  • OUR ROMAN EMPIRES

    Most people have those random thoughts they come back to over and over again… the ones that don’t really make sense, but somehow say a lot about who you are. In this episode, Cassidy and Christie share their very specific, slightly unhinged “Roman Empires” and what they might actually mean.

    From old PBS shows like Frontier House to romanticizing life on the 1880s frontier, they get into the oddly specific things they can’t stop thinking about and why those thoughts might point to something deeper. There’s talk of Star Wars, morning coffee rituals, Montana dreams, vintage fashion, and the kind of life they’re quietly trying to build.

    It’s funny, a little chaotic, and unexpectedly reflective. If you’ve ever caught yourself obsessing over something random and wondered “wait… why do I care about this so much?” this episode is for you.

    By the end, you might start connecting the dots between your own “Roman Empires” and what they say about your values, your desires, and the life you actually want.

  • Spring favorites we swear by

    In this episode, Cassidy and Christie share their current spring favorites and the small things they’ve been loving lately that are making their lives feel lighter, more fun, and more aligned. From everyday rituals to unexpected habits, this conversation goes beyond surface-level favorites and turns into a real talk about building a life you’re genuinely obsessed with.

    They break down the idea of a life audit through four key pillars: your foundation, your passions, your space to rest, and the experiences that bring you into flow. Using their current favorites as real-life examples, they talk through what’s actually adding value to their days versus what’s quietly draining them.

    This episode is full of simple shifts, go-to spring habits, and mindset changes that can help you romanticize your routine, reset your energy, and step into a season that feels more intentional and alive.

    If you’re craving a reset, new inspiration, or just want ideas for what to add into your life this spring, this one will leave you feeling motivated to make your life feel better right now.

  • We're happier than ever... here's what actually changed

    In this episode, Cassidy and her guest go beyond the basics of health and wellness: talking about what it actually looks like to take ownership of your body, your energy, and your long-term well-being. From questioning conventional healthcare to tuning into your intuition, this conversation challenges the idea that doing the “bare minimum” is enough.

    They open up about the disconnect so many people feel with traditional healthcare, and how learning to advocate for yourself, whether that’s through lifestyle changes, deeper research, or simply listening to your body, can completely change your quality of life.

    You’ll hear honest conversations about making uncomfortable but necessary shifts, breaking out of passive habits, and taking a more proactive approach to your health. Plus, the small daily choices that don’t seem like much but actually make the biggest difference over time.

    If you’ve ever felt like something is “off” but didn’t know where to start, this episode will help you think differently about your health and give you the push to go deeper than the basics.

    Why do the smallest things ruin our entire day?

  • The Art of Having an Opinion

    In this episode of Small Town Girls Anonymous, Cassidy and Christie sit down for a candid conversation about confidence, creativity, and learning to trust your own taste in a world full of opinions.

    The girls chat about everything from their current coffee obsessions and birthday reflections to deeper conversations about art, criticism, and authenticity.

    Cassidy and Christie also open up about navigating self-image, dealing with online criticism, and the pressure women often feel to meet unrealistic expectations. Along the way, they share stories about childhood influences, Old Hollywood inspiration, cultural gaps in artistic appreciation, and the creative ideas they’re dreaming up next for the podcast.

  • Is 29 Old or Are We Dramatic?

    In this episode of Small Town Girls Anonymous, Cassidy and Christie get real about turning 29, career frustrations, and the quiet identity shifts that happen in your late twenties.

    What starts with a simple hair trim turns into a full conversation about aging, independence, spring break resets, and the pressure to “have it all figured out” before 30. The girls open up about feeling stuck, chasing bigger dreams, navigating creative careers, and learning how to find flow again when life feels slightly off.

    They also dive into pop culture updates, movie remakes, small town observations, and the kind of random side stories that only make sense in this podcast universe.

    If you’re in your mid-to-late twenties, questioning your timeline, re-evaluating your career, or just craving a reset, this episode is for you.

  • Cassidy's Vision Board Playbook

    In this solo episode, Cassidy shares what her recent trip to Puerto Rico stirred up creatively: from reigniting her love for photography to rethinking how she approaches vision boards, manifestation, and long-term goals.

    This isn’t fluffy “Pinterest manifestation.” It’s a grounded conversation about how to actually bring your vision to life.

    Cassidy breaks down how she uses vision boarding as a tool for clarity and alignment, why specific and measurable goals matter, and how to reverse engineer big dreams into practical daily steps. She talks about taking calculated risks, building discipline without burning out, and why emotional control and consistency are more powerful than motivation.

    You’ll also hear her thoughts on quarterly evaluations, pivoting when something isn’t working, trusting your intuition, and focusing on sustainable habits that support real growth.

    If you’re in your 20s (or 30s) trying to build something meaningful — creatively, professionally, or personally — this episode is your reminder that the life on your vision board isn’t random. It’s built.

    Topics covered:
    • Vision boards & manifestation through alignment
    • Reigniting creative passions
    • Goal setting & reverse engineering success
    • Risk-taking & stepping outside your comfort zone
    • Discipline, consistency & emotional resilience
    • Quarterly resets & pivoting strategically
    • Avoiding burnout while building big dreams

  • Valentine's Day Debrief

    In this week's episode, Cassidy and Christie recap a truly chaotic coffee order, unpack their Valentine’s Day experiences, and reflect on what it means to embrace imperfection in your twenties.

    The girls talk about Type A vs. Type B personalities, the symbolism behind the Year of the Horse, and why independence and rapid change might actually be the theme of this season of life. From “feral week” energy to 90s rom-com nostalgia, the conversation moves between lighthearted chaos and real self-awareness.

    They also get honest about societal pressure to look perfect, why Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be depressing, and the importance of friendship holidays. As always, there are personal stories, a little accountability (yes… including an Airbnb apology), and a reminder that growth doesn’t have to be polished to be meaningful.

They dive into why solitude isn’t something to fear, how to stop romanticizing bare minimum behavior, and what it actually looks like to be intentional in love.

    This episode is for anyone navigating dating, friendships, independence, or learning how to be fully content on their own.

    Whether you’re single, taken, situationship-adjacent, or just focused on becoming your best self, this one’s for you.
