Secrets in the Elephant Room

It’s officially fall in the Elephant Room, and the vibes are immaculate. Dalany and Payton are fully embracing their Glinda and Elphaba eras. One pumpkin spice and cozy blankets, the other apples, eyeliner, and gothic melancholy. Together, they dive headfirst into their favorite season and everything that comes with it: costumes, movies, candy, and Halloween traditions.

But it wouldn’t be an Elephant Room episode without a little drama the girls spill the stories of how they both got cheated on right before Halloween (bad idea, honestly) and how they turned heartbreak into high-level costume revenge.

They ask the real questions:🎃 Where do we wear all the costumes of our dreams?🍎 Why is Halloween the only day we get to be whoever we want?

The episode wraps with a chaotic round of Would You Rather: Halloween Edition: and it’s just as unhinged as you’d hope.

The chaos is candy-fueled, the tangents are tangled in cobwebs, and the elephant in the room is wearing fake blood and glitter. Pack your broomsticks, light a candle, and get spooky with us in the Elephant Room. 🐘✨

Back at it with another round of unfiltered chaos. Payton’s officially living her Seattle era and juggling grad school life, while Dalany… might be in her workaholic relapse arc (but can Payton really say anything when she’s kind of in one too?).

Between V8 addictions, Amazon meltdowns, and a Harvest Moon that decided to test everyone’s patience, the girls are hanging on by a thread... and maybe a caffeine drip. Dalany recounts one of the most frustrating days of her life before the universe hits reset, and somehow that spirals into the question every girl faces: do we chop the hair or let the length reign supreme?

Welcome back to the Elephant Room, chaos is not just a phase, it’s a lifestyle.

The chaos is unfiltered, the tangents are endless, and the elephant in the room is… well, everything. Get your money orders, feed into the caffeine addiction, and come stress with us in the Elephant Room. 🐘✨

Social media… what is it even for anymore? In this episode, Payton and Dalany spiral (in the best way) about the pressure to post, perfection paralysis, and the confusing art of trying to build a brand without feeling like an NPC.

Dalany might’ve won the “solo side quest” because Payton hates posting... but can you blame her? Between trying to be authentic (but not weird), niche (but not trapped), and anonymous (but still personal), the girls are just trying to figure out what it means to show up online without losing their minds.

They ask the big questions:

• How do you create a brand without hating the word “brand”?
• How do you “blow up” when you don’t even know what to post?
• And most importantly… how do we make social media fun again?

At the end of the day, this one’s for us, and hopefully for you too. Because your social media should be a space you actually enjoy.

Listen in, laugh a little, and maybe stop overthinking that caption.

It’s September, which means it’s time to lock in. But is this just a TikTok trend, or something wired into human behavior? Dalany and Payton are setting their own goals and even crafting a self-made “curriculum” to bring some structure (and chaos) into their lives.

Of course, locking in isn’t simple. We get into the complexities of discipline vs. capacity, the burnout that sneaks in, the scheduling issues, and what happens when life just gets in the way. We ask the big questions: How do you keep the love of learning alive without the drain of class requirements? How do you have it all without losing yourself? And how many balls can we actually juggle before one hits us in the face?

Also featuring: a brand new alter ego you didn’t know you needed.

✨ What’s the elephant in the room this week? It’s that “locking in” looks different for everyone and maybe that’s the point.

Sharpen your pencils, grab your planner, and come lock in with us in the Elephant Room.

Payton has officially made the move, and the girls are diving into the unglamorous, chaotic, and low-key magical reality of living on your own for the first time (and no, college doesn’t count). From forgetting the essentials (who remembers can openers?), to worst-ever moving experiences, to the existential “first night alone” crisis-slumber party. We’re covering it all.

We also talk about the art of making friends from scratch, the outrageous cost of simply existing (hi, Facebook Marketplace and Goodwill addiction), and the absolute nightmare of finding new doctors, vets, and (most importantly) hairdressers. Budget queens, rise up.

Moving out is stressful, expensive, and sometimes a mess, but honestly? It’s also the best feeling in the world. ❤️

✨ What’s the elephant in the room this week? It’s the fact adulthood doesn’t come with instructions (or affordable furniture).

