You'd Be Surprised Podcast

In this New Year kickoff episode of You’d Be Surprised, Becca and Chelsea welcome listeners back after the holidays and reflect on the transition into 2026. They recap Christmas and New Year’s traditions, from family gatherings and ice skating to holiday trips and game nights, while acknowledging the emotional highs and lows that can come with the season.

The conversation shifts into a candid discussion about New Year’s goals—why they set them, why they don’t, and how intentions can evolve throughout the year. Becca shares her growing passion for thrifting and her plan to open a small vintage booth, while Chelsea talks about creating less and consuming less, especially on social media.

They dive into deeper topics including money management in marriage, separate bank accounts, and the anxiety many women feel around finances. Becca also opens up about infertility, miscarriage, embryo adoption, and the emotional and financial complexities of growing a family, offering a raw and thoughtful perspective on choices that aren’t often discussed openly.

The episode wraps with reflections on what they’re leaving behind in the previous year—comparison, overconsumption, unrealistic expectations—and what they hope to bring into 2026, including more patience, authenticity, cozy homes, and age-appropriate celebrations. As always, they invite listeners to nominate themselves or other “badass women” to be guests on the podcast.

After a long holiday break, Chelsea and Becca are back and catching up on everything from the haunting Housemaid movie twist and Sydney Sweeney’s performance to the latest binge-worthy shows like Landman, Stranger Things, and The Way Home. They dive into Hollywood drama with the alleged “Mean Girls” mom club, reality-TV updates from Sister Wives, MomTok, and Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and even tackle darker true-crime and political headlines—from shocking abuse cases to international power plays. It’s a wide-ranging, unfiltered chat that feels exactly like two friends trying to make sense of the world after the holidays.

In this episode of The Surprise Podcast, hosts Chelsea and Becka sit down with Kathy Schroeder, the creator behind Cache Valley Buzz, a popular local social media platform highlighting events, businesses, and community stories throughout Cache Valley. Kathy shares her deep roots in the valley, growing up in Hyrum as a self-described “national park kid,” and how leaving—and eventually returning—helped her fully appreciate the community she now promotes.

Kathy walks listeners through her journey from theater and education to motherhood, candidly discussing postpartum depression, identity shifts, and the long-term guilt many mothers carry—along with a powerful realization that she was a better mom than she ever gave herself credit for. She also reflects on marriage, raising three children, and approaching the empty-nester phase of life.

The conversation dives into the origin and growth of Cache Valley Buzz, including how Kathy turned a passion project into a business through brand partnerships, event promotion, and community storytelling. She explains her weekly event rundowns, love for nostalgic local history, and fascination with Cache Valley’s haunted lore—including interviews tied to the nunnery in Logan Canyon and well-known local ghost stories.

Listeners also get a glimpse into Kathy’s personal interests, from comedy and true crime to hiking, travel, and big future goals—both professionally and personally. The episode wraps with Kathy sharing her vision for expanding Cache Valley Buzz and continuing to celebrate the place she deeply loves.

In this holiday episode, Chelsea and Becca jump into all things Christmas — the magic, the chaos, the mom-pressure, and the funny (and painful) realities of gift-giving. From husbands who have zero clue what's under the tree, to advent calendar fails, to kids who don’t care about Christmas outings the way moms dream they will, this episode is equal parts hilarious and relatable.

They unpack childhood nostalgia vs. “mom Christmas,” why we’re all terrified of disappointing our kids, and the emotional punch of realizing these chaotic seasons won’t last forever.

Plus — 3D printers, Elf on the Shelf bonding moments, staying in hotels to watch Home Alone, wrapping-rule culture shock, and some very questionable international holiday traditions (yes, including the pooping log 🤣).

Whether your house is calm, chaotic, or you’re just trying to get gifts wrapped on time, this episode reminds you: be present, enjoy the messy moments, and let yourself off the hook.

In this jam-packed episode of You’d Be Surprise, Becca and Chelsie speed through a week full of opinions, pop culture chaos, and jaw-dropping internet stories.

The conversation spirals into viral TikTok madness, bizarre side hustles people use to make money, shocking true crime headlines, unsettling court cases, and global news tragedies, all wrapped up with TV recommendations and a holiday sign-off. It’s candid, funny, uncomfortable, and very on-brand chaos.

In this episode, we sit down with sisters Emme and Savannah, the owners of Studio Fit, to talk about their journey from high-fitness fanatics to leaders in the growing “muscle mommy” and low-impact strength movement. They open up about transitioning from instructors to business owners, managing a big team of mostly women, and navigating tough conversations with empathy and boundaries. We dive into what they look for when hiring new instructors, how they’ve built a supportive and inclusive community, and the reality of balancing motherhood, marriage, and entrepreneurship. They also share the behind-the-scenes process of creating their brand-new Studio Fit app — a project that took months of demos, pivots, late-night planning, and lots of learning. The sisters reflect on how running a business together has strengthened their relationship, what their biggest disagreements usually stem from, and how communication, humility, and having each other’s back keeps everything moving forward. We wrap up with their advice for anyone wanting to start a business with family, plus a look at their personal outlets outside of fitness — from bubble baths and books to concerts and thrifting. Tune in to hear their story, their heart, and what’s next for Studio Fit.
