Wine + Women: A No-Judgment Discussion
A few weeks ago, Emily led a discussion on her Substack that got . . . well, a little attention. It was about alcohol—the expectations we have around it, the “wine mommy” marketing, what we use it for (to celebrate, to cope) and how that might change (or not!) moving forward. There were so many thoughtful conversations in the comments, Emily thought, Why not ask my own Simplified women about this? She brought Liz and Laura in for their takes around some scientific research and their own personal experience. There aren’t any big prescriptions or takeaways here—just some interesting observations.
***A note as you listen today: please know this is a judgment-free zone. This topic has a lot of different angles. You may even have strong feelings about what we talk about. That’s okay! Life is filled with things that aren’t black and white. It’s filled with lots and lots of gray. That’s something we’re getting more comfortable with as we get older.

Let Go of Mom Guilt + Fill Your Well (with Ashlee Gadd)
“I cannot show up to be the mom I want to be for Bennett if I don't show up for myself,” says co-host Liz. But when you have so many things pulling at your attention—your kids, your work, your partner, your family and friends—how *do* you find time to show up for yourself?
Ashlee Gadd, found of Coffee + Crumbs, knows this struggle all too well. Ashlee talks with new mama Liz about how she learned to let go of the guilt of not doing it all perfectly, and why pursuing what fills you up benefits everyone around you (especially your kids!). For anyone who pours their time into their children, their work, or any other important areas of their life, you'll find Ashlee's message so relatable—and see freeing.

So Many Thoughts on Royal Coronation Style (with Elizabeth Holmes)
🇬🇧 What we choose to wear communicates a message: What do we value? And how do we want to present ourselves to the world? This is *especially* true for the British Royal Family, says journalist Elizabeth Holmes. Elizabeth is the brilliant mind behind “So Many Thoughts,” a Substack and Instagram series where she breaks down the messages (and history!) behind what the Royals choose to wear. Ahead of King Charles III’s coronation, Emily and Elizabeth break down how Royal style has evolved over the past generation, why there’s a shortage on tiaras (seriously), and the secrets behind the most iconic looks worn by Diana, Kate, Meghan and more. Whether you’re a history buff, a fashionista or a Royal enthusiast, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!

Customer Reviews
Jesse!
Love her dinner and Aldi episodes. Funny clever and useful
Not good news
CaitlinJay88 expressed it so well. The original podcast was perfect. Just what I was looking for. I know this is a business but to me you have lost your original focus—life simplified. Your team is lovely but not what I signed up for. Unfortunately, they sound like Emily wannabes. Something is mIssing and I think it is the host and her original vision.
Is it time to get back to basics? So sorry.
Feels like a breakup
I loved Emily for years, absorbing her content across channels and mediums, implementing her strategies, and purchasing impactful products from Simplified or those she recommends elsewhere. I was a total fangirl. Unfortunately it feels like the brand is moving away from its simplicity focus - there’s excessive product pushes, collaborations, and 3rd party link promoting (how many Draper James dresses are best/favorite/necessary?!). Content requires subscriptions when Emily used to promote scaling back on subscriptions, and there are too many voices on an unfocused podcast (I can see adding 1 voice, but 3?!). It’s like becoming Emily’s version of an “it girl” has become more important than the original message that I loved and am craving. I am truly sad to lose my go-to resource for simplicity and grace-filled content, which used to positively impact how I approached my life.
