Pop the bubbly! 🥂 Taylor is joined by her friend Emily Wickles for a very last-minute, very unfiltered catch-up that somehow turns into a conversation about… basically everything.
We’re talking marathon training, running way too fast, workout classes, sneaker obsessions, habits, AI besties, motherhood, and the very real transition from city life to suburbia.
Emily shares how she went from thinking of running as punishment to training for the New York City Marathon, what she learned between her first and second marathons, and her biggest piece of advice for new runners: you’re probably running too fast.
Taylor and Emily also get into all the little things that come with becoming a runner — Garmin watches, watch rot (yes, apparently it’s a thing), Puma sneakers, carbon plates, stretching, cross-training, PT exercises, toe yoga, and learning that basically every muscle in your body is somehow connected.
Then, naturally, the conversation takes a turn. 😂
They chat about hot Pilates, reformer Pilates, SoulCycle, workout accountability, location sharing, Life360, parenting, kids’ personalities, and why daughters have a way of completely surprising you.
And because it’s 2026, we obviously need to discuss our relationship with AI, why people are literally naming their AI bots, and what happens when your AI starts calling you out.
Finally, they get into something so many women in their late 20s and 30s can relate to: the weird in-between of life transitions. Moving out of the city. Watching friends move at different speeds. Figuring out whether the suburbs suddenly sound… kind of amazing? And realizing that what you wanted a few years ago might not be what fits your life now.
It’s running advice meets girl talk meets an existential life chat — aka exactly what happens when two friends sit down with microphones and no real agenda. 🫧
