How do two friends keep a friendship alive for 20 years long distance? Melissa and Whitney aren’t quite sure what the secret is. Maybe after listening to them chat about everything from raising fur-babies and human babies, to the calming powers of The Great British Bake-Off, to comparing notes on their book club choice for that month you'll understand their friendship better than they do. Join them every week for a silly, sarcastic, sometimes serious, but always enjoyable gabfest with your two new adult lady friends.

Today we’re talking about June’s book club pick, Open Book by Jessica Simpson. Melissa and Whitney weren’t fans back in the early 2000s, but this book gave them a new found respect for her. It is a great summer read, love, betrayal, family drama, emotional affairs and glitter cups. Whitney might go down the Botox road (for migraines, not vanity) and Melissa has some exciting developments in her business. They also chat about the current status of masks in this country, and boy oh boy is that a cluster f*ck.

Episode 26 You're Not Better Because You're Skinny
This week we’re bringing an episode that we didn't get to air in late May. We’re talking about diet culture and how that has shaped us as ladies in our mid-30’s. We grew up in the 90’s, fat was the devil guys!!! Whitney talks about how she talks to her kids about food, and physical appearance at their young ages.Melissa talks about her experience with Keto and fasting and its effect on her mental health. We go down a rabbit hole about Jenny Craig’s origin (we just had to know). We talk about fat shaming, Instagram’s shitty algorithm to body shame you, society’s obsessions with judging people’s body’s, office weight loss challenges and society valuing people more if they are skinny.

Episode 25 Racism and Imposters
Hi Everyone. We’re back with an episode we recorded on June 2, just a few days after the murder of George Floyd and 3 days in to the national protests. We talk about protests, police, Black Lives Matter and our role in systemic racism. We also talk about imposter syndrome, we’re all over on this episode. We know a lot has changed in the past 2 weeks since this episode was recorded but we wanted to release this as a way to continue the dialogue.
