Welcome back to Season 2 of The Thick Pod! In this episode, Michelle and Kelsey catch up after an unplanned break and dive into all the things—brand trips, dog surgery, family balance, and the ever-evolving chaos of content creation. They open up about burnout, comparison traps, and the pressure to perform on social media while trying to stay authentic (and sane). Whether you’re a creator, a parent, or just here for the vibes, this one feels like a FaceTime with your best friends—complete with groceries, makeup touch-ups, and wasp drama.

On this week’s episode of The Thick Pod, Michelle and Kelsey are coming in hot—with opinions, therapy updates, and some of the wildest Reddit stories you’ve ever heard. From dissecting their personal growth in therapy to debating what’s “too far” in the name of self-care, nothing is off-limits. They also dive into internet chaos with dramatic Reddit tales that’ll leave you gasping (and maybe reconsidering your friend group). Expect laughs, deep dives, and more than a few unhinged moments.

This week on The Thick Pod, Michelle and Kelsey sit down with the legendary Sarah Potempa—celebrity hairstylist and founder of The Beachwaver. From braiding hair on sports buses to creating a cult-favorite curling iron, Sarah shares the incredible story behind launching a self-funded, family-run beauty empire. We talk sisterhood, small business hustle, Kelsey’s upcoming collab, and the power of community—plus the heartwarming story of how a kindergarten teacher became one of Beachwaver’s first ambassadors. You’re going to leave this one inspired! Thank you Sarah! @‌sarahpotempa @thebeachwaver
