This week, we’re talking current media obsessions — the shows, books, and movies we’re hooked on right now and why we can’t stop thinking about them.

From drama to nostalgia, here’s what’s been living rent-free in our brains lately — plus the shows, books, and movies on our to-watch and to-read lists.

📺 TV Shows: White Lotus, Younger, Sirens, Friends and Neighbors, Sex Life, Dying for Sex, and We Were Liars.
📚 Books: All Fours, Scythe, Brooke Shields is not allowed to Get Old, The Great Alone, Pretty Girls
🎬 Movies: Twilight, The Substance — a wild ride we’re still processing, Coda, A Simple Favor, Anora, Baby Girl, and The Idea of You, This is Where I Leave You.

We’re chatting about what we love, what surprised us, what we didn't like, and what these stories are teaching us about ourselves.

It’s honest, a little chaotic, and full of recommendations if you’re looking for your next obsession.

What does it actually take to feel strong, energized, and empowered? In this episode, we’re joined by Coach Sasha, founder of LeanPowerment and creator of the LEAN coaching programs, to talk about what real wellness looks like when you’re not 25 anymore—and thank goodness for that.

We dive into:

• The power of daily movement and why it’s more impactful than extreme fitness trends
• Sasha’s “100 Days of Health” philosophy and how committing to small, consistent actions can lead to long-term change
• The truth about nutrition — from getting enough protein and the importance of healthy fats to understanding how addictive sugar really is
• How Sasha creates individualized coaching programs that meet women where they’re at
• Why accountability, community, and consistency matter so much more than motivation alone

If you’re ready to get honest about what your body and mind truly need right now and want to ditch the guilt, perfectionism, and quick-fix mentality -- this episode will feel like the reset button you’ve been looking for.

This week, we’re stepping into the wilderness of midlife — careers shifting, creativity stretching, and the occasional emotional bear attack.

In this honest check-in episode, we unpack what we’ve been navigating lately using a little metaphor magic:

• Lions for the bold moves we’ve made (like launching this podcast and starting new jobs)
• Tigers for the fears and wild cards we didn’t see coming
• Bears for the burnout, boundaries, and the deep craving for rest

From Dannielle’s new telehealth role and navigating important life decisions, to Renee wrangling podcast systems and prepping to teach four subjects next year — we’re talking about what it really feels like to be in the thick of it.

It’s raw, it’s real, and it might just make you feel a little less alone in your own wild.
