Your Weekly Breakdown

Cait and Em are back to hang out and shoot the breeze! This week, they chat about how millennial women are out-earning millennial men and how (!!) they're also still shoulder the bulk of household work. Not shocked.

The girls chat about periods, PMDD, whether or not "traditions" are worth it, and why the way we're thinking about fitness is all wrong.

A recent Open AI model tells users whatever they want to hear, and there is no easy way to parent in the age of technology. 

Emily asks "what is something that improved the quality of your life so much that you wish you'd been doing it forever?" and Caitlin has a few of her own "would you rather" questions up her sleeve, too. 

In addition, the girls cover Iceland political news, Nashville ICE chaos, a new scientific discovery, Traitors-themed birthday parties, rant about party etiquette, and why Emily would NEVER borrow a duvet from a neighbour (EW!).

You'll feel like you're curled up on the couch with your friends chatting about life and current events.

Quiet Company:

Put that phone down, your headphones in, and let's relax.  Whether you’re doing the grocery run, en route to the gym, or watching your kids’ hockey game, pop in your headphones and we’ll be alone, together.

It can be really hard to find moments of calm these days, when we're served up non-stop, panic-inducing, click-bait headlines.  So, enough with the doom scrolling. It’s time to unwind.

This...is not a meditation podcast.  This isn't about productivity or optimization. There's no news or soapboxes to stand on.  This is just our few minutes together to chat about indulgence, self care, and simple pleasures.
