In this episode, Jessa hits record a few days after turning 28 and reflects on the wild, weird, and wonderful ride of being human. From learning to release control to letting life unfold without gripping too tightly, this one’s all about living in flow, creating your own reality, and tuning into what actually feels good.
She shares lessons from her own journey on how your internal state shapes your external world, how your relationships are mirrors, and why co-creating with the universe is way more fun than trying to force the plan. Think: birthday reflections, metaphysical musings, and just a cozy little catch-up with your consciousness-forward co-host.
Whether you’re deep in your Saturn return or just need a reminder to chill the f*ck out and trust, this one’s a solo soul hug from Jess to you.

In our very first virtual episode (!!), we’re tuning in from two very different but equally nostalgic places; Jessa from her childhood home in upstate New York, and Amanda from the magic of Aspen. We catch up on all the post-Europe reintegration feelings & Amanda’s family time in the mountains.
But the heart of this week’s conversation? Blue Zones - those rare places in the world where people consistently live past 100 and do it with joy, grace, and community. We unpack Dan Buettner’s groundbreaking research and the nine pillars that define Blue Zone living from natural movement and strong social ties to living with purpose and eating with intention.
We talk about the sovereignty you have to shape your environment, choose your daily rituals, and create a meaningful life…no matter where you live. Plus, how we’re integrating these insights into our own lives post-travel, post-chaos, and back in the flow.
Spoiler: there’s definitely more to say on this, so consider this Part One.

In this unfiltered and easeful conversation, Amanda brings her husband, Lucas, onto the mic for a raw look inside their marriage. From breaking down gender roles to navigating new parenthood without losing themselves —or each other— they explore what it really means to build a conscious relationship in 2025... especially since they've been building theirs since 2014.
Expect discussion on evolving as individuals, hot takes on flirting while married, hilarious detours that highlight Lucas' ADHD (Jack Black's angelic voice? Balding empowerment? The legend of the red Kia Sorento?), and a whole lot of taboo truth-telling. They talk resentment, desire, leadership in marriage, and why letting your partner be fully themselves might be the ultimate act of love.
Plus, they both share their best tips on entering parenthood and thriving because this wouldn't be an Amanda episode if it didn't include MILF & DILF energy. Whether you're single, partnered, or somewhere in between, this one will leave you questioning the old rules—and maybe rewriting your own.

You’ve heard the name… now meet the man. After months of mysterious references to “Zeus,” we’re finally pulling back the curtain. In this special episode, Jessa is joined by her Greek boyfriend (!!!) where they share the story of how they met, what it’s like building a long-distance relationship, how they navigate security and honesty in partnership … and yes, she even makes him sing the Beverage of the Week song (spoiler: he nails it).
From heartfelt first impressions of each other to childhood reflections, we explore Zeus’s experience growing up in Greece, Greek family traditions, and the cultural rhythms that shaped him. Plus, the two unpack how they approach conflict with clarity and care, and what this chapter of love and has taught them both about secure attachment.
Whether you’re here for the romance, the culture, or the sexy Greek man… welcome to Jessa’s wifey era.

In this deeper dive from the South of France, we reflect on what it means to travel consciously in a chaotic world. From learning how to pick the right travel companions (hint: it’s not just who you like, but who you can communicate well with), to the importance of sharing your travel preferences and getting honest about what makes or breaks a trip for each of you.
We talk about how travel, when done with intention and strong sense of intuition, can crack your mind wide open rather than close it off, and how being abroad has both challenged and expanded us. Plus, we share some of our real time travel stories and mistakes — spoiler, our safe word was "truffle pasta" — since arriving in France, along with the tips we wish someone had told us beforehand.
We close out the episode with dinner, drinks, and convos from a balmy night in Nice with a local as our special, impromptu guest. Come eavesdrop on a little corner of the world with us...

Bonjour from Antibes! In this special overseas episode, we reunite IRL in the South of France after Jessa’s whirlwind four-week adventure leading a group of 18-year-old girls across five countries. Amanda has officially landed, and we’re catching up on everything… from travel companions and cultural shocks to the magic of walking everywhere and how Europeans just get how to live.
We talk about the creative inspiration that comes from travel, the slower pace of life we wish Americans would adopt, and the big, juicy lessons that come from stepping out of your comfort zone & into other cultures.
Consider this your passport to laughter, reflection, and some très chic travel insights.

