This week we’re recapping Nicole’s bachelorette! It was a full girl's weekend of last minute adventures, staying out late, and taking in everything the city had to offer. But it got us thinking about how much we might be missing out on by trying to live the "perfect" life at all other times. We're getting into optimization culture and why being obsessed with doing everything better and faster might actually be making us feel worse. Oura rings, health data, AI tools, productivity hacks all give us more time and more data, but what's the point of optimizing for optimization's sake? At what point does all of it stop being helpful and start being another thing that makes you feel like you're falling behind?If you've been feeling burnt out or like you've lost the plot a little bit, this one's for you.Keep Up With Us:Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/holdingitpod/⁠TikTok: ⁠ https://www.tiktok.com/@holdingitpod⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@HoldingItPod⁠

I love you, it's ruining my life: Taylors wedding, Ulta hauls, shopping sprees, baking cakes and all things girl - from wedding inspo to products we are influencing each other to buy.This week AI is RUINING our lives, the girls and girling (or at the very least trying to), and the FOMO is real and we just want to have fun.

This week, in honor of our 250th birthday, we're diving into our favorite things about America. We love freedom of speech on this podcast! To start off, we also talk about overcoming insecurity and imposter syndrome, especially when it comes to fitness. The Insecurities of an All-American Girl

This week the girls revisit their 2026 goals: how they are going so far, add new ones, and remind themselves what they still have to do. The girls also went viral last week with 300k + views on an instagram reel. (It isn't what you think is about to happen). And Nicole is in full wedding prep swing.Sorry for only audio this week (our video was corrupted <3)

Nicole is in her construction Barbie era and she is not okay. We're talking 10-12 hour days in the sun, farmer's tan, and a burnout so bad she called off work, slept for 12 hours straight, and felt absolutely zero guilt about it. This week we got into what burnout actually does to you - doom scrolling, ignoring the people you love, masking in front of your boyfriend while he makes you paella, and the fun little cycle of feeling powerless while you watch yourself spiral in real time. We also get into the analog bag trend, why the Brick is genuinely the greatest invention of our generation, Hannah's very passionate beefs with vegan food, a Love Island debrief nobody asked for, the hot dog game TikTok that almost hit 40k, and why Friday night goes so much harder than Saturday night and we will not be taking questions.If you've been in a funk lately, this one might hit a little close to home.

Two years ago we shared our honest thoughts on motherhood, and and that episode remains one of our most popular episodes to this day. But a lot has changed since then. In this follow-up episode, we’re checking back in to talk about how our views on motherhood have evolved, what still scares us, what feels different now, and the pressures we feel as women in our 20s. We get into expectations vs. reality, societal timelines, career goals, relationships, the financials of becoming a parent, and how growing up has shifted the way we think about becoming moms (or not).

Your early 20s come with a lot of lessons, most of them learned the hard way.
