Episode 11: Two Journeys, One Classroom Start
What happens when two teachers take very different paths out of the classroom? In this episode, we sit down with one educator who traded lesson plans for the corporate sales world and another who stepped into school leadership as a vice principal. We compare their stories, their challenges, and the surprising ways teaching still shapes their daily lives. Whether you’ve ever thought about leaving education or just wondered what life looks like beyond the blackboard, this conversation shines a light on the many journeys a teaching career can lead to.

Episode 10: The Algorithm Knows Too Much
Ever feel personally attacked by your For You Page? Same. In this episode, we’re diving headfirst into the internet chaos that shapes our daily lives. From the delusions we’ve outgrown (remember when we swore we’d never use Walmart+?) to the weird little trends we secretly love, hate, or rage-scroll past at 2am. We talk girl dinners, Amazon purchases, TikTok therapists, and why the algorithm might know us a little too well.Plus, a round of “Click or Skip” where we confess to the content we can’t help but click on even when it makes us cringe.

Episode 9: A Little Bit of Heat, A Lot of Truth
This week, we’re embracing our Big Sister Summer era. We're handing out unsolicited advice, writing permission slips for grown women everywhere, and talking about the kind of summer glow-ups that don’t involve a spray tan. From saying no without guilt to ditching toxic "friend" energy, we’re bringing the truth with a side of SPF (70 to be exact). It’s hot, we’re tired, and we're still our true selves.
