Sarah and Amanda welcome back “Patricia” (their name for the luteal phase) and reflect on how moods, energy, and perspective shift in cycles. From road rage and parenting moments to the surprising wisdom of “stop paddling,” they explore what it means to let life carry you instead of forcing it. Sarah shares insights from her therapy work on boundaries, healing, and why so many of us are finding inner strength even as the world feels heavy. Together, they remind us that phases pass, growth is constant, and joy is still allowed.

Sarah and Amanda kick off with Lizzo lyrics, a chaotic morning full of cortisol, and some very real talk about partners, parenting, and peace of mind. From the daily grind of “who got the dogs out?” to whether calling your partner “Daddy” is sexy or just confusing, the sisters dig into relationship dynamics, age gaps in dating, generational shifts in emotional intelligence, and the toxic scripts many of us inherited from our parents.

They weave in hilarious tangents about Snapchat streaks, dead phone numbers, Grindr pings at sushi restaurants, and gamified apps—before circling back to what it really means to settle (or refuse to). Expect honesty, laughter, and a few “did they just say that?” moments.

Episode 8 starts lighthearted (coffee, ovulation jokes, even couch crushes , hello) but quickly shifts into something deeper. Sarah grounds us in the heaviness of the world right now, sharing insights from her therapy practice and reminding us to fact-check before we spiral, stay soft in hard times, and keep our eyes on the horizon. From astrology notes to family stories that border on unbelievable, the sisters weave humor and history into conversations about resilience, upbringing, and what it means to stay human when the world feels chaotic.

This week, Sarah and Amanda are running on eclipse season fumes and back pain, but the vibes are still immaculate. What starts as a chaotic catch-up—emergency vet visits, new washer-dryer joy, and upcoming solo snake-sitting—turns into a powerful conversation about emotional honesty, vulnerability, and the sneaky ways we "curate" other people’s experiences (aka: control them). Sarah opens up about her realization that withholding her truth in past relationships wasn’t a communication issue—it was fear. And Amanda keeps it real with her classic Virgo blend of love and logic.

✨ Bonus content: Renaissance Faire outfit planning, K-pop Demon Hunters, and Evelyn the red queen boa constrictor.

In this hilariously honest luteal phase episode, Sarah and Amanda are synced up, spiraling, and bringing you along for the ride. From hormone-fueled rants to the science of cycle tracking, the sisters explore why we feel like entirely different people every few weeks—and how to stop blaming ourselves for it. They unpack dating during ovulation, the emotional chaos of the full moon, and yes… why James McAvoy’s “Patricia” might be the most relatable character of all time. This one’s moody, raw, and weirdly affirming. Pass the salty snacks and press play.

In this episode, Sarah and Amanda dive into everything from celebrity engagements and quirky ring stories to their own family dynamics and childhood expectations. What starts with coffee talk and Taylor Swift’s jeweler quickly unfolds into a deep conversation about imposter syndrome, parental pressures (or the lack of them), generational differences, and how those early messages shape who we become. They reflect on raising kids with curiosity and compassion, breaking cycles of silence, and redefining what it means to be “smart” or successful. Expect laughs, stories, and some honest sister banter—plus a reminder that healing and change are never too late.

In Episode 3, Sarah shares a bold shift in her personal energy after a boundary-setting moment at a bar unlocks a deeper reflection on the internalized "NICE program"—a social conditioning that teaches women to people-please at the expense of their own needs. Sarah and Amanda dig into what it means to stop apologizing for taking up space, the reality of imposter syndrome (and outgrowing it), and how personal evolution often starts with one uncomfortable moment. They also tease next week's deep dive into manifestation and how it's been shaping their lives for the past two years.
