As we inch closer to the end of our 20s, we’re talking all about what we’re leaving out. From habits that no longer serve us to mindsets we’re outgrowing, this episode is part confessional, part cleanse. We’re reflecting on the things we’re ready to shed — and what we’re making space for instead.

In this episode, we’re revisiting our old summer bucket list, reflecting on Saturn return energy, and leaning into the weird, wonderful phase of being in between.

It happened—Mel is engaged! 💍 In this special episode, we spill all the dreamy details from Mel’s magical Europe trip and the moment she said yes.

We also get into what’s next, how it feels stepping into this new chapter, and the chaos, joy, and love surrounding the whole experience.

Why is making friends as an adult so awkward?! In this episode, we talk about the weird world of meeting new people — from social apps to real-life run-ins.

Let’s get into the vulnerability, the cringe, and the surprising joy of finding your people.

We’re diving into the internet’s obsession with the trad wife aesthetic — is it about embracing femininity or just repackaged patriarchy?

Let’s unpack what makes posting on social media so cringe. Are we being perceived as someone who isn’t present or wants attention? What’s the underlying perception but also, why do we care? Oh right, we care a lot.

We're are approaching 28 and feeling… reflective.

We used to roll our eyes at the girlies posting their European summer content… and now, maybe we are them.
