This week we're covering a little bit of everything. I'm still waiting on Natalia's feedback about the solo podcast, sharing my latest mission to elevate my vocabulary and cut back on filler words, and discussing why men continue to win the award for pointing out the painfully obvious.

I'm also getting ready to head back to Colorado to celebrate my grandpa's 90th birthday, talking through a purchase I've basically already decided to make, and unpacking why so many millennials seem to be embracing minimalism these days.

Plus, Solidcore auditions are finally happening, and I need your best scheduling, to-do list, and productivity tips because I'm determined to get my life organized.

As always, expect opinions, oversharing, and at least one unnecessary spiral.

Welcome to Charm + Chaos, where overthinking meets good taste.

This isn't a gossip podcast and it's definitely not a news show. Think of it more like catching up with a friend over cocktails. Every week, I'll be sharing life updates, the stories behind the chaos, what's been on my mind lately, and all the TV shows, pop culture moments, and random obsessions I can't stop talking about.

From the reason I started podcasting in the first place to navigating life, work, friendships, and everything in between, nothing is off limits. Some episodes will be funny, some will be thoughtful, and most will probably be a little unhinged.

So grab a drink, get comfortable, and join me for honest conversations, hot takes, and the occasional spiral.

Welcome to Charm + Chaos.

In this episode, we discuss how your sushi order evolves the same way your coffee order does, and why ordering a Frappuccino should not legally qualify as drinking coffee.

We also talk about our new favorite juice place, our ongoing attempts to eat healthier, and Natalia’s uncontrollable urge to donate literally everything — including things that make absolutely no sense, like a pen cap without the pen.

Along the way, we unpack diet culture, reveal that Victoria’s nail tech fully thinks her name is Sophia, and somehow end up discussing the fact that Victoria hired an Etsy witch.

It’s chaotic, oddly wellness-focused, and full of conversations that probably shouldn’t connect… but somehow do.

In this episode, we start off by addressing the fact that Chris stole our light, which somehow spirals into Victoria being sick and the ongoing debate of allergies vs. no allergies. We also discuss Ava being allergic to Layton’s cat and dive into the cleanliness debate of cats vs. dogs.

From there, we revisit our collective tanning salon horror stories, reminisce on the golden era of MySpace (which Ava deeply wishes she got to experience), and flash back to the emotional support accessory that was the OtterBox case.

We also get into love languages, admit that we fully ditched Natalia at an Easter egg hunt, and end on an important note: if we’re talking shit… chances are we’ve already said it directly to the person.

It’s chaotic, nostalgic, and slightly concerning in the best way.

In this episode, we kick things off with a full Natalia vent session, which naturally leads into Victoria still not recovering from Natalia insulting her hair. Some things just stick with you.

We also celebrate our maintenance team’s birthday month with discussions about the superior type of leche cake, gossip with our maintenance staff like it’s our second job, and talk about Ava signing up for a 2-week rowing class that may or may not humble her immediately.

And finally, we confess to getting Taco Bell on Cinco de Mayo. Are we disappointed in ourselves? Yes. Would we absolutely do it again? Also yes.

It’s chaotic, dramatic, and full of workplace gossip the way nature intended.

In this episode, we’re breaking down and rating the Met Gala 2026 looks — from the outfits we absolutely loved to the ones that left us confused, concerned, or personally offended.

We give our completely unqualified opinions on the best dressed, the most questionable fashion choices, and the looks we’ll probably still be thinking about next week. As expected, the judging is harsh, the opinions are strong, and the fashion commentary is very serious to us.

Tune in for hot takes, dramatic reactions, and our attempt at becoming temporary fashion critics.

In this episode, we’re joined by two very special guests — Mama G and Kyle — for a chaotic, funny, and surprisingly deep conversation.

We get into the highly anticipated Devil Wears Prada 2, break down our own fashion journeys and style eras, and hear opinions from every angle (some more helpful than others).

Of course, it wouldn’t be us without a little structure — so we end the episode by revisiting our mental health disclaimer, since May is Mental Health Awareness Month and we continue to touch on topics related to mental health and suicide. If you or someone you know is struggling, you can call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, for support 24/7.

We have a very special guest this episode — Mama G joins the pod, and she does not disappoint.

We get into everything from astrology and how it actually explains more than we’d like to admit, to birth order and how it shapes who you become. Mama G also takes us through her many New York trips, with stories and insights that only she can deliver.

And just when you think it couldn’t get better, she teases a book she’s currently writing, giving us a glimpse into what might be coming next.

It’s fun, insightful, and full of personality — Mama G truly steals the show.

In this episode, we get into all the important debates — starting with athleisure and whether it’s acceptable as a full-time lifestyle (our answer: yes).

Ava shares the story of her first tampon, which naturally leads into a breakdown of calories: girl math edition, where the numbers may or may not actually matter.

We also unpack the fact that Ava still somehow doesn’t fully know where she’s working, debate side part vs. middle part, and ask the ultimate question: brunch or no brunch?

It’s chaotic, slightly concerning, and full of opinions that we stand by… for now.

In this episode, we cover everything from a chaotic wisdom teeth story to our ongoing sleep struggles — including the absolute horror of sleep paralysis.

We also attempt to talk about getting organized (key word: attempt), recap the Sephora sale, and call out the very real phenomenon of adults not cooking after grocery shopping.

And finally, we address one of life’s biggest annoyances: falling asleep during a TV show and having no idea where you left off — which honestly feels like rage bait at this point.

It’s relatable, slightly unhinged, and full of the everyday struggles no one really prepares you for.
