof) — and what it’s taking to reclaim her time, energy, and sparkle. There’s a trip to South Korea, a murky aura, sibling protest signs, and the reminder that sometimes doing less is the bravest thing you can do. It’s funny, raw, and a must-listen for anyone who’s ever been told, “I don’t have to worry about you.”

    Dog Catchers and Other Dream Jobs

    In this episode, SJ and Beth take a trip down memory lane, revisiting the childhood dreams that once lit them up. But this isn’t just a nostalgia fest. They also dig into how those early aspirations morph in adulthood, what it means to chase purpose in a tough job market, and why hope can sometimes feel heavier than heartbreak. Beth opens up about her journey into play therapy and the insecurities that came with it, while SJ explores the tension between creative ambition and grown-up reality. It’s a messy and sweet conversation between two very different sisters in very similar seasons of life.

    The Homeschool Years: Bible First, Math Maybe

    In this episode of MISSinformed, Beth and SJ crack open their childhood notebooks to talk all things homeschool — the idyllic mornings, the Bible-based everything, the handmade outfits, and the moments that didn’t age so well. They share what it was like to grow up in a conservative Christian family where public school was “too secular,” math was optional, and your siblings were your classmates. From sweet memories of sibling playtime and reward charts to real talk about isolation, academic gaps, and being wildly unprepared for public school, this one’s got it all. Whether you were homeschooled or just curious what goes on in those 15-passenger vans, this episode is for you.

  7. Diagnosed & Misdiagnosed: The ADHD (and Maybe Autism?) Journey

    Diagnosed & Misdiagnosed: The ADHD (and Maybe Autism?) Journey

    In this episode of MissInformed, sisters SJ and Beth share their personal and often hilarious journeys through misdiagnoses, missed diagnoses, and finally discovering ADHD (and maybe autism, too). From bipolar labels and broken assessments to stimming feet and biker gang leadership at age three, they unpack how neurodivergence shaped their childhoods, relationships, and daily coping strategies—often mislabeled as “lazy,” “quiet,” or “bossy.” It’s tender, sharp, and deeply validating for anyone who ever felt like they were “too much” or “not enough.” Plus: why your pile of stuff deserves a basket and how TikTok might know you better than your psychologist.

Whether it’s faith, feminism, finances, or fruit snacks—nothing’s off-limits. Come for the hot takes, stay for the sisterhood.
