Be Easy Life

Welcome to Season Three of the Be Easy Life podcast!

It’s been about two months since our last episode, and in that time, we’ve had a lot of new adventures and big life changes asking for our attention before we were ready to hit record again.

In this episode, we’re catching up on where we’ve been and easing into what’s ahead. We talk about recent shifts in our lives and share a preview of what we have planned this season, both on the podcast and within our Be Easy community.

Expect episodes about life with kittens, moving out of victim mentality, making friends as adults, our childfree decision, grief and loss, what comes after adult braces, differences in perception, and the idea that people really can change.

We’re glad to be back, excited to share what’s been unfolding, and looking forward to where this next chapter takes us.

You’ve seen them. You know them.
You might love them… or they might make you cringe a little.

We’re talking about classic Christmas movie tropes — from the big-city woman with the fancy job who heads to a small town and falls in love, to the precocious kid who somehow knows everything before the adults do, and all the familiar themes in between.

Using the same draft format as our last episode (Christmas Movie Draft), we go back and forth choosing our favorite (and most unavoidable) holiday tropes, building the ultimate made-for-TV Christmas movie as we go.

By the end, we each had a surprisingly solid holiday film on our hands — one we’re pretty sure already exists somewhere in the Christmas movie universe.

A fun, festive listen for anyone who’s ever said, “Wait… haven’t I seen this before?” And yes, there’s more Christmas coming soon. 🎄✨

We love Christmas!! Enough to kick off our holiday series with a full-on Christmas Movie Draft. 

In this one, we each drafted eight holiday movies (no overlap allowed), choosing the films that feel the most loved, nostalgic, and treasured to us. Things got competitive quickly, and there were a few truly tragic moments when one of us snagged a favorite before the other could. 

We drafted across four categories: 

• Classic Classics 

• Millennial Core / Modern Classics 

• New Wave / Holiday Renaissance 

• Animated / Kids 

There were surprises, strong opinions, deep nostalgia, and plenty of laughing at ourselves along the way. It’s festive, slightly spicy, and maybe a little unhinged.

From kittens and Christmas trees to podcast fans and Patreon plans, this episode is a cozy catch-up on everything we’ve been up to lately.

With Spotify Wrapped dropping this week, we were overjoyed to discover that our podcast has a few Top Fans (besides Kat), and we’d love to know who you are! Perhaps you'll join us on our soon-to-be-upgraded Patreon community, where we have plans to create our own little pocket of the internet to grow the Be Easy Life fam.

Come 2026, we’ll have a few new additions to our life: KITTENS!! We tell the story of how our new Be Easy babies found us, the joy (and chaos) they’re about to bring, and how excited we are to invite them into the fold.

We also touch on our mellow Thanksgiving, Kat's recent Face Freedom 101 webinars, an update on Dr. Ryan's broken toe, and our plans to get and decorate a Christmas tree (spoiler alert: we got one after the recording and it's the most gorgeous tree ever). 

All in all, this was a fun, lighthearted moment to pause, reflect, and hang out before our upcoming Christmas episodes drop.

To wrap up our ten-year wedding anniversary series, we each made a Top Ten list — our favorite memories, moments, and magic from twelve years together.

The twist? We didn’t share our lists with each other until we hit record. From big trips and unexpected milestones to the tiny things that make daily life feel like ours, there were a few surprises… and a whole lot of overlap.

It’s a lighthearted look back at the last decade of us — where we’ve been, what we treasure, and what’s coming next.

🎶 Want to come along for the ride?
Road trips made both of our Top Ten lists, so of course we had to share the soundtrack.
Check out our Road Trip Jams playlist!

Keeping with our ten-year wedding anniversary theme, we’re sharing the top ten truths that have shaped our relationship over the last decade. From the importance of communication and kindness, to celebrating the small stuff and remembering that “being easy” applies to marriage too, these are the things we’ve learned (and keep learning).

Here are a few of our favorites:
 💬 Communicate — ask for what you need and actually listen to the answer.
 🎉 Celebrate — the wins, the weirdness, and the tiny moments in between.
 🕊️ Be kind — especially when it’s not easy.
 🌱 Keep growing — together and separately.
 🫶 And always… be easy — with your partner, with life, with yourself.

It’s not a how-to list — it’s our Be Easy Life love-in-progress. The kind that keeps evolving, laughing, and choosing each other through it all.

Ten years married, and we're still finding new ways to celebrate ourselves, our love, and the life we’ve built.

We share how we marked our 10-year anniversary: a brunch with some of our favorite people, surrounded by pieces of our wedding day, laughter, and stories that reminded us how far we’ve come.

Then we dive into our own celebration: a two-day Halloween rave filled with music, movement, and pure, ridiculous joy. From Dr. Ryan dancing with a broken toe to the moment that had Kat sobbing on the dance floor (in the best way), it was everything messy and magical about being alive — and in love.

Here's our reminder to celebrate yourself, invite others into your joy, and be unapologetically you... no matter how weird, wild, or sweaty it gets.

Ten years ago, we said “I do”... and what a ride it’s been!

In this episode, we look back at our wedding day: how we planned it (long before we were even engaged), the cosmic astrology deep dive that determined the date, and the wild year that included opening two businesses and planning a wedding from 1,000 miles away.

We share the little things that made it extra special, the surprises we’ll never forget, and the moments that remind us why the imperfect parts always make the best memories. From writing our ceremony script with our officiant (aka Kat's brother) to Dr. Ryan yelling his vows, to Kat hula hooping in a wedding dress, this episode captures the joy, chaos, and beauty of that day.

Mostly, it’s a love letter to the day that started it all, and a reminder that when things don’t go as planned, the only thing that really matters is the love you’re celebrating.

🎶 Want to set the vibe while you listen? Here’s our wedding day playlist
— the soundtrack to one of the best days of our lives.

It’s funny how often we think a new place, job, or chapter will make us someone new — or hope that a change of scenery will shift something inside. But somehow, we always end up right there with ourselves. External shifts might bring fresh perspective, but they don’t replace the work of actually discovering who we are.

We explore what happens when we stop trying to escape ourselves and start moving closer instead. From haircuts and heartbreaks to big leaps and small choices that bring us face to face with the person we’ve always been becoming.

It’s about learning to meet yourself again and again, to keep showing up, and to remember that the only constant in every chapter of your life… is you.

The pod’s been poppin’ off lately! After hitting 1,000 downloads and receiving some beautiful feedback this week, we sat down to reflect on our podcast journey — both on and off the mic.

We share how the podcast vision started, what it felt like to record those first few episodes, and how much we’ve grown by listening to ourselves (literally). Then we dive deep into authenticity — why it matters, how we aim to embody it on the show, and how trying to fit a mold can rob us of our unique light.

We also get into the vulnerability of showing up "in public," even though it often feels like we’re just talking to each other. Plus, why creating a true Be Easy community (like the squad we’re building on Patreon) is so important to us: a movement of people lifting each other (and the world) up.

Join us for this episode full of gratitude, reflection, and a look at where this little pod of ours might go next.
