    Are We Dating The Same Guy?

    This week, we’re diving into the infamous “Are We Dating the Same Guy?” Facebook pages—and whew, do we have thoughts. Do we agree with the original intention of these pages? Absolutely. Women looking out for women, sharing information to stay safe, and avoiding being played or put in dangerous situations? Yes. Always yes. But do we agree with turning these spaces into places for public shaming, rumors, or slander? Not so much. We get real about where the line is, how it’s being crossed, and what accountability should actually look like. Plus—Chan drops some HUGE personal news, so you’ll definitely want to stick around for that 👀 As always, this is an honest, unfiltered conversation with strong opinions, a few laughs, and some real talk that needed to be said.

    The Good Girl Era

    This week, we’re flipping the script on what it really means to be in our Good Girl / Soft Girl Era—and trust us, it’s not all sundresses and silence. We dive into the power of softness as women: embracing femininity, surrendering control in the right spaces, and still being bold, vocal, and in charge of our needs. We talk about dominance and submission in the bedroom, the desire to be taken care of, and the trust it takes to lean into that. We're also unpacking what traditional female traits look like today—with a modern twist. Can you be soft and strong? Can you be submissive but still powerful? Oh yes, you can. This episode is all about having a voice, knowing what we want, practicing self-love, and redefining what being a “good girl” actually means. Spoiler: she’s confident, sexy, and doing things her way.

    Becoming Jennie: Reclaiming Her Body, Her Voice, Her Life

    This week, we’re getting real (and a little rebellious) with our guest Jennie — who left the church and an 18-year marriage like it was a bad group chat and never looked back. She takes us through her journey of shedding shame, realizing her body wasn’t just for making casseroles and babies, and figuring out who she actually is outside of religion and marriage. We talk about the awkward (and sometimes hilarious) parts of finding yourself sexually after years of repression, the therapy sessions that cracked her wide open, and the people who showed up when she found herself again. Jennie opens up about rebuilding from scratch — with no blueprint, but plenty of courage — and learning to be unapologetically proud of the woman she’s become. This episode is raw, funny, honest, and perfect for anyone who's ever had a moment of “WTF am I doing with my life?” and needed to hear, “You’re not alone — and you’ve got this.” Most importantly, Jennie shares how she learned to be proud of the woman she is today — stronger, wiser, and finally living life on her own terms. We are so proud of you girl and so happy to have a new woman to add to the friend list! Want to talk to Jennie about making all of your hair dreams come true?
