This week on Cousin Closet, Maddy and Emily begin by addressing the current state of our country and the world at large; touching on the importance of advocacy and their hope to create a platform centered on allyship, while also providing a sliver of joy in their listeners’ days. Emily then goes on to address her dog’s urgent diarrhea and the girls make a quick pivot to show off their New Year’s Eve-themed outfits: Maddy leaning into her sexy Grinch era and Emily embracing a classic closet staple. They begin to touch on their AuDHD and Maddy lets us in on her withdrawals from SLOMW.

Together, they unpack their hopes for 2026. Emily opens up about her unexpected divorce and her journey toward finding her way back to herself, and Maddy shares her desire to shine and fully embrace her outgoing, people-oriented self again. Together, they look ahead at how this podcast will hopefully help them achieve their goals in 2026. Enjoy!
