In this episode of Small Town Girls Anonymous, Cassidy and Christie chat through the emotional whiplash of life feeling really good… but also slightly suspicious.

They talk family dynamics, future kids, sibling energy, becoming an aunt again, and why humor, pranks, and talking things out (even to a camera or a notebook) are underrated coping mechanisms. Cozy, funny, and a little unhinged in the best way, this episode is for anyone navigating adulthood, emotions, and changing seasons without having it all figured out.
