This week, we're catching up. And somewhere between weddings, travel, dating updates, career changes and everything else happening in our lives, we ended up talking about something we think a lot of people in their 30s are feeling: friendship looks different now.
As our lives get fuller and everyone moves through different seasons, maintaining friendships isn't as automatic as it once was. Sometimes months go by without seeing someone you love. Some friendships survive almost entirely through Instagram. Others quietly fade without anyone ever really acknowledging what happened.
We talk about how our own friendships have evolved as we've gotten older, what it means to actually show up for people when life is busy, navigating friendships when one person is single and another is in a relationship, friendship breakups, and whether "we need to get together soon" actually means anything anymore.
And we ask ourselves a question that gets a little more emotional than expected: Who would you call at 2 a.m., and who would call you?
Plus, lots of life updates, because apparently a lot can happen when we don't properly catch up.

She Bought a €27K House in Sicily and Rethought Everything w/ Kiki in Sicily
What if the life you've been working so hard to build isn't actually the life you want?
This week on It's Cool Us Too, we're joined by Kiki in Sicily, who traded life in LA for a €27,000 historic home in a small Sicilian town. With no renovation experience and plenty of uncertainty ahead, Kiki took a chance on building a completely different kind of life.
We talk about what it really takes to start over, the unexpected challenges of renovating a home abroad, and the difference between having a busy social life and finding a genuine sense of community.
Kiki shares how life in Mussomeli has changed her relationship with work, money and success, and why creating financial security can sometimes mean needing less rather than earning more. We also get into cultural differences, taking risks when you don't have everything figured out, and what happens when you stop chasing the milestones everyone expects you to hit.
Whether you've dreamed of moving abroad, changing careers or simply slowing down, this conversation is about giving yourself permission to question the status quo and build a life that feels like your own.

Things Actually Worth Spending Money On
Everyone has an opinion on what's "worth the money." Some people swear by expensive skincare. Others will die on the hill that direct flights, quality luggage, or a cleaning service are life-changing.
This week, we're putting the viral TikTok trend to the test and sharing the purchases we'd happily buy again and again.
From beauty and wellness to travel, home, and the little luxuries that make everyday life easier, we're breaking down what we think is actually worth the investment, what isn't, and why spending more isn't always about being extravagant. Sometimes it's about buying back your time, protecting your peace, or simply making your day a little better.
As always, we go off on a few tangents along the way, including dating app updates, cottage weekends, apartment chaos, and the random things that have brought us joy lately.
In this episode, we cover:
The beauty products and treatments we think actually live up to the hype
Wellness investments that genuinely improved our lives
Home upgrades that make everyday routines feel more enjoyable
Travel purchases we'll never travel without again
The small luxuries that consistently make us happier
Where we think it's worth spending more—and where we'd save our money instead
Whether you're looking to make smarter purchases, justify something that's been sitting in your cart, or simply love hearing people's strong opinions on everyday products, this episode is for you.
Let us know: What's one purchase you'll defend forever? We'd love to hear your "worth every penny" recommendations.
