    I Stopped Shaving 4 Years Ago... Here's What My Husband Thinks

    In this episode, we push back on the status quo—from building a custom family bed to co-sleeping work, to Kate opening up about what she’s stopped doing to please society (like shaving) and fully embracing aging, to be an example for our daughter. Tess might not have met her match from the podcast, but it did spark a fun night out with longtime friends—also single and ready to mingle—and led to a debate about “catching print”… which, surprisingly, has nothing to do with interior design. We also share the books we think should be required reading for every adult—Joey picks Leadership and Self-Deception https://tinyurl.com/4khe83m4 and Kate goes with Brave New World https://amzn.to/3OD8gbN. On the other side of the spectrum, our dark romantsy latest obsession is Chrysalis by B.B Reid.

    The Drama of The Dream House Continues...

    In this episode, we’re racing to finish our guest house before visitors arrive but an unexpected (and very unwanted) guest—mold—might just change everything. A caller sparks a conversation about the feng shui and Kate shares the rules she swears by to make a space feel as good as it looks—but things take a turn when Joey starts questioning her about the Somavedic under their bed… Meanwhile, Kate calls Joey out for not being the dating expert he claims to be, sharing a story from a movie they worked on together—where he somehow flew out a girl he wasn’t even that into… after starting a fling with someone from the costume department instead. Plus, we dive into family compounds—why they’re suddenly having a moment—get into books we had to DNF, and unpack the unexpected curveball Joey is currently reading.

Comment below!We also get into Emma Chamberlain's line with West Elm, along with answering a listener call-in about designing her dorm (or any small, renter-friendly space) with character.

    Getting Real about our Renovationship and Pinterest Death Spirals

    This week we’re sharing what we’ve learned the hard way from our four-year renovationship with our dream home (that Joey admits he might have ruined)… including what we’ve learned about when DIYing makes sense vs when it’s worth calling in the pros. Plus we’re diving into matrescence—the wild identity shift that comes with becoming a parent—along with brand bibles and our packing habits. Talk Dirty with Tess gets unexpectedly wholesome as we dive into our love for the Plated Prisonerseries—and the best advice Kate’s ever given her.

    We’re YouTubers... But Raising Screen-Free Kids & Why Getting Better Feels Like Failing

    This week, we’re talking about what it means to be YouTubers raising kids in a screen-free home, the tensions of working online while limiting screens offline, and how we try to stay on the creating-not-consuming side of technology. Plus, a very special guest (MY DAD) with firsthand experience raising a screen-free kid (ME!!) weighs in. We also get into creative resilience - why getting better can sometimes feel like failing, and why pushing through that feeling matters if you want to make anything meaningful over time. Along the way, we question the shift away from a 13-month calendar, talk periods, share a few DIY ways to bring new life to the art you already own, and ask one very important question: do men actually spend more time on the toilet?
