Two Degrees Hotter

this week, kylie's slowing things down and doing a little “journal with me” moment. i'm answering a handful of prompts in real time: from what i'm easily tempted by lately to how this year is actually feeling so far (not just the highlight reel version). i also get into zodiac traits i secretly relate to a little too much and talk about the small ways i'm trying to be kinder, to other people and to ourselves.

if you’ve been needing a reset, a little self-reflection, or just some prompts to think about while you’re on a walk, doing chores, or driving around, this episode is basically your permission slip to pause and check in!

this week we’re talking about our current wellness non-negotiables, aka the habits standing between us and chaos. not the 20-step routines or the perfectly curated mornings, but the small things we actually keep up with that make us feel like semi-functional humans. we get into our mental, emotional, and physical “musts,” from journaling, therapy, and aggressively limiting notifications to movement, default meals, and the routines that somehow keep our lives on track (most of the time) we close with a simple question: what are 3 things that, when you do them consistently, your life feels noticeably better? <3

hotties, consider this episode to be your permission slip to spend smarter, not just less. we’re talking through what’s worth the upgrade (hi, mattresses and every day sneakers) and what you can absolutely buy the cheaper version of. this isn’t about being frugal or bougie; it’s about knowing your priorities and making your money work for you.

this week we’re unpacking motivation! what gets us to start, what actually keeps us going, and why “i’m just lazy” is usually not the right diagnosis. we break down external motivators (money, praise, deadlines, aesthetic outcomes bc yes, we’re human) versus internal ones (curiosity, identity, mastery, emotional regulation). we also talk discipline, when it’s supportive and when it turns into self-punishment. because discipline should support your life, not override it!!!

hotties, we are exposing just how insane we are this week - we are giving you a glimpse into our google calendars. we're chatting about how we balance fitness, podcasting and dance when working a full-time job, and we give you tips on how you can both balance your side hustles and passion projects and how to determine what should be a side hustle and what should be a passion project!

hey hotties!! this week we’re getting real about what it actually looks like to become a fitness instructor. we talk how we got started, studio training vs. universal certifications, and the pros and cons of each path. we break down pay structures, training timelines, class planning, and the parts of teaching no one talks about ,especially how different it feels to teach versus take class. whether you’re just curious or seriously considering it, this episode is your no-gatekeeping, reality-check starting point <3

let's set the scene: we've graduated high school, started college, have block eyebrows and a strong will. that's right, its 2016 again. we're reflecting on what we were wearing, listening to, and doing in 2016, from hip hop dance to a bold lip to the 1975 on repeat for the last decade. it was a year so good we don't know how 2026 could top it.

it’s time for another "am i the asshole?" episode, family edition. this week we’re reacting to reddit stories involving holiday fights, weddings gone wrong, airport disasters, and relatives who simply cannot mind their business. we’re unpacking boundaries, emotional maturity, and when you’re actually allowed to say “absolutely not.” spoiler: some people are, in fact, the asshole <3

this week we’re doing a very real goals check-in, looking back at what we set out to do in 2025, what actually happened, and what quietly shifted along the way. we talk career growth, money habits, routines, movement, relationships, and the reality of trying to “do it all” in a busy season of life. some goals stuck, some didn’t, and some taught us more than we expected. consider this your reminder that growth isn’t linear, january optimism is powerful, and progress still counts, even when it looks different than planned!!!
