    Did Y'all Donate Grandma to Goodwill?

    In this feel-good, full-heart episode, Emily and Lily catch up on all the behind-the-scenes fun of podcast life—spilling just enough tea about upcoming projects, unforgettable guests, and the chaos that keeps things interesting. They share sweet (and slightly unhinged) stories about parenting, pets parenting, food obsessions, and their mutual love for music, crafting, and fall traditions. Think Halloween plans, cozy vibes, and a very serious discussion about snacks. There’s also a little real talk—about relationships, communication mishaps (why won’t they just call back?), and learning how to stay soft and strong through life’s curveballs. It’s playful, personal, and packed with laughs, big sister energy, and just enough inspiration to make you want to start your own side hustle by the end. Come for the vibes, stay for the voice memos.

    Guest Episode: Hi, Y'all! It's Catherine Ann Herrington Davis!

    This week, we’re joined by the one and only Catherine Ann Herrington Davis of Hi, Y’all Made in the South—artist, entrepreneur, and Southern charm queen. Cat’s work captures the kind of joy-soaked nostalgia that feels like a front porch story, a bold lipstick, and a hug from home all rolled into one. We talk about how she built her brand from a late-night spark into a full-blown celebration of Southern culture—with all the grit, glitter, and grace that journey required. She opens up about creativity, community, and how saying yes to herself (even when it felt scary) made everything possible. Of course, it wouldn’t be an episode without our Ins and Outs, including a karaoke comeback, a chaotic margarita situation, and some very strong feelings about horror movies and party themes. It’s a conversation full of laughs, inspiration, and that big-hearted energy Cat brings to everything she does. Pour a drink, press play, and stay a while—this one’s special.

    Oversharing and Catching Vibes

    🎙️ Season Two Premiere The mics are on, the coffee’s poured, and the hosts are back for Season Two with an easygoing, heartfelt catch-up. They kick things off by reflecting on how they’ve grown since last season—sharing the highs, the learning curves, and the sometimes-scary feeling of putting yourself out there. The conversation wanders (in the best way) through everything from favorite TV shows and recent fashion finds to the charm of handwritten thank-you notes and why personal style feels more meaningful than ever. There’s a good mix of light and real—talking about health and wellness on campus, moments of loss, motherhood, and even the ongoing saga of trying to keep a garden alive. Sprinkled throughout are fun tangents about Star Wars love, garage sale treasures, cultural mishaps, and their go-to spots to eat in 30A. Oh—and if you’ve got a potluck coming up, they’ve got you covered with some tried-and-true tips. It’s cozy, honest, and full of the kind of laughter that happens when good friends get talking. A solid start to a new season.
