Do you ever poke fun at your friends and wonder if you went too far? This week, Rachelle and Alyssa dive deep into the nuances of joking, annoyance levels (on a scale of 1 to 3, obviously), and why being perceived in public is basically the worst. We talk about pet-sitting a very anxious golden retriever, cry about how hard it is to have big feelings, and go on a spiral about language, specifically why "arbitrary" might not be the best word for it.

We also tackle:

• The difference between habits and routines (and why calling routines “lazy” got under our skin)
• Why some sunglasses are basically invisibility cloaks
• Trauma dumping vs. genuine connection
• That time Alyssa almost peed her pants, but still hasn’t peed outside

Plus, we bring back our favorite card deck for a few self-reflective questions, and Rachelle shares a beautiful story about missing her cousin, Tyler.

Ever feel like your life is one long “oops”? Same. This week, we're serving you part two before part one (don’t worry, it still makes sense—we think). Consider it our Tarantino era.

Rachelle and Alyssa are back after a six-week recording break, and we dive straight into chaotic life updates: creepy parking lot encounters, disappearing cottage cheese, Costco betrayal, and a grocery run from hell. Alyssa talks about starting her new job, battling imposter syndrome, and the totally normal meltdown that followed. Plus, we explore routines vs. structure, how to budget your willpower, and why high-functioning anxiety deserves its own little award show.

Later, we head down PolyLane™ for an honest and hilarious check-in on Rachelle’s polyamorous journey, complete with Spotify playlists, relationship hierarchies, and the ongoing quest for compersion (aka the opposite of jealousy). Alyssa asks thoughtful questions, and Rachelle overshares. It’s perfect.

🎙️ This one’s part therapy session, part catching up with your hilarious besties. Part one will drop next week, so don’t panic—we’ve got you.

Is it still considered a burrito if you eat it like a bowl? In this episode, Alyssa shares a hilariously specific Chipotle habit that leads to a surprisingly passionate discussion about tortilla textures. From the comfort of a blanket-covered office, Rachelle and Alyssa dive into post-holiday reflections, self-care routines, and the joy of getting back to their weekly catch-ups.

Rachelle recaps her plan to document her enormous in-law family with Polaroids at their annual Family Christmas, while Alyssa reflects on a season that felt... off. They compare stocking-stuffer MVPs, mysterious toaster trends, and what happens when you're the best gift giver in the family.

Also in this episode:

• The unspoken hell of water dripping down your arms while washing your face
• Puzzle games as morning motivation
• The awkward politics of book clubs, boundaries, and lingering exes
• A surprisingly deep review of Heretic and Nosferatu
• Plus, a new stroll down Poly Lane with a recap of recent dating misadventures (RIP to the guy who ghosted on January 1)

We’re back with two episodes this week (thanks to some packing chaos), and in this one, we’re talking all things Thanksgiving, family chaos, and emotional growth. Rachelle shares her surprisingly peaceful holiday and a not-so-peaceful moment of realizing she might have a few resentments to unpack. Alyssa dives into her experience with food noise, and the two reflect on therapy breakthroughs, emotional boundaries, and mushy textures. It’s candid, cozy, and full of those “yep, same” moments. Come hang out and get deep (and funny) with us!

In this episode, Alyssa and Rachelle get deep and personal as they explore the concept of internal “parts” — including the child, the parent, and the adult — and how those roles appear in therapy, daily life, and relationships. They reflect on how perfectionism, OCPD tendencies, and unspoken “rules” shape their experiences and interactions. Rachelle shares an honest look at struggles in her marriage, unpacking everything from emotional labor and resentment to feeling seen and validated in a partnership. The episode closes with a candid conversation about external validation, living between a 5 and a 7, and the power of creating vulnerable, safe spaces in relationships.

Fresh from a wedding weekend, Rachelle and Alyssa recap the chaos and charm of officiating, maid-of-honoring, and trying not to trip over long dresses—or their own words. They dive into what it really means to “put your mask on first,” knowing when your cup is full, and finding balance when you're an overthinking people-pleaser.
