From the classic archetypes of Disney princesses and villains to the modern titans of superhero cinema, we're unpacking the character dynamics that define our favorite stories.

n this episode, the ladies engage in a food challenge where they create meals using whatever ingredients they have at home. The conversation flows into discussions about self-care, emotional well-being, and the impact of the political climate on mental health.

The episode culminates in a reflection on intentional self-care practices and the significance of being present in the moment.

Internet’s Wild Ride

In this episode, we’re diving into the power of trends—how they shape our lives, our social feeds, and even our identities. From hilarious social media fads to nostalgic throwbacks we wish would make a comeback, we're breaking down the trends that have us hooked, the ones that make us cringe, and the psychology behind why we follow them in the first place.

Join us as we debate the fine line between self-expression and bandwagon culture, reminisce about fashion regrets (hello, layering phase!), and spill the trends we secretly love (or hate). Whether it’s viral TikTok challenges, food aesthetics, or the return of 90s nostalgia, this conversation is a mix of humor, self-reflection, and pop culture chaos.

👀 What’s a trend you secretly love? What’s one you regret? Drop your thoughts in the comments!

Episode Highlights:

• The comfort of lighthearted content & why animal videos are taking over social feeds
• Home decor, whimsical food, & the resurgence of DIY creativity
• The LulaRoe craze & how trends tap into a need for belonging
• Fashion fails: layering, monogram bags & questionable Y2K outfits
• The psychology of trends: are we following for fun or just trying to fit in?
• Why social media makes us feel like we need to “keep up”
