“So THIS Happened…” is the podcast version of catching up with your most unfiltered friend over wine. Each week, Jen and Rachel dive into personal mishaps, past memories, local happenings, weird habits, and whatever else pops up — including the occasional celebrity headline we just have to talk about. It’s casual, it’s chaotic, and it’s all real.

  • Episode 57 : Do It Scared
    2026/08/27
    Send us Fan MailThis week's Sip Squad Session brings So THIS Happened — Jen Cole and Rachel Chappelle's Wichita podcast for real talk, local culture, and the occasional Taylor Swift spiral — live to Tor Brewing for a night with Sophii Jones, founder of Jupiter House Marketing right here in Wichita, Kansas. It's a story about a promise made at 24, a decade of learning marketing the hard way, and what it actually takes to do the scary thing anyway.🍻 Live at Tor BrewingThe Sip Squad Session crowd packed into Tor Brewing for this one, and it did not disappoint. Merch was up for grabs all night — $10 badges reading "pairs well with champagne and caviar bumps" made by Happy Camper Hat Company (find them upstairs in the Ballroom Collective at The Workroom, thank you Kari!), plus gorgeous $15 silk scrunchies designed by Stella Hankins of Bella Bonita Designs. Huge thanks to Tor Brewing for hosting us, and to Tony Vu — aka DJ Panda — for running the show's audio and hype duties live.🎲 This or That: Fandom Meets Real LifeSophii jumped right into This or That with the crowd, and a few highlights:Capsule wardrobe over cosplay closet — though she'll always love the chaos of a closet full of costumesDream collab: a toss-up between Taylor Swift and Pokémon (with a serious soft spot for the Kansas City Chiefs' marketing team too)Say yes to the chaos, then organize it before you execute — or as the Sip Squad already knows it: messy is our polish🪐 Do It Scared: Sophii Jones' Ten-Year PromiseAt 24, Sophii made herself a promise: pursue professional cosplay first, then build a marketing business by 35. Wichita's cosplay and content creation scene barely existed in 2014, so she taught herself marketing from scratch — audience building, community, brand voice — and fell in love with the craft along the way.That self-taught foundation carried her into nearly five years as Marketing Director for Misty Mountain Gaming, where her role kept expanding into product development, international manufacturing, and full business growth — including bringing the brand home to Wichita and collaborating with local creators.Then, in the same stretch of time, her marriage ended and she left Misty Mountain unexpectedly. Sophii calls herself "a blind leaper," and she leaned into that identity here too — describing the decade-old promise to herself as something that had simply been waiting to be unburied in the rubble. After years of traveling two to four weekends a month, landing back in Wichita gave her something travel never could: stillness, family, and the clarity to finally honor that promise.That promise became Jupiter House Marketing — named for the planet of expansion, wisdom, and financial abundance. Sophii built the name and the business around that symbolism on purpose: a daily reminder that marketing, done well, is about psychology, culture, and genuine human connection, not just tactics.📣 What's Next for the Sip SquadA ticketed live collab event for the local production of Richard O'Brien's Rocky Horror Show is coming the last weekend of October at Doc's Hangar, presented with Vu Events and Douglas Production Group — more details dropping soonThe next Sip Squad Session lands at GROW on September 21 at 6:30 PM, featuring Katy Munden Hays of AlegriaUpcoming guests on the show: Niquela of Planted Tea Shop and Kelly of Bridely Boutique🥂 Before You GoMerch is live — Uncorked and Slightly Unhinged, and Pairs Well with Champagne & Caviar Bumps (10% of profits go to Ballet Wichita)Follow Sophii and Jupiter House Marketing on Facebook and Instagram, and find her personally at @sophiijayyyFollow along and never miss an episode — Spotify, YouTube, wherever you listenA huge thank you to our Season 2 partners for making nights like this one possible: Vu Events (it had to be Vu!), Colour Thairapy, and Backspace Media — Jen's own marketing company, putting her money where her mouth is this season.So THIS Happened is a lifestyle and personal growth podcast hosted by Jen Cole and Rachel Chappelle, based in Wichita, Kansas.

    This week, life happened — Rachel was in a car accident and is resting up (she's okay, just needs some downtime), so Jen hopped on solo for a quick check-in before rewinding the clock to one of our earliest episodes for a nostalgic replay: Episode 7, from exactly a year ago.

    THE SOLO CHECK-IN
    - Rachel is resting up after a car accident last week — she's okay, just needs the recovery time. Sending her all the love, Sip Squad.
    - Backspace Media officially launched last Friday — Jen's marketing company is live!
    - Jen attended her first Ballet Wichita board meeting and got the scoop on the upcoming Sparkling Social, September 3rd at Goldfinch.
    - Nick officially moved into Kansas State this week — cue the tears.
    - Join us for our next Sip Squad Session at Tor Brewing, upstairs in the loft, featuring Sophie Jones of Jupiter House Marketing and PR — doors around 6:00, kickoff at 6:30. Free to attend, with our hype man Tony Vu (DJ Panda) on the ones and twos.

