Cousin Closet with Maddy and Emily

Welcome back to another week in the closet. <3Emily is popping in–fashionably late, the full moon has been full mooning, and we are overwhelmed–for her first solo episode while Maddy is... definitely not in Montana. She's taking us through the ins and outs of bodywork and introducing us to her favorite modality: Craniosacral Therapy. Of course, she first goes through her laundry list and gives an update on her San Diego dating life, including her current stance on PDA. All while sparkling in a sequin mini skirt layered over white granny panties. Get into your body and get ready to journey all the way from your head to your sacrum.

Welcome back to another week of Cousin Closet chaos! Maddy is taking on the show's first solo episode to give us part two of unpacking her Mormon mission. If you haven’t listened to part one of this episode, “My Mormon Mission”, go back and listen! Or listen after? Whatever order you want, angels! Buckle up for a range of stories, feelings, thoughts, and catastrophes as she sheds more light on what sticks out to her from her experiences as a Mormon missionary ten years ago. She talks about finding her inner voice, toxic positivity, “exact obedience”, accidentally getting horny when you shouldn’t be, and much more. Amen.

Hi cousins, and welcome to church! This week, Sister Thompson and la Hermana Gozo are dressed for duality, and we are diving deep into something we've never unpacked before: Maddy's Mormon mission.We cover the full context — Mormonism 101, what a mission actually is, how it works, who goes, who pays for it (you do, lol), worthiness, rule books that read like a pharmaceutical ads, and why Maddy ended up in the one place she didn’t want to go instead of the bottom of Patagonia.This is only the beginning; next week, she’s going to get into the ins and outs, going solo for the first time. For now, here is part one.Love you, Elders and sisters — adios! 

Hi cousins! This week, the theme is transformation — and we mean that in every sense of the word.We kick things off with Emily's dating update (candidate number two and his shirt-off confidence. We are rooting for her). Maddy debuts a handmade top she's been saving for years, and Emily transforms from six-months-pregnant-looking to snatched, courtesy of a coffee enema. You're welcome.Then we get into the main event: the mushroom trip. Back in November, Emily did psilocybin for the first time with Maddy, and learned shrooms are definitely not marijuana's cousin. They unpack the whole thing — purging, visuals, transformation, seeing the devil, etc., and what all of it had to say about sexuality, control, family wounds, and healing. They also talk about Maddy's Saturday trip and meeting a Lebanese artist at a garage sale who was basically sent from the universe. We can't explain it. Just listen.Next week's theme: duality. See you there. Enjoy!!Marwan's work: https://marwannahle.com/

Hi cousins! We’re back and coming in HOT with a breakdown of—you guessed it—the Enneagram. Also, we are officially on Apple Podcasts… but did just find out it might be in Dutch?? We have questions.We jump in with outfit breakdowns inspired by “April showers bring May flowers,” and yes, we talk about our tits yet again. Maddy shares her desire to get her nipple pierced, but she’s concerned about the recovery time—something Emily will never understand as a proud member of the itty bitty titty committee.As always, it’s a mix of chaos, vulnerability, and the kind of conversations that make you feel like part of our family.

This week Maddy and Emily are back with a full laundry list of things they've been holding in — and honestly, the girls had to dish.We're talking: outfit breakdowns (Maddy reclaiming the corset she wore to Emily's Bachelorette party and Emily channeling a sexy version of the iconic red Sleepover dress), the impossible engineering of modern chip bags, why you need to watch Younger RIGHT NOW, and Emily's adventures in decoding the needs of her massage therapy clients.We also get into Emily's dating era, Maddy's realizations about her own era journey, and the very real grief and joy of coming into yourself in your 30s. Oh, and Emily has an announcement: she is the happiest she has ever been in her life. And we are BEAMING for her. Enjoy!!
