We sat down and chatted with the energetic, wonderful, and fun Sam Hirschmann Boskey. 

Sam is endlessly inspiring and just full of light and joy! She is a mother, an author, an actress, a breathwork teacher, and so much more.

We talk about everything from being a college athlete, to Sam’s early career in finance, to her switch to acting school and breathwork, and then we also dive into motherhood. We have a slight unexpected interruption to talk about Taylor and Travis (!) and then (as always) we conclude the episode by chatting about shopping and some of Sam’s favorite things. 

Follow Sam on instagram at @ SamMooves or on her substack Eat the Croissant.

New week, new obsessions… obviously. We’re chatting all things “cool water bottles”, the hunt for pants that actually work for fall, and of course a little ChatGPT sprinkled in because we’re all curious about when and how to use AI.

Maddie sat down with Neha Ruch of The Power Pause to talk ambition, identity, and why pressing pause on your career doesn’t mean losing your drive. From redefining success in motherhood to resisting the pressure to monetize every hobby, this one’s for anyone navigating a non-linear path.

We loved every second — and we think you will too.

In this feel-good catch-up, we chat about soaking in slow summer days with family, white t-shirts we are eyeing and buying, and the eternal struggle of finding pants that actually fit tall girls. We also give some job updates for both Maddie and Nan!  

It's light, it's personal, and it's packed with the kind of gems you didn't know you needed.

Maddie’s back from Europe and Nan’s back from the Hermès store (or really, just from shopping on Fashionphile!) — so naturally, we have a lot to catch up on this week.

We chat about traveling with a baby, recent purchases, trip highlights, Nan’s boldest buy yet and also a bit about social media, instagram vs. substack and more.

This week we sit down with your new favorite internet personality (and Maddie’s brother) @johnnyhilbrant.

Johnny is blowing up for his hilarious takes on the world of PE bros, but there’s more! We talk about Johnny’s surprising path to content creation, what he’s learned from going viral, and how he stays grounded while the internet eats it up.

Plus, a little sibling banter, some life advice, and reminders to stay present, even when you're busy building a brand.

We get real about body image, confidence, and why Katie Sturino continues to inspire us. We chat about GLP1, weight loss and more. Plus, a little banter about shopping highs, sizing woes, and that one necklace we can’t stop thinking about.
