Welcome back honeys. Today's episode kicks off with Nicole getting hacked. After some quick catching up and talking about one of our fav subjects (plastic surgery), the episode takes an unexpected turn in to one of the best topics yet: Women are expected to expand throughout life, but do we expect the same from men? Between the mental and physical loads women have to bear, we are basically superhuman and deserve a fat reward. But is being superhuman even a good thing, or just a way to turn an un...

We're back this week with the one and only Kellee Khalil, founder & CEO of Loverly and host of the Loverly Wedding Planning Podcast.

Happy Spooky SZN, Honeys! What's the scariest thing of all?? Men who are having babies that don't understand what all goes into it! JK, we wouldn't know (yet), but our bada$$ mama listeners sure do, and this episode was driven by you all. We start off by giving you Halloween costume ideas. Some may be a bit basic, but who says that's a bad thing? Then we read the most hilarious listener submissions of all the things husbands didn't understand when becoming parents. We also learned a lot througho...

Honeys, we're officially in our 30s. Which is great, we're more mature (sort of), more confident, and have more money than we did in our 20s. However, both decades still have one thing in common: becoming an adult during them sucks. It's hard sometimes. In this episode, we give updates on both of our moving situations (Nicole found a place! Caro, still up in the air), and we play a fun game of f*ck, marry, kill to discuss your submissions for how adulting sucks. We end the episode on some uplift...

We're back for another fun solo episode, and this time we're celebrating "Golden Husbands" for a change. We have an email from a listener all about how her husband is basically perfect, and we give her easy tips for how she can show her appreciation (hint: the #1 tip is just to be herself bc let's face it, he's lucky to be married to her anyway). Then we get into fun questions about each other to see who's the better listener, and in a shocking turn of events, it's Nicole who gets most of them r...

Honeys, this episode gets prettyyyy deep. We start with recapping Caro's birthday week and why it's important to be a good friend on your friend's birthday, and how Nicole won MVP of the week by simply sending bagels. We then get giddy about Fall and spooky season approaching, and no it's not too early for that ok? We also talk shows that we're watching right now (Love Island, Tell Me Lies, and The Perfect Couple) - and we're watching completely different shows (shocker). We finally get into the...

Honeys, we're finally doing it (no pun intended). We're finally delving more into the topic of sex (Caroline is sweating, but Nicole's forcing the topic because it's important). Before we get into the sex talk, we discuss an email from a listener whose husband decided to tell her that he's changed his mind about wanting kids. The classic bait and switch. Nicole found a game in her TV credenza called "Where Should We Begin?" by Esther Perel, so the girls play it by answering some of the very uniq...

Honeys, we’re kind of all over the place today (in the best way possible).

Nicole and Caro have their first mini fight on the pod, which is exciting for you all because it makes for great content. They then discuss beauty and coffee-related recs of the week, and add in a new segment of women recs of the week where they basically just geek out o...

Honeys, we did it. We finally had one of our long-awaited guests on: Intuitive, Podcaster, and Author, Nikki Novo.

As the creator of the Soul Reading Method and author of Soul Led Living, Nikki has a goal of helping her clients find clarity and purpose in their path's, as well as discovering our soul's TRUE path and purpose, even when we're struggling to see what it ...

Honeys, we're finally home. No but actually, the girls have been apart for what feels like a century because Nicole was running amok in Spain and London for the past 2.5 weeks since she's childless and (corporate) jobless. Caro catches her up on what she's missed, including Sonny Angels and the giant river in France. They then recap Nicole's trip and chat all about the pros and cons of traveling with a girl vs. a guy (hint: unfortunately it's easier with a guy only bc they carry bags). They end ...

There's a special guest this week and it is none other than John Albert Patterson III, Caro's witty husband, back for round two. No stranger to coming on the show, John and Caroline skip the meet cute (go to their first joint episode, Honey, John's Home, for all that good stuff and then come back!) and they get straight in to audience burning questions. After a quick recap of All About John, a Ballerina Farm debrief that only a male could drum up, and a saga of why being a faster dish washer isn...

Happy Freaking Tuesday. Caro read One Italian Summer and listened to Taylor's Swift surprise song set in Gelsenkirchen and decided just because she's married it doesn't mean she can't fall in love again. It's the summer of "sexy dates" - which are basically "engates" (engaged-dates) for washed up married girlies like ourselves. The real tea comes from audience tips, who are proof that this theory works and Niki has enough ideas to write a book on cool things we should all start doing with our sp...

Today's episode addresses everyone's favorite topic: MONEY. Caro and Niki decide to sign up for painting classes because wall art is too expensive (let's see if they'll actually follow through with it though). Then, they talk about what they'd be doing if they could work for fun and not for money (lol, goals). The rest of the episode is spent discussing an email from a MOH who's bride friend is asking her to pay a trillion dollars for her MOH duties, which leads to a larger discussion: why is be...

They end the episode by giving advice on a listener email all about wedding planning with family drama: Do you have to in...

The elephant in the room is that caro got obliterated online last week and the girlies aren’t feeling GREAT about it. Caro might have handled it with jokes but she unpacks the unpleasantness and emotional breakdown behind what really happened and Niki threatens to go to battle in her honor - because all facades down, it isn’t pleasant being up against millions of bullies behind screens, no matter how secure you might be in reality. Afterwards there’s a very important rendezvous regarding baby sh...

Today's episode is a fun catch up. If you really want to spice things up, let's play a little game: drink every time one of the girls says "involved". They start out by talking about which brands have a chic aesthetic, and which are made to cater to Crossfit men. Then, get discuss how it's important to set expectations early on with your partner about how involved (drink!) you want them to be in your life's events, and how unfortunately that's not always the case with some couples. Not Mike and ...

Today's episode is a little shorter than usual (let us know if you like that though, k??) because Nicole was running late but then suddenly showed up in full glam.

The girls then get in to answering a lengthy but important email about a bride who's putting all of her loved ones to WORK instead of hiring wedding vendors. They then answer some quick AMA questions about wedding perfume, post-wedding depression, and more! Xoxo hope...

Niki goes through what she’s learned so far - and one factor obviously being finances, leads the girls to finally talk about exactly how that goes down in each of their households and get transparent about what they feel like they haven’t figured out yet.
