Best Friends, Business Partners & Breaking the “Nice Girl” Code

This week on The Blunt and the Beautiful, we’re joined by the women who built us — in more ways than one!Tully Humphrey and Sarah Pasini. Founders of Tully Lou, Curious Conversations, Co- Founders of Stitch Up Studios, and about 7 other domain names they may or may not use, these two are more than just businesswomen — they’re chosen family.In this episode, we deep-dive into everything from co-founder therapy sessions to influencer fakery, grief and caregiving, and the terrifying return of SkinnyTok. We talk friendship, finances, eating disorders, family legacies, and the impossible task of showing up online when you’d rather crawl under a doona.We also get brutally honest about what it’s like to co-run businesses, reparent yourself through motherhood, and why you’re better off being kind than nice. Spoiler: Nice is for people who can’t set boundaries.Whether you're healing your inner child, managing your mental health, or just trying to avoid polyester during perimenopause — this one’s for you.🔥 TakeawaysReal friendship means knowing what words not to sayInfluencer culture rewards performance over authenticityWomen deserve to be financially educated — and empoweredGrief, guilt and caregiving often exist in the same breathYou can rewire an eating disorder, but it takes brutal honestyPurpose really doesn’t age (hi, Nana!)SkinnyTok might be gone, but body pressures still haunt usBusiness partnerships are basically marriages.
