It's Nothing, It's Everything

Our two-hour session continues with more discussion around difficult family dynamics, breaking cycles, and loving ourselves and each other enough to speak up when something is wrong. 2026 is coming in hot and we are already putting those 2025 lessons to the test. Are you guys surviving out there?!

The first half of a two-hour recording session where we continue our conversation about the unexpected changes and transitions of 2025. In this first half, Kimberly opens up about hard lessons related to a massive transition in 2025 and what that means for her in 2026.

It's giving mid, it's giving rizz, it's giving 67. A very special INIE where we catch up after the holidays, yap about nothing, yap about everything, and have a special guest cameo!?

Honest question- do you stick to your New Year's resolutions? We're not looking at the New Year as an opportunity for reinvention, but we are excited about getting smarter with what has already been learned. We're looking back at what didn't work for 2025 (sans shame or judgement) and using those lessons as guidance. No shiny resolutions, no pressure, just intentional change based on honesty and clarity. LFG 2026.

It's the final week of 2025 and boy has this year not been boring. Life has been full of unexpected changes and transitions for both of us, and we have spent many an episode vague-booking about them. In this last episode of the year, Tori opens up about hard lessons coming out of an unexpected change and what that means for her in 2026.

Which holiday traditions do you look forward to, and which ones would you prefer on the chopping block? With the season upon us, we have both found ourselves breaking tradition and creating something new for ourselves and our kiddos. And of course, we have the age-old discussion of how to answer our young, innocent interrogators about the existence of Santa. Has anyone actually found a solution for this??

A half #kthottake, half storytelling episode. We start and end with listener stories, and fill the whole hot mess middle with personal experiences. From boundaries with people you'll never see again, to boundaries with people you may have to see for the rest of your life... are your boundaries actually boundaries, and who are they actually serving?

Like The Boxcar Children, only not at all. You know those younger versions of yourself that you still cringe at and avoid thinking about? The ones you just shove into the mental junk drawer to avoid facing, so that you don't have to feel feelings about the choices Past You made? Well we're spending some time with those inner children today, and sharing why we think it's so freaking important to.

It's a reverse #kthottake where we ask the questions and you give the answers! Join us again in Mexico as we welcome INIE's very first special guests: Meghan, Stephanie, Randee, and Ellen. We revisit The Motherhood Paradox from four very different perspectives, spanning from adult mother-child relationships to bugs, communication breakdowns, and vacation lovers. Strap in, folks.

Join us for a very special episode of INIE on the road in Quimixto, Mexico! It's day three and we're marinating in yoga, ice baths, habanero salsa, and shadow work. This #kthottake is our most requested to date - The Motherhood Paradox. Because calling it "mom guilt" doesn't quite cut it...

As the holiday season rapidly approaches, we're having big feels about the power and importance of saying no to save your sanity. Do you lean into the hibernation, or make yourself available for every event? Also- some listener shout-outs and questions answered (is it a #kthottake?? Who knows anymore), and a brief glimpse into what it's like to solo hike as a female.

It's a battle between the law of opposites and the law of opposition this week. This week's parfait starts nice and breezy with navigating Halloween when your kiddos are opposites. Then a hard turn to the duality of opposites vs opposition in marriage, and what it means to face the reality that you've signed up to either grow together or die together. Which one would you rather?

At this point we are seasoned chrysalides (chrysalises?). Maybe gooier than before, but also definitely evolving toward something new and different. From the cone of marriage to Disneyland when your kids are ten years apart, we start a whole lot of discussions. But do we end any of them? Definitely maybe.

We made it to our thirtieth episode babay! Thirty questions, thirty seconds each, and two people who are NOT great at recall under pressure. That, and chatGPT threw us some curveballs. It's a doozy!

We are all bags of goo, preparing to build our wings and something something something. Picture this: it's Friday afternoon after a year-long week, and we are lacking both in brain power and self control. We touch on funny things, our younger years, sexual exploration (+ bad dating stories), cults, nudist colonies... and also our pod club! If you're looking to hear something profound, allow us to recommend literally any podcast where Jon Batiste is a guest. Here, today, you will get goo.

