Vertically Unstable

TAKE TWO - without the audio issues! In this wildly relatable episode, Kelly and Christy take a hard left from mushroom coffee mishaps into the chaotic, overpriced, and often contradictory world of “wellness.” From supplements that promise Rapunzel hair and eternal youth (but taste like regret), to the rebranding of diet culture into “gut health,” “hormone balance,” and “anti-inflammatory everything,” nothing is safe from their sharp, hilarious takedown.

Between stories of parenting fails, sleepless nights, hormonal roulette, and a rental property disaster that will make your eye twitch, the conversation digs into a deeper question: are we actually getting healthier or just more anxious trying?

They unpack the pressure to optimize every inch of our lives, the marketing machine behind it all, and the quiet rage simmering under the surface for women juggling careers, motherhood, aging bodies, and a world that won’t stop shouting “do better.”

It’s honest. It’s unfiltered. It’s occasionally unhinged.

And if you’ve ever bought a supplement at 2am thinking it might fix your life… this one’s for you!

After weeks of travel and life doing the absolute most, Kelly and Christy are back catching up on everything from travel fails and food regrets to parenting moments and the mental gymnastics of holding it all together.It's part life update, part therapy session, part stand-up comedy... and completely unfiltered.If you like your conversations real, relatable and slightly unhinged, welcome home.

In honor of International Women’s Day, Kelly and Christy celebrate the women who quietly (and not so quietly) keep the world spinning. From the surprising inventions created by women to the invisible mental load of running a household, they dive into the hilarious reality of modern womanhood.

Along the way, they imagine what aliens might think if they landed on Earth, debate whether meal planning deserves its own Olympic sport, and marvel at powerhouse women like Serena Williams who somehow manage to dominate life both on and off the court.

It’s a funny, honest conversation about the chaos, the competence, and the occasional mozzarella-stick-fueled coping strategy that comes with being a woman in today’s world.

Celebrate the laughs, the grit, and the glorious madness with Kelly and Christy on this special episode of Vertically Unstable. 🎧💥

Petty? Maybe. Honest? Always. Kelly and Christy are breaking down pet peeves, public behavior, and the surprisingly complex world of everyday etiquette. From gym grudges to airport chaos to competitive sports parents, they’re saying what we’re all thinking. It’s sharp, funny, and just self-aware enough to admit… we might be the problem too.

Female friendships are not a bonus feature in life. They are the infrastructure. 🩷

In this episode of Vertically Unstable, Kelly and Christy unpack the science, the soul, and the straight up survival power of sisterhood. From the “tend and befriend” response to why your group chat doubles as emergency services, we explore why women are biologically wired for connection and how that bond literally impacts longevity.

We talk about widows building Golden Girls style futures, why loneliness can be as harmful as smoking, and how a tight circle of women can regulate your nervous system better than a meditation app. Add a dog to the equation and you’ve basically hacked your cortisol.

We also get honest about the warmth that lives in female friendship. The difference between being loved by your partner and being known by your friends. The role attachment plays in how we choose our inner circle. And how to tell if you have real friends or just proximity pals.

This one is a reminder to text the woman who carried you through something hard. To celebrate your friends without competition. To build the kind of sisterhood that outlives everything else.

Romance may be the headline. Sisterhood is the infrastructure. 💫

In this episode of Vertically Unstable, Kelly and Christy are riding the emotional bobsled that is February. From their sacred Thursday podcast ritual to family milestones and a surprisingly intense macaron adventure, nothing is off the table.

They dive headfirst into the drama and magic of the Winter Olympics, unpacking the sports they love, the ones they absolutely question, and the comeback story everyone is talking about, including Lindsey Vonn’s gutsy return that had the world holding its breath.

Along the way, they tackle the chaos of Valentine’s Day as parents, the real talk on health and hormone balance, and the cultural spectacle that is Super Bowl commercials. Add in a little Olympic fashion commentary and you’ve got an episode packed with laughs, heart, and just enough side-eye.

Strap on your skates. It’s a ride. 🎙️❄️

January lasted approximately 500 business days, the sun ghosted us, and suddenly everyone was crying over spilled coffee. Coincidence? Kelly and Christy don’t think so.

In this episode, the duo bundles up and dives headfirst into winter blues, emotional whiplash, chaotic travel stories, and the special endurance sport known as parenting during volleyball season.

They talk self-care that actually works, social media spirals we all pretend we don’t have, and why making your bed might be the most ambitious thing you do all day. Equal parts therapy, group chat, and laugh-snort fuel, this one is for anyone who has ever asked, “Is it just me… or is everything a lot right now?”

What happens when the internet declares slow living and analog luxury the new status symbols… and you actually grew up that way?

Kelly and Christy dig into the trend of romanticizing unplugged, rural life and the idea that real luxury is time, simplicity, and doing things with your hands. They talk about knowledge work burnout, the appeal of cooking and tangible tasks, and why everyone suddenly wants lavender fields, baby goats in pajamas, and cows with bangs.

Then things take a turn.

A casual mention of homemade bread unlocks deeply buried childhood trauma, Christy spirals, tears threaten, and Kelly does what any great bestie would do: sits back and laughs uncontrollably.

It’s reflective, ridiculous, and painfully relatable.
Classic Vertically Unstable.
