Episode Title: Red, Blue & Bestie Too: Can Friendships Survive Politics?
Description:
You love her—but she voted for them. 😬
In this unfiltered episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie take on one of the most emotionally charged topics in modern friendship: politics. From divided families to deleted Facebook friends, they ask the big question—can two besties still laugh, love, and support each other when their worldviews are totally different?
They unpack how politics became personal, how algorithms keep us divided, and why we used to just… not care who our friends voted for. From raising politically opposite kids to surviving family dinners without flipping the table, Jen and Jackie get brutally honest about what’s really tearing people apart—and how to bring friendship (and maybe the country) back to the middle.
In This Episode:
🗳️ When politics became personal [03:00]
💔 Friendships lost over the ballot box [05:45]
📱 How social media and algorithms fuel division [13:00]
👩👧 Parenting kids with opposing political views [06:00]
💬 Grace vs. judgment—can we still talk about it? [09:40]
💖 Why good people can disagree and still love each other [24:00]
💡 Jen’s new idea: The Pink Party—a political middle ground led by women [34:00]
Because real friendship doesn’t have to come with a party line—it just needs mutual respect and a sense of humor.

She’ll Be Here Eventually: When Your Bestie Is Always Late (and You’re Always Waiting)
Description:
You love her to death… but she’s always late. Every dinner, every coffee date, every plan—she’s on her own time zone. ⏰
In this episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie dive into the friendship friction that comes with one bestie being chronically late and the other always watching the clock. Is it just a harmless quirk, or is it really about respect? Because being late isn’t just about time—it’s about how it makes people feel.
Inspired by a listener’s story of waiting 52 minutes with no text, no apology, and just a breezy “Hey girl,” Jennifer and Jackie unpack the deeper meaning behind lateness, how it affects friendships, and the difference between giving grace and setting boundaries.
In This Episode:
⏱️ When “she’s always late” stops being funny [03:00]
💬 How lateness communicates value (or lack of it) [06:30]
💡 Grace vs. consequences—finding your line [10:00]
💍 What running a wedding chapel teaches about punctuality [12:05]
👯♀️ Friendship boundaries and accountability [16:26]
😂 Why honesty (or humor) might save your friendship [19:14]
💖 The two types of besties: “Let them” vs. “Get your sh*t together” [21:48]

Episode Title: Besties, Boys & Boundaries: When You Both Catch Feelings
Description:
It’s all fun and flirting… until you both catch feelings. 💔
In this episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie dive into one of the oldest friendship taboos in the book — what happens when two best friends fall for the same person. Is there a girl code? Is it first come, first kiss? Or is it “nobody wins when besties become rivals”?
Inspired by a listener confession, the girls get real about what it feels like when something that started as a joke suddenly turns into jealousy, competition, and confusion. They unpack the emotional tug-of-war between protecting your heart and protecting your friendship — and why, in the end, crushes fade but real best friends don’t.
In This Episode:
💘 When innocent flirting turns into emotional territory [03:10]
💔 The unspoken girl code (and what it really means) [08:40]
🔥 How to recognize when competition crosses the line [12:15]
👭 Why your bestie should always win over a boy [14:30]
🙅♀️ The one time it’s okay to “back down” and feel good about it [17:00]
❤️🔥 Crushes fade, friendships last — how to protect yours [19:45]

Episode 17 - Didn’t Show Up: When Friends Ghost Your Biggest Moments
What do you do when your best friend doesn’t show up for one of the biggest days of your life—and doesn’t even call? In this episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie unpack the sting, confusion, and heartbreak of being ghosted by the person you thought would always have your back.
Inspired by a listener’s real story—her best friend bailed on her courthouse wedding with a last-minute “I’m not emotionally well” text—Jennifer and Jackie dive into the messy gray area between mental health, grace, and accountability. Is “I wasn’t emotionally available” a valid excuse or just a cop-out? And how do you forgive someone who didn’t even text you on your wedding day... but was at brunch the next morning?
In This Episode:
Because real friendship isn’t always fun—it’s about showing up when it counts, even when you don’t feel like it.

Episode 14 - Friendship Love Languages: Show up for your bestie in the way she feels it most.
Ever notice how we talk about love languages for couples, but rarely for friendships? In this episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie dive into the five love languages—words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch—and flip the script to see how they shape our closest friendships.
From blocking energy at a Vegas craps table (yes, really) to hand-made blankets, sourdough bread, and organizing your bestie’s chaos, they break down how each of them naturally gives and receives love in friendship. And they get real about what happens when love languages clash, why quality time matters most in their circle, and how little gestures often mean the most.
This one’s for every woman who knows her bestie isn’t “just a friend”—she’s family, therapy, and your mirror all rolled into one.
In This Episode:
If you’ve ever wondered how to show up for your bestie in a way she really feels, this episode is your cheat sheet.

Episode 13 - When Your Kids Grow Up and You Find Yourself Again
Who were you before you were “Mom”? And is she still in there? In this episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie get real about the bittersweet season of motherhood when the kids are grown (or at least independent) and you suddenly realize you have space—sometimes too much space—to figure yourself out again.
From teenage motherhood and skipped “selfish years” to stay-at-home seasons, career shifts, and the silence of an empty house, this conversation is about the messy mix of pride, grief, freedom, and reinvention. Because the truth is, motherhood changes you—but it doesn’t erase you.
In This Episode:
If you’ve ever looked around an empty house and thought, “Now what?”, this one’s for you. You’re not lost—you’re just finding your way back to yourself.

Episode 12 - Bestie Blessings: Why Every Husband Should Celebrate His Wife’s Ride-or-Die
Behind every strong marriage, there’s often an unspoken MVP: the best friend. In this episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie shine a light on one of the most overlooked—but most important—roles in a relationship: your wife’s bestie.
She’s not competition. She’s the emotional backup quarterback. She’s the one talking your wife off the ledge at midnight, reminding her she’s not crazy, and laughing her back into sanity when life gets heavy. In other words: she makes your marriage stronger (whether you realize it or not).
From husbands who secretly thank the bestie for carrying the extra weight, to the way long-time friendships keep women grounded, this episode is a love letter to the women who show up in ways even the best husband can’t.
In This Episode:
Whether you’re a husband who needs to hear this (hint: you probably do) or a best friend who deserves a little credit, this episode will make you laugh, nod, and maybe rethink how powerful a ride-or-die really is.
