  • Spooky, Scary Stuff: Episode 81

    Do you love to be scared?!?! From scary movies and haunted houses to ghost tours and all things spooky, we're diving into the things that give us chills this time of year.

    We're sharing our thoughts on all things creepy, talking about scary situations we've actually been in, and opening up about a few things that may have left some deep emotional scars. Somehow, what started as a conversation about spooky stuff turned into a full-on FREE THERAPY SESSION!

    So join us as we talk about what scares us, why we love it, and the creepy things that have stuck with us long after the fear wore off. You never know where this conversation might go!

  • Are We Having Fun?: Episode 80

    When was the last time you did something simply because it was FUN? No responsibilities, no productivity goals, no ulterior motive. Just fun! As adults, we're juggling a million responsibilities, checking off endless to-do lists, and sometimes forgetting that fun is actually a pretty important part of life.

    In this episode, we're talking about: What we consider fun now versus what we loved in our 20s. Playing Fun or Not — because let's be honest, not everything people call fun is actually fun! Surprising survey statistics about how little fun adults are having and why we might need to change that.

    So, when did fun become something we have to schedule instead of something we just DO? Tune in, join the conversation, and let's make room for more fun! Because adulthood is hard enough. We might as well enjoy it.

  • Things We're Still Figuring Out: Episode 79

    We have questions. We have opinions. We have zero guarantee that we actually know what we're doing. From trying to figure out our hair and makeup (seriously, how is everyone else making it look so easy?!) to trying to loosen our grip on control, navigate middle school drama, raise humans who can figure things out for themselves, and grow a business without losing our minds—we're realizing there's still A LOT we're figuring out. And maybe that's okay. We're learning, laughing, questioning, letting go, and chasing the spark as we go. And in this episode, we're inviting you into the conversation.

  • What Makes A "Good" Workday? : Episode 78

    What actually makes a good workday?

    We've all had the days where one email sends us into a spiral, the to-do list feels never-ending, and by 3 p.m. we're questioning every life choice that led us to our desk. But what about the days that just… feel good? Heather and Katie are breaking down the little things that can turn an ordinary workday into a great one. Is it the satisfaction of writing out your tasks and dramatically crumpling up that sticky note when they're DONE? Is it collaborating with a colleague and having one of those conversations where everything just clicks? Maybe it's having the flexibility to structure your time, doing something different every day, or simply being surrounded by the right people.

    We're talking about the small moments, experiences, and interactions that give us energy at work—and how sometimes, it's not the big wins that make a day great. It's the little sparks along the way.

  • The Ebb & Flow of Ambition: Episode 74

    What if ambition isn't something you either have or don't—it comes in seasons? Katie and Heather get real about the seasons when we're chasing the promotion, the paycheck, and the next big thing…and the seasons when we're craving more sleep, flexibility, family time, or simply room to breathe. Join us as we unpack why our ambition changes, what that really means, and why you don't have to feel guilty for wanting something different right now. If you've ever wondered, "What happened to my drive?"—you'll want to listen to this one.

  • Would You Rather...Sister Edition: Episode 73

    Katie and Heather are putting our sisterly knowledge to the test with a hilarious game of Would You Rather: Sister Edition!

    We take turns asking each other ridiculous, random, and downright impossible questions—and there's a twist: before the other person answers, we have to guess what she'll choose! How well do we really know each other? Let's just say there are plenty of laughs, silly stories, unexpected answers, and a few "I KNEW you were going to say that!" moments along the way. It's lighthearted, ridiculous, and a whole lot of fun. So hit play, play along with us, and see if you can guess our answers before we reveal them!
