This week on Normal Shit, we spiral over “chicken breast nails,” debate whether color analysis is a scam or life-changing diagnosis, and unpack the emotional ~tRaUmA~ of being told certain colors “don’t work” on us. We also get into shopping addictions, spring cleaning our apartments (and our lives), dog training updates with Fig, love languages, Kindle obsessions, trad-wife thrillers, Housewives drama, and the accidental start of a spicy Norway romance novel. Truly… such normal shit.

Normal Shit | a podcast by Olivia Lagaly and Kelsey Barberio

This week is a full catch-up episode and absolutely nothing is off limits. We’re talking anxious dogs on Prozac, emotional support pets, nano-bladed brows, spontaneous tattoos in LA, and why Manhattan Beach almost convinced Olivia to move back to California for good. Plus: the realities of NYC rent, childhood “bad word” trauma, motherhood debates, and a truly horrifying viral airplane bathroom story that unlocked a new fear for both of us.

Also discussed:

• Jacob Elordi in Wuthering Heights
• Why dogs should look like their owners
• Wegovy side effects ruining public outings 🥲
• Why Pretty Pretty Princess is/was the best game ever
• The tattoo regret pipeline
• The eternal NYC vs. LA lifestyle debate

Normal Shit | A podcast by Olivia Lagaly & Kelsey Barberio

This week, Kelsey and Olivia are sharing all of their April favorites from Kindle addictions and Frieda McFadden thrillers to beauty products, binge-worthy TV shows, nostalgic mall brands and the best gluten-free pancakes in NYC.

They dive into:

• Why Kindle finally got Olivia back into reading

• The psychological thrillers they can’t stop watching

• Their complicated relationship with Abercrombie, Hollister and Aeropostale

• IPL facials, lip plumpers and “clean girl” makeup favorites

• Olivia’s sister’s nose job recovery

• The return of Longchamp bags

• Weird middle school fashion memories

• Custom perfumes in NYC

• Reliving their mall-era and Hollister employee stories

Basically: a very unserious but deeply important conversation about books, beauty, shopping, boobs, pancakes and growing up.

Pour a glass of wine and hang out with us.

Normal Shit | A podcast by Olivia Lagaly and Kelsey Barberio

Sometimes you just need a good rant session! And today, we’re letting it all out.

In this episode, we’re diving into all the random, frustrating, and downright confusing things we don’t get. From chaotic workout classes that feel like a different language, to the influencer Olympics that is Coachella, to people who walk three-abreast on NYC sidewalks (criminal behavior, honestly).

We also get into:

• Being called out in a workout class and why it hits way deeper than it should
• The insane reality of influencer spending (like… $13K/month on food??)
• Birkin culture and luxury “investment” pieces
• When “being copied” is actually just… the internet working as usual
• Dating etiquette (ghosting, we’re looking at you)
• Friendship dynamics that feel a little too one-sided

AND because balance is everything, we’re ending on a high note with some genuinely wholesome, uplifting listener updates that restored our faith in humanity 🫶

If you’ve ever thought “wait… why is this a thing?”... this one’s for you.

Normal Shit | by Kelsey Barberio and Olivia Lagaly

New episodes every Thursday!

We all know Summer House should be fun (and it always delivers.) But you know what's not fun for Kyle Cook and Ciara Miller? Amanda Batula and West Wilson's romantic relationship. YIKES. We simply HAD to chat with you all about it because this one's a doozy.

We may be 30, flirty and thriving, but we're also curious about botox. Is it a mistake? Is it the best thing ever? Who can say?! (Maybe us soon..) We're talking all things BIRTHDAYS. Olivia is not a birthday lover, but Kelsey IS and has a tip to make sure you always enjoy yours. Plus hear the lore that is "pukey birthday" and the time Olivia got bullied by teens at the Cheesecake Factory.

Kelsey’s getting eggs ripped from her bod (aka freezing her eggs/making embryos) and is shockingly not an emotional monster. Meanwhile, Olivia is back from LA where she was living like the lead in her own rom-com and making Very Big Life Decisions… including procuring an engagement ring.
