You’ll hear about the surprise getaway that brought peace, a roadside rescue that changed the mood of an entire day, and even the dramatic farewell to “Frank,” an unruly eyebrow hair. With heartfelt conversations, a touch of tough love, and plenty of laughs, this episode reminds us that self-care can be found in big adventures, small pauses, and the people who lift us up.

What happens when you stumble upon a house that feels like it already knows you? In this unforgettable episode of The Unicorn Projects, Tina and Jenny share the wild, emotional, and deeply personal story of how they found and fought for the home that changed everything.

From a spontaneous detour off Highway 16 to secret unlocked doors and a full-blown renovation mission, this is no ordinary home-buying tale. You'll laugh at coffee explosions and demo day disasters, and maybe even tear up as the women describe how this fixer-upper became the center of their family life, creativity, and love.

With Tina’s visionary eye for transformation and Jenny’s heart for heritage, their story proves that sometimes, the best homes are the ones that find you. This is a warm, funny, and heartfelt reminder that a house becomes a home not just through walls and windows, but through intention, grit, and a whole lot of love.

In Part 2 of this deeply personal series, the tension comes to the surface. Fresh out of the hospital, Tina refuses to slow down, brushing off rest, minimizing her pain, and trying to power through. Jenny reaches a breaking point and calls her out in a raw and emotional exchange that stops the conversation in its tracks.

What follows is a powerful shift. As Tina listens to Jenny’s hurt, she begins to see the impact of her choices, not just on herself, but on the people who love her. It's a wake-up call wrapped in love, frustration, and truth. This moment of clarity reminds us that healing isn't just physical.

This week on The Unicorn Projects, the crew gets real about pain, healing, and what it means to take care of the only body you've got.

In this deeply moving episode, Jenny, Tina and Amy open their hearts to talk about grief in all its forms. The kind that knocks you to your knees, the kind that lingers for decades, and the kind that transforms who you are. What began as a listener’s message about losing a daughter becomes a powerful, soul-baring conversation about the deaths of Amy’s stepson Parker, their beloved grandmothers, and Tina’s Uncle Charles.

Together, they speak the names of the people they’ve lost, share the beauty of their lives, and reflect on the pain that still echoes. With tears, laughter, and raw honesty, they remind us that grief is not something to get over. It’s something we carry, grow with, and sometimes even find unexpected gifts in.

If you are grieving, this episode is for you. You are not alone. Your tears are welcome here. Your love still matters. And the people you miss… they matter too.

This one is pure gold. Jenny and Tina return from an inspiring weekend at the Medora Girls Golf Camp, where they coached, encouraged, and learned just as much as the young athletes they mentored. From keynote speeches to leadership panels to sunscreen and suckers, the episode is packed with laughter, heart, and big lessons about resilience, confidence, and staying grounded. They share stories of the incredible young girls they met, including a future leader already earning college credits, and break down how sports can shape more than just skills. It shapes character. You'll learn about the life-changing power of box breathing, why “boomshakalaka” is the new mental reset, and how volunteering just might be the best way to refill your cup. If you’ve ever needed a reminder that mentorship matters and leadership starts young, this is the episode to hear.

They also dig into the power of setting boundaries, the beauty of solo travel, and the unexpected magic of finding your soulmate when you're finally ready. This one is for anyone who's ever felt bone tired and needed permission to say it out loud. Grab a coffee, get cozy, and let yourself feel seen.
