Today, we’re diving into the world of friendships—the real, the messy, the meaningful. As kids, making friends came naturally. But as adults? It takes effort, intention, and sometimes a little vulnerability. In this episode, we’re unpacking why adult friendships matter so much, why they can be so hard to maintain, and how to build deeper connections in a world that often pulls us in every direction.

So, settle in, and let’s talk about the friendships that shape us.

We sat down to reflect on Love Is Blind—not just the drama, but what it reveals about dating, vulnerability, and connection in today’s world.
Is love really blind? After witnessing emotional proposals through a wall, messy breakups in paradise, and a whole lot of ‘I do… or don’t,’ we’re not so sure.

We sat drown to dissect every steamy, messy, and what in the actual F%&# moment from the hit TV show Temptation Island. Join us for the laughs, the drama, and the uncomfortable truths about what it really means to date someone you just don’t trust...

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with our amazing co-host Meg for an intimate conversation about the messy, emotional journey of breaking up. We open up about what it really feels like to let go, the struggle of moving forward, and the process of rediscovering who we are on the other side. Whether you're in the thick of it or looking back from a distance, this one's for anyone who's ever had to piece themselves back together.

We brought our old friend Emily on deck to share her passion for dog training and all things canine health and well-being. Get ready for a peek into her world—it’s full of paws, play, pup love, and one absolutely wild story from our 20s that involves a bar, a girls night out , and—believe it or not—a couple of unsuspecting porn stars.

Today, we’re joined by Karen, who spent almost a decade working in the adult store industry. From hilarious customer encounters to the evolution of the business, she’s here to pull back the curtain on a world many are curious about but few truly understand.

Huge thanks to Karen for sharing her stories! If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave us a review. And if you’ve ever had a funny or memorable experience in an adult store, drop us a message—we’d love to hear it!

Adoption is a powerful and moving experience that fulfills the dreams of women and men who long to be parents, yet we rarely hear the heartfelt stories from the women who lovingly bring these precious children into the world. We sat down with Lindsey to hear her uplifting story of choosing adoption and the secret she kept hidden for far too long.

We sat down with local author and all-around amazing human Lindsey Leahy to chat about her new book, Take It All Apart.

Take It All Apart offers a safe space for introspection and self-discovery. The combination of thought-provoking prompts, guided questions, and elements of self-love, encourages and guides you to embrace vulnerability and acknowledge your own experiences and emotions through meaningful self-reflection.

This isn't just a book, it's an internal journey.
