This week on Let’s Get the Neighbors Talking, it’s just us—Courtney & Lauren—headphone-less, guest-less, and maybe a little bra-less (kidding… kinda). Think of it as our own Bravo-style tell-all, but with fewer Housewives and more crystal energy.

We dive into the questions YOU sent us, covering:
💀 Our biggest fears (yep, we went deep right away)
🎨 Favorite colors, clothes, and why Zara still hits
💎 How we became certified crystal healers (spoiler: one click away from destiny)
☕ Coffee vs. tea and daily routines as moms + business owners
✨ The crystal moments that made us go “holy sh*t, this is real”

It’s honest, a little chaotic, and very us. Whether you’re walking, driving, or crying about sending your kid to college—we’re right there with you.

What if the secret to success wasn’t hustling harder—but stepping back, creating space, and saying no to the BS? In this episode of Let’s Get the Neighbors Talking, we’re sitting down with our marketing muse and Lauren's girl crush, Katie Wight—founder and CEO of Strong Brand Social. She’s built a multimillion-dollar business by breaking all the “rules” of online marketing… and we’re obsessed.

Katie’s helped us get off the content hamster wheel and run Moon & Stone with less chaos and way more clarity. But this convo? It’s about so much more than social media. We dive into what it really looks like to build a business and a life that honors your joy and protects your peace.

We talk about:
💻 Why Katie said “no thanks” to hustle culture—and built a thriving biz anyway
🌍 How she runs her company from ANYWHERE she wants without losing her mind (or her weekends)
💭 Making space for creativity, rest, and big ideas (without the guilt)
❌ Letting people be wrong about you—and doing it your way anyway
❤️‍🔥 How to actually have your own back in life and business

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a busy mom, or just feeling the weight of “more, more, more”—this one will inspire you to slow down, tune in, and start living (and working) on your own terms.

Let’s get into it… because joy? It’s the real flex.

What happens when the dream of becoming a mom doesn’t look the way you thought it would? In this episode of Let’s Get the Neighbors Talking, we’re sitting down with our gal Ashley Russ—fitness instructor, community builder, and new mama via surrogacy—for a raw, honest look at infertility, IVF, and choosing a different path to motherhood.

Ashley kept her journey private for years. Now? She’s an advocate, a voice for others navigating fertility treatments, and a fierce reminder that your story is valid—no matter how “messy,” emotional, or unconventional it looks.

We talk about:
👶 The decision to pursue surrogacy—and the question that changed everything
💉 What going through IVF actually feels like (it’s a lot, emotionally and physically)
🤫 Why Ashley didn’t tell anyone about her fertility journey at first
🧾 The behind-the-scenes logistics of surrogacy (yes, there are contracts + legal hurdles)
💔 The mental toll of “not suffering enough” and how she moved through it
❤️ How she's now helping other families build their own through advocacy + her new career

This episode is for anyone who's in it—the waiting, the wondering, the trying—not just to get pregnant, but to stay hopeful. It’s also for the people who love them, support them, and want to understand what this ride really looks like.

No fluff. No toxic positivity. Just real talk, resilience, and the reminder that your desire to become a parent is enough—and so are you.

Tummy tucks. Boob jobs. Labiaplasty (yep, we said it). You’ve got questions—and in this episode, we’re asking all of them.

This week on Let’s Get the Neighbors Talking, we sit down with Dr. Ashley Amalfi, a board-certified plastic surgeon and mom of two, who’s on a mission to take the shame and secrecy out of cosmetic surgery. From postpartum belly changes to perimenopausal “WTF is this new back fat,” we’re breaking down what’s actually happening in our bodies—and what you can do about it.

Here’s what we cover (no filter, no fluff):
💬 What actually happens during a mommy makeover—and why it’s not just about looking cute
🧠 The hormonal chaos behind “Looking like Spongebob Squarepants ” and other delightful midlife surprises
💥 Labiaplasty 101: what it is, who gets it, and why women need to talk about it
🧃 How surgery, self-love, and feminism can all exist in the same conversation
🧘‍♀️ Plus: how Dr. Amalfi manages motherhood, surgery, her own brand—and still makes time for yoga

This isn’t about telling you to get surgery. It’s about reminding you that you deserve to feel at home in your body—whatever that looks like for you.

