In their quest for "self-improvement," join Maggie and Danielle as they discuss a different self-help method each episode, often while drinking an entire bottle of champagne in the process.
Maggie and Danielle are extremely #grateful, #thankful and #blessed to be celebrating their one year pod anniversary by indulging in some gratitude journaling which was popularized in the 90s by (you guessed it) Oprah. Our hosts discuss the pitfalls of toxic positivity, some butt stuff, and how their lives lately have been (sometimes literally) on fire. Dig in!

Digital Detox: The Only Detox We'll Do
The ladies pop some Topo Chico and settle in for some tales about hitting (and getting hit on) on the dance floor, Maggie's recent fashion updates, and what happens when you find an errant purse in the bike lane. They also sidewind their way into a (very brief) history of the Internet before discussing their week of living in the world IRL without being glued to their phones.

Psychics: Critical Thinking is KING
Buckle up, Helpers--in what might be the ladies' most unhinged episode yet, we quickly learn we do not need a pet psychic to know Maggie's dog farted in the recording studio. Maggie and Danielle also embark on a winding discussion about their own psychic experiences, why people in more marginalized communities might gravitate toward psychics, and how the industry has the potential to be exploitative. Also discussed: Teal Swan, encounters with ghosts, aliens, and the people who refuse to believe in them (you know who you are).
