The WoMed

They say all good things must come to an end! After some thoughtful contemplation, D and Jac have made the decision to end the pod (for now). After five incredible years, it wasn’t an easy choice to make, but one they felt was necessary. The gals explain what led them here and reflect on their most cherished memories, where their friendship stands, and takeaways from their experience as podcast hosts. They also get candid about their future plans and hopes for their lives after the WoMed. We love you all so much. Thank you for everything!! And for one last time, WoMed...out!

Caitlin Crosby is the multifaceted force behind The Giving Keys, a jewelry company with a heartwarming mission to support individuals transitioning out of homelessness in Los Angeles. She is also an author, TEDx speaker, and Oprah ambassador. (Yes, you read that right! THE Orpah). In today’s episode, she is sharing her inspiring journey from the entertainment industry to entrepreneurship and how her passion project turned into a full-blown business. Caitlin's story is one of creativity, compassion, and an entrepreneurial spirit driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact rather than financial gain. Her commitment to mental health advocacy and personal growth shines through as she discusses the significance of the word "resilient" for the year, reflecting on her own challenges, including becoming a single mom. The conversation also touches on the (not always positive) evolution of social media, the therapeutic power of The Giving Keys, and Caitlin's future hopes for the brand.

With winter well under way, the gals are sitting down for a much-needed catch-up and mental health check-in. Jac and D are sharing candid updates on their lives and opening up about how they are really doing. D opens up about her current headspace and how her mental health is "mentalling" as she adjusts to life in Cleveland and gives a candid post-breakup update. While Jac is feeling mentally exhausted after her grandma’s recent health scare, she is so excited about her twin sister giving birth next month! It's safe to say the gals have a lot on the go right now and are due for a much-needed vacay somewhere warm!! Hopefully this episode serves as a reminder to take it easy on yourself this season, lean into rest and self-care, and give yourself some grace through whatever challenges you might also be facing this winter.

Out: 2023; In: 2024. Your two hosts and astrologer Valerie Mesa, all three with the beautiful middle name Marie, are back on the mic to talk about how to manifest amazing things in 2024 and what the stars have to say about the year (and decade) ahead! It turns out that the New Year is starting off in a pretty cool way astrologically, and Valerie explains why the start of this year is already indicating some signs of what is to come next. After an “emolicious” end to 2023, Danielle is ready to explore what’s in store for this year, and of course, Valarie has to do a tarot reading for your two hosts. Both of those readings end in love cards... is this a sign of things to come? Valerie also explains how your location can dictate what happens in your life according to your specific birth chart, so Danielle might have to travel to that Venus line soon to find her special someone! Plus, how is tech related to the changes ahead and why does Val think fantasy and reality are about to come head-to-head? Danielle is bursting with energy and light and Jackie is ready to get down to business, so whether you are a spiritual guru or just along for the ride, get excited to learn more about your hosts and our solar system! You can find Val on Instagram @valeriemesa to learn even more about yourself for this new chapter ahead. Happy New Year!

The ladies are back again with their annual WoMed New Years special! From reflecting on 2023 to setting intentions for 2024, D and Jac cover the good, the bad and the ugly of 2023 (because life isn’t always a highlight reel, right?!). After spending the last half of 2023 working on herself, D is f*cking elevating and ready to date again! The ladies discuss Hinge vs Raya, “solo yolo,” moments of 2023 and finally finding, “her,” again. D sets her 2024 intention of, “abundance,” while Jac intends to slow down in the new year, finding and enjoying the simple joys of life again. D and Jac talk about things they didn’t do well in 2023 and how they plan to work on it in 2024. Finally, it wouldn’t be a New Years episode without discussing Grey’s Anatomy (and let’s be honest, D’s true 2024 goal is getting caught up in Grey’s so D and Jac and watch season 20 together). So grab your journal, light some candles, bake yourself a pan of brownies and let’s reflect on the year together. Shoutout to our listeners who have been with us through this crazy year - we can’t wait to bring in 2024 with you!

Christmas came early this year! The spirits are high, and the gals are buzzing as they are joined once again by their fave in-house narcissist expert, Dr. Jamie Zuckerman, for yet another eye-opening and satisfying conversation. The episode kicks off with some fun holiday updates from D and Jac and a quick recap for those tuning in from Part 1. Dr. Z then shares empowering advice for those in the thick of narcissistic relationships and the life that awaits them on the other side. The trio explores the buzz around “heavy” terms like narcissist and gaslighting and gets into why we can’t just toss them around on a whim. Dr. Z challenges the conventional notions of self-worth we see online and offers her refreshing take on navigating through life post-trauma. Finally, Dr. Z shares more about her Holiday Help Workshop, offering tips to feel more at ease during this season, how to respond to boundary-less questions at family gatherings, and so much more. Tune in for tough love, laughs, and practical strategies to navigate the holidays with a sense of calm!
