I Did It First

Ana and Riley sit down with Natalia, a nurse practitioner from SoCo Plastic Surgery, to talk all things aesthetics. From fillers to facials, and what it actually takes to get into the industry. From her journey to becoming an NP to behind-the-scenes truths about beauty treatments, nothing’s off limits.

We went to Coachella for the FIRST time… and it was not what we expected.. in the best way. From walking miles in the desert to the unreal energy of the crowd, we’re spilling everything..what surprised us, what we’d do differently, and what made the whole trip unforgettable. Also… can we talk about Justin Bieber?! Because that moment alone made the entire festival worth it.

This episode is a little chaotic. Riley gives away the Kindle her ex-boyfriend bought her (goodbye emotional baggage), & shared her recent dreams fighting him?? Riley and Ana debrief Riley’s San Diego weekend that ended with one of her best friends accidentally knocking her teeth out during a drunk mishap. Just another normal week for us.

This week we spiral (naturally) into Lenny Kravitz lore, soft-launch Riley’s Love Island era, and then pivot into something deeper: why we quit when we’re not instantly good at something.

In this episode, Ana and Riley start off unpacking the chaos, obsession, and red flags in the new Wuthering Heights movie — and somehow that spirals into a much bigger conversation about relationships, power, and sabotage. From “concern” that’s actually control to ambition-killing boyfriends disguised as supportive partners, we break down how the wrong relationship can quietly derail your growth.

Getting flown out after two weeks, dating after a breakup, and the question everyone avoids—can guys and girls really be just friends? Riley and Ana break it all down in this no-filter episode

Ana and Riley get real about the power of breaking up early instead of staying too long. Riley opens up about choosing peace over potential, recognizing red flags, and learning that self-respect sometimes means walking away. They dive into lifestyle mismatches, emotional boundaries, family dynamics, and why love shouldn’t feel draining or confusing. This conversation is a reminder that you’re not here to fix someone—and that you don’t need a dramatic reason to leave a relationship that no longer aligns with who you are becoming. If you’ve been questioning your relationship, this episode is your sign to choose yourself.

Riley opens up about ending a relationship and choosing to start the new year anxiety-free. Together, we walk through an honest end-of-year life audit—what worked, what didn’t, and what we’re leaving behind. We also talk intentional planning: building your calendar on offense (so you can finally say no without guilt), setting one bold Misogi goal for the year, creating mini adventures, and choosing one winning habit each quarter. If you’re ready to reset and move into the new year with intention instead of anxiety—this episode is for you.

From a San Diego getaway to chasing pop-up bagels, & unexpected stomach bugs — this episode covers it all. Riley and Ana unpack the idea of the “villain era” and why it’s often just what happens when you stop people-pleasing, protect your peace, and finally say no. Growth isn’t always pretty, but it is powerful.

Ana and Riley are back with full Christmas chaos energy.

Spent Ana’s birthday in New York and it was iconic starting with the best meal of my life at omakase, to Danny & Coop’s Philly cheesesteak and Apollo Bagels because obviously we were on a food tour. TSA tried to humble us when Hailey’s yogurt triggered a full security hold-up, and then somehow ended up in a confrontation at Starbucks with Kelly.. because… of course we did.

Inn this episode we chat about things we have been conditioned to celebrate that are actually total bs  glorifying “being busy” to extreme diet culture and the pressure to constantly self-optimize.

From crying in the shower to canceling everything just to breathe, we’re breaking down the pressure to be “on” all the time and how we’re learning to slow down without forfeiting it all..  

We said we wanted to heal. To glow up. So why are we still hanging with people who drain us, environments that suffocate us, and in comfort zones disguised as cages that sabotage our future selves? Healing is cute until you realize it means changing everything. Today we’re getting brutally honest about how the biggest obstacle to your glow up… might actually be you.  

We are discussing the blurry line between actual growth and just straight-up avoiding people. Is it self-care… or isolation? Are we setting boundaries, or building walls? And most importantly, how do you know when you’re healing vs. hiding?

Have you ever shared your goals with a friend or family member and instantly regretted it? That’s because not everyone watching wants you to win. Not everyone is praying for you, some are just preying on you. Quiet ambition. Silent moves. Loud results.  

We’re not crazy. We just saw the way your tone changed, your story changed, and your energy changed… all in one text. That’s not paranoia. That’s pattern recognition. This episode is for the hyper-aware girls who notice everything. We notice when the energy shifts, the weird tone, the unspoken tension…and then get called crazy for connecting the dots.

Mel Robbins believes let them walk away... let them think what they want... let them go is always the answer. But what if “letting them” actually means “letting them walk all over you?” There’s a fine line between letting people be who they are before it affects standing up for who YOU are and why “Let Them have It” might be the answer!  

A “hoe era” isn’t just about body count. It's ENERGY. Saying yes to what lights us up and f-that to what drains us. No one’s son is involved. Just confidence, perfect skin & dressing like the main character even if it’s just a trip to Trader Joe’s. Thriving in your hoe era without necessarily sleeping around. Both the literal and the energetic versions are equally iconic, valid, and necessary.

What if the key to being happy was just making choices you are sure of instead of always saying “that’s fine.” Think what if success in relationships to career moves, literally just depended on understanding yourself? Ana and Riley discuss why knowing your likes and dislikes…from hating loud places to your go-to coffee order is the secret.  

Want to be more attractive, magnetic, delulu level irresistible?? What if we told you the hottest thing about you isn’t your face. Say thank you (and mean it) and let your energy do the flirting for you. Gratitude is the real glow-up.

Breaking generational trauma is not a one-time thing, it’s 1000 tiny decisions you make every day. Today we talk about the emotional weight of generational trauma and what it really means to break the cycle and realizing that healing doesn’t mean you hate them, you're just choosing not to let their pain define your future. From unlearning toxic behaviors to healing wounds that weren’t ours to begin with, we discuss the messy, raw, and courageous work of rewriting our family legacies. The pain didn’t start with you, but the healing can.  

Serving Botox realness and shutting down the stigma around cosmetic work. The only thing getting lifted is our confidence.
