This week’s cozy chaos edition is coming to you from Sunday night brain-fog, walking pneumonia energy, kids yelling at bedtime, and possible ghost orbs floating through Morgan’s house. We talk NPC neighbors, the Sue Dillon “Marlboro Reds” voice, white rabbit TikTok symbolism, Orlando real estate magic, pop-culture drama (hi Ariana, hi Katy Perry, hi Hair by Chrissy), and why some people feel a little bit… soulless. 👀

But the heart of this episode is Natasha sharing the most mortifying, painful chapter of her life: a rushed early-20s marriage to her personal trainer, finding out he’d been cheating with one of her bridesmaids for a year, the shocking abuse and car-chase incident that followed, and the moment her dad told her, “You are not my little girl.” She walks through the shame, the healing, and how she rebuilt her life into something secure, safe, and actually joyful.

We close out with our “Thankful Series,” sharing what we (and our friends) are grateful for—especially secure love that lets you roam free and still feel deeply chosen (and yes, digital calendars that keep everyone alive). We tease Morgan’s part two, plus a fun holiday series with prizes coming up.

TW: Domestic violence, infidelity, emotional abuse. Please listen with care and skip this one if you need to. 💛

TW: addiction 

This week, Morgan opens up about the lowest season of her life — the one that broke her and built her. From a series of bad decisions and total rock bottom to a new life rooted in faith, family, and purpose.

Nine years ago, she walked into treatment and started the climb back to real life.

In this week’s episode of Almost Experts, Morgan and Natasha open the group chat to the ghosts of relationships past — the bad dates, toxic exes, and walking red flags that still haunt us. From cringe-worthy first dates to “what was I thinking?” relationships, the girls spill their own stories and swap listener horror tales that prove love can be scarier than any haunted house.

Of course, they end on a high note — with gratitude for their healthy, healed, happily-taken lives now — and a reminder that every bad date was just leading to better boundaries.

🎧 Tune in for laughs, lessons, and maybe a few jump scares.

In this episode of The Almost Experts, Morgan and Natasha are back with a new recording setup, fresh from Miami, and maybe still a little sun-drunk. 💅 They kick things off with a weekend recap full of wedding shenanigans, solo-time confessions, and garlic-related crimes before diving headfirst into what it’s really like trying to be taken seriously as women in male-dominated spaces.

From design to real estate to podcasting — the girls get candid (and a little spicy 🌶️) about the double standards they’ve run into and how they’ve learned to hold their own.

Then things take a spooky turn 👻: haunted hospitals, psychic readings, crystals, and a detour to Cassadaga — because of course they did. It’s an episode that’s equal parts deep, funny, and slightly unhinged (just the way we like it).

🎧 Tune in for ghost stories, girl talk, and a reminder that believing in yourself (and maybe your crystals) is the ultimate superpower.

00:00 Welcome to the Almost Experts

Giving you a peek behind the curtain this week — the part where we’re tired, stretched thin, and still trying to hold it all together.

In this episode, Morgan and Natasha open up about burnout, boundaries, and what it actually looks like to keep showing up when you feel completely fried. From ghost stories in old schools to the chaos of daily routines, they balance humor and honesty while unpacking what burnout really feels like — mentally, emotionally, and physically.

They share their own weekly struggles, how they’re learning to create better habits, and what it means to practice discipline without losing yourself in the process. The girls also talk about finding purpose again, saying “no” without guilt, and how the 5 Second Rule can help you take action when you’re stuck in overthinking mode.

This one’s part therapy session, part bestie pep talk — for anyone who’s running on empty but still trying to live with intention.

⏱️ Timestamps:

✨ Tune in, laugh with us, cry a little if you need to, and remember — burnout doesn’t mean broken.

In this episode of The Almost Experts, Morgan and Natasha get real about grief — the kind that sneaks into your business, your brain, and your group chat. Between the tears and Taylor Swift theories, they open up about losing their parents, how they’re learning to cope, and why sometimes the best you can do is just keep showing up (with mascara stains and all). Of course, it’s not all heavy — they still manage to spiral about travel dreams and betrayals (the cheese kind), proving that healing isn’t linear… but it can still be entertaining.

If you’ve ever felt guilty saying “no” (even when your calendar, your brain, and your soul were already maxed out) — this one’s for you.

In this episode of The Almost Experts, Morgan + Natasha get real about boundaries: why they matter, why they’re hard, and how to unapologetically protect your time when you’re balancing business, motherhood, marriage, and everything in between.

How to spot when you’re over-booked vs. just busy

The art of saying no without the guilt trip

Why respecting your own time is the key to building confidence in life + business

Real-life stories of when we didn’t set boundaries… and paid for it 🙃

Women are often told to “do it all” — and then feel burnt out when we try. This conversation is your permission slip to take up space, protect your energy, and stop apologizing for having limits.

💡 Your time is your most valuable asset. Let’s talk about how to keep it sacred, even when the world keeps asking for “just one more thing.”

This week, we’re diving into a question we get asked all the time: how do you stay organized when your life feels like a circus?

Spoiler: it’s not perfect. But we’ve figured out ways to keep the wheels turning while raising kids, growing businesses, and somehow remembering to feed ourselves.
