The girls are back after a short break and catching up on all their side quests, from Vegas festivals and endless concerts to the mosquito apocalypse in Phoenix. Between laughs, Kayla and Ashley swap stories about travel chaos, DoorDash detoxing, and rediscovering the joy of cooking real food.

But things get deeper as Ashley opens up about navigating family tension, grief, and the emotional landmines of going through her late mother's belongings. It's honest, raw, and real: the perfect reminder that sometimes doing your best just means showing up, setting boundaries, and finding peace in the middle of change.

This week, Ashley and Kayla get real about the beautiful chaos of life, from dogs on medication and family drama to grief, therapy, and everything in between. Ashley's convinced her pug might be the reincarnation of a Chicago gangster named "Little Eddie," while Kayla opens up about missing her mom, navigating big emotions, and rediscovering balance.

There's laughter, vulnerability, and more than a few "oh my god, same" moments. It's another honest, hilarious reminder that we're all just doing our best.

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.
