Talk Shit and Laugh

We're exposing our toxic traits — the funny, slightly unhinged habits we know we should fix… but probably won't. From free shipping to being way too messy, we're breaking down the red flags we bring to the table in this candid, hilarious episode. It's funny. It's honest. It's the good kind of chaos. And yes, we're probably going to forget we recorded this until someone quotes us in the DMs. Tell u...

Happy New Year, friends! We're kicking off 2026 with a little truth and a lot of laughter: our morning routines are chaotic good energy. In this episode, Michele and Sarah look at how they actually start their mornings this time of year—what's working, what's wishful thinking, and which routines we'll probably keep… at least for now. Inside we're chatting about: Why we'd need a full 12-hour mornin...

New year, new… ugh, no. In this episode, Sarah and Michele get honest about why we're skipping the resolutions this year—and what we're doing instead to create real change (without the pressure, guilt, or glitter-covered goals list).

Which One of Us Is the FBI Profiler? Wait for it… In this week's episode, we leave this timeline on read and hop on over to the multiverse—where infinite versions of us are living totally different (and sometimes wildly better?) lives. We ask the important questions: Would Michele be a no-nonsense FBI profiler... or just someone who knows too much ? Would Sarah have become a stand-up comic touring...

This week, we're talking about the TV shows that stole our hearts, broke our brains, and how much we loathe streaming bills.

Spoiler alert: People are usually wrong. This week, we're unpacking the assumptions people make about us—and how often they're way off. Is Michele a total extrovert… or just really good at pretending she doesn't want to go home early? Does Sarah need the spotlight 24/7… or does she actually just love a solo nap and not talking to anyone ever? Have we always been confident… or is it just that we st...

We talk about: It's time for permission to rest, reflect, and not "be productive" Why hob...

We talk about: The r...

This is an episode about our mini-addictions - mostly food. But not in a "meal prep and macros" kind of way. No, this is about the other food moments… The ones where you're alone, no one's watching, and you suddenly think, "What do I actually WANT?"   In this episode, Sarah and Michele reveal: The mini food "addictions" we're not trying to fix (but definitely talk to ourselves about) Why being alo...

Let's be honest: we're not built for middle management.
