  • Episode 15: The Girls Talk About Puzzles w/ Karalee

    For those of you who haven't seen the Daniel Sloss comedy special on Netflix "Jigsaw", go watch it now. Not only is it absolutely hilarious, it brings up a lot of great points about trying to fit people into your life when they don't belong there. It's also the inspiration for this outstanding conversation with Bri's platonic soulmate, Karalee. Join the girls as they talk about how it feels to feel stuck with someone who just doesn't fit into your life the way you thought they would. And then there's the age old question, do you have to love yourself before you can really love someone else?

    We know it's been a long time since we published an episode, but we've been discussing making some changes to our podcast recently. So stay tuned for updates on a possible platform change. In the meantime, you can now follow our instagram! @messyminds.podcast

  • Episode 10: The Girls Talk About Friendship
    To kick off this episode of Messy Minds, Bri and Chelsea compare their natal charts. I know what you're going to say... Astrology isn't real. It's okay, because it's all about looking at your life from as many different perspectives as possible. That's how you figure out who you are and how you need to improve. But then the girls get down to what this episode is all about, which is friendship. As always, the girls touch on the good, the bad, and the ugly. How it is just as important to nurture your caring friendships as it is to cut off your toxic ones.
