Well Said, Red

Today we're looking at all the friends of the pod who want to do things alone but are maybe a little afraid to...and we're saying buckle up girlfriend, this is how it's done! Whether you want to go on a solo trip or are simply looking to boost your confidence in everyday alone activities, we've got some ideas, tips, and general chit-chat to help you ease into more healthy, enjoyabl...

We love women's health, yes we do, we want tampons without heavy metals, how 'bout you!? Tampons have been in the news recently—and for a less-than-ideal reason. Heavy metals, lead, arsenic, oh my! Today we discuss what is actually in tampons, how to know that your menstrual products are safe to use, and the changes that need to be made for the sake of menstruating women worldwide. And whi...

Your favorite redheads are...having a crisis? Had a crisis? Expecting a crisis? Honestly none of the above but since it's a rule you have to at least ~consider~ having a crisis when you turn 30, we're discussing it. It's true—decisions in your 30s do feel significantly bigger. More important. More life-changing. And while our eldest daughter selves also felt that in our 20s, these emot...

Welcome back to season three of Well Said, Red! After a year's hiatus and more than a few emotional rollercoasters, we're thrilled to be back and, dare we say, better than ever? To kick it off well (?) we're diving into Brat Summer in all its glory (??). Baby tees and 0.5 selfies and living your truth, oh my? We're chatting through whether Brat Summer is for us—any of us. Send us a...

We are shocked and appalled (and absolutely delighted) to bring you the season finale of season 2! Today we're just doing what we do best—shooting the breeze and having an honest conversation about where we're at. Some things are going well. Some things are looking bleak. Most things are right in the middle. Devon also turns 30 in two weeks. Lil turns a much less dramatic age two months la...

We're incredibly fond of the city we call home, but we can't pull the "born and raised" card...no matter how much we'd like to. So to really dig into what it means to be a New Yorker, we called up local entrepreneur, Manya Yeva. Manya's Brooklyn-born point of view brought us many laughs, hot takes, and NYC love. We're obsessed with her. We're all obsessed with Bro...

Anyone else feeling a little mid-summer-slumpy? Same girlfriends (and boys, for our favorite men who listen!). But we are always in favor of changing it up a bit in the name of health and happiness. Today we're talking about unique ways to spice up your life in fun, wellness-forward ways that you may actually want to make a normal part of your routine. From food habits to everyday extravagance...

Is it just us, or is literally everyone in Italy? While only one of us participated in a Lake Como moment recently, if there's one thing these two redheads know it's how to travel WELL. Sure, we have our differences—transit preferences, food priorities, airlines we've sworn off for good, who we'll say "yes!" to a trip with—but all in all we're peas in a pod when it co...

Friendship breakups suck. We've all had them, we've all grieved them, we've all wondered "what the heck happened here?" While friendship breakups are often confusing and emotionally taxing, sometimes they're an inevitable ending that will serve you well later on. As relationship-forward gals, we understand the emotional chaos that comes from a close friend leaving your li...

We're back! And we're here to talk about social media—the good, the bad, and the "oof that's so 2016." We're two main character energy girls. We loooooove a little coffee shop morning with Trader Joe's peonies (tis the season) and the rule of thirds. We appreciate Instagram's ability to store memories and art. But as the concept of "romanticizing your life&qu...

Rest is actually a lot of work. Wait, that's confusing. Rest is just sleeping on the couch for a nap. Wait, but the couch means I'm scrolling on TikTok. Rest is putting up boundaries. WAIT. How do you actually rest in ways that are sustainable and effective? The wellness space has long discussed rest and the importance it has for an individual's wellbeing. Yet we still haven't quit...

In honor of our eternal love of wedding season AND Devon and Isaac's one year anniversary, we're adding an exclusive bridal interview to our wedding library. Today Lil interviews Dev to chat all things wedding planning—choosing to have a destination wedding, curating the guest list, and deciding how many people is the appropriate amount for a bridal party. Oh, and how did she do it while m...

