HAPPY 4TH of JULY! The intro you don’t know you needed - from singing to considering voice lessons and the idea that “people will do anything for money”. 

Ever wondered if your perfectionist tendencies are a product of your genes, or just a learned behavior? Join us as we unpack the fascinating world of nostalgia, performance anxiety, and the pressures of perfectionism, all from Jenny’s husband’s childhood bedroom filled with old trophies and memories. 

Did you know anxiety is genetic? Join us as we consider whether or not that’s why we survived evolution - our ability to please and our ability to be strong contributors.

Don’t miss our take on "Inside Out 2" and how it introduces new emotional dimensions that resonate with kids. As the universe feeds us repetitive themes - nostalgia - anxiety - and romance - we hit pause and unpack each one because nothing is by accident. And if the universe is trying to get our attention, we’re determined to pause and to listen. And somehow - in typical mayhem fashion - we discuss the unique roles we see one another in … 1776. From butter churning to chopping wood and fixing wagons - we take you on a left hand turn, back to “not history” class.

As we navigate through the complexities of personal boundaries in relationships, our discussion becomes a heartfelt reflection on how to maintain friendships while protecting our peace. From a friend feeling excluded to balancing alone time, we share real-life experiences that highlight the importance of setting and respecting boundaries. And we discuss peace - and romance. The simple romance - or the “glimmer” as we later heard it referred to - of finding gratitude in the simplest of things. 

Emphasizing the value of self-worth and platonic love, (yes - the kind we don’t talk about enough - the love we learned from our girlfriends) - we reflect on the journey of moving past the need for validation and embracing those who uplift us. Tune in for a mix of thoughtful reflection, humor, and heartfelt moments as we explore what makes summer and life so sweet.

Happy 4th to you and yours ! 
- Jenny & Raebecca

Get ready to “have the time of your life” this week (yes, we’re alluding to the reel). We take an episode to catch up with Christina Smalley (THE Christina, our first ever guest and licensed family therapist), sharing all the hilarious and heartfelt moments from Raebecca’s daughter's 9th birthday to the nerves around Amy's upcoming Muay Thai fight. From the chaos of transitioning from summer break to our comical resistance to seeing the doctor over a nasty case of pink eye, this episode is packed with relatable summer struggles and plenty of laughs.

We also take a deep dive into the art of balancing personal fulfillment with parental responsibilities. Filling your cup? Or just over filling your time? Are we accidentally contributing to our own overwhelm? Where do we drawn the line as parents, and participation. And when do need to check ourselves - and the example we are setting for our children - from family dynamics to the dynamics of friendship … who else will set their expectations for how these exist in adulthood? Christina helps us unpack how, prioritizing our needs can positively influence our children, teaching them the value of self-care and passion.

After a silly intermission where we tackle gender roles and trimming bushes (no, not another body hair removal chat)- gas leaks and snakes - we jump into a deep conversation about boundaries. Who they protect - and when to know when one was very much needed. Hint: if there’s drama … well, where there’s smoke, there’s fire. A candid conversation about current relationships, recent boundaries, and the reactions we’ve have to face after. Christina guides us through what reactions we’re responsible for, and which ones we are not.

We take a chance to recap Italy - and in perfect algorithm cadence … it’s taken over not just Jenny’s feed but also Raebecca’s and we’re here for it! The food, the beautiful people - but bless, the driving was something else. Leave it to Jenny to google translate the motion sickness of her crew, overseas.

Would you believe it - we’re hitting the road! We manifested it early this year - and we’ve got a table - and a local Muay Thai fight - and we’re planning what to wear … at the same time we’re talking about french fries for breakfast … make it make sense. And in classic mayhem style - we unpack hash browns, Waffle House, a local brunch spot (shoutout to Big Bad Breakfast) and how extra we can make a simple breakfast side. Is smothered enough?

Summer is here - we’re talking schedules, the beauty of being unscheduled, the balance of sports and workbooks and how we “get it all done”. And we take the chance to talk about a recent we project we just finished. Brand guide, and all. We talk about the difference in “brand guides” and the Gritty Gal difference. As promised - it’s more than just a pretty package delivered to a client’s inbox - we talk about the how, and what we’ve done to see this client up for success. Even better, we will be there to help implement the strategy we set as a team. As Jenny often says, we truly care about where the rubber meets the road. And for a second, let us talk you you about the difference between love and marriage - when it comes to branding.

Would you believe us if we said - there’s now a reel - a dancing video … just when you thought we weren’t going to do it … we did. In the words of Taylor, “are you ready for it”?. From taking the weekend off, to a hype girl who actually tells you that you did a great job driving around with your gas tank on E…this is a great balance of Marketing & Mayhem, and after all, isn’t that the spirit you came for?

We hope you’re ready for pure MAYHEM this week …

We jump right into morning routines - hydration - and our salt/ electrolyte obsession.  Summer is here - school is ending - and we both share excitement and angst over balancing our multiple roles this summer. But we’re reminded that often times, Mondays become Fridays before you even know it - and we’re lucky to have some flexibility in our day to day … and kiddos who enjoy one another’s company. Because that’s going to come in handy when we’re working poolside this season of life!

We don’t talk about marketing - but we do talk booty shorts, camel toes - and our favorite sports bras (Amazon). We also talk about one of Raebecca’s favorite social media accounts - and dig a little into their authenticity and what makes them so likeable (@littleherculette Peyton Bucher ). And - what is the real story behind booty shorts at the gym … and we play a game of would you rather (that potentially will make your stomach flip just thinking about it).

