Thicc & Tired #thecurvygodmothers

This week, Cassidy declares summer “officially boring”—no iconic songs, no blockbuster movies, and definitely no vibes… except for the Sydney Sweeney controversy keeping things interesting. We spiral into where the heck we’re supposed to shop now that department stores are disappearing and racks are emptier than a mall in 2024. JC Penney’s teaming up with Ashley Graham, but will it be the glow-up we need? Curinne wonders if she should start doing real fashion videos for everyday women (you know, not influencers with endless free clothes). We talk sustainable style, influencer overload, and Torrid’s latest fashion crime: the snake & tribal fleece-lined tights. Oh—and we wrap it all up with Meryl Streep showing up in Curinne’s dream. Because why not? It’s hot takes, retail rants, and dream cameos… literally. #Podcast #PlusSizeFashion #RetailRant #AshleyGraham #TorridFail #EverydayStyle #SummerVibes #SydneySweeneyDrama #DepartmentStoreDecline #PlusSizePodcast #BodyPositive #JCpenney #FashionRant #RealTalkPodcast

Fast fashion is wreaking havoc—and not just on your closet seams. This week on Thicc & Tired, we're breaking down how it’s hurting the plus-size space hard, what the Wall Street Journal had to say about the fall of gentle parenting (yes, FAFO is now a parenting method ), and some fun chaos from our own week. Plus: Why fast fashion fails fat bodies Is gentle parenting… over?? And Curinne may or may not have adopted another animal (spoiler: she did not) Unfiltered. Unhinged. Unapologetically plus-size. Tap in.

This week on Thicc & Tired, we kick things off with some spicy bridal drama —a fellow bridal shop made a light-hearted, sarcastic little reel about brides shopping without a wedding date… and let’s just say, the internet did NOT take it well. But honestly? We’re on the boutique’s side. It was cute. It was cutesy. But seriously, have. a. wedding. date. Then we spiral (as always) into pure chaos: Who would be our celebrity hall pass? Why is Cassidy trying to spend hundreds on haunted Halloween decor for her front yard like she’s running a theme park? What even ARE Labuboos, and why do they haunt our dreams?? How did Cassidy’s injury from a few weeks ago turn into a full-blown podcast segment again?? And what’s your celebrity mashup name? Because if we’re not famous yet, we’re manifesting it now. It's unfiltered, it's unhinged, and it’s got just the right amount of petty. Grab a drink, hit play, and join the mess.

This week on Thicc & Tired, it’s 111° degrees out and we’re basically puddles—but the podcast must go on. Cassidy kicks it off with wedding chaos: a vendor friend survives his first-ever Latin hour set AND witnesses actual dancing robots at a reception. Mid-story, a balloon randomly explodes, Cassidy gets so scared she almost pees, and honestly... same. We dive into why 1 in 5 couples cancel their wedding (spoiler: other people suck), and why it's crucial to eat something and drink water before your vows. Then we get real about how social media is shadowbanning plus-size creators, calling out the unfairness of what gets flagged, buried, or erased—especially when thinner creators post the same content without issue. Bikinis, hashtags, and body positivity content are all under fire if you're in a bigger body. Cassidy questions why a size 8 is called a curve model while plus-size creators get silenced, and Curinne’s husband Paul drops in for a surprise cameo just as we spiral into theories on beatboxing (who even starts that?!), a man falling into a 10-foot pit under the Jaws ride, and how Target was Curinne’s favorite job ever. Yes, we cover everything from capitalism to shark attractions to butt sweat. If you're hot, mad, and sick of the algorithm, you’re in the right place.

This week on Thicc & Tired, we’re podcasting from the depths of a full-blown heatwave, the real feel was 105°, the kids were splashing in the pool, and Cassidy and I were out there sweating and spiraling. ☀️ We start with some real wedding-world tea: I assisted one of our stunning brides get ready on her wedding day, Cassidy coordinated like the pro she is, and I had a full breakdown at an Airbnb bathroom that was too small for basic human function. Like… how are you supposed to wipe if your knees are touching the walls?! Then we hit the summer icks hard: rogue chin hairs, sweaty boobs, Birkenstocks with unpainted toes (Cassidy is still recovering), and Cassidy’s bizarre method of taking her bra off like a t-shirt. Who raised her?! We also threw a college bed party for Syd (she’s headed to Hofstra—go Queen!) But like… when did these become a thing? Are we celebrating litrally everything now? Are we doing too much or are we just extra and fabulous? It’s humid, hilarious, and a little unhinged—just the way we like it. Hit play, and bring a towel.

