Relative Chaos is five sisters — spanning mid-20s to almost 40, single to mom of three, from CEO to still figuring it out — having the conversations that usually stay in the group chat.
We talk about the stuff that matters and the stuff that absolutely does not — with the kind of honesty that only comes from people who've known you your entire life. Conversations about ambition, motherhood, relationships, the messy realities of adulting, what we're reading, what we're spiraling about, and the small unhinged moments that somehow turn into the best conversations.
Some of it will make you think. Most of it will make you laugh.
Everyone needs someone who will hype you up and keep you honest all in the same breath. That's what sisters are for. And if you don't have one, you can borrow ours.
For all the moments, to be discussed.

Harsh Dating Truths, Elizabeth Holmes & the Trials of Feeling Ancient
Erin, Megan, and Clare are in the chat, with Erin calling in from bed and a three-year-old making unscheduled appearances. The sisters saw the Elizabeth Holmes documentary and came out shook, with one take that isn’t going to be popular. Then they went straight to a club and discovered exactly how old they’ve become. Also up for debate: whether the quality of men has officially declined, if any man should ever be allowed to post a selfie, and the SEC dating theory that explains every couple y...

The Emotional Support Cookie, Therapy Avoidance, & The Millennial Bat Signal
Cat, Clare, and Emma are in the chat. Cat calls in from her new apartment, where the baby’s room is still a storage unit, the countdown is at 32 days, and her daughter is currently the size of a Swiss chard. The sisters get into glam therapy: why it’s so easy to cancel a session when life feels fine, how Dad heard “therapy” and asked “physical?”, and why it’s a tool, not a crutch. Then it’s internet trolls, Tom Holland’s “text me” rule, and the time one TikTok joke at Cat’s expense set off th...

Nobody Hosts Anymore, Embracing Being Inconvenienced & Your Man Can Do Hard Things
Erin, Megan, Clare, and Emma are in the chat, and Thanksgiving is moving to New York this year, which means confronting the fact that the childhood home is gone and new traditions have to start somewhere. The sisters get into why nobody hosts anymore, what everyone lost when they set the bar impossibly high, and how much of childhood turns out to be other people’s living rooms. Clare makes the case that boundaries have officially gone too far and you should just go to the birthday dinner. Als...

The Summer Seven, Tweakments & Sleepover Politics
The sisters are back after summer, and everyone is attempting to get their life together. Clare has a calendar full of haircuts, brows, spray tans, and every other appointment required to feel like a person again, while Megan comes home and immediately purges half her house. From there it turns to fall resets, why September feels like a second New Year, and the chores everyone would happily never do again. Then comes the real debate of the episode: sleepovers. Would they let their own kids ha...

When a Hobby Becomes Your Whole Personality, Working Through Mat Leave & Who's Your Family's Wizard?
Megan, Cat, and Clare are in the chat, and Clare admits she cannot pick up a hobby without making it her entire personality. Reading, baking, Harry Potter, all in or all out, including the night she stayed up until 6am finishing a book and took a half sick day for it. She also explains Wattpad and One Direction fan fiction to two sisters who have never heard of either. Megan gets into working through her first maternity leave when nobody asked her to, why she regrets it, and what she now tell...

40s is Prime Time, Goals vs Ambition & the Fart That Started a War
Erin, Megan, and Cat finally made it to an in-person recording, and it opens with Cat on day one of a month-long sabbatical: a color-coded to-do list, a stack of baby admin she didn't see coming, and a fear of being possessed by the devil. From there it turns to aging and whether 40s being prime time is exhilarating or exhausting, because the same runway that means your life isn't over also means the goalposts never stop moving. Which leads to the real question of the episode: can you be ambi...

The Age of Instagram & Why We Talk Like This
Cat, Clare, and Emma are in the group chat. This week, the sisters debate the modern rules of posting, influencer wedding culture, and whether we're all over-curating our lives online after a Thanksgiving conversation somehow turns into a millennial versus Gen Z showdown. Cat is then put to the test with a Gen Z slang quiz featuring words she'd rather never hear again. Plus, Zendaya's The Odyssey press tour, Matt Damon's unexpected glow-up, and why the internet should maybe calm down.

Summer Transitions, Life on the Commune, Puka or Chain?
The sisters have officially descended on Nantucket for the summer, recording from bed on day four of commune life: 11 adults, six kids, and zero personal space. Clare has prepared Andrew a full orientation guide (no sleeping in, house chores mandatory), Erin woke up at 4am with her OCD reaching new heights, and Megan's camp counselor energy can't be contained. Also on the agenda: the crusty versus greasy personality debate, puka versus chain, a live CoStar reading under the Strawberry Moon, a...

Soulmates, Bad Dates and the Art of Showing Up
Erin, Cat, and Clare are back in the chat this week, diving into the highs, lows, and absolute chaos of modern dating - and whether anyone should still be holding fish in their Hinge profile photos. The sisters swap stories about blind dates, debate relationship dealbreakers, and share the moments they knew they'd found their person (or at least stopped getting the ick). Plus: a debate on soulmates, internet dating culture, and the growing challenge of meeting people in real life. Along the w...

The Climb, Megan Is Kim & Why You Have to Start Before You're Ready
Erin, Megan, Cat, and Clare are in the chat this week. The sisters get into what it's actually been like climbing cringe mountain, early lessons from leaping before you're ready, and why they're still climbing anyway. Erin opens up about starting Pepper Home, experimenting in public, overcoming doubt, and why pushing through those early setbacks is a skill everyone needs to develop. Plus: the sisters find their Kardashian counterparts (Megan is absolutely Kim), a full sister fight club breakd...

Birth Order, Brutal Rejuvenation & How Your Siblings Shape Who You Are
All five sisters are in the chat for this one. We get into birth order, eldest daughter trauma (or lack thereof), and what growing up in a big family actually does to you — the roles you never asked for, the comparisons you couldn't avoid, and the siblings who shaped you before you even knew it was happening. Turns out the oldest got off easy, the middle child's therapist has notes, and the youngest has thoughts. Plus: relationship advice from the elders that actually worked and TBLs all arou...

Fixing Gravity, Body Image in the Instagram Era & the May Lineup We've Been Waiting For
Fresh off a blepharoplasty (aka a bleph) and looking a little bit like Zorro, Erin arrives ready for a full show-and-tell. What starts as a reveal turns into a candid conversation about cosmetic procedures, body image, and whether Instagram has completely distorted the way we see ourselves. Clare finally tells the dog story — including Dad’s deal, the puppy that never came, and the negotiation tactic only an older sister could finagle. The May book lineup gets its moment, Clare’s LA trip is t...