In this melodic episode, we dive into the soul-shaking power of music…how it heals, moves, connects, programs, and shapes us. From ancient healing frequencies to the modern-day cultural landscape of pop lyrics and stardom, we explore how sound becomes a language for the spirit and how artists build worlds that shape our society.
But first, we debrief what a morning with a two and four year old is actually like. Jessa slept over Amanda's and recounts the shocking experience of dropping the boys off at daycare & changing her first diaper. After a hyper-pop Beverage of The Week ode, we share stories about the songs that shaped our identities, the concerts that changed our lives, and the way certain frequencies can regulate the nervous system and unlock deep emotion.
Amanda also unpacks the rabbit hole conspiracy theories she went down involving XXX Tentacion & Drake, the difference between 432 hz, 440 hz, & 528 hz, and how frequency controls our minds. This episode is for those who understand the importance of music in our culture. Because it isn't just entertainment — it’s medicine, memory, and meaning.

Drink every time we say "potent." This week, we're cracking open a bottle of "Spanish" red wine, and Paulo Coelho’s timeless tale of destiny for our first-ever book club episode.
The Alchemist hits different every time you read it—and this time, it led us into a deep, almost-two-hour conversation about personal legends, time, unconditional love, and fear, while also clearing up some of our unanswered questions: what is the Elixir of Life, the Emerald Tablet, and the Philosopher's Stone? What is the meaning of the Englishman? And what does it really mean to follow the call of your soul? Amanda debriefs on her experience solo momming for a week, while Jessa shares about quitting her job to travel again, mirroring Santiago’s courageous leap into the unknown.
This episode is chaos and clever — how all good book clubs should be — but most of all, it's an ode to the dreamers, the seekers, and anyone who’s ever felt the pull toward something more. We weave in our favorite quotes, offer thoughtful questions for reflection, and end the conversation with purple teeth. Thank you for reading alongside us, and let us know what you thought about the book in a comment below, or tell us on instagram or Substack!

We're stepping outside — literally recording live from one of our fav spots in Boulder, CO — to explore the healing power of the natural world. From digital detoxes to emotional odes to David Attenborough (yes, Jessa cries), we reflect on the ways the outdoors has shaped us and continues to pull us back to what’s real.
Amanda shares her experience growing up next to shark bite capital of the world and sending her kids to nature school, while we both dive into the science behind negative ions, circadian rhythm, and how air quality helps us think more clearly.
We wrap up with an Embrace or Erase moment sharing our thoughts on grounding, sunscreen, forest bathing, and butthole sunning (yep). Let this episode serve as a reminder that Nature heals and reconnects you to your purpose, so it’s our duty to advocate for her. Whether it’s awe, stillness, or pure nostalgia, this one’s a love letter to the wild places that make us whole... and don’t forget to ask yourself, “if mother nature could speak, what would she say to you?”

What do your dreams really mean? Aaaaaaand what if they’re not just happening at night?
In this episode, we explore the mysterious landscape of the subconscious mind, from Jungian archetypes and shadow work to the difference between dreaming while you sleep and dreaming while you’re awake. We talk lucid dreams, prophetic symbols, collective unconscious, and what it really means to “follow your dreams.” We also dive into the hypnagogic state - a liminal, visionary space between sleep and wakefulness - where many artists, inventors, and mystics throughout history have tapped into wild bursts of creativity. This week, we’ll meet you in a parallel universe!

Not all identity shifts are signs of inauthenticity…sometimes, they’re signs of intelligence, adaptability, and social intuition. This week, we’re talking about what it means to be an identity chameleon: how we navigate showing different sides of ourselves in different spaces, and where the line is between genuine fluidity and losing ourselves to fit in. We explore how this shows up in friendships, family dynamics, and work life, as well as in culture & entertainment. We ask the key question when it comes to "playing the game" — am I being myself, or am I abandoning myself? Plus, a little life catch-up including Labubu’s grand return, and the dream/nightmare that woke Amanda up in a cold-sweat and made Jessa cry laughing.

This week we’re serving up an audio mood board for your summer (and honestly, your whole 2025). We each made Pinterest boards packed with our personal ins and outs and then basically turned them into a bantery, chaotic, but inspiring manifesto. Expect opening rants about sociopaths, Jessa’s new emotional support Labubu plush toy, and Amanda’s passport drama that almost canceled our entire international France trip.
It’s playful. It’s kind of profound. It’s a reminder that you get to curate your reality, one aesthetic decision at a time. Drop by to get creative about your own vibe this upcoming season.

This week’s episode is equal parts girl chat and grounded honesty. We dive into an important, though not exhaustive, conversation around mental health: the quiet undercurrents of depression and anxiety, how loneliness can linger even when life looks “good” on paper (and online) and the subtle but powerful impact of our environments.
Amanda discusses her experience with anxiety and the holistic tools she learned through mindset coaching, while Jessa shares how reconnecting with the natural world in Patagonia helped her move through a heavy season. Together we explore what it really means to care for your mental health…especially when you don’t know where to begin.
It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s a reminder that healing doesn’t always look like healing. Sometimes, it looks like lying in the dirt. Or dancing in your kitchen.

