from we are NOT the SAME · host Heather Gardner and Lacey Joseph

Send us Fan MailEver wondered what happens when two friends record their lives during a complete emotional spiral? That's exactly what we did in season one of this podcast, and now we're looking back at those wild times with a mixture of horror and amusement.In this deeply candid catch-up episode, we take you through the evolution of our friendship and personal journeys, from questionable fashion choices (like that four-inch hair poof that required half a bottle of hairspray) to the dramatic relationship revelations that continue to shape our lives. One shocking story involves discovering a secret child that had been hidden for five years during a 9.5-year relationship, alongside other disturbing behaviors that came to light all in one overwhelming day.We don't hold back as we discuss the challenges of co-parenting with difficult exes, managing strong-willed children, and trying to provide stability despite complicated custody arrangements. There's something uniquely therapeutic about being able to laugh at our past selves while acknowledging how much growth has happened since those early recording days. We share our struggles with finding structure and routine—especially for those of us with ADHD tendencies—and our dating patterns that we're actively working to improve ("unattractive, unmotivated, usually addicted to something" being the type we're trying to avoid).Between planning fitness competitions, family trips, and celebrating important milestones, we're navigating life's complexities with honesty and humor. This episode perfectly captures why listeners connect with our unfiltered conversations—we're all works in progress, making mistakes, learning from them, and occasionally recording the whole messy journey for everyone's enjoyment. Join us for this raw, heartfelt discussion that proves sometimes the best stories come from our most chaotic chapters. -Support the show
