Episode 11 is a hilariously raw and revealing journey through our dating escapades – from the confines of Christian expectations to the exhilarating freedom beyond church walls. Tune in as we unfold stories of first kisses (both abroad and with girls), navigate the complexities of purity culture, and relish the anonymity of dating in unfamiliar cities. This episode offers an unfiltered glimpse into love, transformative dating experiences, and the paths that led two of us to our forever people.

Hey, lovelies! We're back with Episode 10, and it's like your favorite cozy morning with your besties—but with way more tea. 🍵

We're kicking it off with our TV Tea segment, where our new PowerPoint is the real MVP—helping Halsey finally put faces to names (and all the drama) from this week's shows, including the newest season of Selling Sunset on Netflix. 🎬

Turning the pages in our Book Clurb, we're spilling where our bookmarks are sitting. 📚 Then snuggle up as we dive into the chilling world of 'Twin Flames' on Netflix—yup, we're going there.

So, grab your favorite mug (and maybe a blanket) because it's time to get comfy and real with us. It's like a slumber party for your ears, and everyone's invited. 🎧💤

Hey, friends. This episode is a heavy one, and we want to ensure you're fully prepared before diving in. We recommend finding a quiet space, away from kids and distractions, to be present with us for this episode.

All three of us have dug deep, sharing hard truths about our lives and the different traumas we've experienced. Unfortunately, for some of our stories, religion and spirituality are intertwined with significant abuse. It felt right to open up about much of our past in this episode for the first time.

Please use the skipper notes and trigger warnings provided below to protect your peace. While we're excited to be known more deeply by those who watch and listen to us, we understand that these experiences can be unpleasant to hear. We ask for your respect as sharing our stories was one of the scariest things we've ever done. We hope that if this episode helps even just one person in the world, we will have made the positive impact we've always dreamed of.

We might be getting the hang of this! Episode 4 is all about BODY TALK. Listen in as Bailey, Kelli, and Halsey dig deep together as they discuss their first "entree-style" discussion topic. In this episode, we're getting more vulnerable about our health and wellness journeys (and sometimes the lack thereof 😉). If you grew up in the US during the 90s and early 00s, many aspects of our experiences might resonate with you! Sink your teeth into this hearty plate of stories, lessons, and uplifting conversations. If you're watching this on YouTube, you get the treat to watch our new segment - TikTok of the Week! FYI - we removed this segment from the audio-only versions. We're reworking TTOTW in the future to include y'all. We want to be proactive in our trigger warnings, especially regarding sensitive topics like bodies. If topics about disordered eating, weight loss/weight gain, diets, body dysmorphia, and more are triggering, we encourage you to sit this one out OR use the handy-dandy skipper notes.
