The kids grow up, move out, and suddenly the house is quiet. Sounds peaceful… so why are we feeling guilty for enjoying it? 😂
In this episode, we’re getting into the reality of empty nest syndrome, motherhood, identity, and what happens when the role that consumed so much of your life starts to change. Terri shares what it’s like navigating life as an empty nester, while Tyerra gives the adult-child perspective—including whether we actually feel guilty for leaving home.
We talk about losing yourself in motherhood, rediscovering who you are outside of being “Mom,” whether adult children are responsible for filling the void, and why this next chapter might be less about an empty nest and more about finally making room for yourself.
Because maybe the nest isn’t empty… maybe there’s just finally some space. 👀

🎙️ In This Episode:
The reality of empty nest syndrome
Motherhood, identity & finding yourself again
Feeling guilty about enjoying your newfound freedom
The adult-child perspective on leaving home
Should adult children be responsible for their parents’ loneliness?
Friendships, relationships & life after the kids leave

In this episode, we're asking the question nobody wants to admit they're thinking: is a midlife crisis actually a crisis... or just the moment you realize your life isn't going exactly as planned?
We get into what a midlife crisis really looks like today, why so many of us feel like we're falling behind (even when we're not), and whether turning 30 is basically the new version of turning 50. We also put Terri in the hot seat to figure out if she's actually having a midlife crisis—or if becoming an empty nester and changing careers is simply the start of a brand-new chapter.
Whether you're questioning your career, your purpose, or just wondering why everyone else seems to have it together, this episode is your reminder that none of us really know what we're doing... and that's oddly comforting.

🎙️ In This Episode:
What a midlife crisis really looks like today
Midlife crisis vs. identity crisis
Why so many of us feel behind
Is 30 the new midlife? (Quarter-life crisis edition)

In this episode, we're proving that some movies only get better with age... while others had us booking tickets the second they hit theaters. We're sharing our all-time favorite classics, the three movies we could rewatch forever, and the best films we've seen this year.
From nostalgic comfort movies to recent blockbusters, we compare notes, defend our questionable picks, and inevitably judge each other's taste along the way. Whether you're looking for your next movie night recommendation or just want to know which films we think deserve all the hype, we've got opinions—and plenty of them.
Because let's be honest... there are two kinds of people: those who rewatch the same comfort movie 47 times, and those who somehow always have something new on their watchlist.

🎙️ In This Episode:
Our favourite "oldie but goodie" movies
The Top 3 movies we'll never get tired of watching
The best movies we've watched this year
The films that lived up to the hype (and the ones that didn't)
Movie recommendations for your next night in

In this episode, we're questioning the idea that doing more automatically means living better. Somewhere along the way, we started believing every morning needed a five-step routine, every free minute had to be productive, and saying "yes" to everyone was a personality trait.
We talk about why we're intentionally slowing down—from letting go of overly regimented morning routines to accepting that not every day needs to be packed with accomplishments. We also discuss setting healthier boundaries, not always being available, and making more time for solo travel, quiet moments, and doing absolutely nothing without feeling guilty.
Turns out, protecting your peace might be the most productive thing you do all week.

🎙️ In This Episode:
• Why we're choosing to do less, not more
• Letting go of the "perfect" morning routine
• Setting boundaries and protecting your time
• Why rest isn't something you have to earn
• Solo travel, wellness days & slowing down
• Redefining what a productive day looks like

In this episode, we're taking one for the team and sharing the health and wellness trends that completely flopped for us. From 75 Hard and keto to chia seed water, apple cider vinegar, and the infamous Master Cleanse, we've tried our fair share of viral wellness hacks—and let's just say... not all of them deserved the hype.
We break down what worked (if anything), what we'd never do again, and why chasing the latest health trend isn't always the answer. If you've ever been personally victimized by wellness TikTok or convinced yourself that drinking vinegar would magically change your life, this episode is for you.
Because sometimes the healthiest thing you can do... is admit it was a terrible idea.

🎙️ In This Episode:
Health trends that didn't live up to the hype
75 Hard: our honest experience
Keto, chia seed water & apple cider vinegar
The Master Cleanse (yes... we tried it)
Why simple habits beat viral wellness trends
