  • Is the Morning Show Still Empowering Women?
    2025/12/12
    Besties Stacy and Daynah dig into whether season 4 of The Morning Show still delivers on its original promise of women-centered power or simply mirrors the same messy systems it once set out to critique. They break down ambition, accountability, and the ways women turn on each other, calling out what felt uncomfortably real, what went under-examined, and why certain storylines landed harder than others. Along the way, they share their own experiences with getting fired for setting boundaries and navigating midlife reckoning energy, before circling back to Corey discourse, Stella’s reckoning, Alex’s choices, and why “girlboss” narratives tend to collapse when real power enters the room. Together, they ask the real question: is this empowerment or just realism dressed up as progress? 0:00 | Holiday chaos & faking it 3:30 | Midlife reckoning energy 7:45 | Setting boundaries & getting fired 14:10 | Work, rejection & feeling disposable 19:30 | The Morning Show: too real or not critical enough? 26:00 | Women in power & girlboss collapse 33:40 | Corey discourse & mommy issues 41:20 | Stella’s reckoning & accountability 48:10 | Alex, ambition & questionable choices 54:30 | So… is this empowerment?

  • We're Not Done Talking about Love is Blind Denver
    2025/11/29
    We thought we were done, but Denver said “actually, no.” We go deeper into the Love Is Blind reunion: PTSD vs. ASD discourse, Edmond’s survival patterns, performative apologies, and why Jordan remains the only man we trust. We talk trauma, nervous systems, manipulation as a coping strategy (not a villain origin story), and what reality TV accidentally teaches us about emotional maturity.

  • Do I Have to Hate David Harbour Now?
    2025/11/28
    Stacy and Daynah dive deep into Lily Allen’s surprise divorce album, the internet-meltdown question of “Do I Have to Hate David Harbour Now?” and why pop culture feels so personal when the celebrity in question is someone we’ve all invited into our living rooms via Stranger Things. They discuss the album’s storytelling, the public fascination with Harbour’s alleged behavior, and the broader cultural work of women telling the truth about betrayal. And because they contain multitudes, you'll also find Beyoncé references, dental anxiety, and all the good-bad TV they're watching. 0:00 | Popcorn upgrades, dental chaos & anxiety 5:00 | Buccaneers, anachronisms & period-piece comfort 10:00 | Lily Allen’s album, David Harbour & the pop-culture spiral 15:00 | Betrayal, storytelling & why this record hits differently 20:00 | Music style, comparisons & where it lands culturally 25:00 | Red flags, negging & the Harbour discourse 30:00 | Gaslighting, boundaries & self-centering 35:00 | Open marriage rules, cheating & accountability 38:00 | Healing arcs, final track reflections 41:00 | What we’re watching next Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠missionalchemists.com⁠⁠ Thanks to our sponsor: ⁠CozyEarth.com⁠ | Use code WHOLELIFE to get up to 40% off Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Going Deeper: Emotional Labor & Why We’re So Tired w/ Vanessa Bennett
    2025/11/26
    Stacy sits down with licensed depth therapist and author of the new book, The Motherhood Myth, Vanessa Bennett, to unpack why so many women feel overwhelmed, overextended, and exhausted by unseen emotional labor. Through the lens of depth psychology, they explore the “have it all” trap, the inner patriarchy, self-abandonment, inherited power systems, and the cultural scripts still shaping modern motherhood and partnership. From modeling conflict for our kids to untangling the sister wound and reclaiming our needs, this conversation offers clarity, validation, and a grounded path toward finally stepping off the hamster wheel. 0:00 | Vanessa Bennett & depth psychology 2:00 | Feminism, equality & the “have it all” trap 6:30 | Emotional labor, burnout & the hamster wheel 10:00 | Modeling conflict & repair for our kids 12:45 | Inner patriarchy & self-abandonment 16:00 | Power systems we inherit without realizing 18:30 | Marriage roles & old scripts that linger 22:00 | Sex, needs & emotional outsourcing 27:00 | Sister wound, witch wound & lost community 32:00 | Emotional intelligence as “both/and” 35:00 | Practical steps to stop self-abandoning 39:00 | Where to find Vanessa’s work See complete show notes and more at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠!

  • Love is Blind or Blinded By Love?
    2025/11/21
    Stacy and Daynah break down the most unhinged season of Love Is Blind yet — the Denver edition, where red flags were abundant, boundaries were optional, and somehow everyone thought saying “I love you” was a full relationship strategy. They dig into performative masculinity, alcohol-fueled chaos, cultural clashes, influencer energy, and the couples who somehow fooled us all. And it wouldn't be two besties if they didn't dig beneath the reality-TV mess to explore how insecurity fuels narcissism, how childhood wounds show up in dating, why some partnerships feel more like unpaid therapy, and what it really takes to choose someone who brings out your best.

  • It's Hard to Be An Empath
    2025/11/21
    Stacy and Daynah immediately spiral into a conversation that only lifelong best friends (and overthinkers) could have and take listeners on a ride through health, humor, and high-level existential dread. Their chat about The Long Walk turns into a surprisingly hilarious exploration of why empaths maybe shouldn’t watch dystopian movies without emotional support snacks, how masculinity could use a software update, and why community matters even when humanity is… a lot. Sprinkle in black-hole anxiety, faith detours, wealth cringe, and The Woman in Cabin 10, and you’ve got a classic convo: big feelings, big laughs, and big “wait, how did we get here?” energy. 0:00 | Midlife health scares & empath energy 4:00 | College years, identity shifts & big feelings 10:00 | First reactions to The Long Walk 14:00 | Masculinity, humanity & unexpected tenderness 20:00 | Community, connection & being emotionally awake 26:00 | Activism overwhelm & the empath burnout cycle 32:00 | Existential spirals, faith shifts & too many thoughts 40:00 | Sensitive brains, black holes & cosmic panic 46:00 | Trauma media & protecting the empath nervous system 48:00 | The Woman in Cabin 10 & women without the tropes 53:00 | Wealth discomfort, power vibes & the haunting of yachts See complete show notes and more at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠!

    Two avid gift givers, Stacy and her behind-the-scenes right hand, Lauren, get real about Stacy’s Gift Well Guide and what gifting even means this year.