This week, we’re peeling back the layers of The White Lotus; not just a cultural critique of the show (warning- spoiler alert), but the aesthetic, the fantasy, and the Western fascination with, and misconception of Eastern mysticism. In this philosophical deep dive, Amanda poses the existential questions we’re all quietly screaming into the void: “Do we all have intrinsic value?” What are we without our attachments?”
Jess takes the mic with her lived experience as a modern Buddhist, walking us through the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and how ancient wisdom is still wildly relevant for your 21st-century soul.
From suffering and selfhood to karma and consciousness, this episode invites you to slow down, go inward, and actually sit with yourself. It’s not about having all the answers, it’s about learning to ask better questions…perhaps with a Timothy Ratliff piña colada in hand.

This week, we’re diving deep into the emotional underworld by exploring the frequency of emotions and how feelings like anger, shame, and pride hold powerful potential when acknowledged consciously. Inspired by the emotional frequency scale by David Hawkins, we unpack how emotions are energetic states that can either contract or expand us and how learning to alchemize them can lead to profound personal growth.
We reflect on the concept of sacred anger, how it can be a gateway to healing rather than something to suppress and talk about the fine line between willingness and capability when it comes to emotional expression and interpersonal dynamics.
This is one of our deeper episodes, full of philosophical and spiritual reflections, with the intention of helping you feel more, judge less, and transmute what hurts into what heals.

This week, we’re just two girls on a mic, catching up on life and spiraling into random corners of our brains. From wondering if birds are government drones to rebranding our future grandma names, questioning the pyramids, and name-dropping Joe Dispenza just enough to keep it conscious…we’re embracing the beauty of aimless banter.
There’s nothing wildly profound here; just laughter, curiosity, and conversations that feel like a sleepover in audio form. Think of this as your breather before we get deep next week with a very philosophical episode. Until then, enjoy this brain smoothie of chaos, nostalgia, and bird conspiracies.

Spring has finally arrived in Denver, and we’re soaking up the sun while diving into a conversation about movement; how it heals, expresses, and connects us to our most intuitive selves. But first, we banter about Mercury in retrograde and quote every strange viral sound clip and movie under the sun.
We explore intuitive movement, why humans move the way we do, and how tuning into the body’s natural rhythms unlocks healing, expression, and play. From performance and athletics to body image and self-connection, we reflect on our own journeys with movement as a tool for growth. Plus, in our new “Embrace or Erase” segment, we break down different movement trends and whether we’re into them or over them.
Whether you move for joy, strength, or simply to feel more alive, this episode is a reminder to embrace movement as a way to experience life more fully.

We’re catching up on life, love, and Las Vegas before diving into the mystical world of numerology. Jessa spills on her love life, Amanda recaps her trip to Vegas, and then we get into the magic of Numerology - because, apparently, math can be sexy. Jessa reads Amanda’s life and year path numbers, breaking down the archetypes of 1-9 and how numbers show up in your life as a self-realization tool. We also get into the Fibonacci sequence, the hidden language of the universe, and Jessa’s reconciliation with Pythagoras after years of hating math. Whether you’re a numbers nerd or a skeptic, lean in and see how these symbols might just reveal more about you than you think.

Language is one of the greatest tools we have, but also one of our biggest limitations. In this episode, we unravel the magic and mystery of words and language - how they shape our reality, connect us and yet.. still fall short of truly expressing the depth of human experience. Can you ever fully describe love? Grief? A spiritual awakening? We explore everything from linguistics and Amanda's love letters she mailed to Lucas, to the myth that Jessa believes is Hellen Keller. Plus, we put language to the test in a Beverage of the Week experiment… can Amanda find the perfect words to capture what she’s tasting? Tune in as we navigate the spoken and the unspeakable.

In this casual (but surprisingly deep) bonus episode, we’re riding the wave of excitement from being featured on Apple Podcasts’ Browse page and welcoming all our new listeners!
We kick things off like a true girl chat: dream weddings, our unfiltered thoughts on nose jobs and gender reveals, and random life hacks like mouth tape and Nadi Shodhana breathwork. But don’t worry, we take a sharp left turn as always and end up diving into quantum jumping, fate vs. free will, and the big questions about life’s deepest truths. It’s a little bit of everything, and somehow it all makes sense. Come for banter, stay for existentialism.