It's #kthottake time, and we're having a chuckle about the $0.01 women's non-oncology health research gets on the dollar. JK. It's not funny. There's endometriosis, ovarian cysts, medical gaslighting, and how to navigate the broken loop of a health system that was not designed for you in mind. We're not saying all hope is lost, but we are saying that women deserve better.

Why are small children such unreliable narrators and how are we meant to stay sane? We start with a near-horror story that then launches a journey from conception to menstruation to adult education and the power of self-knowing. There are anatomy plushies, partially inaccurate movie references, and things you'll never see on our bumper sticker. What a time.Some amazing tools we reference:www.meetrosy.comwww.feelflossy.com

We're having a big week over here, learning life's hard lessons in real time. We talk betrayal, re-learning the foundation of relationships, the power of connection, and we even throw in a hot self-defense tip. Plus, a few pieces of listener feedback! It's thicker than a Double Stuf Oreo.

Okay we know it's more than that. We're hitting big life transitions, having faith when you can't see the road ahead, and a glorious story about the consequences of a stomach virus. It's a real parfait.

We can't tell. We talk about our fight or flight responses (and their inverse), we ask the Black Eyed Peas where the love is, we discuss the power of living love for yourself and those around you... We also exchange tactics on getting our small children to communicate and take adventure bites. It's a real banger. There are tears and laughter and all the usual INIE things. Come peel the onion with us.

We’ve all been told that forgiveness is the key to healing—but what if that’s not always true? This week we’re diving into the messy side of letting go, from performative apologies to the pressure to “be the bigger person.” Can you heal without forgiving? And what happens when forgiveness starts to feel more like self-abandonment than growth? Come get into it with us.Content warning: mention of sexual assault

It's not that we're saying apologies aren't important, but we're also kind of saying apologies don't matter. In this episode, Kimberly and Tori dive into why apologies alone don’t cut it in relationships, parenting, or life. Because intentions are cute, but impact matters. Hone those skills, baby!

Double your pleasure, double your fun, it’s a -DOUBLE- #KTHotTake bap bee doop boop bow. A follow-up to our last health and fitness episode where we also answer Yaz’s question about electrolytes, followed by a hard 180 turn to Janna’s opinion that we contribute to our own suffering. It’s a wild ride. Join us!

To celebrate our 20th episode, we're putting each other in the hot seat for a classic game of 20 Questions! No topic is off limits as we trade truths, dodge lies, and maybe reveal more than we intended (surely no one is surprised). From embarrassing confessions to unexpected insights, this episode gets deep, personal, and outright outrageous. You’ll never hear us the same way again.

Raising children is one long lesson in letting go, which is cute in theory, but feels more like Armageddon in real life. We’re talking trust, boundaries, and finding your footing in the messy middle of control and freedom. It's about parenting, but it's also about all the things

Hoo boy do we have some juicy juice in this episode. Alternative title options:Weirdly Emotionally Stable Men?

We're diving into the delicious chaos of healthy eating for your body type, fitness goals, and real-life impact. From carbs and macros to menopause and mood swings, we unpack why nutrition isn’t one-size-fits-all — and why diet culture can kindly see itself out. Whether you're navigating weight loss, muscle gain, hormone shifts, or just trying to feel good in your skin, we’re breaking it down with zero-guilt laughs, love, and a side of extra salty fries.

In this week's #kthottake we dig into the tension between having the tools and having the time, and why every “yes” quietly says “no” to something else. No neat answers here, just honest talk about tradeoffs, priorities, and trying to do it all without losing it. It's not a breakdown, it's just life.