Grab a cardboard box, pour yourself a celebratory drink, and come settle in with us in the Elephant Room.

(P.S. sorry for Payton’s audio quality. Just part of the moving struggle life.)

After two weeks off (because… life), the girls are back in the Elephant Room and the chaos is multiplied. We kick things off with alter egos, fist fights, and missed flights, and somehow end up talking about spiritual readings, crying on your birthday, and questioning mortality. Don’t ask us how we got here.

Payton has officially moved to Washington and turned 24, which means we’re officially spiraling into the quarter-life crisis era. Between weird life events, emotional epiphanies, and way too many tangents, this episode is pure chaos start to finish.

✨ What’s the elephant in the room this week? It’s the fact 24 is just “midlife crisis: early access edition.”

The chaos is unfiltered, the tangents are endless, and the elephant in the room is… well, everything. Pack your bags, question your existence, and come spiral with us in the Elephant Room.

The girls are reunited IRL (only the second time ever!) and naturally, the chaos level is off the charts. Fresh off a movie night screening of He’s Just Not That Into You, Dalany and Payton dive into the world of dating apps (specifically Hinge) and apply Alex’s “if he wanted to, he would” wisdom to their own love lives. But we plan to be the someone's exception and not the rule.

From swiping through likes to calling out their biggest red and green flags, this episode is equal parts unhinged laughter, brutal honesty, and way too much oversharing.

✨ What’s the elephant in the room this week? It’s the fact dating apps are basically a horror-comedy and we keep logging back in anyway.

Swipe, sip, and spiral with us in the Elephant Room.

This week in the Elephant Room, we’re embracing chaos as a lifestyle. Dalany’s celebrating her first-ever brand new car, Payton’s finally scoring some job interviews, and both of us are having way too many feelings about… dermatologists?

Somewhere between the scary skincare stories and a heated debate over the best place to buy moving boxes (spoiler: Payton could have gotten them for free the whole time), we manage to unpack the exhausting reality of Payton’s upcoming move to Washington.

So instead of sitting at our desks, we spend this episode doing some much-needed “floor time enrichment” because sometimes, the only cure for life’s chaos is lying flat and talking it out.

✨ What’s the elephant in the room this week? It’s the fact that adulthood is just running errands and arguing over cardboard.

The chaos is unfiltered, the tangents are endless, and the elephant in the room is… well, everything.

Lay down, grab a snack, and come embrace the mess with us in the Elephant Room.

Grab your crystals and your cauldron, it’s getting witchy in the Elephant Room. This week, we dive into our intuitive girl era: Dalany’s in love with citrine (and not afraid to say it), Payton’s pulling cards, and we both fully believe our birth charts explain everything.

We talk angel numbers, bizarrely accurate dreams, winter solstice rituals, and the wildest readings we’ve ever gotten the good, the spooky, and the downright unhinged. We also call out the ✨witchy red flags✨ (yes, TikTok tarot girlies, we’re talking to you).

And to close things out, Payton gives us a reading on the future of the podcast, let’s just say, we’re manifesting magic.

✨ What’s the elephant in the room this week? It’s the fact we’re too powerful to ignore the signs.

Stir your witches’ brew, charge your crystals, and come conjure some chaos in the Elephant Room.

Honestly? We don’t even know. This week’s episode is brought to you by Dr. Pepper, existential dread, and a whole lot of unhinged energy. Dalany’s fresh off a wedding weekend that ended with her car literally blowing up, and Payton just returned to Iowa with a newfound love for Washington (and a very real hatred for Midwestern coffee). Somehow amidst the chaos, we catch each other up on our latest obsessions, unravel a few love-life epiphanies, and question all of our life choices, but, like, in a fun way.

✨ What’s the elephant in the room this week? It’s everything. Absolutely everything.

The chaos is unfiltered, the tangents are endless, and the elephant in the room is… well, everything.

Crack open a Dr. Pepper, scream into the void, and come spiral with us in the Elephant Room.
