Hi, beautiful people! This is our podcast: If you care to listen. If you don't care to listen... no problem. But if you do, we're really happy that you're here. We are Hailey and Sophia, two best friends living in Manhattan— coincidentally right across the street from one another. This led us to want to catalog this unique and special time in our lives and along the way we decided that this was something we wanted to share with you. We talk about the big stuff and the small stuff, the highs and the lows, the meta and the minutiae, topics specific to us, and topics we believe are universal. Thi...

Episodes

Ep18 - Social Media Pt. 1 (Getting Nostalgic) 24.10.2024

This week it's a two-for-one! Join us as we venture back to our early days of social media, from first iPhones to unearthing memories of PictoChat and Vine (iykyk), all while discussing the evolving challenges of maintaining a digital presence. Listen to how we cope with social media-driven additions and insecurities and how for us, mindful usage is rooted in self-compassion.

Ep17 - SATC Series Pt. 8 "Defining Moments" 10.10.2024

It’s officially autumn in New York and much like the season Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha are all undergoing changes. In this episode we explore exhibitionism, rekindling romances, setting bathroom boundaries, defining relationships without labels, and how subtlety can make all the difference.

Ep16 - Transitions with Meg Colton 02.10.2024

In this episode we welcome our first-ever guest, Megan Colton, who recently joined the Broadway National Tour of 'Hadestown' as Eurydice. We dive into how she navigates major life transitions, exploring everything from overcoming past traumas to the pressure of people pleasing and the magic of manifestation.

Ep15 - Guilty Pleasures 18.09.2024

What makes a guilty pleasure... guilty? Join us as we unpack our GPs (e.g., excessively long showers, strawberry milkshakes, & falling asleep on the couch) and why we consider them to be less guilty and more pleasure.

Ep14 - SATC Series Pt. 7 "Cock a Doodle Do!" 13.09.2024

[Sex and the City S3E18] In a city where we all live in layers, the privacy of others (or lack thereof) is impossible to ignore. From overflowing bathtubs to getting down and dirty with Rihanna, this week we commiserate with the SATC characters about noisy neighbors and recall the bonds that make city life special. These bonds, whether they be friendships or relationships, come with expectations—e...

Ep13 - Perfectionism 03.09.2024

Today we're talking about... the complexities of perfectionism and its roots in both personal and external factors. Perfectionism is a double edged sword, and whether it helps or harms us all depends on how we wield it.

Ep12 - SATC Series Pt.6 "Easy Come, Easy Go" 14.08.2024

[Sex and the City S3E9] This week, we discuss Carrie's relationship with Aiden and her ongoing entanglement with Big. Is Big's insistence on drawing Carrie back into his life romantic or problematic? We'll also explore the dynamics of breakups, the unwelcome feeling of being in competition with an ex, and the daily struggle of head-versus-heart.

Ep11 - Do's and Don'ts 07.08.2024

Today we’re talking about... how to be your best, most considerate city-dweller. If you want to avoid becoming a public enemy at the park, learn how we navigate the Trader Joe’s chaos, or hear our take on ideal restaurant behavior from our perspective as servers, we’ve got you covered.

Ep10 - SATC Series Pt.5 "The Real Me" 31.07.2024

[Sex and the City S4E5] This week, through Carrie's fashion show plotline, we explore self-perception and share our own experiences with body dysmorphia. Stay tuned to hear what we think makes spicy photos sexy and who we've gotten as celebrity look-a-likes.

Ep9 - Homes 23.07.2024

Today we’re taking you back to one of our first ever recordings. From our serendipitous living situation in New York to nostalgic backyard adventures and high school crushes, in this episode we discover how memories of our hometowns have shaped what home and community mean to us.

Ep8 - SATC Series Pt.4 "Four Women and a Funeral" 19.07.2024

[Sex and the City S2E5] This week we’re keeping it short and sweet! Tune in as we transition from little black dresses and funerals to managing the desire for self-sufficiency amidst the inherent need for human connection.

Ep7 - Friendship Fundamentals 10.07.2024

Today we're talking about... the essence of friendship and how trust, communication, and boundaries sustain any relationship. We touch on jealousy and overlapping social circles and do our best to decode girl-code.

Ep6 - SATC Series Pt.3 "Games People Play" 18.06.2024

[Sex and the City S2E13] In our latest SATC installment, we chat about the sacredness of alone time, therapy and its (wrongly) perceived self-indulgence, and debate the morality of game-playing when it comes to love.

Ep5 - Being Interdisciplinary 05.06.2024

Today we're talking about... what being interdisciplinary even means. We’ve found it’s about striking balance, trusting your intuition and viewing your “plan B" not as a fallback but rather as another branch of your story. The pursuit of many passions is fulfilling but not without lack of sleep, financial limitations and ongoing bouts of imposter syndrome. 

Ep4 - SATC Series Pt.2 "Evolution" 30.05.2024

[Sex and the City S2E11] In the second installment of our SATC series, we touch on gynecological horror stories, souvenirs from past lovers, and how the stereotypical view of masculinity/femininity has evolved since the show's first episode in '98.

Ep3 - Personality Tests (Get to Know Us) 11.04.2024

Today we're talking about... decoding our Enneagrams, one of many types of personality tests. Get to know us as we recall grade-school trauma, chat about our own friendship compatibility, and reflect on the nuances of authenticity in the age of social media.

Ep2 - SATC Series Pt.1 "The Monogamists" 10.04.2024

[Sex and the City S1E7] This midnight episode kicks off our 'Sex and the City' series where we dissect the iconic show's relevance to modern relationships and life in New York City. We explore monogamy, exclusivity talks, and the importance of clear communication... including between the sheets ;)

Ep1 - Commuting 10.04.2024

In our very first episode, we're talking about everything from businessmen in suits riding scooters to the chaos of just getting out the door each day. We touch on punctuality, music, modes of transportation, and finding presence amidst all the urban noise. Let's Commute Together community playlist: https://spotify.link/7Uds9B6VGIb
