Help a Girl Out

Katie fills us in on her ankle injury while Rach reminisces on the great leg cramp of 2019. Then Rach shines a light on her fabulous quarantine and traveling adventures, breaking her silence on the cute crusty eye and bubble bath cut short that completed her attractive isolation appearance. We Help a Girl Out with a few tips on staying healthy, sane and sexy during lockdown.

Wow, just when you thought it couldn't get any weirder...it does. After a whirlwind month, Rach and Katie continue catching up, but the conversation gets a little wild when Love Island, duvet covers, crackling candles, Biscoff cookies (or Biscotti, if you prefer) come up. Then we head down the incredible road that is our relationship with wine tours. We reveal the ones that got away (cough cough Morgan and Jamie) and introduce you to the man, the myth, the legend...Trevor. If you're into wine, making fun of your friends (in a loving way of course!), or buying awkward holiday gifts for your loved ones, then you're in for a treat.

Rachael and Katie are ready to take you on a wild ride of funny/embarrassing/awkward/casual moments with a little bit of life, love, travel and wine tour advice thrown in along the way!

Hi lovers! Your main girls are back after a wild month of work, travel, family time and wedding planning. This is a random hot mess covering a range of topics including but not limited to: childhood diets (what?!), childhood dancing (again please no), Rachael's past obsessive personality (hello Justin Bieber and Big Time Rush) and Katie's struggle to care about anything more than writing impassioned pleas to big corporations through customer feedback surveys. Join us for this wild ride and Help a Girl Out by sharing your tips for dealing with tricky customer service situations.

Rachael reveals the story behind her being called a....you guessed it...KAREN. All she was trying to do was defend someone from social media bullies!!!  This leads Rach and Katie to discuss the spiral that is social media and judgmental, rude peeps, although Katie goes in another direction entirely and starts talking about pigs?! Yeah we don't know either. It's a random, wild ride with a few signature awkward and embarrassing moments from yours truly.

Rach and Katie welcome artist Elena Russu to the show, as she helps a girl out with her amazing artistic advice and insights. Elena teaches us about the meaning of colors, the perfect light for landscapes and what it takes to pursue a passion for art. Of course, she also lets us wine lovers in on a few secrets about Moldova's wine and culture. Plus, we learn about Rach's art competition with Nick and Katie's sculpture of her mom's head (yes, you read that correctly: mom's head). Check out Elena on Instagram and support her beautiful work: https://www.instagram.com/sunnycolors_art/

Rach and Katie put some top dating questions to the test, quizzing each other and offering ideas to get the conversation flowing the next time a first date seems stuck in a rut. This discussion includes references to tweed, Dragon Tales velcro shoes, and of course, everything that goes down in the DM's. If you're looking for inspiration for the dating scene or even just meeting new friends, these questions are 100% approved by Help a Girl Out and should give you a better idea of if you can see a future with someone or if you need to run for the hills.

We're back with Part II of our crossover with Caroline and Eric from Social Distancing Podcast. Today we put Eric in the hot seat and pepper him with questions about guys, why they do the things they do and what they really think of the leading ladies in their lives. Tune in as Eric shines a light on the silent treatment and bro code - how far do you go to keep a secret for a friend? We also make Eric get sappy and reveal his favorite things about his sweet Caroline.

We welcome Caroline and Eric from the Social Distancing Podcast for a super fun crossover, which mainly consists of us comparing the East Coast to the Midwest and hearing about Eric's smooth pick-up moves. We chat about Aussie slang, age differences in dating and karaoke stardom. Plus, Eric, a self-proclaimed master mixologist, gives us the low-down on placing a cool and confident bar order. Part II is up next, where we put Eric in the hot seat in front of his girlfriend to tell us what guys really think about our wonderful womanly ways!

It's all good to have a bucket list, but what about its alter ego - the anti-bucket list? Rach and Katie discuss the top eight items on their anti-bucket list that they never need to do ever again (or try for the first time). After all, embracing new things is great but you gotta draw the line somewhere and find a balance between pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and staying true to who you are. This episode contains discussions of scary rides, freaky food and being in charge of a country (#notinterested).
