Have you ever felt the sting of betrayal from someone you thought was a friend? Nikki and I pull up a barstool and get real about the fake friends who've crossed our paths, sharing not just our own stories, but also those from you, our listeners. From being used for connections to witnessing children navigate the minefield of schoolyard friendships, we peel back the layers on what makes these relationships so complex and, quite frankly, exhausting.

As our glasses clink, we don’t just stop at personal stories; we consider the bigger picture. Editing a podcast can be as tricky as discerning true friends from the fake ones, and teamwork – in life as in our show – proves to be a saving grace. The dynamics of friendships morph as we evolve from childhood to adulthood, and we underscore the importance of intuition and boundaries in ensuring these bonds enrich, rather than deplete, us.

In the heart of our conversation, we recognize the emotional drain of one-sided relationships, explore the emotional toll of fake friendships, and offer wisdom on identifying true companionship. We talk about the strength it takes to maintain connections despite distance and change, and remember those friends who've shown their true colors in times of crisis. Finally, we wrap up with an invitation: join the discussion on social media, and let's continue to uncover the essence of genuine relationships together.

Have you ever felt the urge to just chuck your phone into a lake and live in the moment? Well, Carly, our birthday guest and Jackson's sweetheart, gets real about her love-hate relationship with social media. Tune in as she bares her soul about the pressure cooker of online personas and the toll it takes on her sense of self. We laugh, we commiserate, and we look back on how our generation's memory-keeping ways on the internet differ vastly from the curated galleries of today's youth. Carly's candid sharing of a personal, eye-opening story also serves as a crucial reminder about the often-overlooked dangers of oversharing.

Life can throw curveballs that leave you either knocked out or ready to catch the next pitch. We unravel the threads of life's fabric, from the accountability we hold to others, to the liberating yet intimidating dance with solitude. Carly stays on board as we navigate through her transformative journey from high school to college, and the tentative steps she's taking toward a nursing career amidst unprecedented times. We also indulge in the lighter side of life, confessing the most hilarious excuses we've ever concocted to skip out on plans.

Ending on a note of unfettered joy and a call to genuine individuality, we champion the art of being unapologetically oneself. Our "Heat Waves" segment strikes a chord, sharing both the thorns and blooms of our weekly experiences. We giggle, we groan, but most importantly, we embrace the message: be true to who you are and love fiercely and freely. And, just before we sign off, I can't resist sharing my deep-seated love affair with the magic that is Arm & Hammer Magic Erasers - because sometimes, it's the small victories in the battle against domestic chaos that make all the difference.

From the ethics of stepping in when a waiter catches flak, to sharing the dicey tales of our waitressing escapades, we've got you covered on how to be your best self in the stickiest of social predicaments. Then, it’s a full-court press into the dos and don’ts of dating profiles—let's be real, no one should be subjected to yet another gym selfie or a mysterious group pic where you're left playing "Guess Who's Single." We divulge our personal red flags and dissect the fine line between a charmingly sarcastic bio and one that screams "swipe left."

Finally, we dish out the not-so-secret sauce for surviving the dating scene—hint: it involves showing your pearly whites and maybe ditching those gray sweatpants.

As a single mom with a laundry list of duties, I've often felt like I'm sprinting a marathon with no finish line in sight. It's a sentiment echoed by my co-host Nikki, who juggles a daunting schedule that leaves little room for downtime. Together, we unpack the art of self-care in our latest episode, revealing how it's not just a luxury but a critical pillar for our well-being. We swap stories about the small life hacks that keep us going—from the position of our phones to the catharsis of a good gym workout—and the necessity of understanding our love languages to better communicate our needs to those around us, whether it be an assistant or a partner.

We also wade through the murky waters of household responsibilities, contemplating the lessons of accountability our children learn through chores and the oft-frustrating quest for a clean bathroom in a bustling family household. This segues into the deeper aspect of emotional self-care, where we stress the power of boundaries and the sanctity of 'no.' With a nod to unconventional stress busters like rage rooms, and the solace found in the embrace of solid friendships, we leave you with a reminder: carving out space for self-care isn't selfish, it's essential. So, join us as we take a step back, breathe, and navigate the messy, beautiful journey of taking care of ourselves.

Have you ever experienced a moment in a bar that made your instincts scream, "Something's not right"? That's where our latest episode takes you, deep into the unsettling world of date rape drugs and the dark underbelly of nightlife. As we share our experiences and those of our listeners, like Nikki's recollection of a patron's enigmatic request for an 'angel shot', we aim to peel back the curtain on the silent signals and hidden dangers that lurk amidst the party scene. We also examine the efforts of promoters in creating a safe environment for women during events such as bachelorette parties, in places like Scottsdale, where the nightlife pulsates with energy and potential peril.

The conversation turns introspective as I recount my own brush with vulnerability, detailing how I was drugged at a bar—an experience that left me physically helpless but mentally alert. It's a harrowing reminder of the treachery that can be concealed in an unwatched glass. Together, we navigate the murky waters of spotting when someone's been compromised by a spiked drink, unraveling the complexities of distinguishing the effects of date rape drugs from mere drunkenness. This segment is not just a narrative but a wake-up call, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding our drinks and trusting our gut to spot red flags.

In a dramatic shift, we bring the discussion to the virtual realm where the perils of online dating take center stage. We recount a sobering tale from Australia, a grim reminder of what can go wrong when swipes lead to real-life encounters. Our emphasis is on the crucial steps to ensure safety: public meetings, background checks, and a dose of healthy skepticism. As we wrap up this eye-opening episode, we invite you to join the dialogue on social media, where your stories become part of a larger mosaic, contributing to a collective endeavor to foster a culture of awareness and respect in both our physical and digital interactions.

Have you ever turned down a chance to find love in front of the camera? Our new pal Tony did just that, opting out of reality show lights for real-life insights into the Central Valley's dating scene. Together, we're unpacking the good, the bad, and the hilariously awkward sides of modern relationships, from unexpected date proposals to the art of maintaining your cool (and your hygiene) in the pursuit of love.

Tony's not shy about his dating history or his take on the challenges of finding the right balance in a relationship. We share stories that'll make you nod in agreement or cringe in sympathy, like dealing with a partner's TikTok fame or navigating the murky waters of 'the ick' in compatibility. Meanwhile, we're all getting real about what it means to set boundaries, read between the lines, and respect each other's space without losing that spark of connection.

Stick around as we wade through some less talked about, yet crucial aspects of dating—yes, we're going there: hygiene. Expect unfiltered chat about confronting body odors without offending, the debate over jacuzzi cleanliness, and why sexual health is a non-negotiable in a world of multiple partnerships. Our banter is a mix of pointed advice and personal confessions, promising not just laughs but also a treasure trove of relationship wisdom you didn't know you needed.
