  • So You Love(d) An Alcoholic?

    It’s all fun and games in college. And then the frat boy drinking doesn’t stop. What do you do? What was it like for us when we realized we were dating men with a drinking problem? Maybe you can relate, maybe you can just sympathize. But we’ve seen a lot and learned a lot. Come along for our ride so you don’t have to.

  • Sorry but...

    Apologizing is a skill that takes time, maturity, and (unfortunately) practice. This week we are discussing the art of saying “sorry”. Giving one, receiving one, and the uncomfortable moments after one. We have some stories to share…

  • Captains of The Hot Mess Express Reporting For Duty

    We were having a rough week so we decided rather than faking it (not our style), or skipping a week (very much our style), that we would just acknowledge the fact that we aren't doing great. So grab a snack, you'll hear Stephanie's favorite sad snack, and come hang out with us. We figured we could all use some girl time.

  • A Funeral For Our Youth

    Morgan just turned 28. And what are birthdays for, if not throwing ourselves into existential crises and comparing where we are in life to our peers and to where are parents were at our age? Oh? Cake? Not our thing. We’d rather talk out our insecurities and do a feelings deep-dive. Come get your self-reflection done now so you can enjoy your own birthday without ending up in a corner, already hungover after ONE dirty martini in the fetal position questioning why you’re not where you thought you would be at this age when you were like 10.

    PS: 10-year-old you didn’t know shit.

  • Are You A Stage 5 Clinger?

    This week we’re breaking down attachment styles, basically it’s the mommy/daddy issues episode you’ve all been waiting for. Do you tend toward stage 5 clinger or retreat into yourself like a little hermit crab?  Our goal is to help you understand yourself and the ones you love in order to keep you from making the same dating mistakes we have. As always, you are welcome.

    • You CAN Sit With Us

      We are all about girl power here at Make It Work, but we are like this because of a lifetime of experiences with bullying, exclusion, judgement and competition. Why are ladies so mean to each other? What can we do to band together and build each other up? Let’s talk it out.

    • We're Not OK

      This summer both our state and federal government have made some choices that will very likely affect you. It's kind of a big deal. As best friends with different political beliefs, we have come together in aggressive agreement that this topic needs discussing.  So this week we talk women's reproductive rights and we want to hear YOUR voices as well. We want to talk mad shit about these decisions and figured... who better with than you guys?

    • Do As We Say Not As We Do

      We promised more stories about our mistakes and, as always, we delivered.  Growing up as millennials led to many technology related crises and this week we shared a few including disasters with nudes and texting while angry. If you were lucky enough to avoid any of this faux paus then we can’t express how jealous we are, and if not grab a glass of wine and let's trade social media horror stories.

    • Let's Get Social

      This week we are beginning a discussion on what social media has meant for us: the good, the bad, and the ugly. We go down memory lane to talk about AIM, Xanga, and MySpace before touching on Facebook and Instagram. Let us know how social media has affected your life! And if you’re our age, thank the lord that Snapchat didn’t exist when you were a teenager.

      Social Media has impacted all of us but especially the millennial and gen z generations. Also we aren’t on board with this bullshit fight between millennials and gen z were too close to the border and think that is a crock of shit

      Also - there are disgusting predators every step of the way that try to take advantage of young people by contacting them through social media
