Spillin' the Tea

In this personal episode, Liz steps into the spotlight to share the layered story behind the mic. From growing up as a military kid constantly redefining “home,” to juggling life as a wife, mom, stage manager, and IT specialist, she unpacks the winding path that shaped her identity. With honesty and grit, she opens up about her journey to sobriety after struggling with painkiller addiction, and what it took to rebuild her life from the inside out.Between school drop-offs, tech troubleshooting, and late-night reality TV binges, she reflects on the tension between ambition and the everyday grind - finding meaning in the mundane while embracing her Sagittarius spirit and runner’s mindset. It’s a story about resilience, reinvention, and learning to laugh (often with a Diet Coke in hand) while keeping up with both real life and reality TV drama.

Y’all… this week we are diving into one of the most iconic, confusing, and emotional celebrity sagas of our lifetime: Britney Spears. From early 2000s superstardom to the conservatorship that shocked the world, we’re unpacking the facts, the conspiracies, and the fandom that refused to stay quiet.Crack open an Alani (or something stronger), because this one gets deep, messy, and a little unhinged—in true Spillin’ the Tea fashion.

This week, your two favorite Southern besties dive headfirst into the glittery, confusing, and sometimes downright shady world of pyramid schemes and multi-level marketing (MLMs). From Facebook “hey girl!” messages to leggings that rip mid-squat, we’re unpacking it ALL.We break down the difference between pyramid schemes vs. MLMs (yes, there is a difference… technically...), share real-life stories, and spill some serious tea on companies like It Works, Herbalife, and LuLaRoe.

Slip on your factory apron and dim the lights - this week we’re diving into a glow-up that turned deadly.In Glow Up Gone Wrong, we’re telling the haunting, infuriating, and unbelievably important story of the Radium Girls; the young women who were hired to paint watch dials with luminous paint… and were told it was perfectly safe. Spoiler: it was not.From “lip, dip, paint” to corporate cover-ups, we unpack how these glowing girls lit up more than clock faces, they sparked one of the biggest workplace safety battles in American history. It’s equal parts girl gang resilience, Gilded Age greed, and courtroom drama that will have you yelling at your speakers.It’s glamorous. It’s grim. It glows in the dark.And trust us, this shine comes with a warning label.

Pop open an Alani, fluff that hair, and check your lipstick in the rearview because we’re yanking back the rhinestone curtain and putting Whitney center stage (her favorite spot).This week, it’s all about our resident Leo queen: the fire, the flair, the main-character monologues, and the heart-of-gold hustle that makes Whitney, Whitney. We’re spilling stories, exposing origin myths, and decoding the cosmic chaos that fuels her sparkle (and occasional dramatics).Expect big laughs, bold confessions, a little self-roast, and a lot of “ohhhh, that explains so much.” You’ll leave knowing exactly what makes her roar and why we wouldn’t have her any other way.

This week on Spilling the Tea, your two Nashville besties dive into one of the most disturbing true crime cases in American history: Ed Gein, the man who inspired horror icons like Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs.But here’s the thing — Netflix and pop culture love to paint him as this unstoppable, bloodthirsty monster… and the truth is way more complicated (and somehow, even creepier).We’re breaking down what really happened vs what’s been exaggerated for entertainment and while we’re unpacking the “monster,” we also have to ask — why are we so obsessed with him? Why do we binge this stuff in the dark like it’s self-care? And… are we the true monsters for turning real tragedy into entertainment?Expect spooky details, lots of side tangents (because we cannot stay focused), and the kind of existential dread that only true crime can serve.

This week, Whitney and Liz attempt to stay on topic… and absolutely do not. We kick things off by spiraling about Nashville crime rates “skyrocketing” (according to vibes, TikTok, and our own anxiety), and whether we should be concerned or just stop scrolling The Scoop.From there, we dip our toes into true crime cases in Nashville...the eerie kind that make you double-check your locks but still somehow keep listening. Just enough detail to make you say, “Wait… WHAT?”Naturally, this leads to ghost stories (because Nashville is haunted, we will not be taking questions), several ADHD-powered detours that make sense eventually (kind of) and a sudden reminder that we are in our healthy era (physically, emotionally, spiritually… sometimes mentally). Brace yourselves for our dark humor and sudden side convos that hijack the episode.If you love true crime, ghost stories, unhinged commentary, and listening to two gals get off track in real time, this episode is for you.
