We've returned for Season 3 after months apart, with both of us navigating wildly different paths from bodybuilding competitions to wedding preparations. Our separate journeys finally converge as we catch up on everything we've missed.

• Multiple trips to Florida for cheer competitions where both kids performed well and hit "zero deduction" routines
• Intense bodybuilding prep including doing cardio while watching the kids playing in the pool
• Day-of show nutrition strategies involving bags of rice, rice cakes, pancakes and almond butter
• Palm Springs bachelorette weekend coinciding with Stagecoach festival, requiring creative transportation solutions
• Being "kicked out" by another rheumatologist despite ongoing health issues and suspected Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
• Both participating in ketamine therapy for mental health (more details in next week's episode)
• Adjusting to major life changes including quitting jobs and children becoming high school seniors
• Summer plans including hiking and spending more time together

Stay tuned for next week's episode where we'll discuss our experiences with ketamine therapy!

Two best friends hosts Heather and Lacey accidentally create podcast magic when they hit record during their pre-show garden chat. What unfolds is a genuine glimpse into female friendship at its most authentic—unfiltered, unpredictable, and utterly relatable.

The conversation meanders through linguistic quirks (like unconsciously adopting accents from people around you) before diving into contrasting approaches to fitness and body image. Heather details her disciplined preparation for an upcoming bodybuilding competition, while Lacey humorously laments how her body "keeps the sweets and gets rid of anything of actual value" due to IBS—a refreshing counterpoint to perfectionistic health narratives.

We witness a celebration of professional growth as host Heather describes how removing "dead weight" from her life allowed her various careers to flourish simultaneously. From personal training to podcasting, spray tanning, and fitness instruction, her renaissance approach to career-building reflects the modern reality of the gig economy where professionals combine multiple passions.

Perhaps most entertaining is the unexpected discovery of "Caged Ladies," a dating website for prisoners that sparks an illuminating discussion about accountability, manipulation, and the psychology behind seeking relationships with incarcerated individuals. What begins as casual banter transforms into surprisingly insightful social commentary.

Throughout it all, authentic friendship shines brightest. The unscripted nature creates moments of surprising vulnerability, like when one host confesses, "I only yap with you"—a simple statement that perfectly encapsulates the special trust in close friendships. Enjoy this raw, unfiltered slice of friendship that reminds us all why our most treasured relationships are those where we can simply be ourselves.

Ever been blindsided by learning what someone really thinks about you? This raw, unfiltered episode dives into a jaw-dropping Reddit "Am I the Asshole" story that left us both stunned—a woman who overheard her boyfriend of eight years telling his friend he feels "disgusted" when he kisses her and wishes he was with someone else. Yet somehow, she's asking how to make him fall in love with her instead of walking away.

The conversation spirals into a deeper exploration of relationship red flags that many of us miss or ignore. From partners who constantly blame their exes for everything, to the slow isolation from friends and family, to those who give and withhold affection as a form of control—we break down the warning signs from our own experiences and mistakes. We discuss the fine line between showing interest in your partner's hobbies versus completely changing your personality to mirror theirs, and why constant small lies eventually create irreparable cracks in your foundation.

What makes this episode particularly powerful is our honesty about our own past relationships. We share stories about manipulative exes, the yo-yo effect of being someone's backup plan, and how trauma responses can make it harder to recognize unhealthy patterns. We challenge the cultural messaging that relationships should be difficult or that you need to "complete" each other when the truth is that the healthiest connections happen between two already-whole people who enhance each other's lives.

Whether you're recovering from heartbreak, questioning your current relationship, or trying to build better patterns for the future, this episode offers both compassionate understanding and the tough love you might need to hear. Because sometimes the most important relationship advice isn't about how to make someone love you—it's about learning when it's time to love yourself enough to walk away.