And finally - we’re talking about love languages again. This time - Acts Of Service. Is there a direct correlation to being a first born daughter, and this specific love language? Whether we're bonding over a meal train or pondering the art of gift-giving, it's clear that small gestures can hold immense power and show a certain depth of love for someone. Kicking off the summer with smores breakfasts and a case of the sillies - this week is a fun one!

Unlock the secrets to a seamless synergy in business as we chat with Kelsey Klim and Kollin Chupa, the founders of K Squared Marketing.

These marketing powerhouses - who might … just might … dress in the same outfit OFTEN, take us in their journey from event planning and management to owning their own marketing firm. We jump into conversations that range from pumpkin patches to crisis management and find … there really is something to be said for business partners who can complete one another’s sentences. 

What REALLY matters when it comes to marketing - your brand message, your voice, your core values and your call to action. It’s a lot more than a pretty brand guide. And while we love those - we also know business leaders who didn’t do extensive research into their logo or their color scheme. Leaders who jumped right into “doing”. But there’s positive and negative to both. 

Is there such a thing as a bad client and where do you draw the line? In a society where image, perception and instant gratification currently drive many business models - what would it take to create a sustainable business model? Where do you draw the line between brand recognition and the kind of marketing that grabs your attention? Is there ever a time to compromise? What if it calls on your own values and integrity and … isn’t meeting them? And how much does self awareness play into how you choose clients?

From bad pictures to murders - you’ve considered a marketing team but have you considered one that can handle crisis management? Someone who protects your story, your integrity and your reputation while you’re busy building and living?

Did you use ChatGPT to learn how to change a tire? Today is the day we unpacked the power of ChatGPT tell you how we give your and we talk to you about how we use it to break the cycle of writer’s block or even to help in efficiency when it comes to creating copy or content. We also challenge Chat GPT to create content - for a tire salesman/ sales page, because why not?

But even better we kick it with a conversation Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. Before she was the performer, you guys know now she was a songwriter and she’s written songs for acts as big as Little Big Town.

Have you heard about some the latest social media trends, the idea that “followers” as a concept might actually be dead, but engagement still reins queen? Conversation about longer length reels beginning to make a bigger impact. 

Between long runs and left turns - camping trips - and the existential question of “why doesn’t Disney have a library”? And was the beast, from Beauty & the Beast a dog or a lion? Help!  We dive into high school, and Napoleon Dynamite

We’re on one this week - hope you’re ready for some major laughs and nonsense right out of the gate this morning! From our podcast “link” to shark week - we jump right into what it would take for the two of us to host a variety show and why your Instagram messages go unread for long periods of time.

Have you had a chance to watch “The Idea Of You” yet on Amazon Prime? (PS you’ve got a chance to win the book!). Don’t get us started how different a movie adaptation from a book, and this one was a tough one for us but it also got us started on some of our more recent reads and in typical mayhem fashion, we take a left-hand turn to talk about sports and spicy books.

What does it mean to end your “no” journey - and start your “yes” journey? We unpack this idea of how isolating “no” can be - and how it really represents the need for protection and boundaries. 

This last year has represented a lot of change and a lot of growth for both of us, but it really comes down to the conversation of saying yes, and how many more doors and opportunities open as you start to embrace that philosophy, especially coming out of a healing journey or a space of deep growth. It’s sort of what came first, the chicken or the egg? Did we start saying yes and so bigger opportunities or did the opportunities come and we couldn’t risk it by saying no? 

And as we close - we open up about our love for slow mornings, the “slug life” - because that’s where it’s at. For Mothers Day and let’s be honest … whenever we can take a second to hit pause on the pace we keep - we get deep about the gift that is time. That’s our favorite. Whether it’s with girlfriends or whoever saves you space when you need it, there’s something so special about the recognition and emotional connection that is time together.

Stand & Defend - holds a lot of heat and a few triggers so read the intro carefully please!

Yes - it’s Keon Coleman (not Campbell - sorry, these are unscripted and no one’s perfect). #billsmafia

Shoutout to BODEGA in Mount Pleasant, SC - we had the The Gropfather & The Shredded Cheese

Have you ever had the moment as a mom where you feel like you’re trying so hard, but nothing is coming together? Well that just happened to us, and it’s the reason that we don’t have our kids on an episode for you guys this week. Join us as we go into the heartbreaking detail of the Mother’s Day episode that isn’t - and ultimately is another fail, but also a testament to our ability to overcome and also accept . Isn’t that just a giant part of motherhood and the journey we’re together?

This week we take you on a journey from growing up, watching America’s Funniest Home Videos, and a theory we’re developing about why that turned us into adults who love reels. We tackle room service, The Apple Watch “scheme”, and one of our favorite movies “The Breakup” with Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn.

And even though you invite us into your homes and your cars, every Thursday for a listen, find out why you don’t want us in your kitchen, baking. We share some of our kids favorite memories - from dropkicking rotisserie chicken to torching Easy Mac (3 times, all on accident). And remind ourselves that it’s the little things that they remember - the imperfect - and maybe just maybe those are actually the big things . They are literally watching us every day as we face adversity, and we walk through failure and we show love.

A giant happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there because of all the hats to wear and all the jobs we have, this one is the hardest and the most rewarding, and you probably don’t hear it enough! You’re doing amazing, you’re beautiful and we see you. We love you!
