This is the final episode of season 1!! The girlies are taking a summer break, but before they do, they’re recapping the last few weeks packed full of trips and events. Ashtyn recaps her anniversary trip to France, and Charissa tells about meeting a musical icon of hers at a musical festival.

Anna Comer joins the podcast today with her story of success as a young entrepreneur. By age 25, Anna’s career has shifted and changed in ways she never saw coming, but she shares how she rode the wave of uncertainty and trusted her gut as new opportunities have risen in her life.

Warning, you may cry from laughter as Ashtyn gets DE.TAILED. about what to expect when doing enemas for the first time ever in hopes of passing parasites.

Have you ever swung the pendulum so far you stressed yourself out in the world of wellness? Cause same. We know what it’s like to go ham in all the things you have to switch out, avoid, and throw away.

This episode is for you…the recovering nontoxic perfectionists, trying to find your peace again!

You submitted, we’re reading through them: the trends you just can’t get behind! This episode is all for funsies, talking through what trends are attracting or repelling people. Most are fashion related, some are social media specific. All are full of opinions.

We’ve got beef with comparison. Let’s get honest with ourselves, the mental game we do with ourselves when comparing our lives to others’ is destructive, and no one is better for it. We want to keep the conversation of comparison at the forefront so we can practically fight against it and live from a place of gratitude and perspective, instead. When we live from gratitude, we work differently and function healthier in our relationships. This episode will light a fire in you!
