The Anyway Pod

This week on Anyway... We show all the love for our enneagram 2s. We respect all the boundaries and we speak truth into any self hate. We appreciate all that they do and promise to do as much as we are can too. Then, we have to say stop, no really stop, when two 2s start a compliment carousel, going round and round with each other. So, if you too love people big, then you are in the right place an...

This week on Anyway... We show up on time and on task for our enneagram 1. We know that there is more than a way or one way to do any task (or say this very sentence). Then, we are our own pet peeve when we just can't get a task done correctly. So, if you too are in a competition with your neighbors for the best flower boxes even though they don't know about said competition, then you are in the r...

This week on Anyway... We keep the peace and talk to our enneagram 9. We don't want to plan the vacations but we want to go if you are. Then, we see all sides of things and don't care at all where we eat for dinner. So, are you an introvert that enjoys being around people and listening to their life, then you are in the right place and we're happy to have you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privac...

This week on Anyway... We switch things up and talk about a very specific thing. We introduce our new summer series, enneasummer.  Then, we interview an enneagram 8 and spoiler. It’s not Ali.  So, if you value deep conversation and direct communication, then you are in the right place and we're happy to have you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on Anyway... We ask the question, you’re a ten but…? We drop the weights and a few f bombs at the gym. We definitely know Stick season is about a soccer mom. Then, we make every person that we ever speak to become our personal assistant because we should not have to be remembering any dates.  So, if you too have nothing to be sorry for, then you are in the right place and...

This week on Anyway... We ask the question, what is dating your husband like? We grab our bag of rotisserie chicken and sit down to chat date night ideas. We trade our leave a cart phase for our take a cart phase. Then, our husbands age up and we hurt our own feelings about it. So, if you too think Ali should be a “favorite things” influencer, then you are in the right place and we're ha...

This week on Anyway... We ask the question, what have you invented that was already invented? We relate to the OG curling mom who just wanted her kids to play outside AND help around the house with a broom every once in a while. We were split on how appealing it is to have a banana themed birthday. Then, we ask someone to unplug us and plug us back in or give us a factory reset. So, if you to...

Re-releasing for our Valentine's/Galentine's/Palentine's Day Special This week on Anyway… We want to give all the words of affirmation and all the acts of service and all the quality time and all the gifts and all the hugs. But since we can’t do that, what we will give is a lesson on what that means!! You’ll leave speaking a whole new language and you’ll probably have a craving for tacos too! Want...

This week on Anyway, we ask the question, you got any parenting wins? We use this podcast as our personal parenting therapy session while we also ask how do we get parenting extra credit? We celebrate amazing murdery short stories and the community that is helping us raise our kiddos. Then, we get real about parents always having favorites. So, if you have ever said "have you seen Cooper?" Then yo...

This week on Anyway... We ask the question, what words would you redefine? We rewire our brains in order to be patriotic but require a four party system. We feel our faces melt and our teeth stick together with just one bite of a Gusher. Then we ask our bodies to give us grace even though we redefined old cause we aren't old. So, if you too hide that first sip of a fridge cigarette from everyone t...

This week on Anyway, we ask the question What were you most proud of in 2025? We resolve once again to not resolve anything this coming year. But we will shove our proud moments into a cake to celebrate all of our quitting from last year. Then, we lag wrestle that son of a Thomas Kinkade for showing us the dark side of puzzling. So, if you too want to say Bye 67 in the new year then you are in the...

This week on Anyway... We ask the question, how do you build community?  We put down roots and really keep them planted until we have to move them. We learn to say no to the wrong things because who has time for that. But then we realize that we keep the friends who make fun of us for hitting a literal and figurative wall. So, if your besties are the ones that you talk to the least on th...

This week on Anyway... We ask the question, what millennial skill is no longer useful to you? We burn a CD, rewind a mixed tape, and watch a VHS as we travel back to the past. We pass a fortune teller note that spilled tea we eavesdropped on from our corded home phone. And then we print out our Mapquest directions and head home for the holidays. So, if you too were born in the 1900s, then you are...

