  • are we... just working for the weekend?
    2025/09/26

    From career burnout to the pressure of finding fulfillment in your job, the gals break down what it really means to spend 90,000 hours of your life at work and what to do if every one of those hours feels like torture.

    They unpack why it’s okay if your job isn’t your passion, the freedom that comes from separating work from identity, and how hobbies, boundaries, and a little creativity can change the way you experience your nine-to-five.

    Key Topics:

    • Why your career doesn’t have to define you
    • Practical tools to cope when quitting isn’t an option
    • How comparison at work (and in life) can rob you of joy
    • The difference between stepping away vs. stepping toward in a career change
    • Dealing with the struggle of money vs. fulfillment

    If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re stuck in a cycle of living just for Friday night... this episode might be the reset you need!

  • are we... addicted to the chase?
    2025/09/19

    Season three is here (!!) and the gals are back and better than ever. After a summer of spontaneous trips, parenting chaos, and the occasional existential crisis, Jen and Maddy are diving headfirst into one of their favorite dating topics: the chase.

    Why is it that sometimes not being wanted feels more exciting than actually being wanted?

    From the rush of a story view to the infamous “want to be wanted syndrome,” Jen and Maddy break down the psychology of why we get hooked on mixed signals, the role attachment styles play, and how to tell the difference between fantasy and reality when it comes to dating.

    If you’ve ever found yourself obsessing over a text or turning a story view into a love letter -- this one’s for you, sis!

  • are we... friends forever?
    2025/05/16

    This week, Maddy and Jen dive into friendship breakups—what it means when a once-close bond starts to shift. They explore when to move on, when to reconnect, and how life changes like sobriety, divorce, or grief can shake up your inner circle.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Friendships often fade more than they explode—and that’s normal.
    • Life transitions (like moving, getting married, or getting sober) can shift who feels aligned.
    • It’s okay to reach back out, even after time has passed.
    • Not all relationships are meant to last forever—and that doesn’t make them failures.
    • You can grieve a friendship the same way you grieve a breakup.

  • are we... confusing chemistry for compatibility?
    2025/05/02

    Dating can feel like a full-time job—and when you finally meet someone who seems normal enough, it’s tempting to skip the slow burn and dive in headfirst. But before you have the “what are we?” conversation, Maddy and Jen want you to take a breath.

    This week, the gals are breaking down green flags, dealbreakers, and the questions you really need to ask before locking it down.

    Three questions to ask before defining the relationship:

    • Is it chemistry or compatibility?
    • Do we want the same things out of life—at least in the near term?
    • How does this person show up when things aren’t easy?

  • are we... freaking out about fertility?
    2025/04/25

    This week Maddy and Jen are diving into a topic that hits hard no matter where you are in life: fertility.

    Whether you're partnered, single, child-free by choice, or deep into planning, Maddy and Jen unpack what it means to want (or not want) kids—while confronting timelines, social pressure, and the emotional rollercoaster of egg freezing and family planning.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Fertility is a mind game as much as a medical one. Whether you're actively trying, freezing your eggs, or not sure what you want yet, the emotional toll of fertility decisions can be intense—and it's okay to feel all of it.
    • There’s no “right” timeline. The pressure to hit milestones by a certain age is real, but not always helpful.
    • Couples therapy isn’t just for crises. If you and your partner are on different pages about timing, money, or readiness, talking it out before it becomes a problem can make a huge difference.
    • Supporting friends through fertility struggles is tricky—but doable.
      Radical acceptance, clear boundaries, and reminding yourself that their pregnancy doesn't threaten your future one is key.
