This week on "Smiling Faces: The Podcast", Victoria and Jess tackle the really important questions—like why dress codes still exist, who thought dating red flags were cute.

They overshare (you're welcome) about relationship mishaps, setting boundaries that people immediately ignore, and the glamorous world of location scouting—because nothing screams “creative process” like hunting for the perfect alleyway with decent lighting.

Tune in for hot takes, hard truths, and the kind of wisdom that only comes from learning things the absolutely hardest way possible.

This week on "Smiling Faces: The Podcast", Victoria and Jess do what they do best—talk about everything, everywhere, all at once (but with better snacks). From the highs and woes of writing and producing a web series without completely losing their minds, to decoding the fine art of giving feedback without sounding like a judgmental raccoon, they cover it all.

They also take a detour through the wild world of dating—yes, there are awkward stories, and yes, we’re still cringing—with pit stops at Communication Station and Self-Improvement Island. Whether you're a creative soul, a relationship overthinker, or just here for the LOLs, this episode is packed with laughs, lessons, and just enough chaos to make you feel right at home.

This week on "Smiling Faces: The Podcast", Victoria and Jess cover everything from robot vacuums to relationship red flags—because apparently, both can suck the life out of you if you’re not careful. They dish on their production journey, the chaos of content distribution, and why knowing your audience is basically the creative version of dating: be specific or end up talking to no one.

The convo dives into the struggle of saying “no” in a world that wants you to say “yes” to everything, the constant juggle of work, love, and mentorship, and how setting boundaries might actually be the ultimate form of self-care. Expect plenty of laughs, real talk, and a reminder that even AI can’t help you balance your love life and your to-do list.

This week on Smiling Faces, Victoria and Jess are joined by comedy powerhouse Lynn Harris, CEO of Gold Comedy—because who better to talk healing, heartbreak, and hilarious content than a woman who's basically building the Marvel Universe for funny people?

They kick things off with the weather (classic small talk), then dive into everything from pets and family history to the serious business of getting women and non-binary folks the spotlight—and the punchlines—they deserve. Lynn spills the tea on her web series Late Bloomers, upcoming incubator programs, and why comedy should come with a community and a cape (looking at you, Breakup Girl).

Expect real talk on relationships, cheating chaos, creative control, and the healing powers of laughter. It’s part TED Talk, part group therapy, part stand-up set—with just enough emotional whiplash to keep things interesting.

This week on "Smiling Faces: The Podcast", Victoria and Jess are back with celebrity run-ins, chaotic dating stories, and enough web series updates to make you feel like you’re in pre-production too. They dive into the glamorous (read: slightly unhinged) process of building a pitch deck—because nothing says "Hollywood" like trying to explain your characters with vibes and Canva slides.

From awkward first dates to unpacking the emotional gymnastics of modern romance. There’s talk of aging, goals derailed by love, and why dating now feels like applying for a job you’re not sure you want. It’s a wild mix of storytelling, oversharing, and surprisingly wholesome reminders that kindness still matters—even in the entertainment industry and on dating apps.

Come for the banter, stay for the existential crises in heels.

This week on Smiling Faces: The Podcast, Victoria and Jess dish on their weekends, creative chaos, and the sacred art of the table read—because nothing says “collaboration” like hearing your dialogue out loud and realizing your protagonist is just you with better boundaries.

They unpack the highs and lows of storytelling and relationships, from the thrill of new connections in questionable locations (Whole Foods, anyone?). Along the way, they tackle breakups, rebounds, and why finding joy in the little things—like a good line of dialogue or an unexpected flirtation—is the real win.

It’s part writers’ workshop, part therapy session, all wrapped in wit, wisdom, and just the right amount of oversharing.

This week on Smiling Faces: The Podcast, Victoria, Jess, and Producer Mike tackle the real hot topics: surviving summer heat in questionable outfits, crafting the perfect pitch deck, and why having a brand kit is basically the new self-care.

They dish on the struggle to get people to read scripts (even the juicy ones), debate water snobbery (yes, someone will judge your choice of bottled water), and unpack the chaos of dating apps — including a story about a man who called himself a “full-blown eunuch” (we wish we were joking).

The episode peaks with a trip to the ‘Hall of Shame,’ featuring betrayal, heartbreak, and a romantic getaway gone very wrong. It all wraps up with laughs, lessons, and a reminder that dating is just improv with worse lighting.

This week on "Smiling Faces: The Podcast", Jess, Victoria, and Producer Mike bravely tackle the wild world of friendships, finances, and feelings — all without crying into a spreadsheet (mostly). They dish out hot takes on budgeting when your job description includes “vibes” and “creative energy,” plus the high-stakes drama of tracking expenses when you'd rather be tracking down your missing AirPods.

But wait — there’s more! Jess and Victoria dive headfirst into the chaos of modern dating, from bumping into exes on reality shows (yes, seriously) to swiping through dating apps like they’re playing emotional roulette. They serve up hilarious tales of romance gone wrong, accidental TV fame, and the eternal struggle to remember your worth — even when your love life feels like a rejected Bachelor subplot.

Tune in for laughs, life lessons, and just enough emotional honesty to make your therapist proud.
