This week we’re deep-diving into all things pop culture—starting with Taylor Swift’s brand-new album 'The Life of a Showgirl' and everything it means for her next era. Then we’re hitting the millennial nostalgia button hard, reminiscing about the Hannah Montana tour, the Jonas Brothers phenomenon, and the way film reboots keep circling back into our lives. It’s a mix of fangirl energy, cultural commentary, and a whole lot of throwback fun.

In this episode, we’re saying goodbye to summer the right way—by reminiscing about the magic (and chaos) of childhood camp days, swapping our funniest and scariest summer horror stories, and declaring once and for all why “Euro summer” is officially over. We’re also daydreaming about the perfect girls’ getaway, spilling the details on Emily’s wild 32nd birthday, and catching up on Hannah’s family vacation. Think of it as one last sun-soaked send-off before we dive into fall. We're also sharing our thoughts on Kendra & The Psychiatrist that's taking over TikTok!

In this episode, Emily opens up about breaking her own dating patterns and setting her sights on someone totally unexpected: a man in finance. Typically drawn to creative types, she shares why she's ready to mix things up, what inspired the shift, and how sometimes the person you least expect—like a guy named Brad who’s really into spreadsheets—might just be exactly what you need. It’s all about growth, self-awareness, and maybe… a bonus?

In this episode, we dive into the chaos, clarity, and transformation that came with our Saturn returns. We reflect back our episode with astrologer Lauren Ash from 2022 on where we are now post-Saturn Return. From career pivots and heartbreaks to moments of radical self-awareness, we reflect on the lessons we didn’t know we needed—but couldn’t live without. It’s a raw and honest conversation about growth in our late twenties and the unexpected ways the universe pushes us into alignment.

This week, we’re diving into the current season of Love Island—but not just for the drama. We’re unpacking how the villa has become a mirror for modern dating: no one wants to commit, everyone’s playing it cool, and real emotional connection is treated like a red flag. Enter Amaya—the rare contestant who actually feels things and isn’t afraid to show it. We’re talking about what it means to love loudly in a world that rewards detachment, why vulnerability feels radical, and how girls who care “too much” are actually the ones getting it right.

This week, we’re diving into the weird, wonderful world of finding friends as an adult. Whether you just moved to a new city, went through a breakup, or simply woke up one day and realized your circle got smaller—this episode is for you. I’m talking about how to make new friends without it feeling like dating, why it’s okay (and kind of magical) to go out alone, and how picking up new hobbies can transform your social life and sense of self. If you’ve ever Googled “how to make friends in your 30s” or stood awkwardly at a pottery class wondering if anyone will talk to you—yeah, same.

In this episode, we’re flashing back to our interview with Natalia Benson and diving into the sparkly, spiritual world of crystals, manifestation, and alignment. Whether you’re a seasoned crystal girlie or just curious about how people are using rose quartz to call in love and citrine to boost abundance, we’re breaking down how these tools can help you get intentional about what you want—and attract it. From setting intentions during a new moon to cleansing energy and trusting the universe’s timing, this is your guide to getting in alignment and calling in your best life.

We're so thrilled to be joined by astrological expert and women’s empowerment coach, Natalia Benson! Natalia shares her struggles with self-confidence in her early twenties and how that led to the goddess she is today. We discuss how to attract the life you want and the proper ways Natalia practices manifestation and alignment in her daily life. Natalia even breaks down how she was able to manifest her current relationship and she called that energy in. She even does a live practice with Hannah and Emily. We hope you gals enjoy!

From upgrading our supplements to prioritizing heart health, we're diving into all the changes that are helping us feel more grounded and in tune with our bodies. If you’re curious about where to start or just need a little inspo to get back on track, this one's for you.
