The kids grow up, move out, and suddenly the house is quiet. Sounds peaceful… so why are we feeling guilty for enjoying it? 😂

In this episode, we’re getting into the reality of empty nest syndrome, motherhood, identity, and what happens when the role that consumed so much of your life starts to change. Terri shares what it’s like navigating life as an empty nester, while Tyerra gives the adult-child perspective—including whether we actually feel guilty for leaving home.

We talk about losing yourself in motherhood, rediscovering who you are outside of being “Mom,” whether adult children are responsible for filling the void, and why this next chapter might be less about an empty nest and more about finally making room for yourself.

Because maybe the nest isn’t empty… maybe there’s just finally some space. 👀

🎙️ In This Episode:

• The reality of empty nest syndrome
• Motherhood, identity & finding yourself again
• Feeling guilty about enjoying your newfound freedom
• The adult-child perspective on leaving home
• Should adult children be responsible for their parents’ loneliness?
• Friendships, relationships & life after the kids leave

In this episode, we're asking the question nobody wants to admit they're thinking: is a midlife crisis actually a crisis... or just the moment you realize your life isn't going exactly as planned?

We get into what a midlife crisis really looks like today, why so many of us feel like we're falling behind (even when we're not), and whether turning 30 is basically the new version of turning 50. We also put Terri in the hot seat to figure out if she's actually having a midlife crisis—or if becoming an empty nester and changing careers is simply the start of a brand-new chapter.

Whether you're questioning your career, your purpose, or just wondering why everyone else seems to have it together, this episode is your reminder that none of us really know what we're doing... and that's oddly comforting.

🎙️ In This Episode:

• What a midlife crisis really looks like today
• Midlife crisis vs. identity crisis
• Why so many of us feel behind
• Is 30 the new midlife? (Quarter-life crisis edition)
• Is Terri actually having a midlife crisis?
• Career changes, empty nests & starting over

In this episode, we're proving that some movies only get better with age... while others had us booking tickets the second they hit theaters. We're sharing our all-time favorite classics, the three movies we could rewatch forever, and the best films we've seen this year.

From nostalgic comfort movies to recent blockbusters, we compare notes, defend our questionable picks, and inevitably judge each other's taste along the way. Whether you're looking for your next movie night recommendation or just want to know which films we think deserve all the hype, we've got opinions—and plenty of them.

Because let's be honest... there are two kinds of people: those who rewatch the same comfort movie 47 times, and those who somehow always have something new on their watchlist.

🎙️ In This Episode:

• Our favourite "oldie but goodie" movies
• The Top 3 movies we'll never get tired of watching
• The best movies we've watched this year
• The films that lived up to the hype (and the ones that didn't)
• Movie recommendations for your next night in

In this episode, we're questioning the idea that doing more automatically means living better. Somewhere along the way, we started believing every morning needed a five-step routine, every free minute had to be productive, and saying "yes" to everyone was a personality trait.

We talk about why we're intentionally slowing down—from letting go of overly regimented morning routines to accepting that not every day needs to be packed with accomplishments. We also discuss setting healthier boundaries, not always being available, and making more time for solo travel, quiet moments, and doing absolutely nothing without feeling guilty.

Turns out, protecting your peace might be the most productive thing you do all week.

🎙️ In This Episode:
• Why we're choosing to do less, not more
• Letting go of the "perfect" morning routine
• Setting boundaries and protecting your time
• Why rest isn't something you have to earn
• Solo travel, wellness days & slowing down
• Redefining what a productive day looks like

In this episode, we're taking one for the team and sharing the health and wellness trends that completely flopped for us. From 75 Hard and keto to chia seed water, apple cider vinegar, and the infamous Master Cleanse, we've tried our fair share of viral wellness hacks—and let's just say... not all of them deserved the hype.

We break down what worked (if anything), what we'd never do again, and why chasing the latest health trend isn't always the answer. If you've ever been personally victimized by wellness TikTok or convinced yourself that drinking vinegar would magically change your life, this episode is for you.

Because sometimes the healthiest thing you can do... is admit it was a terrible idea.

🎙️ In This Episode:

• Health trends that didn't live up to the hype
• 75 Hard: our honest experience
• Keto, chia seed water & apple cider vinegar
• The Master Cleanse (yes... we tried it)
• Why simple habits beat viral wellness trends

In this episode, we're diving into one of the most talked-about topics right now: GLP-1s, peptides, weight loss medications, and the stigma that comes with them.

We talk about why people are turning to these treatments, whether it's for health, aesthetics, or a little bit of both, and why admitting you're using a weight-loss medication still seems more controversial than admitting you've had Botox. We also discuss the differences between GLP-1s, dieting, personal trainers, and weight-loss surgery—and whether society views some methods as more "acceptable" than others.

Plus, Terri may or may not be considering jumping on the peptide train, so naturally, we had thoughts.

It's a candid, funny, and surprisingly philosophical conversation about health, appearance, judgment, and why we're all a little obsessed with how other people lose weight.

🎙️ In This Episode:

• GLP-1s and peptides: health tool or beauty treatment?

• Why there's still stigma around weight-loss medication

• Does society treat thinness as a moral achievement?

• Terri's thoughts on trying peptides
