Somehow we ended up talking about PTO mix-ups, first dance classes, DIY projects, skincare rabbit holes, and why one innocent scroll can convince you that you need a new routine, a new product, and a new personality.

This episode is a no-notes, real-life catch-up on being constantly influenced, mildly exhausted, and weirdly impressed by how much the internet seems to know about us. From half-baked DIY confidence to the subtle pressure of “fixing” yourself one TikTok at a time, we’re connecting dots, laughing at ourselves, and admitting we’re not nearly as immune as we’d like to be.

And for the first time, you can watch us have this conversation — this episode is also available in video format on YouTube.

If you’ve ever opened an app “for a second” and come out questioning your habits, your skin, or your sanity… yeah. Same.
