#14 BFF Chit Chat with Britney Semler and Jennifer Cataldo

In today's episode of What She's Having, Jen & Brit roll into full best-friend energy — catching up on life, travel plans, set design wins (and disasters), parenting realities, and the hilariously dramatic origin story of Winston the Whippet, the unofficial mascot of the show. From prenups and money wounds, to remodel stress, favorite local restaurants, kids' homework meltdowns, adult-child relationships, losing luggage in Italy, and the petty food crimes that should end friendships… this episode is cozy, chaotic, honest, and SO Season 2. Plus: pet peeves, parenting lessons, behind-the-scenes stories, and what's really happening in their lives right now. Grab a glass of wine, a blanket, and have what we're having. 💕 TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – 03:20: Season 2 energy & why this season hits different 03:20 – 11:30: Guest reflections + prenups, money conversations & immigrant-family dynamics 11:30 – 17:20: Set design accidents that turned into design opportunities 17:20 – 22:50: The legend of Winston the Whippet: how he was "rescued" 22:50 – 30:00: Jen's remodel chaos, Canadian cabinets & unexpected design wins 30:00 – 38:45: Restaurant recs: Yumi Sushi, We Vino, Red O & hospitality done right 38:45 – 48:30: Travel talk: Italy, France & the infamous lost luggage in Rome story 48:30 – 57:25: Packing struggles, simplifying travel, moms vs. kid trips 57:25 – 1:05:20: Parenting, homework meltdowns, long division trauma & school expectations 1:05:20 – 1:14:10: Raising older kids, supporting passions & Sam's big Viper Room show 1:14:10 – 1:21:30: Family dynamics, sibling relationships & watching kids grow up 1:21:30 – 1:29:45: Pet peeves rapid-fire: slow drivers, ASMR, door manners, mascara clumps, dessert etiquette 1:29:45 – End: Cozy future episodes, listener questions, and how to reach us 📲 CONNECT WITH US Instagram: @officialwhatsheshaving https://instagram.com/officialwhatshesheshaving Watch Full Episodes: YouTube – What She's Having (Be sure to subscribe!)
