WE’RE BACK BETCHESSeason 2 is here! (Finally)To be totally honest we recorded this episode over a year ago and it has been sitting in our files since then. BUT it is still super relevant because we will never stop working on getting over shit! In this episode we talk about how we get over shit (or don’t) when we’ve had conflicts with friends, family, and in relationships. We also cover what we do when getting caught in the middle of other people’s conflicts.Got any examples of how you’ve gotten over shit (or haven’t)? Share with us! Email us at [email protected] and we might share your story anonymously in a future episode.

It’s our final episode of season 1! What better way to celebrate than to talk about getting closure? Closure is a feeling we want when relationships and situationships end. It helps us to move on, but it’s not always easy to get. Sometimes (in Pascale’s first story) it can take YEARS to feel it. Other times, we’ve had to learn from our own mistakes on how to end situationships so that the other person feels closure.

Why is Reva crashing her friend’s family holiday celebration? And why is her family trespassing for a holiday? This is an episode that we recorded in early January, right after the holidays when they were fresh in our minds.  We chat about what kinds of holidays our family’s celebrate and the traditions that come with it. Which holidays are “for the friends” vs “for the fam”. And why we hate when a partner doesn’t “believe” in Valentine's Day.

What’s the protocol when you meet your significant other's parents? Do you bring them a gift? Honestly, we are not sure.  In this episode we cover times we’ve met our partners’ family and how that went. How it felt when their family was so different from our own, and what happened when conversations got political. We give some useful tips on how to prep for the meetup, and give an honest take on how important it is to meet the parents!

It is certainly true that the word “chivalry” has a different meaning today than when it was used to define a knight's social code. But when people say “chivalry is dead” now, it’s usually used as commentary on how a man will act towards others, especially someone they are dating. We wanted to ask ourselves if we felt this phrase was true based on our experience. We chat about times chivalrous deeds have meant a lot to us and times where they made us uncomfortable and gave us the “ick”. Connect with us at [email protected] and on Insta @quarterlifecareless

LET’S GET TRASHED! Or not? Drinking can feel totally different out of college, and that’s ok! We cover how important it is to be thoughtful about drinking habits as your body ages, and what alternatives to drinking there might be. We also reminisce about the times alcohol caused us to do embarrassing and funny things. Our secrets are coming out here… Get in touch with us at [email protected] or on Insta @quarterlifecareless

Pascale shares a big life update that inspired this episode about committing to a relationship. We talk about what exclusivity means to us and where the boundaries lie. We revisit past relationships of ours and what types of commitment they led to. What worked and didn’t work for us? How did we know we were ready to commit to that person?

Beauty standards can feel impossible to reach, especially when the rules of fashion change every year. In this episode we tell you about our experience embracing our own beauty and style regardless of the standards in place. We share stories of times we’ve faced adversity from being our unique selves and how we’ve learned to just not give a fuck!  P.S. Be ready to take notes as we give recs on which hair products we love for our curls. Get in touch with us at [email protected] and on instagram @quarterlifecareless

Experience Portugal and Spain with us in this retelling of our trip to our friend's wedding.  In true oblivious tourist fashion, some highlights include getting shushed at the spa, going off at the wrong train stop, and accidentally crashing a funeral. We have recs on food and fun in Lisbon, Nazare, Valencia, and Barcelona. We also cover what it’s like traveling with a friend, and give plenty of travel tips and tricks throughout the episode.

How quickly should you expect a text back from your situationship? We certainly don’t agree on this, but we do agree that communicating within a situationship can feel overwhelming.  People have differing opinions on how often to text, when calls are appropriate, and what platforms are best to chat on. Especially for a new situationship, establishing healthy communication isn’t always easy right off the bat. In this episode we share challenges we’ve had communicating with our past situationships and how that’s helped us pick out red flags sooner rather than later.
