   The Scoop on Becoming - Ep 61

   What if the version of ourselves that emerges after loss is someone we haven't even met yet? This week, we get real about life-changing losses, unexpected transitions, and the possibility of becoming someone new. Inspired by a story Paula heard on Mel Robbins' podcast, originally shared by Ed Mylett, we explore the metaphor of an eagle shedding its old feathers and preparing for a new chapter. Is it a true story? We're not claiming that! But the message sparked a conversation worth having. We talk about: 🦅 When life changes us: How losing a relationship, a career, a dream, our health, or even an old version of ourselves can leave us wondering, "Who are we now?" ✨ Letting go: People-pleasing, resentment, guilt, shame and fear. What are we carrying that no longer belongs in our next chapter? ❤️ Finding ourselves again: Not by trying to return to who we used to be, but by discovering who we might become. 🔥 What would we do if we weren't afraid? Climb a fourteener? Travel more? Start something new? We each take a look at the fears holding us back. And perhaps the biggest takeaway: Hard things aren't necessarily blessings in disguise, and we don't have to pretend they are. But even in the middle of loss, we can find the courage to grow, change and create a life that looks different from the one we imagined. We wrap up with a little wisdom from Erin's mom: "When you've got one foot in the past and one in the future, you're pissing all over today." So maybe it's time to stop looking back, stop worrying about what's ahead, and start showing up for the lives we're living right now. Here's to shedding a few feathers, letting go of what no longer serves us, and becoming. Happy Sunday Sundae! 🍨

   The Scoop on No Makeup! Ep 60

   Sunday Sundae: Unmade 💄 Happy Sunday Sundae! This week, we show up completely unmade—no foundation, no mascara, no filters. Just real friends, real talk, and a whole lot of laughs about makeup, skincare, beauty standards, and the journey to feeling comfortable in our own skin. From middle school acne and sneaking makeup on the Mesa Verde trip to ’80s blue eyeshadow, Madonna-inspired looks, gothic phases, and eyebrow regrets, we’re taking a trip down memory lane to revisit the beauty trends that shaped us. We get real about growing up without seeing ourselves represented in magazines, being our own worst critics, and looking back at old photos only to wonder why we ever thought we didn’t look good. We swap skincare stories, compare old-school remedies with today’s must-have products, and discuss everything from cold cream and pencil-thin eyebrows to retinol, wrinkle patches, tattooed eyeliner, and magnifying mirrors. And as we get older, one question remains: Are we finally learning to love the skin we’re in, or have we just found new things to criticize? Our biggest beauty reminders? Wash your face every night. Wear sunscreen every day—and don’t forget your hat! Take the pictures. All of them. Even when you don’t feel your best. Because one day, you’ll look back at those photos and realize you were beautiful all along. Remember: “You’re not fat, you’re beautiful. Take lots of pictures, because one day you’ll look back and say, ‘Man, I was fine.’” Real friends. Real talk. Real life. And this Sunday, absolutely unmade. 🍨

   The Scoop on Fall Break - Ep 59

   Another school break already?! 🍂 Remember when we had Christmas break, spring break, and that was pretty much it? In this Sunday Sundae conversation, we’re questioning how school calendars have changed and whether fall break so soon after the school year starts is really necessary. While students and teachers may need a reset, working parents are left juggling childcare, work schedules, and the question of whether a break that short is even worth it! We explore alternative school calendars, from combining fall break with Thanksgiving to aligning spring break with Easter, year-round schooling, and the pros and cons of block scheduling. And because no Sunday Sundae conversation stays on one topic for too long, we take a few unexpected detours into smoking and vaping, food dyes, processed foods, supplements, and what’s actually in the products we use every day. We wrap things up with a humorous thought: maybe fall break is the perfect opportunity for families to pay a little more attention to what their kids are eating and consuming! So, has the school calendar really improved since our generation was in school, or have we just made life more complicated? Let’s talk about it!
