Two Degrees Hotter

back in january, we set our financial goals for 2026, and now we're seeing how things are actually going: are we ahead, behind, or exactly where we thought we'd be? from asking for raises and avoiding lifestyle creep to navigating wedding expenses, home-buying conversations, and the occasional regrettable activewear purchase, we're sharing what's changed, what's stayed the same, and the money lessons we're learning in real time.

we also chat about our best purchases of the year, the things we definitely didn't need, and what we're doubling down on for the rest of 2026. if you've been wondering whether you're "on track" financially, consider this your reminder that everyone's figuring it out as they go.

this week, relationship court is officially back in session. we're diving into some of reddit's messiest dating and relationship dilemmas, from long-distance situationships and mixed signals to trust issues, breakups, and people making decisions that definitely seemed better in their heads.

before that, we catch up on our weeks, discuss why interviews are weird, recap a concert, and share a pretty expensive life update from kylie that might just be the biggest plot twist of her year!! 👀

grab a snack, bring your strongest opinions, and get ready to decide who's right, who's wrong, and who should probably log off reddit for a little while.

we're eating our words this week and talking about all the opinions, beliefs, and life rules we've completely changed our minds about. from coke zero supremacy and ballet flats to people-pleasing, career advice, weddings, workouts, and the myth of ever feeling "caught up," we're revisiting some of our worst takes and biggest perspective shifts. turns out growing up is mostly just realizing you were wrong about a lot of things. oops.

this week, we're discussing the things you quite literally could not pay us to do. from running without headphones to sharing a bed with a friend as a fully grown adult, we're making the case for some of our most random, specific, and deeply held boundaries.

along the way, we get into type-a tendencies, overthinking, airport anxiety, unread emails, discount code hunting, and the many ways we've become increasingly particular with age. plus, we're catching up on our weeks, sharing our current favorites, and celebrating a few small wins along the way.

this week, we're conducting a friendship audit. after years of podcast episodes, voice notes, life updates, and approximately one million conversations, we wanted to find out how well we actually know each other. from irrational fears and coffee orders to dream influencer niches, wishlist purchases, and the reality shows we'd (probably) win, we're guessing each other's answers and seeing if all those years of yapping have paid off. along the way, we're revisiting some friendship lore, sharing a few iconic moments from our years of friendship, and discovering that we may know each other a little too well.

plus, we're catching up on our weeks, talking summer plans, and sharing our current favorites:

we're just about halfway through the year, so it's time for a 2026 goals audit. this week we're checking in on the goals we set back in january, from marathon training and wedding planning to low-spend intentions, fitness certifications, sleep goals, and everything in between. we're talking about what's actually going well, the goals we've quietly abandoned, the ones that evolved into something completely different, and why a pivot isn't always a failure. if you've been avoiding looking at your new year's resolutions, consider this your sign to do a mid-year life admin meeting with us.

This week we're exposing all the random rules we've made up for ourselves and officially retiring a few of them. We're talking about the pressure to be productive all the time, have perfect technique, maintain the ideal hair wash schedule, keep up with trends, and somehow have it all figured out. Join us as we discuss the things we're releasing, the expectations we're questioning, and the freedom that comes from caring a little less.
