What We Said

Welcome to 2026 — the happiest, healthiest, funniest, most Valley Girliest year yet. Jaci and Chelsey are kicking things off with a little personal rebranding, starting with a life audit of where they’re at and where they want to go. This year’s plans include getting outside more, finally conquering pull-ups, drafting journal prompts that actually make you think, and reassessing how much a girl can realistically handle in a single day. Normally you’d be invited to kick back and relax, but this episode is all about taking action and stepping into your best self for the year ahead.

This week, the girls are wishing you a very merry Christmas Eve Eve and celebrating with a lineup of festive chaos. They’re diving into your biggest holiday pet peeves, the top dishes that should be on every seasonal table, and some piping-hot family scandals to sip on with your hot chocolate. There’s a lot of ground to cover — from potlucks with absolutely no rhyme or reason to hiding a family member’s true identity — making this the perfect mix of cozy, dramatic, and completely unhinged holiday energy.

This week, Jaci and Chelsey debate your hottest Christmas takes, because the holiday is approaching fast and there is so much to discuss. You sent in everything from whether strangers — or even straight-up enemies — should be welcomed into festive gatherings for the sake of holiday cheer, to whether wish lists are turning gift-giving into a consumerist chore instead of something magical. With plenty more cozy controversy sprinkled in, this episode is all about questioning the traditions we’ve accepted and deciding what actually makes the season feel meaningful.

This week, the girls are chatting about the best part of this season — the gifts — until they’re not so great anymore. They dive into your submissions about the worst presents you’ve ever received, and we’re not just talking about a $5 gift card to a store you’d never step foot in. There are gag gifts gone wrong, destroyed family heirlooms, and even stories involving dead pets… yes, you read that right. This episode will make you feel genuinely grateful if all Santa brings you this year is coal.

The girls are tackling the dilemmas you sent in and deciding who stands where. Things start strong with a classic inconsiderate brother-in-law and quickly spiral into wedding dodgers, family thievery, and a friendship situation so confusing it practically needs a flowchart. The lines between right and wrong will get blurred, but one thing’s for sure: the Valley girls are always correct.

This week, the girls are diving into the worst kind of chaos - sister-in-law drama.

Buckle up, this one gets messy.

It's your favorite time of the month, the advice column is here! Our girls are diving into everything from holiday homesickness (or… is it nostalgia? seasonal depression? honestly, who knows) to handling pushy family members around religion, jealousy when friends start having babies, and what to do when someone keeps copying your every move. They also unpack a very tangled friends-with-benefits situation and plenty more listener dilemmas that prove adulthood is basically one long string of “wait… how do I handle this?” conversations.

Get your tissues ready this Thanksgiving, because the annual tearjerker is back. This week, the girls are reading your heart-melting submissions to “the sweetest thing someone’s ever done for you,” and honestly, we’re not okay. From strangers stopping to help on the side of the road to partners setting the bar sky-high, and even real-life heroes showing up at the perfect moment, this episode is pure serotonin. It’s a much-needed reminder that kindness is alive and well — and if the Valley girls teach you one thing this week, it’s to never lose hope in humanity.