Bachelorette season is upon us and your resident wedding experts are here to help you take on every single color-themed night by storm! We've each hit double digits in our own bachelorette attendance and frankly, we know a thing or two about making a bride feel loved and managing obscure bachelorette obstacles that could come your way. From destinations to the perfect time to leave the bar, we...

Is it just us, or is life actually flying at the speed of light these days? Today we debrief The Eras Tour (yes, it's true, Lil got tickets), traveling every other weekend, and sentimental moments amidst chaos. And while our social, extroverted selves would love to chat highlights all day long, the reality is that life can be (and for some of us, currently is) equally beautiful and difficult....

The conversation surrounding body image has made massive strides in the wellness world within the last decade. But just because the pendulum has swung one direction doesn't mean we've "fixed" the fitness space, how we talk about body shape and size, and what we expect of our bodies. Honestly? It's still a giant garbage fire. That's why we're so excited to have award-w...

We talk about New Years Resolutions but do we ever check in mid-year to see what might have creeped back into our routines? This week on the pod Lily and Devon dive into 3 things they're spring cleaning, whether it be physically, mentally, or emotionally along with 3 things they're bringing into the Spring season and the rest of 2023. Tune in to find out whose closets are getting cleaned a...

Cohabitation is a beautiful, weird aspect of life that most of us have to figure out (thank you, housing market). Today we dive into finding roommates in New York City, understanding what creates a safe, respectful home environment, and learning how to not be irritating to live with and maintaining self awareness for your ~less than phenomenal~ qualities you may bring into a living situation. AKA...

Let's cut to the chase — dating these days ain't it. But amidst the ghosting and situationships and swiping, what's really out there? What's the hot goss? Today we welcome The Brooklyn Bachelorette on the pod to discuss red flags, where to pick up the few good men left in this world, and how the absolute heck to score a date offline. Abby Docherty, long time friend of the pod, shar...

Getting laid off is actually a nightmare. And we've both been through it! Separate times, separate companies, separate financial circumstances—but ultimately a shared experience we can reflect on now that we've seen the other side. Today we each share our stories, talk through the strategies we made to survive unemployment in New York City, discuss the helpful advice we received, and consi...

Today we dive into how we're choosing to "live well" in our current seasons. Are there some fads that are worth it? Do the TikTok influencers actually know what they're talking about? Or should we throw them out and only eat what we grow in our gardens? How many times should I wash my hair every week? How are we supposed to create a ~routine~ when our brains are going 90 miles an hour?  Same,...

Once upon a great day in 2015, Lil's beloved New York Times published its "36 Questions That Lead to Love." So, in an effort to provide the Well Said Red audience with some perspective and plenty of giggles, we dove headfirst into 5 of them. Maybe we'll do the remaining 31 in segments. Maybe we'll bring Isaac on the pod and see if he and Devon fall more madly in love thanks to question 33. Maybe t...

They're baaaaaaaaack! We are so excited to have you join us for another season of Well Said Red. We're back and—well, better than ever may be a stretch, but we're hanging in there. To kick off our second season of podcasting we need to catch y'all up on a few key details happening in our lives. The good, the bad, the "I'm sorry, what did they say?" You know, the usual.  As we finish planning...

In this final episode of season 1, Lil and Dev reflect on how they might not make a resolutions list, but then decide maybe they might?  This episode is full of Christmas cheer, reflecting on our last year, and being hopeful for what's to come in 2023. We announce when season 2 will be premiering and ask for your advice on what we should talk about!  We've enjoyed creating and being mess...

'Tis the season of Secret Santas, book exchanges, and trying to find the perfect gift for the "tough" individual in your family. It's the Wild West out there when it comes to properly filling the stockings with loving, thoughtful, useful gifts that are customized to each individual. Lucky for you, we're no newbies to the gift-giving game and we're ready to spill our shopping tips and tricks to mak...

We are thrilled to present the very first Well Said Red Thanksgiving Episode. Like all great pop culture staples (New Girl, Friends, Gossip Girl) we are serving our holly jolly vibes on a silver platter and sending it off through the internet and into your headphones. Today we touch on traditions, dive deep into gratitude and how to practice it authentically and daily, and end with a festive littl...