Whether you’ve considered a procedure or just want someone to explain why your pants don’t fit the same anymore, this one’s for you.

Follow Dr. Ashley Amalfi on Instagram @drashleyamalfi for behind-the-scenes peeks at her work, honest convos about women’s bodies and her family life!

Ever feel like you’re doing everything right—and still feel totally disconnected from yourself? In this episode of Let’s Get the Neighbors Talking, we’re unpacking what it really means to come home to your own energy again.

Our guest is Brett Richardson—yoga instructor, sound healer, and community builder—but this convo isn’t just about yoga poses or gongs. It’s about how to get out of your head and back into your body. It’s about reclaiming your peace, even when life is full, loud, and nonstop.

We talk about:
🌀 How to shift from doing to being—without giving up your ambition
🧘‍♀️ Why nervous system regulation matters more than your step count
🎧 What sound healing actually does to your body (science + soul, friends)
🌿 The truth about burnout and how to know if you’re headed there
💗 How crystals and intuitive energy work can support you—even if you’re skeptical
🧠 And how old stories (like “I’m not good enough”) might still be running your show

Whether you’re new to yoga or deep into your healing era, this one’s a reminder: you don’t need to be fixed—you just need to feel again.

Real rest. Real energy work. Real talk.
Tune in and let yourself exhale.

In this episode, we’re diving into something that’s rarely talked about—but desperately needs to be: postpartum depression, and how psychedelics are being used to treat it.

We’re joined by Laura Jochens—a licensed therapist, clinical researcher, and mom of three—who’s at the forefront of groundbreaking studies using psilocybin (aka mushrooms) to support women navigating postpartum mental health.

This convo is eye-opening, affirming, and packed with info every woman should hear, whether you’re postpartum, perimenopausal, or just feel like a shell of yourself right now.

We talk about:
🍄 What psychedelic treatment for postpartum actually looks like
🧠 How psilocybin activates the brain to reprocess trauma
💊 The real signs of postpartum depression (even when you look “fine”)
🙅‍♀️ Why you don’t have to go off meds to participate in these studies
🧪 How to find clinical trials (and Laura’s go-to microdosing brand)

In this episode, we’re sitting down with Crystal Singer—a clinical hypnotherapist, life coach, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt ( you guys - do you know how HARD that is to achieve?!) , and a leader in the adult entertainment industry.

Yup, you read that right.
This isn’t your typical confidence chat—and that’s exactly what makes it so powerful.

We met Crystal during our Ayahuasca retreat (mid-vomitivo, no less 🤢), and were instantly drawn to her. Not just because she was cheering us on while we purged our souls—but because she radiates the kind of energy we’re all craving: self-worth that’s earned. Confidence that’s built.

In this conversation, Crystal gets real about:
💥 Growing up in a home full of trauma
💥 Finding her voice through Jiu-Jitsu, healing work, and her years in the adult industry
💥 The truth about hypnotherapy (no, it’s not mind control 🙃) and how it can help rewire your beliefs
💥 What actually holds most people back from feeling confident—and why it’s not your fault
💥 How being radically vulnerable with strangers led to the deepest connection of her life

This one’s about power. Self-trust. And taking the damn pen back to rewrite your story.

🎧 Hit play and prepare to see confidence through a whole new lens.

We’re just gonna say it—Mother’s Day is weird 😅. And exhausting. And a little bit confusing. In this episode of Let’s Get the Neighbors Talking, we (Courtney & Lauren from Moon & Stone) talk about what no one puts on the greeting cards: the judgment, the pressure, the expectations, and the endless brunches we didn’t ask for 🥂.

If you’ve ever wanted to be left alone with a book 📖 and a cup of coffee ☕ instead of hosting 14 relatives and pretending to love your Yeti knockoff—you’re in the right place.

We get into:
✨ Why moms are constantly judging and being judged
👩‍👧‍👦 How parenting teens broke our previously chill vibe
🔮 What Lemurian Quartz has to do with trusting your kid’s path
🧁 Why Mother’s Day can feel weird
💎 The gift we actually want (hint: it sparkles and never dies)

Whether you’re in the newborn trenches or navigating teenage eye-rolls, come sit with us. It’s cozy here—and 100% judgment free 💕.
