Kayla and Vanessa cover it all this week — from job struggles to magic tricks to the shocking discovery that both their feet are internet-famous. (Yes, WikiFeet gave them ratings over 4.8. Yes, they found out live on air. Yes, chaos ensued.)

Kayla gets honest about how tough life’s been after WWE — planting seeds, waiting for them to grow, and wondering if the economy is just allergic to success right now. Vanessa reminds us all that behind the curated Insta feeds, literally everyone is struggling too.

From there, it’s a rollercoaster: close-up magic at the Magic Castle, outrage over the heartbreaking case of baby Emmanuel Haro, alien motherships allegedly pulling up in October, California bringing back the plague (rude), and a side quest into whether robots are about to replace us all.

Basically: it’s weird, it’s hilarious, it’s a little unhinged — and it’s exactly the reminder you need that none of us have this figured out.

Come back next week when they spiral over millennial nostalgia and why everything they loved as kids is now considered “vintage” (and cringy).

Remember when the worst thing about going back to school was getting your lunch money stolen and not the fear of your embarrassing moment going viral? Vanessa and Kayla certainly do.

In this nostalgic episode, we're diving into our drastically different educational backgrounds - from Vanessa's strict Catholic school experience complete with nuns checking skirt lengths to Kayla's journey through multiple schools as a foster child navigating racial identity. We share how these formative years shaped who we are today, from developing code-switching abilities to overcoming the infamous "Catholic guilt."

The playground was our battlefield where Red Rover selections determined your social standing and dodgeball left both physical and emotional scars. We're talking about the real, face-to-face bullying of the 90s versus today's relentless cyberbullying - debating which generation had it worse while acknowledging each had unique challenges.

You'll laugh as we recount our detention stories (or "ASS" - After School Suspension, as Kayla's school called it), passing handwritten notes in class, and playing MASH to predict our futures. There's even a surprise Christian rap performance from Kayla that you absolutely won't want to miss!

For anyone who grew up in the 90s or early 2000s, this episode will transport you back to a simpler time before iPads replaced textbooks and when showing your personality meant colorful socks under your uniform. And for today's students? Consider this your anthropological study of how your parents survived school without smartphones.

Grief arrives in countless forms—sometimes through death, other times through separation, and often through the quiet evolution of our own identities. In this vulnerable conversation, Vanessa opens up about losing her father suddenly at 19, while Kayla shares her experience of being torn from her mother at age 9 when her mom went to prison.

The raw emotion is palpable as Vanessa recalls walking into her childhood home after her father's passing and feeling that unmistakable "cold breeze" of absence. She shares beautiful memories of her quiet, kind father who always made her mom's morning coffee and taught her the value of truly listening to others. Meanwhile, Kayla recounts the confusion and heartbreak of being placed in foster care without understanding why, screaming for her mother through the windows of a van as they were driven away.

Both hosts explore how these profound losses shaped their adult relationships and perspectives. Vanessa wonders how different her romantic relationships might have been with her father's protective guidance, while Kayla reveals how foster care taught her to build emotional walls that she's still working to dismantle in therapy. They share the uncomfortable truth that grief doesn't simply fade with time—it becomes part of who we are, appearing in unexpected waves throughout our lives.

Perhaps most valuable is their discussion about what not to say to someone who's grieving. Phrases like "time heals all wounds," "they'd want you to be strong," or commenting on someone's funeral attire (yes, this actually happened to Vanessa) miss the mark entirely. Instead, they suggest simple presence, practical support, and the freedom to express grief without timeline or expectation.

Listen in as we explore how loss, in all its forms, becomes absorbed into our story—not as an ending, but as an ongoing conversation with our past, present, and future selves. And if you're grieving anything right now, we see you and we've got you.

This week on Milk & Honeys, Coldplay accidentally ended a man’s career, Ozzy Osbourne made his final exit, and Kayla is spiraling over Christian Grey in a way that’s probably not healthy. We also dive into the cursed Labubu plush craze (yes, the demon doll is real and Kayla owns one now), and debate what level of control we’d tolerate if it came with a penthouse and a private jet.

Topics include:

• The CEO who got caught kissing HR on the kiss cam and resigned faster than you can say “fix it in PR.”
• Ozzy Osbourne’s legendary life, wild marriage to Sharon, and why losing a musician you’ve never met still hits hard.
• Kayla’s Fifty Shades rewatch — what’s sexy, what’s psychotic, and would Christian Grey be hot if he wasn’t rich?
• Labubu: the viral plush toy conspiracy that’s either adorable or a portal to hell.

Relationships end for countless reasons, but what happens when the person isn't "bad" – you're just fundamentally different? In this deeply personal episode, Kayla opens up about her recent breakup from a year-and-a-half relationship that ended just a week before recording.

"I'm a professional self-sabotager," Kayla admits while exploring her fearful-avoidant attachment style. Her candid reflection on how childhood trauma – being uprooted frequently, experiencing foster care, and separation from her mother – impacts her adult relationships resonates powerfully. She shares the particular challenge of grieving someone who's still alive but no longer in your life, a unique pain many listeners will recognize.

The conversation evolves naturally into dating horror stories (including an awkward Soho House encounter with a date who claimed to be "sick"), green flags to look for, and those little "icks" that can doom a relationship before it starts. Kayla and Vanessa share personal lessons they've learned the hard way, like Kayla realizing she shouldn't date men whose primary goal is becoming a husband and father when she doesn't share those aspirations.

Between vulnerable moments come bursts of laughter and wisdom about finding balance between career ambition and personal contentment. "We have big thoughts, big vision, big energy," Vanessa notes, "but those little pieces of gratitude are going to help reform and reshape that mold for you."

Whether you're processing your own breakup, navigating the dating world, or simply trying to understand your attachment style better, this episode offers both comfort and clarity. Listen in, take a few cleansing breaths with us, and remember: healing isn't linear, but it is possible.

Multi-talented doesn't begin to describe Jenna Davis. At just 21, she's already conquered Hollywood as the chilling voice behind horror sensation Megan while simultaneously establishing herself as a rising country music star.

Our conversation with Jenna reveals an artist wise beyond her years, having navigated the entertainment industry since childhood with remarkable grace. Starting in community theater productions at age 9 in Minnesota, Jenna recalls how a director first recognized her acting potential during a production of "Annie." With unwavering family support, she made the leap to Los Angeles at 11, balancing homeschooling with professional acting opportunities.

What strikes you immediately about Jenna is her refreshing perspective on rejection. "No's are no's for a reason, and yes's are yeses for a reason," she shares, explaining how maintaining childlike enthusiasm for each opportunity has been key to her success. This wisdom served her well when landing the role of Megan, which she originally thought was for a video game. Without knowing she was auditioning for what would become a blockbuster horror franchise, she created Megan's distinctive voice by infusing the character with sass and personality beyond traditional robot delivery.

The conversation takes fascinating turns when Jenna discusses her upcoming debut album "Where Did That Girl Go?" dropping June 27th – the same day as "Megan 2.0." The album title reflects her current transitional phase, acknowledging her evolution from child performer to adult artist. Growing up on Patsy Cline and Dolly Parton, Jenna's drawn to country music's storytelling tradition while incorporating pop influences from artists like Miley Cyrus.

Whether discussing the unexpected embrace of Megan by the LGBTQ+ community during Pride Month or revealing what fans can expect from "Megan 2.0," Jenna demonstrates authentic passion for her craft. Follow @JennaDavis across all platforms and mark your calendar for June 27th when both her debut album and the highly anticipated horror sequel arrive simultaneously.
