In this episode, Caitlin and Emily dive into a wide array of engaging topics that reflect their lives and interests. They discuss the joys of soup season and a Mark Bittman recipe book, while also reflecting on the complexities of being a mom and wife, and the pressure of "perfect moms" on Instagram. Caitlin shares her experiences with Weight Watchers, tying into broader discussions on self-care, health, and industry-agnostic CEOs. They explore heavier topics like scream therapy, stalkers, and new laws protecting the money earned by children of parent influencers, while also celebrating lighter moments like their shared love for Katherine Hahn, "The Holiday," and their favourite beauty products, from Somerset moss to L'Occitane hand cream. The duo touches on pop culture, with nods to Anna Kendrick’s latest film and memoir, as well as Tim Burton and Monica Bellucci. They even question if you really have to finish a book once you start and reflect on generational issues like the "Jackpot Generation." Caitlin and Emily weave together humour, vulnerability, and a little bit of everything in this rich, relatable conversation.

It's here! It's us!If you’re the kind of person who needs to know what the hell is going on in the world, wants to hear a hot take on the latest prestige TV, or just get a great recommendation for new music to listen to or book to read over the weekend, you’ve found your people. Each week, hosts Caitlin Howden and Emily Key get together to chat about cultural conversations and news, make fun of the latest pop culture happenings, rant about life’s minor inconveniences, judge each other’s style and life choices, and maybe interview a guest or 2.  Okay, but most importantly: if you’ve shown up at a dinner party or meeting and not known what on earth people are talking about, then pull up a chair, baby, you’re at the right table. You'll feel like you're snuggled up on the couch chatting with your smart friends, or catching up with your girlfriend at a coffee shop while she fills you in on the latest drama.To put it simply…we’re all fucking busy. It’s really hard to stay on top of what’s going on in the world when we’re served up non-stop panic-inducing and 100% click-baity headlines. So, enough with the doomscrolling. We’ve sifted through all of that for you and made it super easy for you to get what you need in one place. Occasionally we’ll even have really interesting guests on the show to help us understand some of the more complicated topics, like how generative AI is changing tech and what that means for us, the neverending cycle of jaw-dropping politics, and other super important stuff like mental health, why skinny jeans are actually never out of style, and questionable relationship advice.***Email anytime with questions: [email protected] subscribe or follow or whatever that little button says now so you don’t miss the weekly episode.

This week's crazy idea is to live your life as though you're recovering from a brain injury. Recovering from burnout looks a lot like recovering from a brain injury, and there are 3 key areas of focus that can help you make a full recovery: personal choices around your physical and mental health, implementing a pacing strategy in your day to day, and using a points system to track your daily output.By understanding how to keep the guardrails in place, you can complete the marathon, not huff and puff your way through the made up sprint we're all tempted to run. Pour that second cup of coffee and grab a blanket. It's time to unwind.
