In this episode, we’re diving into the ins and outs of 2025—what’s trending, what’s tired, and what’s totally transformative. From the latest in fashion (think quiet luxury with a playful twist) to social media shifts (RIP overly curated feeds), we’re breaking down what’s defining the year ahead. We’ll also chat about dating trends, like the rise of "main character energy" over chasing situationships, and wellness, where cyclical living and hormone health are taking center stage. Whether it’s how we’re working, dressing, or navigating relationships, this year is all about authenticity, connection, and a little sparkle of joy. Let’s set the vibe for 2025!

is episode, we’re tackling the ultimate holiday challenge: staying jolly when the world feels like it’s on fire (because honestly, it kind of is). From dodging family drama like it’s a holiday sport to finding joy in burnt cookies and bargain bin decorations, we’re here to remind you that perfection is overrated and small wins count big. Whether you’re soloing the season, trying to vibe with your chosen family, or just figuring out how to not spiral into existential dread while untangling lights, we’ve got you covered with humor, practical tips, and a sprinkle of festive cheer. Let’s survive—and maybe even thrive—this holiday season, one ugly sweater at a time!

In this episode, we’re spilling the tea on invisible labor—the mental gymnastics and emotional juggling women do daily that often go unnoticed (like remembering your partner’s mom’s birthday or magically knowing when the milk is about to run out). We’re diving into why it’s exhausting, how it sneaks into our relationships and work lives, and most importantly, how to shift the balance without losing your sanity. With relatable stories, practical tips, and a few laughs along the way, we’re here to help you call out the invisible load and start sharing the to-do list like a boss.
