Gin and Chat with Lo and Nat

Grab your cocktails Chatties — it’s time to pregame! In this new episode of Gin & Chat with Lo & Nat, we’re cracking open the new flavor of Saint Spritz (our favorite canned cocktail) and getting properly lit for our first girls’ night in West Hollywood. Think cheeky chats, kitten heels on, and free flowing gin. 

Let’s chat about our little life updates: Lauren finally spills the tea on the deeply meaningful work she’s been doing with Straight Up Abilities, while Nat dishes all the details on her fresh new venture in artist development. We’re also getting real (and a little dramatic) about overstimulation in the dance industry and our loud, collective cry to return to simplicity. 

Of course we couldn’t resist a full juicy recap of The Devil Wears Prada 2 — because it was everything we dreamed of and then some. Expect a deep dive on our favorite moments as we bask in the nostalgia of the film.

Obviously we close it out with our signature Happy Hour Hot Takes — unfiltered, slightly unhinged, and served extra dirty.

So pull up a seat, pour yourself a cocktail, and let’s chat! This episode feels like your favorite kind of girls’ night: equal parts heart, humor, and dancing.

Pour yourself a drink chatties — the girls are officially reunited and entering our flirty, fun & thriving WEHO era! 🍸

We’re back together again and filming in our brand new apartment in West Hollywood. In this episode we’re spilling all the bubbly details on moving in together, embracing the girly chaos, and stepping into this next chapter feeling hotter and happier than ever.

We’re declaring that 28 is the new 22 — we’re still young and fun and ready to hit the town. From Lo getting back from Connecticut to Nat returning from her Hawaiian vacation , we’re catching up on everything. Plus, let’s debrief Nat’s casual recent flex: filming a TikTok with THE Nikki Glaser and popping up at a live American Idol taping.

We’re also keeping it real about how life isn’t that deep — sometimes you just gotta loosen up and have fun. And why having real friends who will hold you accountable and tell you the honest truth (even when it stings a little) is everything.

What does it really mean to embrace your single season in your 20s? In this solo episode of Gin & Chat, Lo gets real about breaking free from “serial girlfriend” patterns, rediscovering yourself, and letting go of desperate dating energy so you can attract the right partner—without losing who you are.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly chasing love, settling for less, or tying your worth to relationships, this episode is your reminder that the strongest relationships are built when you first learn to stand confidently on your own.

Lauren dives into the mindset shifts that helped her stop seeking validation externally and start building a deeper connection with herself—from understanding the difference between want vs. need to recognizing attachment vs. real love. 

This episode is all about stepping into your independence, raising your standards, and becoming someone who attracts—not chases.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to break the “serial dating” cycle
• Why self-discovery in your 20s is essential
• How to shift from chasing to attracting
• The difference between wanting a partner and needing one
• How to release desperate dating energy
• What healthy love actually looks like

Whether you’re currently single, healing, or just tired of repeating the same dating patterns, this chat will leave you feeling grounded, empowered, and ready to approach love from a completely different place.

You know we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to debrief Coachella 2026. Let’s chat about Nat’s experience going to weekend 1; the sets that hit different, the merch that made her laugh, her take on the Justin Bieber YouTube set, and the real tea behind the Coachella influencer events. 

We discuss living in the moment vs. curating it and finding the perfect balance between capturing content and experiencing life. Nat tells us how her name blew up in Alix Earle’s comment section while Lo reminds us of the time Blac Chyna left her a 1 star yelp review. 

But don’t worry we will still get deep because all roads lead back to mental health and we chat about the pursuit of excellence. Why do we sometimes hold ourselves back from our full potential? How do we stop playing small and actually go for it? Expect honest reflections, big sister advice, and our signature spark that leaves you feeling inspired and ready to level up.

Pour yourself a drink and let’s start the weekend by chatting about everything from toxic relationships to finding fulfillment through God. We are serving up the perfect mix of juicy reality TV drama, real-talk relationship vibes, and soul-stirring inspiration.

From the explosive Summer House scandal (yes, we’re diving into that Amanda, West, and Ciara love triangle mess that has the entire Bravoverse talking) all the way to how finding Jesus can bring ultimate joy and peace. Cheeky, honest, and uplifting — just how we like it.

We kick things off with our Little Life Updates, then spill the tea on the latest Summer House drama. From there, we get real about why insecure women can be scary because they’ll low-key try to steal your man! Then we dive into the messy truths of situationships, what it really means to be a girl’s girl, and how spirituality can lead you to deep, lasting joy. Of course we wrap it up with a Happy Hour Hot Take you won’t want to miss.

Whether you’re here for the Bravo breakdowns or the heart-centered chat that reminds you there’s more to life than the drama, this episode has something for you.

Happy Birthday to us Chatties we’re officially ONE YEAR OLD! We’re pouring the gin on our anniversary episode to celebrate a major commitment and emotional milestone.

What started as a fun idea over cocktails has grown into a full-blown passion project and successful business that’s connecting us with all of you — and we’re feeling nostalgic. 

In this special celebration we’re chatting about:

• Little Life Updates — we want you up to date on all things happening in our lives
• The power of consistency and how showing up for one whole year can completely change your life
• Nostalgic throwbacks to our favorite episodes and the biggest lessons we’ve learned building this business
• Our toughest challenges and the moments we almost quit (but didn’t)
• How we’re channeling Hannah Montana because “The Climb” is always worth it

Of course we’re closing it out with our signature Happy Hour Hot Takes and a special Happy Easter blessing because our one-year anniversary lands on Easter weekend. That’s absolutely biblical.

Let’s chat about FRIENDSHIPS — the good, the messy, the unexpected, and the ones that lift you higher than your favorite cocktail. We even take it back to where it all began… the start of our decade long friendship and the reason this podcast exists!

From giving you little life updates (Lauren being an East Coast pilates princess in Connecticut and Nat being her typical jet-setting self), to our trauma bonding origin story, we're keeping it real and relatable. We finally spill the tea on how our friendship began over shared trauma and turned two Chapman Dance Majors into ride-or-die best friends. We also get vulnerable about going through friendship breakups and how to cope with growing apart from people. The natural ebbs and flows of friendship, and why it’s so important to surround yourself with people who love you unconditionally.

If you’ve ever wondered when to let a friendship go, how to show up for your people, or just needed a reminder that your circle should feel like home… this one’s for you.

Cheers to 50 episodes of real, raw, and ridiculously relatable chats! 🍸 In this milestone episode, Gin & Chat us about the messy magic of modern day love, technology taking over the world, and why your dream man most likely isn’t hiding at XS Nightclub in Las Vegas (Ifykyk). 

Let’s Chat about:

• Curating your For You Page so it stops sabotaging your mindset
• Waymo self-driving cars, AI potentially taking over the world, and whether it's all scary or savvy
• Watching corn (you know what we mean) in relationships — why it might not belong in a healthy, sacred sex life
• Honoring your truth in the bedroom and beyond
• Letting go of your "type" on paper to open up to a real connection
• Projecting your past patterns and why healthy love feels uncomfortable at first — but that's exactly when the growth happens

We get deep on relearning how to love, trust, and adjust in a truly healthy relationship, because real connection isn't about checklists—it's about showing up authentically, even when it's uncomfortable and new.

Whether you're single and swiping, in a situationship, or leveling up your partnership, this episode is your uplifting reminder: Ditch the old scripts, honor what's sacred, and make space for the love you actually deserve.
