Fully Grownish

We’re looking back at what didn’t age well, starting with Kate Plus 8. Collin Gosselin’s book is out, his story got sharper between interviews, and Kate says she can’t sue. We get into why, plus Ruby Franke, the troubled teen industry Paris Hilton survived, and how recently “send her away” passed for parenting. Plus, Daisy trashing a private island on RHONY, Martha Stewart hydrating a stranger’s k...

Forget the midlife crisis. We’re calling it a midlife awakening: the point where your estrogen drops and so does your patience for nonsense. We get real about quitting the job of family event planner, why your husband can send his own mother’s Mother’s Day card, walking away from low-effort dates, and the viral story of a boyfriend who called a tired request for makeup wipes “needy.” We also get i...

We're purging our closets and getting real about why it's so hard. Those dresses aren't just dresses, they're your single-girl era. We get into bodies that change shape while the scale stays put, Allison Bornstein's three-word style method, shopping your own closet for 30 days, and the bigger problem: where do you even buy good clothes now? Polyester at every price point, Shein...

We dive into the new season of Real Housewives of New York, debating the fake crying, apartment fails (Martha Stewart would NOT approve of that teapot), and concerning appearances. We get real about sleep struggles in midlife, how lack of rest can leave us braindead, and the extreme measures needed to get some shut-eye. Plus, the power of seeing life through rose-colored glasses, even when things...

We get real about the dark side of empty nest: midlife divorces and prenup power plays. Inspired by a certain pop star's recent split, we're diving into why 50 is the new risk zone. Plus, hailing the arrival of sweater weather, wishing away Doug Ford, and a dramatic tale of a disobedient smoke detector.

Skinny came back and nobody voted for it. We get into Ariana Grande looking tiny on the Wicked tour, the early 2000s pop stars we watched get starved down to nothing, and the fact that Britney once got called obese for having thighs. Then we get real about GLP-1s: the people who actually need them, the people "baby dosing" their way to a trophy wife body, and the side effects nobody ment...

We get real about perimenopause: the symptoms nobody warned us about, and the ones doctors love to wave off. Smelling smoke that isn't there. Everything tasting like gasoline, and why the wellness industry keeps insisting creatine and a carnivore diet will fix your hormones. Spoiler: there's no estrogen at the gym. Men get Viagra. We get "have you tried lifting heavy weights." We...

Kitten fishing is catfishing's lazy cousin. He's not pretending to be a different person, he's just shaving a decade off his age and adding four inches to his height. We also get real about the reset question: whether New Year's resolutions actually do anything, or whether your birthday is the only new year that counts. Plus, Pierre Poilievre the perfume guy. Adam Sandler officiati...

We get into the black coffee theory, the mindset trend that says if you only ever name what you don't want, that's exactly what you'll keep getting handed. We run it through dating, careers, and the friendships that go flat the second you stop sweetening them. Plus the part nobody says out loud: a lot of us were raised on wait your turn and don't be too much, and then wonder why, s...

We're getting into reality TV and the shame that somehow comes with loving it. Why do smart women still hide the remote when someone walks in? We get real about the shift from messy, anything-goes early Big Brother to today's Housewives, why nostalgia keeps dragging us back, and the darker turn when the reality kids grow up and start writing the tell-all. Plus: Mushroom elixir mocktails, D...

We get into the thing nobody wants to say out loud: handing the internet constant access to your life might be quietly wrecking you. We put the male loneliness episode head to head with the Blue Zones documentary. One generation performing happiness, one generation actually living longer and posting never. Doomscrolling, muting the highlight reels, locking your phone in the hotel safe, the small r...

We get real about why we give everyone else great advice — on relationships, money, and knowing your worth — but completely fall apart when it's our own lives on the line. Plus — the childhood trends that need to stay buried (RIP stirrup leggings), the books we can't put down, and why real face-to-face conversation is the ultimate comeback we're rooting for. 0:00 What We're Reading: Books We Can't...

Are men actually okay? We're diving into the male loneliness epidemic — why it's happening, who's making it worse. From the rise of the Manosphere and toxic influencers like those featured in Netflix's Inside the Manosphere, to women raising their standards and ditching the apps, we're getting into ALL of it. Plus — hotel solo nights, camping horror stories, and streaming apps…...

What does "having it all" actually look like — and is there still room for fun? In this episode, Heather, Jocelyn, and Angie get real about the identity shifts that come with every career (and relationship) stage. Every week we're bringing you the unfiltered conversations women our age are actually having: hot takes on trends and headlines, the slow and sometimes messy work of unlear...

Welcome to the podcast that started in a group chat. We're Heather, Angela, and Jocelyn — and before we get into the oversharing, we figured you should probably know who you're dealing with. In our first episode we're introducing ourselves, telling you how we met, and getting into one of our favourite topics right out of the gate: reinventing yourself. Because between switching careers...
