We’re knee-deep in life decisions, so join us in Central Park as we give ourselves advice on self-doubt, the weight of prioritizing others’ opinions, and the line between trust and belief. Plus—did Hailey’s trust in herself bring her closer or farther from a suspiciously named Airbnb? Listen to find out.

In part two of our conversation with Audrey Laine, we continue drawing from Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way—diving into the magic of meaningful coincidences, ie. synchronicity, sharing personal stories of creative transformation, and leaning into intuition and new artistic outlets. Plus, an unexpected detour into avant-garde performance art and elaborate hoaxes…

A renaissance woman (we’ll explain) and dear friend, Audrey Laine, joins us this week for a conversation inspired by Julia Cameron’s The Artist's Way. We scratch the surface of how to break free from the 'tortured artist' trope, the necessity of collaboration, and what redefining spirituality looks like to us at this point in our lives—plus a nostalgic detour courtesy of Vine.

[Friends S1E3] This is the one where we call Hailey’s mom to get the truth about the dogs, reflect on how new relationships shake up tight-knit groups, and talk through the challenges of breaking bad habits—all with IYCTL’s very own editor in chief, Kay Prescott.

This week, we’re hitting rewind and giving you unfiltered access to our personal voicemails—the accidental time capsules of our lives. From first boyfriends and best friends to heartfelt messages from our family members, we’re exploring how these little audio relics still manage to tug at our heartstrings. Also: does absence actually make the heart grow fonder, or are we just romanticizing bad reception?

You know her, you love her—Frenchie is back for more as we dive into the curious ways identity forms, from semi-secretly singing the National Anthem to the character in a name. We chat about French’s unbridled free will, the grounding act of picking up horse-shit, and all the humbling, hilarious moments that remind us to stay centered while juggling the many selves we carry through work, life, and everything in between.

This week’s guest is so fabulous, we had to split the episode into two parts! Sophia’s roommate, Frenchie, joins us to share the story of their serendipitous living situation, wild skydiving adventures, and the surprising wisdom found in both Burning Man and middle school morning announcements. We also unpack the idea of balance—work-life and beyond—and explore how we navigate the dualities within us all.

[Friends S1E2] This is the one where we immediately hype each other up, tell tales of awkward run-ins with exes and pregnancy scares, and are assigned honorary siblings thanks to the talented and equally hilarious, Brooke Sessler.

Unthawing is the same as freezing? Either way… today we're exploring the cycle of freezing and thawing (aka getting stuck and unstuck) both metaphorically and literally. Peep our references to Lauryn Hill and Jay Shetty as we dive into decision paralysis, the slow-nature of a freeze, and how embracing flow can lead to more fulfilling days (plus, the simple joy of a coffee & a half).

Our second guest is our dear friend, Mattson Pearce-Williams! He and Sophia were each other’s first true NY roommates for three years during their undergrad, at which point he met Hailey. Mattson is a head-turning dancer/performer who simultaneously assists multiple brands & designers with his passion for art and aesthetics. Listen as we reflect on how we each speak love a little differently (via our results from The Love Language® Quiz) and on how we believe knowing the ways we give and receive love opens us to greater compatibility and connection.