Turns out one wasn't enough, we needed to dig deeper into our harsh inner voices and unearth more childhood stories. We talk through how we mind-ninja ourselves, and also give out some thank-yous and shout-outs. It's a little bit of this and a little bit of that. It's nothing and everything. Come be kind to yourself with us; it's the cat's pajamas.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming, we're shining a light on the harsh critic that is our inner voice. We unpack why our brains default to being the party pooper and how to shut them down without turning into a toxic positivity robot. There's other stuff too. It's giving full Moming-in-Summer chaos.

It was bound to happen... We accidentally made an episode about our current political climate. What started as between-episode chit-chat became, well, this. No sugar coating this one.

We had more to say (surprise) about adult friendships. We're flipping the script from our last #kthottake to celebrate the beauty of the complexity of adult friendships: more opportunities to be seen and understood, fewer friendships out of obligation, and our personal favorite- the ability to simultaneously support one another and have the time of your life doing it. Oh, there's also some Liver King, Bob Ross, and a handful of other topics that have no business being part of this episode.

What started as a brief Father's Day shout-out for use as an episode intro turned into... well... its own whole-ass episode. There are Fathers- our own fathers, the fathers that father our children, some other fathers (or at least people who may be fathers?), and also not at all fathers. It's relationships, it's childhood, it's our meet-cutes with our husbands... It's all of the things, it's none of the things. You know the drill.

Y'all, it's our tenth episode! Ten very public displays of the things that make us tick, ten hours of subjecting you to topic-pinball, ten opportunities to validate your own experiences and feel a little less alone. So now, ten impromptu questions (not secrets, really) that get to the heart of who we are. We laugh, we cry, we say some weird shit... and we love that you're here for it. Strap in!

This #kthottake is brought to you by the struggles of navigating adult friendships. We’re unpacking the emotional clutter that comes with opening your circle to new friends (or not), setting boundaries, and figuring out who actually deserves your energy. From forced mom-friendships to trusting your gut, we’re diving into what it means to expand and contract without losing yourself. As usual, we have opinions.

A little behind-the-scenes to wet your whistle, then a love letter to the quiet heroes who show up with kindness when it counts. We're getting personal about how having even one person believe in you is the survival secret sauce in this chaotic life. Right words + right time = everything. Let's reframe failure as a plot twist, not the end of the story.

We're diving into one of our favorite spicy topics: being agreeable vs. being authentic. This one's for the people pleasers and the people who've been steamrolled by one. From fake-nice trauma to boundary-setting breakthroughs, we’re getting real about the cost of keeping the peace. Just some hard-earned wisdom from two recovering “nice girls” on a healing journey.

#kthottake: Another round of Not Your Mom's Advice Column, where we peel back the layers on society’s long-standing obsession with attaching human value to a number on a scale. Our horse today is quite high as we discuss a tale as old as time: body image as a social construct shaped by power and profit (womp womp). If you've ever been unhappy when looking in the mirror, this one's for you.

Chappell Roan stirred the pot with her bold take on parenting, and let’s just say- feelings were felt. Including ours. Unfiltered, unapologetic, and a little outrageous (per usual).

We're kicking off our brand-new segment, KT Hot Take, where we dish out unfiltered advice- no PhDs here, but plenty of opinions. In this first edition a listener brings us a complicated dating dilemma, and boy do we have thoughts. Buckle up for hot takes, real talk, and plenty of personal oversharing (as always).

A 12-year rewind to the moment we met — the awkward start of a beautiful mess. Then we dive into anxiety and how we each deal when it hits. From trauma bonding to butterfly taps, we cover a whole different kind of chaos.

Buckle up for part two as we continue chatting through the stuff most people whisper (or avoid entirely) with absolutely no chill. We’re untangling more of life’s chaotic plot twists with the grace of a raccoon in a dumpster fire. **We highly recommend listening to E1 first so you're primed and ready— we pick back up at full speed. Let’s get weird.

We jump into tough topics with no safety net—raw, unfiltered, and unapologetic, but also hilarious. Light trigger warning for abuse as we navigate the heavy stuff without any easy answers. Are you ready for it?
