What do hair-washing meltdowns, sarcastic husbands, raising teenagers in the TikTok era, and Taylor Swift’s NFL takeover all have in common? Us. This week we’re unfiltered about marriage, parenting struggles, grief, growing older, and why strong women still do whatever the f* they want. It’s messy, it’s funny, and it’s a little too real.

This week, we go from laughing about Costco puzzles, camping trips, and the chaos of traveling with dogs, to navigating the real emotions that come when our parents find love again after loss. We unpack the mix of happiness, hesitation, and honesty that comes with supporting someone else’s joy, even when it stirs up complicated feelings. As always, expect plenty of laughs, some Golden Girls-level wisdom, and the reminder that doing our best doesn’t always look perfect.

From childhood tension to adult boundaries, this week Ashley opens up about her decades-long saga with her stepmom—a story that’s equal parts petty, painful, and oddly liberating. She shares the backstory of growing up under constant tension, the manipulative moments that still stand out, and the shocking comment that crossed the ultimate line. We unpack the history, the dynamics, and the emotional work it takes to break free—proving that healing and humor can absolutely exist in the same breath.

Season 2 is here, and your favorite chaotic duo is back! After a summer break full of pool days, unexpected drama, and questionable lawn care letters, the girls are ready to spill everything. From discovering their biggest fan and hater in one surprising package, to HOA showdowns, lawn conspiracies, and a deep dive into what they’ve been up to during the break—this episode is a perfect mix of laughs, life updates, and unapologetic honesty.

Whether it’s kids sports coming to an end, spontaneous trips, or new obsessions (dinosaurs and Michelin-star dining, anyone?), Season 2 kicks off with the real, raw, and ridiculous moments that make She Did Her Best the podcast you can’t stop listening to.

We spent a full weekend deep in the world of all-star cheer—thousands of screaming cheerleaders, parents running on caffeine (and maybe vodka?), and an energy level that’s pure madness. Come along for our brutally honest take on the highs, lows, and unhinged moments.

Work events with unlimited booze? Check. Concerts that left us limping? Check. Husbands who were genuinely concerned we ghosted each other? Also check. After three weeks apart, Kayla and Ashley reunite to swap wild travel stories, questionable decisions, and the painful realization that we are absolutely too old for this.

It’s a holiday extravaganza filled with laughter, chaos, and some truly memorable moments. We dive into the wild dynamics of hosting Christmas with four dogs (including an 80-pound Mastiff and a mischievous 8-month-old puppy), discuss the bizarre discovery of cat poop smells, and debate the unexpected comeback of JNCO jeans. Along the way, we reflect on the joys of gift-giving, share some heartfelt holiday highlights, and explore New Year’s resolutions with a fun twist on traditional vision boards. Whether you’re a dog lover, a holiday enthusiast, or just here for the laughs, this episode has something for everyone!

This week, Ashley finally gets her wish to talk about aliens, conspiracy theories, and time travel—but not without Kayla’s hilarious skepticism and zero f***s attitude. It's a clash of cosmic curiosity and grounded realism, topped with a healthy dose of banter and laughs. Who’s winning this debate? Tune in to find out!
