Hi cousins! This week, the theme is transformation — and we mean that in every sense of the word.

We kick things off with Emily's dating update (candidate number two and his shirt-off confidence. We are rooting for her). Maddy debuts a handmade top she's been saving for years, and Emily transforms from six-months-pregnant-looking to snatched, courtesy of a coffee enema. You're welcome.

Then we get into the main event: the mushroom trip. Back in November, Emily did psilocybin for the first time with Maddy, and learned shrooms are definitely not marijuana's cousin. They unpack the whole thing — purging, visuals, transformation, seeing the devil, etc., and what all of it had to say about sexuality, control, family wounds, and healing. They also talk about Maddy's Saturday trip and meeting a Lebanese artist at a garage sale who was basically sent from the universe. We can't explain it. Just listen.

Next week's theme: duality. See you there. Enjoy!!

Hi cousins! We’re back and coming in HOT with a breakdown of—you guessed it—the Enneagram. Also, we are officially on Apple Podcasts… but did just find out it might be in Dutch?? We have questions.

We jump in with outfit breakdowns inspired by “April showers bring May flowers,” and yes, we talk about our tits yet again. Maddy shares her desire to get her nipple pierced, but she’s concerned about the recovery time—something Emily will never understand as a proud member of the itty bitty titty committee.

As always, it’s a mix of chaos, vulnerability, and the kind of conversations that make you feel like part of our family. Enjoy!!

Hi cousins! Aries season is humping our brains and we are NOT complaining. This week Maddy and Emily are back with a full laundry list of things they've been holding in — and honestly, the girls had to dish.

We're talking: outfit breakdowns (Maddy reclaiming the corset she wore to Emily's Bachelorette party and Emily channeling a sexy version of the iconic red Sleepover dress), the impossible engineering of modern chip bags, why you need to watch Younger RIGHT NOW, and Emily's adventures in decoding the needs of her massage therapy clients.

We also get into Emily's dating era, Maddy's realizations about her own era journey, and the very real grief and joy of coming into yourself in your 30s.

Oh, and Emily has an announcement: she is the happiest she has ever been in her life. And we are BEAMING for her. Enjoy!!

Hello cousins!! Welcome to episode 9! We’re kicking things off with a little luck of the Irish (or Scottish?) energy — Emily bringing the pot of gold and Maddy repping a plaid layered look.

We’re back with another real one. This episode, we’re diving into chronic illness. And if anyone’s going to make this content actually funny, it’s us. Real talk, though, this episode comes straight from lived experience, and we hope it reaches anyone who can relate or knows someone who can. Come along for the ride and share with your people!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Welcome to Cousin Closet! This week, the girls are in their Stevie Nicks era. Emily glows in her follicular phase, and Maddy spirals through eternal PMS. They begin by giving some life updates, including Emily’s saga with the DMV and her new venture into the San Diego dating scene. 

As always, they unpack coming to terms with their identities and their personal growth, before getting into the heart of the episode: the reality of living life as extremely sensitive neurodivergent adults. Together they walk through some of the pains of AuDHD and the catharsis of accepting who they really are. 

Welcome back to the closet. This week, Maddy and Emily get right into the facts–they're feeling pretty blue, and not just because this week's outfit theme is Canadian tuxedoes. Em bitches about the realities of period pain made worse by her other health conditions, and Maddy, well, karma gave her shingles.

Together, they unpack what it feels like currently, trying to be okay when everything around them is begging them to crash out: health problems, international affairs, the current US administration, etc. They discuss the possible invention of a new device that could solve menstrual discomfort, shout out their first international listener, and talk about the holiness of female gossip. Enjoy!

Hi cousins! This week, Maddy and Emily introduce a new segment: UNDRESSED! The girls surprise each other with questions and cackle as they unpack their answers together and give you a closer look inside their brains.

But before that, they of course go through their laundry list items, including: Mercury going retrograde, Emily's most recent unfortunate incident, Hilary Duff's comeback, their experiences with IKEA bed frames, and somehow, even more?

Oh, and did we mention the theme for their outfits this week is clowns? Yeehaw.

This week on the pod, Maddy and Emily get into all things crushes. Starting with Emily’s ventures back into night life and how the girls spent Valentine’s Day. Maddy bursts Emily’s bubble by drawing attention to the holiday’s origin and together they unpack their love day-themed outfits. 

They talk about different kinds of crushes and the realization that limerence has taken over their lives. Both girls dive into their own experiences with crushes throughout their lives, and unpack whether or not they actually even liked these people. Enjoy! 

Welcome to Cousin Closet! Maddy and Emily jump right in and tackle their laundry lists—Maddy has a bone to pick with Utah coffee shops, and Emily discusses her childhood obsession with The Pacifier and her unspoken love for short, buff men. They unpack their sexy mermaid fits, starting with Maddy’s whimsical Greek-inspired Ariel and Emily’s sequin hot pants.

They waste no time and begin discussing Emily’s breakup—aka her divorce—this past year. She shares the ins and outs of the relationship, along with the takeaways and lessons she believes have shaped who she is today. She opens up about the sensitivity of the topic and why she feels it’s important to talk about it regardless.

Thanks for listening <3

This week on Cousin Closet, Maddy and Emily give the listeners an update on what life has looked like since they recorded episodes one and two. Of course, the girls first talk about their hatred for i.c.e. and the current administration as a whole, and touch on the responsibility that comes with their innate privilege.

They explain why they changed the theme for this week's outfits, what happened to the mermaid episode, and why dressing for their Scorpio Venus signs felt more resonant for this week's topic.

Maddy steps into a more vulnerable space as she sheds light on the recent major changes in her life, home, and relationship. She shares her feelings about the nuance of breakups and her desire to break the taboo that typically comes with acknowledging the endings of romantic relationships. Giddy up!
