In this episode, we're diving into the stories we’ve told ourselves — and the ones we’re rewriting. We're talking about the things we thought we couldn’t do, shouldn’t do, or never wanted to do… and how that changed.

We're flipping the script of our self-imposed limitations and we invite you to do the same.  

💭 What’s something you thought you couldn’t do... but did? And what did you learn in the process?

This week, we're talking about what happens when your best intentions smash face-first into real life. You had the vision, the plan, the map—then… a curveball. In this episode, Christa and Holly talk about the emotional (and physical!) whiplash of planning and attempting to be intentional and having it bite you in the ass 🪰. We adventure for many reasons, and this episode reminds us that we're rarely in charge of the outcome but how you respond is where all the juicy stuff happens. 

Grab your headphones and let’s reframe what it means to move forward when the universe is serving humble pie.

In Episode 7 of I Adore the Hell Outta You, we dive headfirst into the delicious disorientation of midlife. From restlessness and unexpected quiet to shedding stale identities and rediscovering long-lost dreams (hello, Peace Corps fantasy), we explore what it means to stand at the edge of what’s next—and jump or not. We read the tarot (Death card, of course), confess our love for things we're currently adoring, and pitch our most unhinged retreat idea yet (nude bushwhacking, anyone?). With humor, honesty, and curiosity, we invite you to wander with us into the weird, wild terrain of midlife milestones.

This week, we're talking growth edges—those thrilling, awkward, sweaty little moments where you stretch into something new. From Christa’s bodybuilding posing clinic to Holly’s solo nude yoga retreat, we’re dishing on what it feels like to say yes to discomfort and expansion. We get vulnerable about trying new things, needing community, and why Facebook feels like the final frontier.

Also featuring: friend first dates, camel toe mishaps, and a tarot card that made us tear up. We're diving into trying new things and why it feels so weird and totally worth it.

Welcome to a full-bodied episode where laughter meets your pelvic floor and themes on aging meets pickled cucumber. In this one, we ask: Is this real life? 

From the magic of middle-of-the-night colonoscopy prep to unexpected moments of childlike joy and full-grown awkwardness, Christa and Holly weave together the hilarious, the humbling, and the heartfelt. It’s aging, parenting, pelvic floor pain, and roadside mishaps—but also coffee with your parents, jazz in the grass, and the radical tenderness of summer care.

✨ Tarot Pull: Nine of Pentacles — abundance, intention, inheritance, and the gifts of tending to your life
 ✨ Themes:  Awkward doctor appointments, setting intentions for family visits, when you get what you didn't know you need, summer magic, family roles, and nurturing the body
 ✨ Cancer season is here: Tune into tenderness, care, and connection
 ✨ Vibe: Laughter, reflection, and a little vaginal physical therapy

What We’re Adoring:

• 🥒 Pickled cucumbers and onions on everything
• 🎧 Jenna Kutcher’s Goal Digger podcast
• 🧢 A sleek new running backpack
• 🎁 Betty’s Divine Boxes (aka Missoula magic in a bag)
• 💦 River dips, jazz concerts, and surprise giggles

Call to Action:
Got a pelvic floor story? An aging moment that made you laugh or cry? A summer ritual that makes you feel alive?
We want to hear it.

Welcome to our most salacious episode yet.

In this spicy, soulful, and totally real conversation, Christa and Holly dive headfirst into the buzz around Gen X women and midlife sex in the media and in bed. From tarot pulls to fairy porn, new dick to deep love, and spontaneous orgasms to frownies (yes, really), this episode explores what it means to embrace desire, identity, and embodiment in your 40s and beyond.

Inspired by recent articles from The New York Times and The Gloria, the hosts reflect on the Gen X sexual revolution—and ask whether it’s a real evolution or just a fantasy sold back to us with retinol.

Spoiler: it’s both.

Whether you’re having the best sex of your life, opting out altogether, or just wondering where your libido wandered off to, this episode holds space for all of it—with laughter, honesty, and a whole lot of curiosity.

🎧 Episode 2: Seriously, Why Is This So Hard?
Ever been totally paralyzed by a task or decision (big or small!!) Yeah, us too.

In this episode, we’re talking about the weird, sneaky kind of hard — the everyday stuff that can sneak in and steal your vibe. From "failed" family vacations and filing government paperwork to marketing ourselves and choosing our pleasures, we explore why seemingly simple things can drop us like drinking on a weeknight.

We unpack what’s underneath the resistance, the overthinking, the stuck-ness — and how trusting your intuition doesn’t always feel like ease. All we can do is laugh about it sometimes, let's commiserate.

Highlights include:
✨ Trusting your gut when your brain is panicking
✨ The 5-minute task that haunted Holly’s inbox for 3 months
✨ Christa’s internal debate about being too salacious
✨ NYT Cooking app, podcasts, and Florence Welch’s lyrical truth bombs
✨ And a PSA about tick season and Costco shopping on a weekend, obviously

🎙️ Episode 1: Things That Grow (Oops, It Grew Again)
Welcome to the very first episode of I Adore the Hell Outta You — the podcast where two longtime friends get real about life, womanhood, growing bodies, growing kids, and the weird, funny, and deeply tender moments in between.

In this episode, we kick things off with a tarot pull from our favorite deck — the Spirit of Pentacles — and talk about what it means to begin something new while honoring where we've been. Think: endings, beginnings, and the glorious mess in the middle.

We dig into growth in all its forms:
 🍑 From one host’s journey as a 47-year-old amateur bodybuilder trying to grow a “dumpy” (yes, we go there — and yes, it includes taco crotch and pants that no longer fit)…
 💇‍♀️ To the other’s reflections on hair as identity, middle school awkwardness, and why that tragic perm in seventh grade still deserves some love.
 🌱 We also explore the concept of growing out of things — ideas, pants, habits, even parenting phases — and how growth sometimes comes with unexpected discomfort, but also unexpected joy.

Segments include:

• Oops, I Did It Again: Tales of embarrassment, minor disasters, and the moments we’d usually try to hide.
• I Adore the Hell Outta This: A roundup of what we’re currently obsessed with — from lava lamps and astrology apps to life-changing pillows and collaborative Spotify playlists.
• Plus, a whole lot of laughter, honesty, and the kind of banter that feels like you’re sitting with your best friend on the couch, drink in hand.

We adore the hell outta you already — and we’d love to hear from you. Got a story about something that’s growing (or growing out of control)? Something you adore or totally botched? Email us! Details in the show notes.

So grab your headphones, pull your tarot card, and press play — let’s grow together. 💫
