Are We Close Enough for This?

Do you really want to know where Steph was April 29th?... She was at the courthouse getting a divorce! And now, one year later, she’s finally ready to open up and talk about one of the most defining seasons of her life. SURPRISE BESTIES! We’re back with our second bonus episode! In this episode, Steph shares her personal experience with divorce - from what led up to it and how the decision was mad...

This week’s episode is brought to you by a real-time, active tornado warning. And honestly… that kind of feels on brand for this because we’re talking all things relationships! We’re kicking things off with some bestie catch-up and reality TV talk. We get into the latest Bravo-verse drama and talk about these very common, real life dating scenarios. We break down how the situations were actually h...

Our favorite astrologer, Marci of Starlight Astrology, is back with us this week and there's a LOT going on astrologically right now so we're breaking it all down for you! We start things off by having Marci answer some listener questions. We cover the topics of free will in astrology, religion and astrology, the planetary returns and the houses. Then we get into Aries season and the current astro...

Somehow… no matter where we start, it always comes back to this… In this episode, we’re doing what we do best - catching up with some unfiltered bestie girl chat that takes all the turns. From the latest in reality TV (because, hello…duh) to sharing funny, slightly chaotic recent happenings in our lives, this episode is equal parts relatable and unhinged. We also take a minute to get a little raw...

We’re back after a week off and we’re catching up on evvvveeerrrryyyyything. From the return of baseball season (let the Cardinals and Royals I-70 Showdown begin!) to our personal shopping habits and experiences, back to a full on reality tv deep dive, it’s a chaotic, laugh-filled catch-up you won’t want to miss. We get into the real details of our shopping habits and preferences - In-person or on...

Our favorite astrologer, Marci of Starlight Astrology, is back with us this week to welcome in Aries season! (get your calendars ready… she drops some important, upcoming dates you’ll want to watch and be excited for!) But before that, things get deep as we talk about our past lives…. Marci introduces us to past lives and what exactly that means and looks like from an astrological perspective. We...

Your besties are back and we’re kicking off this episode the only way we know how… with a little bestie catch-up session. As usual, we came with absolutely no game plan but had no problem at all finding things to talk about and stories to share… Steph has recently stepped into her sports girl era, but in case you didn’t know - she’s always fully believed that she herself is a natural born athlete....

Surprise! This is our first bonus episode and we're doing things a little different and going deep. Instead of our usual format, Abby shares the story behind ICMM — I Can Manage Myself and a realization that changed how she looks at life. So often we focus on one big area we’re trying to fix or achieve - a job, a relationship, starting a family, the thing we believe will finally make everything cl...

You know how sometimes you just need a good, light hearted chat with your bestie? The kind where you can just catch up, share stories, say some crazy things, go off on tangents of the most random of topics… and then go back to the thing you were talking about 13 minutes ago?  The ones where you laugh endlessly and leave feeling a little more upbeat than when the conversation started? That’s exactl...

You asked… we overshared! Welcome to our first Q+A style episode where our besties (yes, you) put us in the hot seat. And we spill EVERYTHING! We decided we were “Close Enough” to start this podcast. Now we’re inviting you to feel close enough to ask the real questions - the messy, the deep, the fun and even the slightly unhinged. In this episode, we reminisce on our college chaos… what it was lik...

Happy one month besties!! We're back for episode 7 and we're kicking things off with a little celebration and a heart to heart as we talk about some life realizations we've been having lately. We lighten things up a little bit with a couple reality show recaps before our favorite astrologer, Marci, enters the chat. She comes bearing a LOT of astrology updates… we talk about that b**** Saturn (fina...

Valentine’s Day is coming.. and so is Friday the 13th. (buh-bye Saturn!!) We get into the spirit by talking about past dates, love languages, superstitions and we even play a fun game Abby is calling “romantic or the beginning of a horror film?” Get your headphones on and join in the fun! JOIN THE CHAT! Send us an email at arewecloseenoughpod@gmail.com or slide into our DMs on Instagram @areweclos...

We're back for more girl chat in episode 5 and let's just say, things escalate quickly... What starts as two besties simply chatting about adulting - you know... grocery shopping, meal prepping, hobbies (or lack thereof), routines, etc. quickly takes a turn into NSFW territory. From things entering and leaving your body to memories of becoming a woman, hormone shifts and smells, we really do just...

It's episode 4 and we've decided.... we're all close enough to start breaking some boundaries! We're talking about viral trends, health + wellness routines and trying new things. From sports and reality tv recaps to cellulite, pooping, and coffee enemas, we cover a WIDE variety of topics in this chat. (Oh yeah.... and don't forget the murder tips) Get ready to overshare, laugh and talk s***! ...li...

Just in time for episode 3... Aquarius season is here and much to her surprise, so is Steph's Saturn return! We have our friend Marci of Starlight Astrology here to hang out with us and we're chatting not only about Saturn Returns, but also all the things about The Big 3. If you've ever been curious to learn more about your sun, moon and rising signs - or just get a general intro to astrology, thi...

We're back with episode two and things are about to get interesting... we're recapping 2025 - a year one of us has given the song of the year label to "Monster Mash" and the other one has labeled as "Vigilante Shit". We girl chat about some of our favorite products we discovered and are bringing with us into the new year, memories - both good and bad from the year, set intentions for 2026, and mak...

In our first episode, we get into how two people who technically weren’t supposed to become best friends… did anyway! We talk about how it started, how it escalated, and how it somehow led to conversations about Taylor Swift, dating, marriage, hormones, hemorrhoids, football, astrology, weddings, karaoke, and the parts of life no one really warned us, or talks about. Consider this your introductio...