This week on Anyway... We ask the question, What are you unthankful for? We loathe NovemBOO with its cold temps and early onset seasonal depression. We rage against the machine when we have to do a crossword in the bathroom because the internet doesn't work. And later, we gaslight our family again because of our forgetful type b personalities. So if you're succeeding at failing up in life, then yo...

This week on Anyway, we ask the question, how do you protect the family? We whisper "I protect the family" by driving 30 extra miles to save 10 cents on gas. We watch zombie shows to literally protect the family from the apocalypse. We protect the family by protecting the vibe with our girl power playlist. And later, we tell our husbands "you have to protect the family" because we can't listen to...

This week on Anyway, we ask what are your Micro Regrets? We contemplate cross-stitching our books on a shirt but just keep swiping, we regret knowing what 6 7 is but not being naked instead of doing laundry. And later, we say "what's up baby girl" with the confidence of a 12 year old Harper. So if you are here for a good time but not a long time, then you are in the right place and we're happy to...

This week on Anyway... We ask the question, What are you doing with a forced day off? We buy hiking boots when we meant to by Gondola shoes. We say "I needed this" and its just a starburst on vacation. And late, we step into our truth that it may not be perimenopause, we may just be witches. So, if you can make every hobby your whole personality, then you are in the right place and we're happy to...

This week on Anyway, we ask the question What are you NOT doing in your 40s? We are NOT skipping the dentist or even dessert and definitely NOT skipping stretching before, well, anything. We're certainly NOT looking in the mirror with 25 mugs and saying "Ok, Pam". And later, we're NOT wasting our time on any bad vibes. So if you've ever DNFed a book about two serial killers falling in love then yo...

This week on Anyway... We ask the question, How are you thriving and how are you just surviving? We overvolunteer, lie to a stranger, and call our gelato man. We let our American show by messing with an entire culture. And later, we ask Alexa to remember what we were going to say. So if you've never let the truth get in the way of a good story, you are in the right place and we're happy to have yo...

This week on Anyway… We ask the question, how do you stay organized? We buy some tubs, use QR codes, and reject the metric system. We lean-in to our Type-B-ness despite our Rude Spouses and later “this Mom DO play”, but just not when the neighbors can hear it. So, If the all the walls in your house are connected, then You are in the right place and we’re happy to have you. SPONSOR ALERT! Have...

This week on Anyway, we ask the question....In another language completely... We order command strips, pack some snacks, and find the tallest towers. We quickly realize, in Europe, wine is cheaper than water and later, we realize Europeans can hear US coming a kilometer away. So if you've ever moved to a foreign country and did zero research beforehand, then you are in the right place and we are h...

Most weeks, we reserve this section for fun videos or tips and tricks but this week, it will be a place for resources.  The Enneagram is fun to explore and incredibly informative, if only you have the right tools... The Road Back to You   This amazing book will help you figure out exactly what number you are. It is insightful and interesting, among other things. Just my Enneatype    This amazing p...

This week on Anyway… We continue our conversation about our High School selves. Enjoy! SPONSOR ALERT! Have you all checked out Orphintage yet?! This is an amazing company that specializes in finding you the perfect vintage shirt, whether it is for you or the perfect gift for a friend. Ali and Cassie are both recipients of a rare and vintage shirt from Orphintage so we give our full endorsemen...

This week on Anyway… We ask the question,  what would High School you think of you ? We invite Joel to talk Schnitzel Makers, “I” statements, and MASH. We read the names of our past loves painted on the walls of our room and later, we get applause and cringes from our flare jeans younger selves. So, If you’ve ever dreamed of driving a color changing car, then You are in the right place a...

This week on Anyway... We ask the questions, what's been going on? We take down curtains, learn new church jokes, and yield our time. We try to keep it breezy when our kids show interest in things we like and later, we only read the highlighted parts of the contract and sell the car. So, if you've ever listened to this show with ear phones, then you are in the right place and we're happy to have y...