    THE THROWBACK: EPISODE 7
    A favorite from the vault! This week's rerun brings back one of our most-loved episodes — full of chaos, heart, and a story you have to hear to believe.
    - The infamous toe story — a driveway, a chunk of toe, and a neighbor who really did not sign up for that.
    - Jen's brush with an influencer scam — a brand collab that seemed way too good to be true (because it was).
    - This or That: pickles vs. olives, extra ice vs. no ice, over vs. under, voice memo vs. long text, air dry vs. Dyson, candle vs. diffuser, binge vs. weekly, and morning person vs. "don't talk to me till 10."

    BEFORE YOU GO
    - Sip Squad Session — Sunday at Tor Brewing with Sophie Jones of Jupiter House Marketing and PR
    - Merch is live — Uncorked & Slightly Unhinged, plus Bella Bonita scrunchies and Happy Camper patches (Pairs Well with Champagne & Caviar Bumps line, 10% of profits to Ballet Wichita)

  • Episode 55 : Don't Give a Chic
    2026/08/13
    Send us Fan MailIt's the dead center of August in Wichita, and So THIS Happened hosts Jen Cole and Rachel Chappelle are living squarely in "the in-between" — still sweating through summer, already reaching for pumpkin spice. Grab the last pour of a good rosé and settle in, because this one's got Trend Decoder history, a big event announcement, and a Taylor Swift deep-dive that gets surprisingly tender.TREND DECODER: A PERSONAL BESTRachel went in blind, as always, and walked away with a perfect score — 4 out of 4, her best Trend Decoder performance yet (up from 3.5 out of 4 last time).- "Things More Damaging Than..." — Rachel nailed the format on the first guess, riffing on things more damaging than a glass of wine before landing squarely on the real trend- "Extra Services I Offer That No One Ever Books..." — another direct hit, complete with a pitch for a So THIS Happened version (therapist, hydrator, on-call Band-Aid dispenser)- Bonus round: "Kinda Chic" — didn't count toward the score, but gave us the line of the night and, fittingly, this episode's titleONE LAST POUR: VINZANT WINES' EVIE & ROSEThe girls poured the final bottle of the rosé VinZant Wines sent home with Jen from Kansas City — Evie & Rose, a classically fermented rosé with wild strawberry and citrus notes. Verdict: smooth, well-balanced, and worth seeking out. You can find VinZant pours locally at Bubbles Champagne Bar.THE IN-BETWEENThis week's episode theme, and it showed up everywhere: still summer by the calendar, already fall in spirit. The proof was in the details — a Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini at this week's Coffee Break session at GROW, back-to-school for Nathan (Jen's youngest, starting his senior year) the same week Jen's oldest, Nick, heads off to Kansas State. Two very different kinds of goodbye, landing in the same seven days.Also very "in-between": Jen's marketing company, Backspace Media, is relaunching — new site landing at backspacewichita.com this week, with personal branding, podcast coaching, and event content creation services now open for booking.SOMETHING'S BREWING: A RICHARD O'BRIEN'S ROCKY HORROR SHOW NIGHTSo THIS Happened is teaming up with Vu Events, Douglas Production Group, and the Rocky Horror Show team for a ticketed, dress-up event at Doc's Hangar at the end of October. Expect a live podcast recording, special guests, and full themed energy — ticket price and date are still being finalized, so watch the socials for the Facebook event drop.HITS DIFFERENT: "CRUEL SUMMER" — TAYLOR SWIFTThis week's pick, from Taylor Swift's Lover album, chosen for obvious August-shaped reasons.- Rachel's read: a song about fleeting summer relationships and the nostalgia that lingers — loving something fully while already knowing it won't last- Jen connected it to her own "church camp boyfriend" summers, and the bittersweet summer she started dating her daughter Macy's dad right before leaving for college- The two agreed the song isn't just about romance — seasonal friendships and "ladies room best friend" moments carry the same fleeting, worth-it feeling- Bonus tangent: Jen's infamous Eastborough speeding ticket (22 in a 20, on the way to buy fox ears for a Halloween costume) — filed permanently under fall nostalgiaBEFORE YOU GO- Merch is live — Pairs Well with Champagne and Caviar Bumps, plus scrunchies from Bella Bonita Designs and patches from Happy Camper Hat Company- Next Sip Squad Session: Sunday, August 23rd, 6:30 PM at Tor Brewing, featuring Sophii Jones of Jupiter House Marketing & PR- Come hungry — Tor's Cajun fries and chicken sandwich came up more than once- Backspace Media is officially relaunching — follow along at backspacewichita.comThank you to our Season 2 partners: Vu Events, Colour Thairapy, and Backspace Media — Jen's own marketing company. (Yes, Backspace Media is Jen's business — consider this our disclosure!)So THIS Happened is Wichita's podcast for real talk, local culture, and the occasional Taylor Swift spiral.
