Almost Wise

In this episode, we’re talking about something that feels both so far away and weirdly close at the same time: the kind of parents we think we’ll become…We discuss about the traits from our own parents we’d want to carry forward, and the ones we’re not so sure about. the kind of childhood we’d want to create, the personalities we imagine our future kids having, and how much of us is inevitably going to show up in the way we raise them!We love to think about how our kids would actually be like together… would they be best friends or complete chaos? what would family holidays look like? and would we even all be raising them in the same place?Soooo… what kind of parent do you think you’ll be? and would your future kids get along with ours?!

In this episode, we’re talking about something that almost everyone questions at some point: how the f*ck does one actually find a good boyfriend?!? we kick things off with a fun little “he’s a 10, but…” rapid fire, and then get into the real stuff.Nina and Nat share what it’s actually been like finding themselves in long-term relationships, how they knew, how it happened, and what made this relationship feel different from everything before. Isabella reflects on her past experiences… what’s worked, what really hasn’t, and the patterns you only see once you’re out of them.It’s a mix of stories, lessons, and a bit of us still figuring it out in real time.Sooooo… where do you actually find a good boyfriend? and how do you know when he’s actually the right one?

in this episode, we’re talking about something that shaped all of us in very different ways: the schools we grew up in.we start with sharing our completely different experiences, from private school to public school to international school, and how those environments actually felt from the inside.then we get into: - the stereotypes around private vs public school (and what’s actually true)- some very out-of-touch wealth stories- the assumptions people make about you based on where you went to school - how those environments shaped our personalities and perspectives- and whether we’d want the same for our future kidswhich school environment did you grow up in? And would you choose the same for your kids? We are curious to hear <3

In this episode, we’re talking about cheating and whether we think a relationship can actually survive it.We start with our own experiences, from being cheated on to how it’s shaped the way we see trust and love.Then we get into:– what actually counts as cheating (and how blurry it is)– why people cheat even when they’re “in love”– what it feels like to find out– why some people stay and others leave– whether trust can ever really come back– and the difference between a one-time mistake vs a patternVery honest, very opinionated, and definitely not black and white! We hope you enjoy <3

In this episode we’re basically spiraling about the future a little bit... but in a fun way!We get into what we’re actually thinking career wise, if influencing is something we see ourselves doing forever or if we have a different plan, and what building a life outside of social media could even look like.We also talk about where we see ourselves living next… Are we staying in amsterdam forever? Are we moving? Are we randomly ending up in the cayman islands? Truly who knows.We get into marriage, kids, and all the things no one really has clear answers on, like if we’d share our kids on social media, how being far from family would work when having kids, and what kind of life we actually want to build.Tt’s very much one of those conversations where you realize you don’t have it all figured out… but maybe no one does!!

In this episode we’re talking about confidence, not as something you either have or don’t, but as something you build, practice, lose, and rebuild again. We get into that classic question of “what makes someone confident?” and why the answer is way less about the way you look than we’ve been told. We talk about the phases where we were deeply self-conscious, the versions of confidence we kind of faked before we actually felt it, and the moments where our self-esteem was at its lowest (which, honestly, shaped us the most).We also get into the habits and boundaries that slowly built real self-worth, the insecurities we’re still working through, and what it actually costs to reinvent yourself and show up differently.Basically, this episode is us figuring out what confidence really looks like when you stop trying to seem confident… and start becoming it. Wherever you're listening to this, we hope you enjoy!

In this episode we get into a question that feels simple but somehow isn’t at all: are we taking our husband’s last name… and what does marriage actually mean to us?We start talking about the relationships we grew up around and how much they’ve quietly shaped what we think a “good” marriage looks like. And then it kind of spirals (in the best way) into expectations, identity, independence, and all the things no one really explains to you when you’re younger.We talk about the first time we actually thought about changing our last name and why it suddenly feels like it carries so much more weight than just paperwork. We also get into the parts people don’t always say out loud: the fears around marriage, the financial reality of building a life with someone, and how independence fits into something that’s meant to be forever.Basically, this episode is us trying to figure out what marriage actually means to us, now: not what we were taught, not what we see online, but what actually feels right. Wherever you're listening to this, we hope you enjoy!

In this episode, we’re opening up about the things we’ve never talked about online. The stories behind our public personas, the parts of our lives that felt too raw, too real, or too sacred to share until now.We share:• Bells’ experience with grief arriving too early, learning how to process loss and the emotions that come with it.• Nat’s journey with endometriosis, and how it reshaped her relationship with her body, fertility, and future life plans.• Karina’s experience with depression and self harm, and why she's never felt able to talk about it publicly before.We talk about how these experiences shaped who we've become, and why learning to speak up and ask for help was the most important step we took.If you’ve ever felt alone in something you didn’t know how to talk about, this episode is for you.Trigger warning: This episode discusses grief, self harm, depression, and medical topics. Please listen with care.

In this episode, we talk about the career panic that seems to hit everyone in their twenties… and why it might actually be normal.We reflect on the jobs we’ve already lived through that people would never guess, the pressure of choosing a life direction way too young, and the career paths we imagined at 18 versus what actually happened. We share the moments we realised something wasn’t our dream after all, and the fear of building a future on work that feels unpredictable.We also talk honestly about the guilt of wanting both stability and creativity, the reality of working with your best friends, and the future questions we don’t have answers to yet, from money and privacy to kids, maternity leave, and more.This episode is about the comfort of realising that almost everyone in their twenties is probably going through the same crisis, and that you’re not alone for feeling that way.

In this episode, we talk about the parts of social media and influencing that don’t make it online.We open up about the side of this job people assume we love, but that actually drains us. The quiet comparison we wish we didn’t play. The pressure of knowing your worth can start to feel measured in numbers. And the tension between the posts we want to make and the ones the algorithm rewards.We talk honestly about:– The gap between how our lives look online and how they feel in private– The mental cost of being “on” all the time– The moments that made us question whether this career is actually fulfilling– What people think they know about being an influencer vs. what’s actually trueWe can’t wait to hear what you think!

In this episode, we’re unpacking the evolution of our dating lives, from the relationships we chose in our early twenties to the standards we carry now. We talk about the exes who shaped us, the behaviours we once romanticised, and the moments where attraction stopped being about chaos and started being about peace.We reflect on:– Who we were when we met certain exes– What we tolerated then vs. what we would never accept now– The behaviours we once called “romantic” (and now gently cringe at)– How friendship, career, and confidence reshaped our taste– What attraction actually means at 28 compared to 22If you’ve ever looked back at an old relationship and thought “I would never choose that now” — this one’s for you.

In this first episode, we take you inside the friendship that started it all. We talk about how we met (the unfiltered version), the first impressions that didn’t age well, and the private conversations that shaped our bond.From the dynamic each of us brings to the friendship to one story that captures our energy better than any introduction ever could, this episode is about female friendship in its realest form: messy, surprising, grounding, and deeply familiar.If you’ve ever listened to a group of girls talk and thought, this feels like home, welcome.