Welcome back to the Thicc & Tired Summer Series — where the humidity is high, my hair has given up, and apparently, I had the mics backwards the entire time. So if it sounds like we're yelling from across the pool... you now know why ️ This week, we’re talking vacation icks, water park stories, and hotel red flags. Cassidy asked: What’s one vacation you’d never do again? Let’s just say it opened a floodgate of "absolutely nots." Splish Splash? Curinne's personal hell. Cassidy? Not here for summer in general. It’s hot, sticky, and someone’s always sweating through their clothes. We also talk nail salon etiquette, AGAIN, and yes—(Curinne) fully broke the “don’t talk rule” because she saw someone she knew. Irony, thy name is podcast content. ‍♀️ From swampy summers to weird hotel vibes, this episode is basically a group therapy session for people who hate group vacations. Tune in, stay dry, and keep your mic the right way, babes.

This week on Thicc & Tired, we’re splashing into our Summer Series with unfiltered vibes and some strong opinions, starting with Cassidy’s violent hatred of mayonnaise. Yes, really. From there, it only gets weirder. We dive into the baby podcast trend (Curinne made AI baby versions of both of us and they’re terrifyingly cute), plus a trip down memory lane with our childhood comfort quirks. Cassidy rocks herself to sleep and Curinne… rubs her nose like she’s clocking out emotionally. We debate whether our lives would make good reality TV (spoiler: one would be chaos, the other would not be), and we argue over makeup at work, bathroom etiquette, and the proper pronunciation of “women.” Curinne gives Cassidy a crash course and you already know how that turned out.. It’s poolside energy, unfiltered friendship, and unhinged stories as always. ️

Welcome to the Thicc & Tired Summer Series, now coming to you poolside from Curinne’s backyard, where the vibes are hot and the opinions are hotter. ☀️ This week, we’re talking about the comeback of the decade: Hailey Page is back, and we’re hoping to see her new line in the shop by August! Cue the champagne and the bridal squeals.But don’t worry, the chaos doesn’t stop there. We also deep-dive into the new Skims bra that comes with built-in nipple piercings (yes… really), and Curinne shares how her latest Torrid haul gave big SHEIN energy and not in a good way.Then we get real about friendships: the ones who check in vs. the ones who only show up when they need something. Getting older means realizing not everyone is a real friend and we’re tired of pretending. Oh, and a PSA for the workplace: stop texting “K.” It’s not chill. It’s not professional. It’s passive-aggressive and we hate it. Tune in for bridal joy, questionable bras, fake friends, and the most extra poolside energy we’ve ever recorded. ️

This week on Thicc & Tired, Cassidy is in a mood and she’s coming for… our palm trees. Apparently, storing them is “bougie,” but she also can’t stop ranting about Facebook mom groups, so here we are. ️ We dive into: Brides asking other brides things they should 100% be asking their vendors Moms posting “Should I go to the ER?” when the kid is clearly on fire “Are We Dating the Same Guy?” and the never-ending red flag parade Spoiler alert: Yes girl, the leopard still has spots Plus: Contractors and husbands doubting every home design decision ever (until it looks fabulous) Nail salon etiquette 101 — stop yelling on your phone, Susan Why salons need to do better for plus-size clients (get. bigger. chairs.) Gen Z’s fear of driving — is it soft parenting or survival instinct? And yes… we talk about the PDiddy bombshells, Britney, Amanda, and how women in the spotlight are treated like trash. We laughed, we ranted, we spiritually exfoliated.Tap play, babes. This one’s got claws. ️

This week on Thicc & Tired… things got real.Like nipples-pierced, spirits-visited, and crying-on-air kind of real. We kicked things off with body mods — Curinne’s 30th birthday nipple piercing, Cassidy’s tattooed but earring free mystery (you’ll wanna hear her explanation). Then Cassidy gets pulled over but plays the “emotional woman card” and gets let off ...shoutout to that cop. We spiral into TikTok thirst traps stitched with the Yellowstone National Park (yes, really), and theories about people who’ve never broken a bone. Are they magical? Genetically blessed? Or is TikTok just bored? ✨ That leads us into ghosts, guardian angels, and whether psychic energy is real or religiously frowned upon. Curinne opens up about a bad psychic experience, and the girls phone a friend, AKA Curinne’s sister, to weigh in on the spiritual vs. religious debate. We close it out with a bridal quiz, chaotic opinions, and an emotional moment that broke Curinne down after getting yet another call dragging our alterations process.Sometimes people just don’t listen… and it’s a lot. This one’s deep, vulnerable, and full of wild turns. Hit play.You’ll laugh, you might cry, and you’ll definitely feel seen.

This week on Thicc & Tired… things went off the rails fast. Curinne dug up some viral TikTok gold, and let’s just say—front to back, back to front, and split wiping are now burned into Cassidy’s brain forever. We also discuss: Gianna’s odd talent for making funeral photo boards Curinne’s emotional detachment flex (iconic, honestly) Cassidy’s never-ending list of weird brags Oh—and Curinne’s therapist disappeared. And the replacement? Wanted Bible study and workbook homework. Therapy, but make it culty. We played this or that: What would you walk down the aisle to Who Let the Dogs Out or MMMBop? Reception at Costco or IKEA? The possibilities are endless. Also: we have thoughts on the Met Gala… and no one is safe. Unfiltered, unpredictable, and 100% Thicc & Tired.Tap play, if you dare.

