In this episode, we share 26 things we’ve learned by 26 — lessons and realizations collected unpredictably, intentionally, and sometimes the hard way. From relationships and purpose to personal growth, happiness, and long-term vision, the list we curated is full of what we both believe matters most. It’s raw, reflective, and meant to feel like a letter to our younger selves (or maybe even our current selves). Whether you’re navigating dating, motherhood, career, or working on protecting your peace, we hope something in here resonates. From why you should sometimes drop $40 on a pedicab, to how the 80/20 rule might actually be the key to everything (mental health, money, love—you name it), this one’s got range. We hope you connect with at least one of the things we ramble on about—and if you do, let us know what you think.

In this episode, we dive into the emerging identity of the Generalist Woman — a multifaceted, adaptable archetype reshaping modern femininity. From motherhood and dating to cultural pressures and workforce shifts, we explore what it means to reject extremes, embrace nuance, and move through life with intention. We chat about the narratives of the “trad wife” vs. “girlboss,” unpack the enshittification of social media, and rejoice in the beauty of being uncategorized. From attachment styles and suburbia to porn, childcare, and strategies to keeping your cup/s full — this entire topic holds such a special place in our hearts. We hope you friends find some good food for thought in this. <3

In honor of 2024 coming to a close, we’re taking a moment to give it the send-off it deserves. There were so many pivotal moments that have set the stage for us to step into 2025 with a more optimistic outlook. This week, we’re mapping out our vision for the next several years, starting with 2025: lots of gold, color, quiet luxury, and a cultural renaissance filled with intentionality and even more breakthroughs. We’re hoping to see a massive resurgence in timeless art, prioritizing strong relationships, vibrant third spaces, and even meet-cutes while ditching corrupt capitalism, living in autopilot, digital enslavement, and dating apps. We share some musings on the recent political calm, eagerly wanting a modern renaissance, and why authenticity is everything. The Golden Age isn’t a far-off dream—it’s within our grasp… but it’s on us to take the reins, step up, and do the work to create the world we want to live in. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! See you all in 2025!

October surprises? You bet. But how about what’s the one event that constitutes this year’s infamous “October Surprise”. First up, Hurricane Helene – totally normal, right? Or was there maybe a little “weather weaponization” at play? Then, Hollywood delivers yet another surprisingly unsurprising scandal, with P. Diddy front and center. And as if things weren’t spicy enough, Kanye’s back on the scene, doing Kanye things, of course. Join us in this episode as we unravel some of the October chaos, from shady disaster management to more Hollywood underbelly, just in time for the final stretch leading up to the election. It’s about to get interesting… but you already know that.

Hurricane Relief Resources:

60% of Americans have a chronic disease.

18% of Americans struggle with depression.

50% of Americans are chronically obese.

1 in 36 children have Autism.

11% of women and 9% of men experience infertility.

On average, US children spend only 4-7 minutes daily doing unconstructed play.

Conclusion: We are a very sick nation with a major health crisis.

Solution: Make America Healthy Again. (aka MAHA)

What is it? Well, it's exactly what it sounds like. It’s about taking the poison out of foods, cleaning up our water, ending chronic disease, restoring our soil, and preserving our environment for us and future generations.

It’s clear America has a deep and systemic health crisis. It’s entangled in the corrupt corporate greed of Big Pharma, Big Ag, Insurance agencies, and ultimately, our government. The same people who work for many agencies like the FDA that exist to conduct safety testing and regulate our food end up going to work for the same drug and food companies they are supposed to regulate. And when you travel outside the US, it is easy to see they do not have these problems at the levels we do in the US.

RFK Jr. happens to be the face of the MAHA movement, whose primary goal is to end chronic disease in America but restore our soils, clean up our water, and take out the chemicals in our food…just to name a few. Who is he, you may ask? He’s JFK's nephew, a famous environmental attorney who decorated his life with cleaning up the Hudson River, seeing Big Oil, polluters, and Big Pharma in defense of the little guys (like those who are harmed on a daily basis from these chemicals).

Join us in this episode as we chat about some high-level information we’ve dug up surrounding the current health crisis and what we can do to Make America Healthy Again and end these medical loops so many Americans find themselves trapped within.

As we predicted in our previous episode, this would be a summer of black swan events, one after another. And, well, some may have been easier to guess than others. Biden's "stepping down" (aka good ole Nancy gave him a little convincing talk that it was time to retire... in reality, it was probably a coup) was a given. However, Americana summer turning into Brat summer was not something on our bingo card. Tune in to hear our reactions to the recent black swan events in the past month, everything from the assassination attempt and brat summer, the 2024 Olympics, to everything in between. Cheers!

It’s looking like an Americana Summer & we are all here for it. If 2024 is the feature film, 2020 was the trailer. And although we may know some of the possible plot points, we have zero way of fully telling what’s in store this season with all the twists & turns that have happened & are yet to come as the year continues.

Tune in this week to hear our thoughts on what has happened thus far & predictions of what is to come in these upcoming weeks.

(Note: this was recorded before the assassination attempt on President Trump)
