From fake IDs to partying in your 50s, Cece and Hannah are sharing their experiences with NYC nightlife. Cue the reminiscing about bars, clubs, and even weirder scenes! We reflect on our changing relationship to "fun" and ponder whether we will ever find a good Top 40s club ever again.

This week Cece and Hannah discuss what a lie really means and why telling less than the whole truth is so common in New York. Is it always important to be honest? Or is it more important to be kind?

Cece and Hannah are answering your questions this week! How do you stop comparing yourself to others? How to handle seeing a partner's ex-fiancée? How to deal with friend fades and breakups? Why does traveling with friends sound so fun in theory but so hard in practice? All these and more!

Cece and Hannah dish about all things dating--our craziest stories, popular dating myths, and our changing relationship with dating as an activity. We also answer listener questions about how to find the confidence to date, the best places to meet people in NYC, and whether a high-powered career and education makes dating more difficult. Next week, we'll be answering more listener questions--w...

This week, Cece and Hannah are unpacking the viral New York Magazine article, How Much Is That Lifestyle in the Window? Three kids in private school? You can never overpay for education! $250 for a brow artist? The best brow services are in the small shops! Second house on Long Island? She actually means the Hamptons! We round out the episode with estimates of our own dream lifestyles and discuss...

Location, location! This week, Cece and Hannah reflect on all of the apartments we've lived in--from first NYC apartments to worst living situations to how our apartment preferences have morphed over the years. Tangents include arguing about whether honeymoon funds are tacky, nightmare college roommates, and two bunnies named Beauty & Justice. Contact:  senseandsensitivitypod@gmail.com ins...

Welcome back to season 2!! The season's theme: New York City! This week, Cece and Hannah embark on a (roughly) year-by-year comparison of our lives and the paths that brought us to NYC. In 2012/2013, we both took the LSAT and applied to law school... and then our roads diverged drastically. By 2019, Hannah was married and Cece was billing 1950 hours a year. Unexpectedly, posting on TikTok in 2...

This week, Cece and Hannah go into Money Diaries territory. We talk about the money scripts we grew up with, financial situations we wish we'd thought a little harder about (some people might call them "mistakes"), and what our relationship to money is like now. Tangents include the story behind Hannah's less-than-excellent credit score and why Cece purchased luxury goods even wh...

This week, Cece and Hannah delve into their experiences as NYC transplants. What brought us here? Was it everything we expected it to be? And which "sides" of NYC did we find a second (or first) home in? Hannah talks about hanging with the rich kids, Cece shares about the not-quite-healthy "work hard, play hard" ethos of finance/consulting/law, and we end by planning Hannah&#39...

In 2020, Hannah was a trad wife, and Cece was a girlboss--at least on TikTok. We reflect on this (necessary? unnecessary?) flattening of identities into these archetypes for purposes of the ~aLgOriThM~ and debate the pros and cons of posting stay-at-home girlfriend/wife content and girlboss capitalist content. Along the way, we discuss Ballerina Farm, the allure of high-intensity high school extra...

This week, Cece and Hannah catch up about their respective trips to South Africa and New York City, share their experiences with reality show casting, and discuss the proposed TikTok ban in the U.S. What will they do without TikTok?? Cece finally gets to bring in her experience as a privacy and data security lawyer, and Hannah gives some self-styled unhinged takes that actually aren't so unhin...

Cece and Hannah are together discussing body image, eating disorders, and the pressure society puts on women to look a certain way.

This week, Cece and Hannah chat about the stories, dramas, and scandals taking over their feeds online. Why did HBO scrap the nearly-finished $54 million production of The Idol to rewrite and reshoot the series under the direction of Euphoria 's Sam Levinson? Is the supposed feud between Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber real, or the figment of the internet's very active imagination (and proclivity t...

Cece and Hannah are asking (mostly Cece) and answering (mostly Hannah) questions about New York Society! Why are socialites so interesting? Why do we need social climbers? They’re also discussing scandals and scammers in the scene--including a recently uncovered (alleged) Birkin Grifter who's been called a "modern male version" of Anna Delvey.