  WEDDING REGISTRIES… have officially lost their minds. From $800 espresso machines to designer furniture, we’re breaking down why gift expectations have gotten completely out of control — and why it’s okay to say "girl, be serious." In this episode of Thicc & Tired, we also kick off our brand new Dream Dress Project! Stefanie, our first nominated bride, shares her story of perseverance, finds the dress of her dreams, and walks away with it for FREE. Also in this chaotic ride: Influencers drowning in free stuff — and Curinne wants to know: where does it all go? The unread notifications debate no one asked for (but Cassidy’s amped). Content creators vs real wedding pros — don’t skip the photographer, & Videographer people! And that viral TikTok bride who blasted her bridal shop over missing skirt loops… right or wrong? It’s gift registry drama, bridal bliss, and buzzer abuse — and we’re just getting started.Subscribe for weekly episodes, real bride moments, and plenty of unfiltered opinions. ️  

This week on Thicc & Tired, we’re asking the real questions — like why men get hotter with age and women just get criticism. We dive into the unfair beauty double standard, dating app drama (yes, women are getting banned for not answering enough dudes — what year is it?!), and what we actually do to relax... if you can even call it that. Then it’s wedding time: bridesmaids, chill out — it’s not your day. And can we please start giving Mother of the Brides the flowers they deserve?! They should be serving looks, not sitting quietly in beige. Plus, Curinne’s house officially turned into a Baldwin-level circus — but swap out the fame for teens and and our four legged besties.  It’s messy, it’s hilarious, it’s too real. Tap play, babes.✨

This week on Thicc & Tired, we’re spiraling through glitter, guilt trips, and galactic nonsense. We talk about “yes days” for kids (cute or chaos?), why parents are treating holidays like full-blown Broadway productions (do we really need a visit from the Leprechaun and Cupid?), and how TikTok trends are hijacking weddings—surprise! You’re gown shopping! We also dive into the TV chaos, the Baldwin circus, and the all-women space trip that somehow feels less empowering and more… PR stunt? Meanwhile, Cassidy’s hanging on by a thread, absolutely exhausted and questioning humanity… And just when we’re about to float away into the absurd, Curinne drags us back to Earth—with a rant about another bridal store running their mouth. We said what we said. Tune in. It’s messy, it’s unfiltered, it’s Thicc & Tired—and we’re thiccer and tireder than ever.

This week on Thicc & Tired, we’re peeling back the layers—of controversy, of industry chaos, and of our pajamas ️ We unpack the drama surrounding Remi Bader’s weight loss and the relentless scrutiny plus-size women face no matter what they do Then things get painfully personal as Curinne’s husband karate-chops his way into a broken knuckle proving midlife crises are alive and well. But the real hit? Tariffs. Yup, bridal tariffs are on the rise and shaking up the industry in ways brides NEED to know. Brides, don’t say we didn’t warn you! ‍♀️⚠️ And finally… bedtime confessions Cassidy’s rocking a stained tee from 2008 while Curinne floats into bed like a powdered princess ✨ It’s chaos, couture, and cotton blends. Hit play, babes

First up, we’re calling out the word “flattering” and why it’s not the compliment people think it is — especially in the plus-size community. Brides, your dress should make you feel like a million bucks, not just check boxes for what other people think you should wear. The Curvy Godmothers then get into why it’s so important to pick up your gown when it arrives. After the recent Long Island fires, we’re extra serious — your dress is safer with you than in any shop. (We’ve learned the hard way…Including that one time during COVID when a squirrel broke into our old store and caused $85k in damage. Yep, a squirrel. Also on the docket: smoking-GROSS, why our husbands don’t even blink when we say “I saw something on the Ring camera,” and a little throwback chat on the wild beauty trends from the ’90s and early 2000s. Skinny brows, blue eyeliner, no makeup brushes… it’s giving trauma. It’s a little bit bridal, a little bit unhinged, and 100% us.

Cassidy is fresh off a wisdom tooth extraction and struggling to speak—but that didn’t stop us from diving into another episode of Thicc & Tired ️ We’re getting real about the bridal industry and asking the hard questions:‍♀️ Why are plus-size brides still being singled out with separate gown designs instead of having one inclusive collection for all? Why do so many wedding vendors still refuse to showcase plus-size representation in their ads and social media? And of course, we had to talk about TLC’s new polyamorous relationship show—are they expanding narratives or just stirring the drama pot? It's TLC so one never knows... Come for the rants, stay for the laughs…and maybe a surprise delivery? Because Panera sent us TWO giant loaves of bread. Is this our first unofficial sponsorship??
