In this episode, Natalie and Nadja are back from their holiday in Finland and bringing the post-trip reflections — from forest stillness to soft life dreams. 🌲✨

We get into the beauty industry’s ever-changing standards — and how they’re designed to keep us doubting ourselves. Because if we’re busy feeling like sh*t about our faces, bodies, or style, we’re more likely to buy the cream, the serum, the new must-have product that’ll "fix" it. Spoiler alert: It’s all part of the game — and it keeps us small.

We also touch on the Sydney Sweeney x American Eagle campaign and the quiet controversy brewing around it — even if we didn’t deep-dive, we had thoughts.

Come sip on the tea about beauty trends, self-image, and why your power doesn't come from fitting in — it comes from waking up. 🔥

In today’s episode, AITA Reddit delivers back acne drama you didn’t see coming, a wife pulling some bold travel moves, and human waste turned into a weapon — the internet’s gift that keeps on giving.

And of course, we couldn’t ignore our TikTok haters. We read their hate comments out loud and turned their nonsense into prime entertainment. You wanted attention? Congrats, you’re content now.

Welcome to chaos, served fresh and full of nonsense.

First up: the hot guy update — who’s still texting us back and who’s straight-up ghosting like it’s an Olympic sport. Then, we jump headfirst into the Karen Read trial chaos — all the weird twists, shady moves, and WTF moments from the “investigation.” And naturally, we wrap things up with our favorite tradition: Douche of the Week (because there’s always a winner) plus the Kings & Queens who actually earned their crowns. Grab your snacks, this episode’s got it all!

A hottie entered Natalie’s orbit and suddenly we’re all paying very close attention. Is it serious? Who knows. Is it content? Absolutely.

But we’re not all giggles and gossip—this week we’re also breaking down the recent ICE raids and the devastating situation in Gaza. Staying informed is part of the vibe.

👑 Pedro Pascal? Still a Zaddy. No notes.

Plus, a fun throwback to awkward dating stories and the “icks” we can’t shake. Real talk on patriarchy, social media, and the chaos of OnlyFans. Tune in!

In this episode, we share our very different - and sometimes divided - takes on the Handmaid’s Tale latest developments. Spoiler alert for S6E9! Then we shift gears to one of the most talked-about and heaviest stories right now: the P Diddy trial. We discuss the abuse allegations, the emotional impact on survivors, and why being cautious with trust has never felt more important. And psst… Keep listening to the end to hear how we really feel about The Handmaid’s Tale.

Power outages, TV trauma, psychic visions, and sex toy confessions - this episode truly covers it all. We dive into a chaotic week that includes a blackout across southern Europe, deep emotional damage from a few key TV deaths (consider this your soft spoiler alert), a psychic’s take on Natalie’s love life, a canceled date that somehow leads to a lemon-shaped surprise, and our thoughts on the Met Gala outfits (because we just couldn't skip it). It’s messy, honest, and very us.
