Wellness Unscripted

On today's episode Grace leads our conversation about why we cheat from the perspective of a psychotherapist, Esther Perel, and how to heal from heartbreak. This episode will challenge your existing belief system on cheating. We discuss how to not get stuck in the victim mentality by flipping the we mentality of most relationships into the me mentality.

This is a re-released episode from the podcast [#14] and will be part one in a two part series.

You’re not fine. You haven’t been for a while. And the wildest part? You actually believe you are.

“I’m fine” isn’t a lie we tell other people — it’s one we’ve been trained to tell ourselves since girlhood. Praised for being low-maintenance. Rewarded for not needing things. And now we’re adults who have completely lost track of what’s actually true.

In this episode, Grace and Kaylee break down why high-functioning women are always the last to know they’re not okay, what the body does when the mind refuses to admit it, and the moment both of them finally stopped performing fine.
Because burnout isn’t a mindset failure. It’s a physiological wall. And “I’m fine” kept you safe for a long time — but it’s costing you more than you’re admitting.

Time to put it down.

The Power of Vulnerability by Brene Brown

Today's episode we interview Dr Jenn Rapkin, a naturopathic physician, bodyworker, former dancer, and Frequent Feeler with more than 25 years of experience in mind-body and body-centered therapies. Her new book The Feeling Muscle chronicles her personal and professional transformation from physician to a shepherd of “feelings.” In her clinical practice, her bodywork table is a place to hold space for, validate, and give voice to her patients’ inner felt emotion.

We discuss what it looks like to get uncomfortable, how distractions are keeping us from connecting to our body, techniques on how to reconnect and so much more.

In this episode, we’re kicking off a brand new season (and yes… a new name) as Wellness Unscripted. We’re leaning all the way into what this podcast really is—an honest, unfiltered look at wellness… from two best friends who are very much figuring it out as we go.

Grace shares her wild (and slightly chaotic) birth story—from a snowstorm delivery to attempting an unmedicated birth—and what life has really been like as a new mom, including the unexpected realities (hello, sleep deprivation and postpartum struggles ).

We also catch up on Kaylee’s entrepreneur life, the chaos of balancing work and motherhood, and the very real moments that come with raising little ones (like sickness, burnout, and trying to survive it all).

Then we get into how we’re actually staying well right now:

• Mentally: why best friend chats double as therapy
• Emotionally: music + long hot showers
• Physically: our walking pad obsession
• Spiritually: slowing down and breathing

Plus our weekly segments:

• Hot Mess of the Week
• Wellness Win of the Week (a huge shift in women’s health you need to know about)
• Trend We’re Judging
• Listener Q&A

If you’re in your mom era (or just trying to survive life in general), this episode is for you.

Feeling in-between—no longer your old self, not quite your new one? This episode unpacks what a true transformation season looks like and how current cosmic energies (the waning Moon, 11/11 portal, and Scorpio influence) are supporting deep inner evolution.

In This Episode

• What a “season of transformation” really is
• Grace + Kaylee’s personal stories of navigating transition
• How the waning Moon invites release, slowing down, and simplification
• The 11/11 portal as a gateway for alignment + intuitive clarity
• Scorpio energy (11/19) and emotional purging, shadow work, and rebirth

When you hear the word detox, do you immediately think of juice cleanses, green shots, or a 7-day cayenne pepper fast? Don’t worry — that’s not what this episode is about. Today, we’re talking about a whole-self detox: clearing the clutter in your mind, spirit, and body so you can feel lighter, clearer, and more aligned.

In this episode, we’ll share real stories, practical tools, and simple swaps that actually work in daily life (no diet culture required ).

Mind Detox

• How mental clutter leads to decision fatigue, poor sleep, and burnout.

• A behind-the-scenes look at our own “72 tabs open” moments.

• Why social media hijacks your brain (and what to do about it).

• Simple practices like grayscale mode, journaling brain dumps, and 5-minute mindfulness hacks.

Spirit Detox

• What it really means to detox your spirit (hint: it’s about alignment, not perfection).

• Stories of burnout, over-saying “yes,” and finding reset through grounding practices.

• Tools like energy clearing, nature, and reconnecting with joy through play, art, or music.

Body Detox

• Why this is not about being skinny — it’s about supporting your body.

• Everyday detox practices: hydration, whole food swaps, sleep, and movement as medicine.

• Personal shares on what worked (and what didn’t).

• Plus, a quick shoutout to our favorite personalized gut health support, Gut Personal — use code BESTIES for 10% off.

In this week’s episode, we’re diving into an honest conversation about identity within motherhood. From navigating the shift in who we are after becoming moms, to balancing old passions with new priorities, we’re chatting through the real, unfiltered thoughts that come with this transition.

We don’t have all the answers—and that’s the point. Motherhood can feel like a tug-of-war between holding onto who you’ve always been and embracing the version of yourself that’s unfolding. In this episode, we share our experiences, the challenges, and the surprising ways we’ve discovered new parts of ourselves through this season.

If you’re a mom, mom-to-be, or simply curious about how identity evolves during life’s big changes, grab your tea (or coffee!) and come hang out with us.
