    Kathryn gives us the 411 on joining The League: online dating, matching with the right energy, it's a hell yes or it's a no, and where we fall on the black socks issue. A fun look at the Enneagram and how to use it the workplace. Calling all type 1s and type 3s! An in depth look at the baby formula shortage, how the pandemic, a shady monopoly and a bacteria strain have gotten us into this crisis, what moms are doing about it, and the obvious solution, well obvious to us.

    Follow us on Insta

    What we cover:

    Beauty update on all things Sculptra, brown spots remedies and and treating cellulite. We love Fintech but these point-of-sale loans marketing themselves as "budeting tools" - someone needs to pull back the curtain and educate Gen-Z on basic finance. And while we're at it, we just happen to have an entire curriculum for an Adult Academy mapped out right here. There is so much we need to teach our teens! At the end of the day Roe v. Wade is going to become a state issue. Pay attention to local government and reconsider California. Next week Kathryn reports back on her recents dates from The League dating app so don't miss it!

  • #12 - Johnny Depp, Amber Heard, John Mulaney, Carbon Credits, and Getting a Plan to Face this Financial Mess

    Follow us on Insta

    What we cover:

    We recap office politics, but more importantly we talk about how we actually want to take a break from talking about office politics. Kathryn pitches meditation one more time, touting a 3-hour span of completely focused work, and Lizzie promises to give it a try. CliffsNotes on the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial so you can try to decide if this is even real. You're welcome. John Mulaney, The Comeback Kid, is back again and his confident vulnerability really strikes us as genius. He's nailing it while so many others are missing out on a huge opportunity. Carbon credits, inflation and real estate. Climate change is affecting zoning requirements on the west coast. So… Heads Alaska. Tails Montana.

  • #10 - Why Student Loan Forgiveness isn't a Thing and a Better Solution to Skyrocketing University Costs

    Follow us on Insta

    What we cover:

    Front and center in the news this week is AOC's bid for the spotlight, circling back to President Biden's campaign promise to "forgive student loan debt." Kathryn's got a quick Econ 101 refresher for us: there's no such thing as canceling this ~$2 trillion in student debt. It will have to come from somewhere. Tune in for a deep dive into the different scenarios Americans are facing. This is keeping Lizzie up at night, so hear us out.

    We'll also cover how the different generations feel about 4-year degrees, trade school and the gig economy. Absolutely. There is value in taking 4 years to prepare for the workplace and marinate in a stimulating education while building a network that will serve you the rest of your career, but is it really worth $200,000+? It's a good thing we are Spring Break Casual today because this topic gets us pretty feisty.

    You won't want to miss

    What we covered:

    We're coming in hot - right in between work calls and date nights to chat about this week's news. We start with everything you need to know about taking care of beautiful, aging faces and restoring volume. And, as we are all adjusting to life IRL again we share what we have noticed in office culture and people-ops, especially hitting on tips for young professionals. Emily Weiss is getting some negative attention for her recent tech lay-off and a few other nasty accusations, but we want to talk about whether this coverage is really representative or if she's just getting blasted because she's young and attractive. It's a rough world out there if you're sensitive. Kathryn's got a pulse on that. Lizzie might say that she does not. And lastly, summer is right around the corner so set aside a little bit of time and $$ to get back on your A-game.
